Hebrews 12:4-17
4Ye have notG3768 yetG3768 resistedG478 unto bloodG129, strivingG464 againstG4314 sinG266:
5andG2532 ye have forgottenG1585 theG3588 exhortationG3874, whichG3748 reasoneth withG2532 youG5210 asG5613 withG2532 sonsG5207, MyG5259 sonG5207, regard notG3361 lightly theG3588 chastening ofG5207 theG3588 LordG2962, NorG3366 faintG1590 whenG5613 thou art reprovedG1651 ofG5207 himG846;
6ForG1063 whomG3739 theG3956 LordG2962 loveth heG3739 chasteneth, AndG1161 scourgeth everyG3956 sonG5207 whomG3739 heG3739 receiveth.
7ItG3739 is forG1063 chastening thatG3739 ye endureG5278; GodG2316 dealeth withG2316 youG5210 asG5613 withG2316 sonsG5207; forG1063 whatG5101 sonG5207 is thereG3962 whomG3739 hisG3739 fatherG3962 chasteneth notG3756?
8ButG1161 ifG1487 ye areG1510 withoutG5565 chastening, whereof allG3956 haveG1510 beenG1510 madeG1096 partakersG3353, thenG2532 areG1510 ye bastards, andG2532 notG3756 sonsG5207.
9FurthermoreG2532, weG2249 had theG3588 fathersG3962 ofG4151 ourG2532 fleshG4561 toG2532 chasten us, andG2532 weG2249 gave them reverence: shallG2532 weG2249 notG3756 muchG4183 ratherG3123 beG2532 inG2532 subjectionG5293 unto theG3588 FatherG3962 ofG4151 spiritsG4151, andG2532 liveG2198?
10ForG1063 theyG846 verily forG1063 a fewG3641 daysG2250 chastened usG1519 asG1519 seemedG1380 goodG1380 toG1519 themG846; butG1161 heG846 forG1063 ourG2596 profit, thatG846 weG1161 mayG1161 be partakers ofG2250 hisG846 holinessG41.
11AllG3956 chastening seemeth forG1223 theG3956 presentG3918 toG4314 beG1510 notG3756 joyous, butG1161 grievous: yetG1161 afterwardG5305 itG846 yieldeth peaceableG1516 fruitG2590 unto themG846 thatG3956 haveG1510 beenG1510 exercised thereby, evenG1161 theG3956 fruitG2590 ofG1223 righteousnessG1343.
12WhereforeG1352 lift up theG3588 handsG5495 thatG1352 hang down, andG2532 theG3588 palsied kneesG1119;
13andG2532 makeG4160 straightG3717 pathsG5163 forG2443 yourG4160 feetG4228, thatG2443 thatG2443 whichG3588 is lameG5560 beG2532 notG3361 turnedG1624 outG4160 ofG4228 theG3588 way, butG1161 ratherG3123 beG2532 healedG2390.
14Follow afterG3326 peaceG1515 withG3326 allG3956 menG3956, andG2532 theG3956 sanctificationG38 withoutG5565 whichG3739 noG3762 manG3762 shallG2532 seeG3708 theG3956 LordG2962:
15looking carefully lestG3361 thereG4183 beG2532 anyG5100 manG3778 thatG3778 falleth shortG5302 ofG1223 theG3588 graceG5485 ofG1223 GodG2316; lestG3361 anyG5100 rootG4491 ofG1223 bitternessG4088 springingG5453 upG5453 troubleG1776 youG2532, andG2532 thereby theG3588 manyG4183 beG2532 defiledG3392;
16lestG3361 thereG3739 beG5100 anyG5100 fornicator, orG2228 profaneG952 personG5100, asG5613 EsauG2269, whoG3739 forG473 oneG1520 mess ofG1520 meatG3588 soldG591 hisG1438 ownG1438 birthrightG4415.
17ForG1063 ye knowG1492 thatG3754 evenG2532 whenG2532 heG2532 afterwardG3326 desiredG2309 toG2309 inheritG2816 theG3588 blessingG2129, heG2532 was rejectedG593 (forG1063 heG2532 foundG2147 noG3756 placeG5117 ofG3588 repentanceG3341), thoughG2532 heG2532 sought itG846 diligently withG3326 tearsG1144.
