The Letter to the Hebrews 12

12For that very reason, we also, having so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, having laid aside every weight and the easily entangling sin, let us run with endurance the race that is placed before us, 2looking away to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of the faith, who, for the joy that is placed before him, endured a cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3For consider the one that has endured such opposition by sinners against themselves[fn], so that you might not become weary in your souls, giving up.

4You have not yet resisted to the point of blood, struggling against sin, 5and you have completely forgotten the exhortation that instructs you as sons:

“My son, do not make light of the discipline of the Lord,

nor become weary when being reproved by him;

6For whom the Lord loves, he disciplines,

and he whips every son whom he welcomes.”

7Endure for discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 8But if you are without discipline, of which all men have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not his sons. 9Furthermore, on the one hand, we had the fathers of our flesh as discipliners and we were respectful of them; on the other hand, will we not much more be subjected to the Father of the spirits and live? 10For indeed, they were disciplining us for a few days according to what seems best to them, but he, to benefit us, so that we might share his holiness. 11Now every discipline does not seem to be joy at the present, but pain, but afterward it produces the peaceful fruit of righteousness for the ones having been trained by it. 12Therefore, make straight the drooping hands and the knees that have been paralyzed, 13and make straight paths for your feet, so that the lame might not be dislocated, but rather might be healed.

14Pursue peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord, 15carefully watching that no one is falling short from the grace of God, not any root of bitterness is growing up to cause trouble, and by this many might become defiled, 16not any sexually immoral or profane one such as Esau, who in exchange for one meal sold his own birthright. 17For you know that even afterwards, desiring to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, because he found no place for repentance, even though he sought it with tears.

18For you have not come to what can be touched and to a blazing fire and to darkness and to gloom and to a storm 19and to a sound of a trumpet and to a voice of words of which the ones having heard begged for not a word to be added to them. 20For they could not endure what was ordered: “If even an animal might touch the mountain, it must be stoned.” 21And the thing being made visible was so fearful that Moses said, “I am terrified and trembling.” 22But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels, to the assembly 23and to the church of the firstborn ones, who have been registered in the heavens, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous ones made perfect, 24and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood speaking better than Abel. 25See that you do not refuse the one speaking. For if those did not escape, having refused the one warning them on earth, much less we who are turning away from the one from heaven, 26the voice of whom at that time shook the earth, but now he has promised, saying, “Still once I myself will shake not only the earth, but also the heaven.” 27But this phrase, “Still once” indicates the removal of the things being shaken, that is, of the things created, so that the things not being shaken might remain. 28Therefore, receiving an unshakeable kingdom, let us have gratitude, through which let us serve well-pleasingly to God, with reverence and awe, 29for indeed our God is a consuming fire.


Some ancient manuscripts read against himself.
