Hebrews 12:3-23

3ForG1063 considerG357 him that enduredG5278 suchG5108 hostilityG485 byG5259 sinnersG268 againstG1519 himselfG846, lestG3363 ye be weariedG2577 and faintG1590 in yourG5216 mindsG5590.

4Ye haveG478 not yetG3768 resistedG478 toG3360 bloodG129, strivingG464 againstG4314 sinG266. 5AndG2532 ye have forgottenG1585 the exhortationG3874 whichG3748 speakethG1256 to youG5213 asG5613 to childrenG5207, MyG3450 sonG5207, despiseG3643 notG3361 thouG3643 the chasteningG3809 of the LordG2962, norG3366 faintG1590 when thou art rebukedG1651 byG5259 himG846: 6ForG1063 whomG3739 the LordG2962 lovethG25 he chastenethG3811, andG1161 scourgethG3146 everyG3956 sonG5207 whomG3739 he receivethG3858. 7IfG1487 ye endureG5278 chasteningG3809, GodG2316 dealethG4374 with youG5213 asG5613 with sonsG5207; forG1063 whatG5101 sonG5207 is heG2076 whomG3739 the fatherG3962 chastenethG3811 notG3756? 8ButG1161 ifG1487 ye areG2075 withoutG5565 chastisementG3809, of whichG3739 allG3956 areG1096 partakersG3353, thenG686 are yeG2075 bastardsG3541, andG2532 notG3756 sonsG5207. 9FurthermoreG1534G3303 we have hadG2192 fathersG3962 of ourG2257 fleshG4561 who correctedG3810 us, andG2532 we gave them reverenceG1788: shall weG5293 notG3756 muchG4183 ratherG3123 be in subjectionG5293 to the FatherG3962 of spiritsG4151, andG2532 liveG2198? 10ForG1063 they verilyG3303 forG4314 a fewG3641 daysG2250 chastenedG3811 us afterG2596 their ownG846 pleasureG1380; butG1161 he forG1909 our profitG4851, thatG1519 we might be partakersG3335 of hisG846 holinessG41.1 11NowG1161 noG3956G3756 chasteningG3809 forG4314G3303 the presentG3918 seemethG1380 to beG1511 joyousG5479, butG235 grievousG3077: neverthelessG1161 afterwardG5305 it yieldethG591 the peaceableG1516 fruitG2590 of righteousnessG1343 to them who are exercisedG1128 byG1223 itG846. 12ThereforeG1352 lift upG461 the handsG5495 which hang downG3935, andG2532 the feebleG3886 kneesG1119; 13AndG2532 makeG4160 straightG3717 pathsG5163 for yourG5216 feetG4228, lest thatG3363 which is lameG5560 be turned out of the wayG1624; butG1161 let itG2390 ratherG3123 be healedG2390.2 14FollowG1377 peaceG1515 withG3326 allG3956 men, andG2532 holinessG38, withoutG5565 whichG3739 no manG3762 shall seeG3700 the LordG2962: 15Looking diligentlyG1983 lestG3361 any manG5100 failG5302 ofG575 the graceG5485 of GodG2316; lestG3361 anyG5100 rootG4491 of bitternessG4088 springingG5453 upG507 troubleG1776 you, andG2532 byG1223 itG5026 manyG4183 be defiledG3392;3 16LestG3361 there be anyG5100 immoralG4205, orG2228 profane personG952, asG5613 EsauG2269, whoG3739 forG473 oneG3391 mealG1035 soldG591 hisG846 birthrightG4415. 17ForG1063 ye knowG2467G3754 that afterwardG2532G3347, when he wouldG2309 have inheritedG2816 the blessingG2129, he was rejectedG593: forG1063 he foundG2147 noG3756 placeG5117 of repentanceG3341, thoughG2539 he soughtG1567 itG846 carefullyG1567 withG3326 tearsG1144.4

18ForG1063 ye areG4334 notG3756 comeG4334 to the mountG3735 that might be touchedG5584, andG2532 that burnedG2545 with fireG4442, norG2532 to blacknessG1105, andG2532 to darknessG4655, andG2532 tempestG2366, 19AndG2532 the soundG2279 of a trumpetG4536, andG2532 the voiceG5456 of wordsG4487; whichG3739 voice they that heardG191 entreatedG3868 that the wordG3056 shouldG4369 notG3361 be spokenG4369 to themG846 any moreG3361: 20(ForG1063 they couldG5342 notG3756 endureG5342 that which was commandedG1291, And if so much asG2579 a beastG2342 touchG2345 the mountainG3735, it shall be stonedG3036, orG2228 thrust throughG2700 with an arrowG1002: 21AndG2532 soG3779 terribleG5398 wasG2258 the sightG5324, that MosesG3475 saidG2036, I exceedingly fearG1630G1510 andG2532 trembleG1790:) 22ButG235 ye are comeG4334 to mountG3735 ZionG4622, andG2532 to the cityG4172 of the livingG2198 GodG2316, the heavenlyG2032 JerusalemG2419, andG2532 to an innumerable companyG3461 of angelsG32, 23To the general assemblyG3831 andG2532 churchG1577 of the firstbornG4416, who are writtenG583 inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 to GodG2316 the JudgeG2923 of allG3956, andG2532 to the spiritsG4151 of just menG1342 made perfectG5048,5
