< Hebrews 12 >

1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off every encumbrance and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with endurance the race set out for us.
Therefore also we ourselves such a great having encompassing us a cloud of witnesses, weight having laid aside every and the easily entangling sin, with endurance may run the lying before us race
2 Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
looking to the of [our] faith founder and perfecter Jesus, who in view of what is lying before Him joy endured [the] cross [its] shame having despised, at right hand and of the throne of God (has sat down. *N(k)O*)
3 Consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
do consider fully for the [One] such great having endured from sinners against (Himself *N(k)(O)*) hostility, so that not you may grow weary in the souls of you fainting.
4 In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.
Not yet unto blood have you resisted against sin struggling
5 And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: “My son, do not take lightly the discipline of the Lord, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you.
and you have forgotten the exhortation that you as to sons addresses: Son of Mine, not do regard lightly [the] discipline of [the] Lord, nor do faint by Him being reproved.
6 For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastises every son He receives.”
Whom for He loves [the] Lord disciplines, He scourges now every son whom He receives.
7 Endure suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?
As discipline endure, as sons you is treating God; what for (is *k*) son [is there] whom not disciplines [his] father?
8 If you do not experience discipline like everyone else, then you are illegitimate children and not true sons.
If however without you are of discipline of which partakers they have become all, then illegitimate children and not sons you are.
9 Furthermore, we have all had earthly fathers who disciplined us, and we respected them. Should we not much more submit to the Father of our spirits and live?
Furthermore indeed of the flesh of us fathers we were having correctors and we were respecting [them]; not (much *N(k)O*) (however *n*) more will we be in subjection to the Father of spirits and will live?
10 Our fathers disciplined us for a short time as they thought best, but God disciplines us for our good, so that we may share in His holiness.
Indeed for during a few days according to which is seeming good to them they were disciplining [us], [He] however for which is [our] benefitting in order to share of the holiness of Him.
11 No discipline seems enjoyable at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it yields a harvest of righteousness and peace to those who have been trained by it.
All (now *NK(o)*) discipline for indeed those being present not it seems of joy to be but of grief, afterward however [the] fruit peaceable to those through it trained it yields of righteousness.
12 Therefore strengthen your limp hands and weak knees.
Therefore the drooped hands and the enfeebled knees do lift up,
13 Make straight paths for your feet, so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.
and paths straight (do make *N(k)O*) for the feet of you, so that not the lame may be disabled, may be healed however rather.
14 Pursue peace with everyone, as well as holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.
Peace do pursue with all and holiness, which without no [one] will behold the Lord;
15 See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God, and that no root of bitterness springs up to cause trouble and defile many.
observing lest any be failing of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness up springing may trouble [you], and through (this *N(k)O*) may be defiled (*o*) many;
16 See to it that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his birthright.
lest [there be] any fornicator or profane person as Esau, who for meal one sold the birthright (of himself. *N(k)O*)
17 For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected. He could find no ground for repentance, though he sought the blessing with tears.
You know for that even afterward wishing to inherit the blessing he was rejected; of repentance for place not he found although with tears having earnestly sought it.
18 For you have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness, gloom, and storm;
Not for you have come to [that] being touched (mountain *K*) and kindled with fire and to darkness and (to gloom *N(k)O*) and to storm
19 to a trumpet blast or to a voice that made its hearers beg that no further word be spoken.
and of a trumpet to [the] sound and to a voice of declaration which those having heard they excused themselves [asking] not to be addressed to them [the] word;
20 For they could not bear what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned.”
not [able] they were bearing for which is being commanded: If even If even a beast shall touch the mountain, it will be stoned (or with arrow will be shot down *K*)
21 The sight was so terrifying that even Moses said, “I am trembling with fear.”
And thus fearful was the [thing] appearing [that] Moses said; Greatly afraid I am and trembling;
22 Instead, you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to myriads of angels
But you have come to Zion Mount and to [the] city of God [the] living, to Jerusalem [the] heavenly and to myriads of angels
23 in joyful assembly, to the congregation of the firstborn, enrolled in heaven. You have come to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect,
to [the] assembly and to [the] church of [the] firstborn enrolled in [the] heavens and to [the] judge God of all and to [the] spirits of [the] righteous perfected
24 to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
and of a covenant new [the] mediator to Jesus and to [the] blood of sprinkling (better thing *N(K)O*) speaking than that of Abel.
25 See to it that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if the people did not escape when they refused Him who warned them on earth, how much less will we escape if we reject Him who warns us from heaven?
do take heed lest you may refuse the [One] speaking; If for they not (escaped *N(k)O*) on (*k*) earth having refused the [One] divinely instructing [them], (much *N(k)O*) less we ourselves the [One] from [the] heavens turning away from,
26 At that time His voice shook the earth, but now He has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth, but heaven as well.”
whose voice the earth shook at that time, now however He has promised saying; Yet once [more] I myself (will shake *N(k)O*) not only the earth but also heaven.
27 The words “Once more” signify the removal of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that the unshakable may remain.
This now Yet once [more], signifies that of the [things] being shaken removing as created, so that may remain the [things] not being shaken.
28 Therefore, since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us be filled with gratitude, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.
Therefore a kingdom not to be shaken receiving we may have grace through which (we may serve *NK(o)*) well pleasingly God with reverence and (fear; *N(k)O*)
29 “For our God is a consuming fire.”
Also for the God of us [is] a fire consuming.
