Hebrews 12:1-2 (English Standard Version)

Hebrews 12

Jesus, Founder and Perfecter of Our Faith

 ¹Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and^(A) sin which clings so closely, and^(B) let us run^(C) with endurance the race that is^(D) set before us, ²looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith,^(E) who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising^(F) the shame, and^(G) is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
