The Race of Faith

¹Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, ⚓let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and ⚓let us run ⚓with endurance the race that is set before us, ²looking 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 ⚓has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

The Discipline of God

³⚓For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, ⚓lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls. ⁴⚓You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin. ⁵And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons:
⚓“My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord,
Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him;
⁶For ⚓whom the Lord loves He chastens,
And scourges every son whom He receives.”
⁷⚓If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what ⚓son is there whom a father does not chasten? ⁸But if you are without chastening, ⚓of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons. ⁹Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to ⚓the Father of spirits and live? ¹⁰For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, ⚓that we may be partakers of His holiness. ¹¹Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields ⚓the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

Renew Your Spiritual Vitality

¹²Therefore ⚓strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, ¹³and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
¹⁴⚓Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, ⚓without which no one will see the Lord: ¹⁵looking carefully lest anyone ⚓fall short of the grace of God; lest any ⚓root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled; ¹⁶lest there be any ⚓fornicator or profane person like Esau, ⚓who for one morsel of food sold his birthright. ¹⁷For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was ⚓rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.

The Glorious Company

¹⁸For you have not come to ⚓the mountain that may be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness and darkness and tempest, ¹⁹and the sound of a trumpet and the voice of words, so that those who heard it⚓begged that the word should not be spoken to them anymore. ²⁰(For they could not endure what was commanded: ⚓“And if so much as a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned or shot with an arrow.” ²¹And so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, ⚓“I am exceedingly afraid and trembling.”)
²²But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, ²³to the general assembly and church of ⚓the firstborn ⚓who are registered in heaven, to God ⚓the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men ⚓made perfect, ²⁴to Jesus ⚓the Mediator of the new covenant, and to ⚓the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things ⚓than that of Abel.

Hear the Heavenly Voice

²⁵See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For ⚓if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, ²⁶whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, ⚓“Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven.” ²⁷Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the ⚓removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.
²⁸Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may ⚓serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. ²⁹For ⚓our God is a consuming fire.
