< Hebrews 12 >

1 Wherfore let vs also (seynge that we are copased with so great a multitude of witnesses) laye awaye all that presseth doune and the synne that hageth on and let vs rune with paciece vnto the battayle yt is set before vs
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 lokynge vnto Iesus the auctor and fynnyssher of oure fayth which for the ioye that was set before him abode the crosse and despysed the shame and is set doune on the right honde of ye trone 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 therfore how that he endured suche speakinge agaynst him of synners lest ye shuld be weried and faynte in youre myndes.
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 For ye have not yet resisted vnto bloud sheddinge stryvinge agaynst synne.
Not yet unto blood have you resisted against sin struggling
5 And ye have forgotten the consolacion which speaketh vnto you as vnto chyldren: My sonne despyse not the chastenynge of the Lorde nether faynt when thou arte rebuked of him:
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 whom the Lorde loveth him he chasteneth: yee and he scourgeth every sonne that he receaveth.
Whom for He loves [the] Lord disciplines, He scourges now every son whom He receives.
7 Yf ye endure chastninge God offereth him selfe vnto you as vnto sonnes. What sonne is that whom the father chasteneth not?
As discipline endure, as sons you is treating God; what for (is *k*) son [is there] whom not disciplines [his] father?
8 If ye be not vnder correccio (where of all are part takers) then are ye bastardes and not sonnes.
If however without you are of discipline of which partakers they have become all, then illegitimate children and not sons you are.
9 Moreover seynge we had fathers of oure flesshe which corrected vs and we gave them reverence: shuld we not moche rather be in subieccion vnto the father of spretuall gyftes that we myght 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 And they verely for a feaue dayes nurtred vs after their awne pleasure: but he learneth vs vnto that which is proffitable that we myght receave of his holines.
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 manner chastisynge for the present tyme semeth to be ioyeous but greveous: neverthelesse afterwarde it bryngeth the quyet frute of rightewesnes vnto them which are therin exercysed.
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 Stretch forthe therfore agayne the hondes which were let doune and the weake knees
Therefore the drooped hands and the enfeebled knees do lift up,
13 and se that ye have strayght steppes vnto youre fete lest eny haltinge turne out of ye waye: yee let it rather be 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 Embrace peace with all men and holynes: with out the which no man shall se the Lorde.
Peace do pursue with all and holiness, which without no [one] will behold the Lord;
15 And looke to that no man be destitue of the grace of God and that no rote of bitternes springe vp and trouble and therby many be defiled:
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 and that there be no fornicator or vnclene person as Esau which for one breakfast solde 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 Ye knowe how that afterwarde when he wolde have inherited the blessinge he was put by and he foude no meanes to come therby agayne: no though he desyred it with teares.
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 ye are not come vnto the mounte that can be touched and vnto burninge fyre nor yet to myst and darcknes and tempest of wedder
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 nether vnto the sounde of a trope and the voyce of wordes: which voyce they that hearde it wisshed awaye that the comunicacion shuld not be spoken to them.
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 were not able to abyde that which was spoken. If a beast had touched the mountayne it must have bene stoned or thrust thorowe with a darte:
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 eve so terreble was ye sight which appered. Moses sayde I feare and quake.
And thus fearful was the [thing] appearing [that] Moses said; Greatly afraid I am and trembling;
22 But ye are come vnto the moute Sion and to the citie of the livinge god the celestiall Ierusalem: and to an innumerable sight 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 and vnto the congregacion of ye fyrst borne sonnes which are writte in heven and to God the iudge of all and to the spretes of iust and parfecte men
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 to Iesus the mediator of the newe testament and to the spryncklynge of bloud that speaketh better then the bloud of Abell.
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 Se that ye despise not him yt speaketh. For yf they escaped not which refused him that spake on erth: moche more shall we not escape yf we turne awaye fro him yt speaketh fro heve:
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 voyce the shouke the erth and now declareth sayinge: yet once more will I shake not the erth only but also heven.
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 No dout yt same that he sayth yet once more signifieth the removinge a waye of those thinges which are shaken as of thinges which have ended their course: that the thynges which are not shaken maye remayne.
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 Wherfore if we receave a kyngdom which is not moved we have grace wherby we maye serve god and please him with reverence and godly feare.
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 oure god is a consumynge fyre.
Also for the God of us [is] a fire consuming.
