< Hebrews 12 >
1 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 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 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 Not yet unto blood have you resisted against sin struggling
5 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 Whom for He loves [the] Lord disciplines, He scourges now every son whom He receives.
7 As discipline endure, as sons you is treating God; what for (is *k*) son [is there] whom not disciplines [his] father?
8 If however without you are of discipline of which partakers they have become all, then illegitimate children and not sons you are.
9 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 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 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 the drooped hands and the enfeebled knees do lift up,
13 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 Peace do pursue with all and holiness, which without no [one] will behold the Lord;
15 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 lest [there be] any fornicator or profane person as Esau, who for meal one sold the birthright (of himself. *N(k)O*)
17 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 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 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 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 And thus fearful was the [thing] appearing [that] Moses said; Greatly afraid I am and trembling;
22 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 Also for the God of us [is] a fire consuming.
