WEB·Hebrews 12

¹Therefore let’s also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with perseverance the race that is set before us,

KJVWherefore^G5105 seeing we also^G2532 are^G2192^(G5723) compassed about^G4029^(G5740)^G2254 with so great^G5118 a cloud^G3509 of witnesses^G3144, let^G659 us^G2249 lay aside^G659^(G5642) every^G3956 weight^G3591, and^G2532 the sin^G266 which doth so easily beset^G2139 us, and let us run^G5143^(G5725) with^G1223 patience^G5281 the race^G73 that is set before^G4295^(G5740) us^G2254,

² looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

KJVLooking^G872^(G5723) unto^G1519 Jesus^G2424 the author^G747 and^G2532 finisher^G5051 of our faith^G4102; who^G3739 for^G473 the joy^G5479 that was set before^G4295^(G5740) him^G846 endured^G5278^(G5656) the cross^G4716, despising^G2706^(G5660) the shame^G152, and^G5037 is set down^G2523^(G5656) at^G1722 the right hand^G1188 of the throne^G2362 of God^G2316.

³ For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.

KJVFor^G1063 consider^G357^(G5663) him that endured^G5278^(G5761) such^G5108 contradiction^G485 of^G5259 sinners^G268 against^G1519 himself^G846, lest^G3363 ye be wearied^G2577^(G5632) and faint^G1590^(G5746) in your^G5216 minds^G5590.

⁴ You have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin.

KJVYe have^G478 not yet^G3768 resisted^G478^(G5627) unto^G3360 blood^G129, striving^G464^(G5740) against^G4314 sin^G266.

⁵ You have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, “My son, don’t take lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him;

KJVAnd^G2532 ye have forgotten^G1585^(G5769) the exhortation^G3874 which^G3748 speaketh^G1256^(G5736) unto you^G5213 as^G5613 unto children^G5207, My^G3450 son^G5207, despise^G3643 not^G3361 thou^G3643^(G5720) the chastening^G3809 of the Lord^G2962, nor^G3366 faint^G1590^(G5744) when thou art rebuked^G1651^(G5746) of^G5259 him^G846:

⁶ for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines, and chastises every son whom he receives.”

KJVFor^G1063 whom^G3739 the Lord^G2962 loveth^G25^(G5719) he chasteneth^G3811^(G5719), and^G1161 scourgeth^G3146^(G5719) every^G3956 son^G5207 whom^G3739 he receiveth^G3858^(G5736).

⁷ It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn’t discipline?

KJVIf^G1487 ye endure^G5278^(G5719) chastening^G3809, God^G2316 dealeth^G4374^(G5743) with you^G5213 as^G5613 with sons^G5207; for^G1063 what^G5101 son^G5207 is he^G2076^(G5748) whom^G3739 the father^G3962 chasteneth^G3811^(G5719) not^G3756?

⁸ But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then you are illegitimate, and not children.

KJVBut^G1161 if^G1487 ye be^G2075^(G5748) without^G5565 chastisement^G3809, whereof^G3739 all^G3956 are^G1096^(G5754) partakers^G3353, then^G686 are ye^G2075^(G5748) bastards^G3541, and^G2532 not^G3756 sons^G5207.

⁹ Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?

KJVFurthermore^G1534^G3303 we have had^G2192^(G5707) fathers^G3962 of our^G2257 flesh^G4561 which corrected^G3810 us, and^G2532 we gave them reverence^G1788^(G5710): shall we^G5293 not^G3756 much^G4183 rather^G3123 be in subjection^G5293^(G5691) unto the Father^G3962 of spirits^G4151, and^G2532 live^G2198^(G5692)?

¹⁰ For they indeed for a few days disciplined us as seemed good to them, but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.

KJVFor^G1063 they verily^G3303 for^G4314 a few^G3641 days^G2250 chastened^G3811^(G5707) us after^G2596 their own^G846 pleasure^G1380^(G5723); but^G1161 he for^G1909 our profit^G4851^(G5723), that^G1519 we might be partakers^G3335^(G5629) of his^G846 holiness^G41.

¹¹ All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

KJVNow^G1161 no^G3956^G3756 chastening^G3809 for^G4314^G3303 the present^G3918^(G5752) seemeth^G1380^(G5719) to be^G1511^(G5750) joyous^G5479, but^G235 grievous^G3077: nevertheless^G1161 afterward^G5305 it yieldeth^G591^(G5719) the peaceable^G1516 fruit^G2590 of righteousness^G1343 unto them which are exercised^G1128^(G5772) thereby^G1223^G846.

¹² Therefore lift up the hands that hang down and the feeble knees,

KJVWherefore^G1352 lift up^G461^(G5657) the hands^G5495 which hang down^G3935^(G5772), and^G2532 the feeble^G3886^(G5772) knees^G1119;

¹³ and make straight paths for your feet, so what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.

KJVAnd^G2532 make^G4160^(G5657) straight^G3717 paths^G5163 for your^G5216 feet^G4228, lest that^G3363 which is lame^G5560 be turned out of the way^G1624^(G5652); but^G1161 let it^G2390 rather^G3123 be healed^G2390^(G5686).

¹⁴ Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord,

KJVFollow^G1377^(G5720) peace^G1515 with^G3326 all^G3956 men, and^G2532 holiness^G38, without^G5565 which^G3739 no man^G3762 shall see^G3700^(G5695) the Lord^G2962:

¹⁵ looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you and many be defiled by it,

KJVLooking diligently^G1983^(G5723) lest^G3361 any man^G5100 fail^G5302^(G5723) of^G575 the grace^G5485 of God^G2316; lest^G3361 any^G5100 root^G4491 of bitterness^G4088 springing^G5453^(G5723) up^G507 trouble^G1776^(G5725) you, and^G2532 thereby^G1223^G5026 many^G4183 be defiled^G3392^(G5686);

¹⁶ lest there be any sexually immoral person or profane person, like Esau, who sold his birthright for one meal.

KJVLest^G3361 there be any^G5100 fornicator^G4205, or^G2228 profane person^G952, as^G5613 Esau^G2269, who^G3739 for^G473 one^G3391 morsel of meat^G1035 sold^G591^(G5639) his^G846 birthright^G4415.

¹⁷ For you know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for a change of mind though he sought it diligently with tears.

KJVFor^G1063 ye know^G2467^(G5759) how^G3754 that afterward^G2532^G3347, when he would^G2309^(G5723) have inherited^G2816^(G5658) the blessing^G2129, he was rejected^G593^(G5681): for^G1063 he found^G2147^(G5627) no^G3756 place^G5117 of repentance^G3341, though^G2539 he sought^G1567 it^G846 carefully^G1567^(G5660) with^G3326 tears^G1144.

¹⁸ For you have not come to a mountain that might be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness, darkness, storm,

KJVFor^G1063 ye are^G4334 not^G3756 come^G4334^(G5754) unto the mount^G3735 that might be touched^G5584^(G5746), and^G2532 that burned^G2545^(G5772) with fire^G4442, nor^G2532 unto blackness^G1105, and^G2532 darkness^G4655, and^G2532 tempest^G2366,

¹⁹ the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which those who heard it begged that not one more word should be spoken to them,

KJVAnd^G2532 the sound^G2279 of a trumpet^G4536, and^G2532 the voice^G5456 of words^G4487; which^G3739 voice they that heard^G191^(G5660) intreated^G3868^(G5662) that the word^G3056 should^G4369 not^G3361 be spoken^G4369^(G5683) to them^G846 any more^G3361:

²⁰ for they could not stand that which was commanded, “If even an animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned”.

KJV(For^G1063 they could^G5342 not^G3756 endure^G5342^(G5707) that which was commanded^G1291^(G5746), And if so much as^G2579 a beast^G2342 touch^G2345^(G5632) the mountain^G3735, it shall be stoned^G3036^(G5701), or^G2228 thrust through^G2700^(G5701) with a dart^G1002:

²¹ So fearful was the appearance that Moses said, “I am terrified and trembling.”

KJVAnd^G2532 so^G3779 terrible^G5398 was^G2258^(G5713) the sight^G5324^(G5746), that Moses^G3475 said^G2036^(G5627), I exceedingly fear^G1630^G1510^(G5748) and^G2532 quake^G1790:)

²² But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable multitudes of angels,

KJVBut^G235 ye are come^G4334^(G5754) unto mount^G3735 Sion^G4622, and^G2532 unto the city^G4172 of the living^G2198^(G5723) God^G2316, the heavenly^G2032 Jerusalem^G2419, and^G2532 to an innumerable company^G3461 of angels^G32,

²³ to the festal gathering and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,

KJVTo the general assembly^G3831 and^G2532 church^G1577 of the firstborn^G4416, which are written^G583^(G5772) in^G1722 heaven^G3772, and^G2532 to God^G2316 the Judge^G2923 of all^G3956, and^G2532 to the spirits^G4151 of just men^G1342 made perfect^G5048^(G5772),

²⁴ to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than that of Abel.

KJVAnd^G2532 to Jesus^G2424 the mediator^G3316 of the new^G3501 covenant^G1242, and^G2532 to the blood^G129 of sprinkling^G4473, that speaketh^G2980^(G5723) better things^G2909 than^G3844 that of Abel^G6.

²⁵ See that you don’t refuse him who speaks. For if they didn’t escape when they refused him who warned on the earth, how much more will we not escape who turn away from him who warns from heaven,

KJVSee^G991^(G5720) that ye refuse^G3868^(G5667) not^G3361 him that speaketh^G2980^(G5723). For^G1063 if^G1487 they^G1565 escaped^G5343^(G5627) not^G3756 who refused him^G3868^(G5666) that spake^G5537^(G5723) on^G1909 earth^G1093, much^G4183 more^G3123 shall not we^G2249 escape, if we turn away from him^G654^(G5734) that speaketh from^G575 heaven^G3772:

²⁶ whose voice shook the earth then, but now he has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heavens.”

KJVWhose^G3739 voice^G5456 then^G5119 shook^G4531^(G5656) the earth^G1093: but^G1161 now^G3568 he hath promised^G1861^(G5766), saying^G3004^(G5723), Yet^G2089 once more^G530 I^G1473 shake^G4579^(G5719) not^G3756 the earth^G1093 only^G3440, but^G235 also^G2532 heaven^G3772.

²⁷ This phrase, “Yet once more” signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain.

KJVAnd^G1161 this word, Yet^G2089 once more^G530, signifieth^G1213^(G5719) the removing^G3331 of those things that are shaken^G4531^(G5746), as^G5613 of things that are made^G4160^(G5772), that^G2443 those things which cannot^G3361 be shaken^G4531^(G5746) may remain^G3306^(G5661).

²⁸ Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can’t be shaken, let’s have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe,

KJVWherefore^G1352 we receiving^G3880^(G5723) a kingdom^G932 which cannot be moved^G761, let us have^G2192^(G5725) grace^G5485, whereby^G1223^G3739 we may serve^G3000^(G5725) God^G2316 acceptably^G2102 with^G3326 reverence^G127 and^G2532 godly fear^G2124:

²⁹ for our God is a consuming fire.

KJVFor^G2532^G1063 our^G2257 God^G2316 is a consuming^G2654^(G5723) fire^G4442.

WEB·Hebrews 11

¹Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen.

KJVNow^G1161 faith^G4102 is^G2076^(G5748) the substance^G5287 of things hoped for^G1679^(G5746), the evidence^G1650 of things^G4229 not^G3756 seen^G991^(G5746).

² For by this, the elders obtained approval.

KJVFor^G1063 by^G1722 it^G5026 the elders^G4245 obtained a good report^G3140^(G5681).

³ By faith we understand that the universe has been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen has not been made out of things which are visible.

KJVThrough faith^G4102 we understand^G3539^(G5719) that the worlds^G165 were framed^G2675^(G5771) by the word^G4487 of God^G2316, so^G1519 that things which^G3588 are seen^G991^(G5746) were^G1096 not^G3361 made^G1096^(G5755) of^G1537 things which do appear^G5316^(G5730).

⁴ By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he had testimony given to him that he was righteous, God testifying with respect to his gifts; and through it he, being dead, still speaks.

KJVBy faith^G4102 Abel^G6 offered^G4374^(G5656) unto God^G2316 a more excellent^G4119 sacrifice^G2378 than^G3844 Cain^G2535, by^G1223 which^G3739 he obtained witness^G3140^(G5681) that he was^G1511^(G5750) righteous^G1342, God^G2316 testifying^G3140^(G5723) of^G1909 his^G846 gifts^G1435: and^G2532 by^G1223 it^G846 he being dead^G599^(G5631) yet^G2089 speaketh^G2980^(G5731)^(G5625)^G2980^(G5719).

⁵ By faith Enoch was taken away, so that he wouldn’t see death, and he was not found, because God translated him. For he has had testimony given to him that before his translation he had been well pleasing to God.

KJVBy faith^G4102 Enoch^G1802 was translated^G3346^(G5681) that he should^G1492 not^G3361 see^G1492^(G5629) death^G2288; and^G2532 was^G2147 not^G3756 found^G2147^(G5712), because^G1360 God^G2316 had translated^G3346^(G5656) him^G846: for^G1063 before^G4253 his^G846 translation^G3331 he had this testimony^G3140^(G5769), that he pleased^G2100^(G5760) God^G2316.

⁶ Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.

KJVBut^G1161 without^G5565 faith^G4102 it is impossible^G102 to please^G2100^(G5658) him: for^G1063 he that cometh^G4334^(G5740) to God^G2316 must^G1163^(G5748) believe^G4100^(G5658) that^G3754 he is^G2076^(G5748), and^G2532 that he is^G1096^(G5736) a rewarder^G3406 of them that diligently seek^G1567^(G5723) him^G846.

⁷ By faith Noah, being warned about things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared a ship for the saving of his house, through which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

KJVBy faith^G4102 Noah^G3575, being warned of God^G5537^(G5685) of^G4012 things not^G3369 seen^G991^(G5746) as yet^G3369, moved with fear^G2125^(G5685), prepared^G2680^(G5656) an ark^G2787 to^G1519 the saving^G4991 of his^G846 house^G3624; by^G1223 the which^G3739 he condemned^G2632^(G5656) the world^G2889, and^G2532 became^G1096^(G5633) heir^G2818 of the righteousness^G1343 which is by^G2596 faith^G4102.

⁸ By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to the place which he was to receive for an inheritance. He went out, not knowing where he went.

KJVBy faith^G4102 Abraham^G11, when he was called^G2564^(G5746) to go out^G1831^(G5629) into^G1519 a place^G5117 which^G3739 he should after^G3195^(G5707) receive^G2983^(G5721) for^G1519 an inheritance^G2817, obeyed^G5219^(G5656); and^G2532 he went out^G1831^(G5627), not^G3361 knowing^G1987^(G5740) whither^G4226 he went^G2064^(G5736).

⁹ By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a land not his own, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise.

KJVBy faith^G4102 he sojourned^G3939^(G5656) in^G1519 the land^G1093 of promise^G1860, as^G5613 in a strange country^G245, dwelling^G2730^(G5660) in^G1722 tabernacles^G4633 with^G3326 Isaac^G2464 and^G2532 Jacob^G2384, the heirs with him^G4789 of the same^G846 promise^G1860:

¹⁰ For he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

KJVFor^G1063 he looked for^G1551^(G5711) a city^G4172 which hath^G2192^(G5723) foundations^G2310, whose^G3739 builder^G5079 and^G2532 maker^G1217 is God^G2316.

¹¹ By faith even Sarah herself received power to conceive, and she bore a child when she was past age, since she counted him faithful who had promised.

KJVThrough faith^G4102 also^G2532 Sara^G4564 herself^G846 received^G2983^(G5627) strength^G1411 to^G1519 conceive^G2602 seed^G4690, and^G2532 was delivered of a child^G5088^(G5627) when she was past^G3844 age^G2540^G2244, because^G1893 she judged^G2233^(G5662) him faithful^G4103 who had promised^G1861^(G5666).

¹² Therefore as many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as innumerable as the sand which is by the sea shore, were fathered by one man, and him as good as dead.

KJVTherefore^G1352 sprang there^G1080^(G5681) even^G2532 of^G575 one^G1520, and^G2532 him^G5023 as good as dead^G3499^(G5772), so many as^G2531 the stars^G798 of the sky^G3772 in multitude^G4128, and^G2532 as^G5616 the sand^G285 which^G3588 is by^G3844 the sea^G2281 shore^G5491 innumerable^G382.

¹³ These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and embraced them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

KJVThese^G3778 all^G3956 died^G599^(G5627) in^G2596 faith^G4102, not^G3361 having received^G2983^(G5631) the promises^G1860, but^G235 having seen^G1492^(G5631) them^G846 afar off^G4207, and^G2532 were persuaded of^G3982^(G5685) them, and^G2532 embraced^G782^(G5666) them, and^G2532 confessed^G3670^(G5660) that^G3754 they were^G1526^(G5748) strangers^G3581 and^G2532 pilgrims^G3927 on^G1909 the earth^G1093.

¹⁴ For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.

KJVFor^G1063 they that say^G3004^(G5723) such things^G5108 declare plainly^G1718^(G5719) that^G3754 they seek^G1934^(G5719) a country^G3968.

¹⁵ If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return.
