< Hebrews 12 >
1 therefore and me so great to have/be to surround me cloud witness impediment to put aside all and the/this/who thwarting sin through/because of perseverance to run the/this/who to set before me fight
Therefore, surrounded as we are by such a vast cloud of witnesses, let us fling aside every encumbrance and the sin that so readily entangles our feet. And let us run with patient endurance the race that lies before us,
2 to consider toward the/this/who the/this/who faith founder and finisher Jesus which for the/this/who to set before it/s/he joy to remain/endure cross shame to despise in/on/among right and/both the/this/who throne the/this/who God (to seat *N(k)O*)
simply fixing our gaze upon Jesus, our Prince Leader in the faith, who will also award us the prize. He, for the sake of the joy which lay before Him, patiently endured the cross, looking with contempt upon its shame, and afterwards seated Himself-- where He still sits--at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 to consider for the/this/who such as this to remain/endure by/under: by the/this/who sinful toward (themself *N(k)(O)*) dispute in order that/to not be weary/sick: weak the/this/who soul you to faint
Therefore, if you would escape becoming weary and faint-hearted, compare your own sufferings with those of Him who endured such hostility directed against Him by sinners.
4 not yet until blood to resist to/with the/this/who sin to struggle
In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted so as to endanger your lives;
5 and to forget the/this/who encouragement who/which you as/when son to dispute son me not to despise discipline lord: God nor to faint by/under: by it/s/he to rebuke
and you have quite forgotten the encouraging words which are addressed to you as sons, and which say, "My son, do not think lightly of the Lord's discipline, and do not faint when He corrects you;
6 which for to love lord: God to instruct to whip then all son which to welcome
for those whom the Lord loves He disciplines: and He scourges every son whom He acknowledges."
7 toward discipline to remain/endure as/when son you to bring to the/this/who God which? for (to be *k*) son which no to instruct father
The sufferings that you are enduring are for your discipline. God is dealing with you as sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?
8 if then without to be discipline which partaker to be all therefore illegitimate and no son to be
And if you are left without discipline, of which every true son has had a share, that shows that you are bastards, and not true sons.
9 then the/this/who on the other hand the/this/who flesh me father to have/be instructor and to cause shame no (much *N(k)O*) (then *n*) more to subject the/this/who father the/this/who spirit/breath: spirit and to live
Besides this, our earthly fathers used to discipline us and we treated them with respect, and shall we not be still more submissive to the Father of our spirits, and live?
10 the/this/who on the other hand for to/with little/few day according to the/this/who to think it/s/he to instruct the/this/who then upon/to/against the/this/who be profitable toward the/this/who to partake the/this/who holiness it/s/he
It is true that they disciplined us for a few years according as they thought fit; but He does it for our certain good, in order that we may become sharers in His own holy character.
11 all (then *NK(o)*) discipline to/with on the other hand the/this/who be present no to think joy to exist but grief later then fruit peaceful the/this/who through/because of it/s/he to train to pay righteousness
Now, at the time, discipline seems to be a matter not for joy, but for grief; yet it afterwards yields to those who have passed through its training a result full of peace--namely, righteousness.
12 therefore the/this/who to neglect hand and the/this/who to paralyze a knee to restore
Therefore strengthen the drooping hands and paralysed knees,
13 and track upright (to do/make: do *N(k)O*) the/this/who foot you in order that/to not the/this/who lame to turn/wander away to heal then more: rather
and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put entirely out of joint
14 peace to pursue with/after all and the/this/who holiness which without none to appear the/this/who lord: God
but may rather be restored. Persistently strive for peace with all men, and for that growth in holiness apart from which no one will see the Lord.
15 to oversee/care for not one to lack away from the/this/who grace the/this/who God not one root bitterness above to grow to trouble and through/because of (it/s/he *N(k)O*) to stain (the/this/who *o*) much
Be carefully on your guard lest there be any one who falls back from the grace of God; lest any root bearing bitter fruit spring up and cause trouble among you, and through it the whole brotherhood be defiled;
16 not one sexual sinner or profane as/when Esau which for eating one to pay the/this/who birthright (themself *N(k)O*)
lest there be a fornicator, or an ungodly person like Esau, who, in return for a single meal, parted with the birthright which belonged to him.
17 to know for that/since: that and afterward to will/desire to inherit the/this/who praise to reject repentance for place no to find/meet although with/after teardrop to seek out it/s/he
For you know that even afterwards, when he wished to secure the blessing, he was rejected; for he found no opportunity for undoing what he had done, though he sought the blessing earnestly with tears.
18 no for to come near/agree to touch (mountain *K*) and to kindle/burn fire and darkness and (darkness *N(k)O*) and storm
For you have not come to a material object all ablaze with fire, and to gloom and darkness and storm and trumpet-blast and the sound of words--
19 and trumpet sound and voice/sound: voice declaration which the/this/who to hear to refuse/excuse not to add (to) it/s/he word
a sound of such a kind that those who heard it entreated that no more should be added.
20 no to bear/lead for the/this/who to give orders and if wild animal to touch the/this/who mountain to stone (or arrow to shoot down *K*)
For they could not endure the order which had been given, "Even a wild beast, if it touches the mountain, shall be stoned to death;"
21 and thus(-ly) fearful to be the/this/who to make visible Moses to say terrified to be and trembling
and so terrible was the scene that Moses said, "I tremble with fear."
22 but to come near/agree Zion mountain and city God to live Jerusalem heavenly and myriad angel
On the contrary you have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the ever-living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to countless hosts of angels,
23 assembly and assembly firstborn to register in/on/among heaven and judge God all and spirit/breath: spirit just to perfect
to the great festal gathering and Church of the first-born, whose names are recorded in Heaven, and to a Judge who is God of all, and to the spirits of righteous men made perfect,
24 and covenant new mediator Jesus and blood sprinkling (greater *N(K)O*) to speak from/with/beside the/this/who Abel
and to Jesus the negotiator of a new Covenant, and to the sprinkled blood which speaks in more gracious tones than that of Abel.
25 to see not to refuse/excuse the/this/who to speak if for that no (to escape *N(k)O*) upon/to/against (the/this/who *k*) earth: planet to refuse/excuse the/this/who to announce (much *N(k)O*) more me the/this/who the/this/who away from heaven to turn away
Be careful not to refuse to listen to Him who is speaking to you. For if they of old did not escape unpunished when they refused to listen to him who spoke on earth, much less shall we escape who turn a deaf ear to Him who now speaks from Heaven.
26 which the/this/who voice/sound: voice the/this/who earth: planet to shake then now then to profess to say still once I/we (to shake *N(k)O*) no alone the/this/who earth: planet but and the/this/who heaven
His voice then shook the earth, but now we have His promise, "Yet again I will, once for all, cause not only the earth to tremble, but Heaven also."
27 the/this/who then still once to make clear the/this/who the/this/who to shake removal/change as/when to do/make: do in order that/to to stay the/this/who not to shake
Here the words "Yet again, once for all" denote the removal of the things which can be shaken--created things--in order that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 therefore kingdom unshakable to take to have/be grace through/because of which (to minister *NK(o)*) acceptably the/this/who God with/after reverence and (fear *N(k)O*)
Therefore, receiving, as we now do, a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us cherish thankfulness so that we may ever offer to God an acceptable service, with godly reverence and awe.
29 and for the/this/who God me fire to consume
For our God is also a consuming fire.
