Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
KJV
King James Version
Therefore,
we also having
so great a cloud of witnesses set
around
us
, every weight having
put
off
, and the closely
besetting
sin, through
endurance
may
we
run the contest
that is set before us,
Wherefore
seeing
we also are
compassed
about
with
so great a cloud of witnesses, let
us
lay
aside
every weight, and the sin which
doth
so
easily
beset
us
, and
let
us
run with
patience
the race
that is set before us,
looking to
the author and perfecter
of faith --
Jesus,
who ,
over-against
the joy set before him --
did
endure
a
cross, shame having
despised
, on
the right hand also
of the throne of God did
sit
down;
Looking unto
Jesus
the author and finisher
of our
faith ;
who for
the joy that
was
set before him endured
the
cross, despising
the
shame, and
is
set
down
at
the right hand of the throne of God .
for consider again
him who
endured such gainsaying
from
the
sinners to
himself, that
ye may
not
be wearied in your souls
--
being
faint
.
For consider him that
endured such contradiction
of
sinners against
himself, lest
ye be wearied and
faint
in your minds
.
Not yet unto blood did
ye
resist
--
with
the
sin
striving ;
Ye
have
not yet resisted
unto blood ,
striving against
sin.
and ye have forgotten the exhortation that
doth
speak
fully
with
you as with
sons
, `
My son, be
not despising
chastening of the Lord, nor be
faint ,
being
reproved
by
Him ,
And ye have forgotten the exhortation which
speaketh
unto
you as unto
children
, My son, despise
not thou
the
chastening of the Lord, nor faint when
thou
art
rebuked
of
him :
for whom the Lord doth
love
He doth
chasten
, and He
scourgeth every son whom He receiveth ;'
For whom the Lord loveth
he chasteneth
, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth .
if chastening
ye endure, as
to
sons
God beareth
Himself
to
you ,
for who
is
a
son whom a
father doth
not chasten
?
If ye endure chastening
, God dealeth
with
you as
with
sons;
for what
son is
he
whom the
father chasteneth
not?
and
if ye are
apart
from
chastening
, of
which
all have
become
partakers, then bastards
are ye, and not sons.
But
if ye be
without
chastisement
, whereof
all are
partakers, then are ye bastards
, and not sons.
Then,
indeed,
fathers of our flesh we
have
had,
chastising
`
us '
, and we were
reverencing
`
them ';
shall we not much rather be subject
to
the Father of the
spirits, and live?
Furthermore
we
have
had
fathers of our flesh which
corrected
us, and we gave
them reverence:
shall we not much rather be in
subjection
unto
the Father of spirits, and live?
for they ,
indeed,
for a few days ,
according
to
what
seemed
good
to
them,
were
chastening,
but He for profit, to
be partakers of His separation;
For they verily
for a few days chastened
us
after
their
own
pleasure;
but he for our
profit, that
we
might
be partakers of his holiness.
and
all
chastening for the present ,
indeed,
doth
not
seem
to be of
joy
, but of
sorrow,
yet
afterward the peaceable fruit of righteousness to
those
exercised through
it
--
it
doth
yield
.
Now
no
chastening for the present seemeth
to be joyous
, but grievous:
nevertheless
afterward it
yieldeth
the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto
them
which
are
exercised thereby
.
Wherefore ,
the hanging-down
hands and the loosened
knees set
ye
up
;
Wherefore lift
up
the hands which
hang
down,
and the feeble
knees;
and straight paths make
for your feet, that
that which is lame may
not
be turned aside,
but rather be healed ;
And make
straight paths for your feet, lest
that which is lame be turned out
of
the
way;
but let
it
rather be healed .
peace pursue
with all, and the
separation
, apart
from
which no one
shall see the Lord ,
Follow
peace with all men
, and holiness
, without
which no man
shall see the Lord :
looking diligently over
lest any one
be
failing
of the grace of God ,
lest any root of bitterness springing up may
give
trouble, and through
this
many may
be defiled;
Looking diligently lest any man
fail
of the grace of God ;
lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you
, and thereby
many be defiled;
lest any
one
be a
fornicator, or a
profane person, as Esau, who in
exchange
for one morsel of food
did
sell
his birthright ,
Lest there
be any
fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat
sold
his birthright .
for ye know that also
afterwards
, wishing
to
inherit
the blessing, he was disapproved
of,
for a
place
of
reformation
he found not
, though with
tears
having
sought it.
For ye know how
that afterward
, when
he
would
have
inherited
the blessing, he was rejected:
for he found no
place
of
repentance
, though he
sought it carefully
with
tears
.
For ye came
not near
to
the mount touched and scorched
with fire, and
to
blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
For ye are
not come
unto
the mount that
might
be
touched ,
and that
burned
with fire, nor
unto
blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
and a
sound of a trumpet, and a
voice of sayings,
which those
having
heard did
entreat
that a
word might
not be added
to them ,
And the
sound of a trumpet, and the
voice of words;
which voice
they
that
heard intreated
that the
word should
not be spoken
to them any
more:
for they were
not bearing
that which is
commanded, `
And if a beast may
touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or with
an
arrow
shot
through ,'
(
For they could
not endure
that which was
commanded, And if so
much
as
a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust
through with
a
dart:
and ,
(
so terrible was the sight, )
Moses said, `
I am
fearful
exceedingly ,
and trembling.'
And so terrible was the sight, that
Moses said, I exceedingly fear
and quake:)
But ,
ye came
to
Mount Zion
, and to
a
city of the living God, to
the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads
of messengers
,
But ye are
come
unto
mount Sion
, and unto
the
city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an
innumerable
company
of angels
,
to the company
and
assembly of the first-born
in heaven enrolled
, and to God the judge of all, and to spirits of righteous
men made perfect,
To the general
assembly and
church
of the firstborn,
which
are
written
in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the
spirits of just
men made perfect,
and to a
mediator of a
new covenant --
Jesus
, and to blood of sprinkling, speaking
better things than
that of Abel !
And to Jesus
the
mediator of the
new covenant, and to the
blood of sprinkling, that
speaketh
better things that that
of Abel .
See ,
may
ye not
refuse him who
is
speaking,
for if those
did
not escape
who refused him who
upon
earth was
divinely
speaking
--
much less
we who
do
turn away from him who
`
speaketh '
from heaven ,
See that
ye refuse not
him that
speaketh.
For if they
escaped
not who refused him that
spake
on
earth ,
much more
shall
not
we escape,
if
we
turn away from him that
speaketh from heaven :
whose voice the earth shook
then,
and
now hath
he promised, saying, `
Yet once --
I shake not only
the earth, but also the
heaven ;'
Whose voice then
shook
the earth :
but
now he hath
promised, saying, Yet once more
I shake not the earth only
, but also heaven .
and this --
`
Yet once '
--
doth
make
evident
the removal
of the
things shaken, as of things having
been
made, that the
things not
shaken may remain ;
And this word,
Yet once more,
signifieth
the removing
of those
things that
are
shaken, as of things that
are
made, that those
things which
cannot
be
shaken may remain .
wherefore ,
a kingdom that
cannot be shaken
receiving
, may
we
have grace, through
which
we may serve God well-pleasingly,
with reverence and religious
fear ;
Wherefore we
receiving
a kingdom which
cannot be moved
, let
us
have grace, whereby
we may serve God acceptably
with reverence and godly
fear :
for also
our God `
is '
a consuming fire.
For our God is a consuming fire.
