Heb Hebrews, chapter Epistle to the Hebrews, chapter 12
And therefore we also having so great a cloud of witnesses over our head, laying aside every weight and sin which surrounds us, let us run by patience to the fight proposed to us: 1Pe 2:1; Rom 6:12; Eph 4:22; Col 3:8Looking on Jesus, the author and finisher of faith, who having joy set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and now sitteth on the right hand of the throne of God. Luk 23:46; Php 2:8For think diligently upon him that endured such opposition from sinners against himself; that you be not wearied, fainting in your minds. Luk 2:34; Act 28:22; Gal 6:9For you have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin: 1Co 10:13And you have forgotten the consolation, which speaketh to you, as unto children, saying: My son, neglect not the discipline of the Lord; neither be thou wearied whilst thou art rebuked by him. Rev 3:19For whom the Lord loveth, he chastiseth; and he scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. Pro 3:11; Job 5:17; Psa 93:12Persevere under discipline. God dealeth with you as with his sons; for what son is there, whom the father doth not correct? But if you be without chastisement, whereof all are made partakers, then are you bastards, and not sons. Moreover we have had fathers of our flesh, for instructors, and we reverenced them: shall we not much more obey the Father of spirits, and live? Num 16:22; Job 12:10; Ecc 12:7; Zec 12:1And they indeed for a few days, according to their own pleasure, instructed us: but he, for our profit, that we might receive his sanctification. Mat 7:11; Tit 2:12Now all chastisement for the present indeed seemeth not to bring with it joy, but sorrow: but afterwards it will yield, to them that are exercised by it, the most peaceable fruit of justice. Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, Isa 35:3And make straight steps with your feet: that no one, halting, may go out of the way; but rather be healed. Follow peace with all men, and holiness: without which no man shall see God. Rom 12:18; 2Co 7:1; 1Th 4:3Looking diligently, lest any man be wanting to the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up do hinder, and by it many be defiled. Deu 29:18; Gal 5:9; 2Ti 2:17Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau; who for one mess, sold his first birthright. Gen 25:33; 1Co 6:15For know ye that afterwards, when he desired to inherit the benediction, he was rejected; for he found no place of repentance, although with tears he had sought it. Gen 27:34For you are not come to a mountain that might be touched, and a burning fire, and a whirlwind, and darkness, and storm, Exo 19:12And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words, which they that heard excused themselves, that the word might not be spoken to them: Exo 20:19For they did not endure that which was said: And if so much as a beast shall touch the mount, it shall be stoned. Exo 19:13And so terrible was that which was seen, Moses said: I am frighted, and tremble. Deu 33:2; Psa 67:18But you are come to mount Sion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to the company of many thousands of angels, Gal 4:26; Rev 3:12And to the church of the firstborn, who are written in the heavens, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of the just made perfect, Jer 31:9; Luk 10:20And to Jesus the mediator of the new testament, and to the sprinkling of blood which speaketh better than that of Abel. Gen 4:10; 1Ti 2:5See that you refuse him not that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke upon the earth, much more shall not we, that turn away from him that speaketh to us from heaven. Heb 1:2; Heb 2:1; Heb 3:17Whose voice then moved the earth; but now he promiseth, saying: Yet once more, and I will move not only the earth, but heaven also. Hag 2:7; Exo 19:18And in that he saith, Yet once more, he signifieth the translation of the moveable things as made, that those things may remain which are immoveable. Psa 101:27; Mat 24:35Therefore receiving an immoveable kingdom, we have grace; whereby let us serve, pleasing God, with fear and reverence. Luk 1:33For our God is a consuming fire.Deu 4:24; Num 11:1; Psa 49:3; Dan 7:9
