希伯来书 12
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
仰望耶稣
12 既然有这么多见证人像云彩一般围绕着我们,我们就要放下一切重担,摆脱容易缠累我们的罪,以坚忍的心奔跑我们前面的赛程, 2 定睛仰望为我们的信心创始成终的耶稣。祂为了摆在前面的喜乐,就轻看羞辱,忍受了十字架的痛苦,如今已坐在上帝宝座的右边。 3 你们要思想忍受罪人如此顶撞的主,免得疲倦灰心。
爱的管教
4 其实你们与罪恶搏斗,还没有抵挡到流血的地步。 5 你们难道忘了那像劝勉儿子一样劝勉你们的话吗?“孩子啊,不可轻视主的管教,被祂责备的时候也不要灰心。 6 因为主管教祂所爱的人,责罚[a]祂收纳的儿子。”
7 你们要忍受管教,上帝对待你们如同对待自己的儿子。哪有儿子不受父亲管教的呢? 8 做子女的都会受管教,如果没人管教你们,那你们就是私生子,不是儿子。 9 再者,我们的生身父亲管教我们,我们尚且敬重他们,何况是万灵之父上帝管教我们,我们岂不更要顺服祂并得到生命吗? 10 我们的生身父亲是按自己以为好的标准暂时管教我们,但上帝是为了我们的益处而管教我们,使我们可以在祂的圣洁上有份。 11 被管教的滋味绝不好受,当时都很痛苦,但事后那些受过管教的人会收获公义和平安的果子。 12 所以,你们要举起下垂的手,挺直发酸的腿, 13 修直脚下的路,使瘸腿的人不致扭伤脚,反得痊愈。
切勿违背上帝
14 你们要尽力与大家和睦相处,并要追求圣洁的生活,因为不圣洁的人不能见主。 15 你们要谨慎,以免有人失去上帝的恩典,长出苦毒的根扰乱你们,玷污众人。 16 要小心,免得有人像以扫那样淫乱、不敬虔。他为了一时的口腹之欲,卖了自己长子的名分。 17 你们知道,他后来想要承受父亲对长子的祝福,却遭到拒绝,虽然声泪俱下,终无法使父亲回心转意。
18 你们并非来到那座摸得到、有火焰、乌云、黑暗、狂风、 19 号角声和说话声的西奈山,听见这些声音的人都哀求不要再向他们说话了。 20 因为他们承担不了所领受的命令:“即便是动物靠近这山,也要用石头打死它!” 21 那情景实在可怕,就连摩西也说:“我吓得发抖。”
22 但你们现在来到了锡安山,永活上帝的城邑,天上的耶路撒冷,欢聚着千万天使的地方。 23 这里有名字记录在天上的众长子的教会,有审判众人的上帝和已达到纯全的义人的灵魂, 24 还有新约的中保耶稣和祂所流的血。这血比亚伯的血发出更美的信息。
25 你们必须谨慎,切勿拒绝对你们说话的上帝。因为以色列人违背了在地上警戒他们的人,尚且逃脱不了惩罚,何况我们违背从天上警戒我们的上帝呢? 26 那时上帝的声音震动了大地,但现在祂应许说:“再一次,我不单要震动地,还要震动天。” 27 “再一次”这句话是指上帝要挪去可以被震动的受造之物,使不能被震动的可以长存。 28 那么,既然我们承受的是一个不能被震动的国度,就要感恩,用虔诚和敬畏的心事奉上帝,讨祂喜悦。 29 因为我们的上帝是烈火。

仰望耶穌
12 既然有這麼多見證人像雲彩一般圍繞著我們,我們就要放下一切重擔,擺脫容易纏累我們的罪,以堅忍的心奔跑我們前面的賽程, 2 定睛仰望為我們的信心創始成終的耶穌。祂為了擺在前面的喜樂,就輕看羞辱,忍受了十字架的痛苦,如今已坐在上帝寶座的右邊。 3 你們要思想忍受罪人如此頂撞的主,免得疲倦灰心。
愛的管教
4 其實你們與罪惡搏鬥,還沒有抵擋到流血的地步。 5 你們難道忘了那像勸勉兒子一樣勸勉你們的話嗎?「孩子啊,不可輕視主的管教,被祂責備的時候也不要灰心。 6 因為主管教祂所愛的人,責罰[a]祂收納的兒子。」
7 你們要忍受管教,上帝對待你們如同對待自己的兒子。哪有兒子不受父親管教的呢? 8 做子女的都會受管教,如果沒人管教你們,那你們就是私生子,不是兒子。 9 再者,我們的生身父親管教我們,我們尚且敬重他們,何況是萬靈之父上帝管教我們,我們豈不更要順服祂並得到生命嗎? 10 我們的生身父親是按自己以為好的標準暫時管教我們,但上帝是為了我們的益處而管教我們,使我們可以在祂的聖潔上有份。 11 被管教的滋味絕不好受,當時都很痛苦,但事後那些受過管教的人會收穫公義和平安的果子。 12 所以,你們要舉起下垂的手,挺直發酸的腿, 13 修直腳下的路,使瘸腿的人不致扭傷腳,反得痊癒。
切勿違背上帝
14 你們要盡力與大家和睦相處,並要追求聖潔的生活,因為不聖潔的人不能見主。 15 你們要謹慎,以免有人失去上帝的恩典,長出苦毒的根擾亂你們,玷污眾人。 16 要小心,免得有人像以掃那樣淫亂、不敬虔。他為了一時的口腹之慾,賣了自己長子的名分。 17 你們知道,他後來想要承受父親對長子的祝福,卻遭到拒絕,雖然聲淚俱下,終無法使父親回心轉意。
18 你們並非來到那座摸得到、有火焰、烏雲、黑暗、狂風、 19 號角聲和說話聲的西奈山,聽見這些聲音的人都哀求不要再向他們說話了。 20 因為他們承擔不了所領受的命令:「即便是動物靠近這山,也要用石頭打死牠!」 21 那情景實在可怕,就連摩西也說:「我嚇得發抖。」
22 但你們現在來到了錫安山,永活上帝的城邑,天上的耶路撒冷,歡聚著千萬天使的地方。 23 這裡有名字記錄在天上的眾長子的教會,有審判眾人的上帝和已達到純全的義人的靈魂, 24 還有新約的中保耶穌和祂所流的血。這血比亞伯的血發出更美的信息。
25 你們必須謹慎,切勿拒絕對你們說話的上帝。因為以色列人違背了在地上警戒他們的人,尚且逃脫不了懲罰,何況我們違背從天上警戒我們的上帝呢? 26 那時上帝的聲音震動了大地,但現在祂應許說:「再一次,我不單要震動地,還要震動天。」 27 「再一次」這句話是指上帝要挪去可以被震動的受造之物,使不能被震動的可以長存。 28 那麼,既然我們承受的是一個不能被震動的國度,就要感恩,用虔誠和敬畏的心事奉上帝,討祂喜悅。 29 因為我們的上帝是烈火。

Hebrews 12
New International Version
12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run(A) with perseverance(B) the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus,(C) the pioneer(D) and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross,(E) scorning its shame,(F) and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.(G) 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary(H) and lose heart.
God Disciplines His Children
4 In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.(I) 5 And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says,
“My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline,
and do not lose heart(J) when he rebukes you,
6 because the Lord disciplines the one he loves,(K)
and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.”[a](L)
7 Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children.(M) For what children are not disciplined by their father? 8 If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes discipline(N)—then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all. 9 Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits(O) and live!(P) 10 They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness.(Q) 11 No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace(R) for those who have been trained by it.
12 Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees.(S) 13 “Make level paths for your feet,”[b](T) so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.(U)
Warning and Encouragement
14 Make every effort to live in peace with everyone(V) and to be holy;(W) without holiness no one will see the Lord.(X) 15 See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God(Y) and that no bitter root(Z) grows up to cause trouble and defile many. 16 See that no one is sexually immoral,(AA) or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his inheritance rights as the oldest son.(AB) 17 Afterward, as you know, when he wanted to inherit this blessing, he was rejected. Even though he sought the blessing with tears,(AC) he could not change what he had done.
The Mountain of Fear and the Mountain of Joy
18 You have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness, gloom and storm;(AD) 19 to a trumpet blast(AE) or to such a voice speaking words(AF) that those who heard it begged that no further word be spoken to them,(AG) 20 because they could not bear what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned to death.”[c](AH) 21 The sight was so terrifying that Moses said, “I am trembling with fear.”[d](AI)
22 But you have come to Mount Zion,(AJ) to the city(AK) of the living God,(AL) the heavenly Jerusalem.(AM) You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, 23 to the church of the firstborn,(AN) whose names are written in heaven.(AO) You have come to God, the Judge of all,(AP) to the spirits of the righteous made perfect,(AQ) 24 to Jesus the mediator(AR) of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood(AS) that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.(AT)
25 See to it that you do not refuse(AU) him who speaks.(AV) If they did not escape when they refused him who warned(AW) them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven?(AX) 26 At that time his voice shook the earth,(AY) but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.”[e](AZ) 27 The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken(BA)—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken,(BB) let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe,(BC) 29 for our “God is a consuming fire.”[f](BD)

Hebrews 12
King James Version
12 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking 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 is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
18 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:
20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)
22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.
Hebrews 12
New King James Version
The Race of Faith
12 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, (A)let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and (B)let us run (C)with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the [a]author and [b]finisher of our faith, (D)who for the joy that was set before Him (E)endured the cross, despising the shame, and (F)has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
The Discipline of God(G)
3 (H)For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, (I)lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls. 4 (J)You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin. 5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons:
(K)“My son, do not despise the [c]chastening of the Lord,
Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him;
6 For (L)whom the Lord loves He chastens,
And scourges every son whom He receives.”
7 (M)If[d] you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what (N)son is there whom a father does not chasten? 8 But if you are without chastening, (O)of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons. 9 Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to (P)the Father of spirits and live? 10 For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, (Q)that we may be partakers of His holiness. 11 Now no [e]chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields (R)the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
Renew Your Spiritual Vitality(S)
12 Therefore (T)strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, 13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
14 (U)Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, (V)without which no one will see the Lord: 15 looking carefully lest anyone (W)fall short of the grace of God; lest any (X)root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled; 16 lest there be any (Y)fornicator or [f]profane person like Esau, (Z)who for one morsel of food sold his birthright. 17 For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was (AA)rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.
The Glorious Company
18 For you have not come [g]to (AB)the mountain that may be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness and [h]darkness and tempest, 19 and the sound of a trumpet and the voice of words, so that those who heard it (AC)begged that the word should not be spoken to them anymore. 20 (For they could not endure what was commanded: (AD)“And if so much as a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned [i]or shot with an arrow.” 21 And so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, (AE)“I am exceedingly afraid and trembling.”)
22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the [j]general assembly and church of (AF)the firstborn (AG)who are registered in heaven, to God (AH)the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men (AI)made perfect, 24 to Jesus (AJ)the Mediator of the new covenant, and to (AK)the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things (AL)than that of Abel.
Hear the Heavenly Voice
25 See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For (AM)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, 26 whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, (AN)“Yet once more I [k]shake not only the earth, but also heaven.” 27 Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the (AO)removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we [l]may (AP)serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. 29 For (AQ)our God is a consuming fire.

7 你们要忍受管教,上帝对待你们如同对待自己的儿子。哪有儿子不受父亲管教的呢? 8 做子女的都会受管教,如果没人管教你们,那你们就是私生子,不是儿子。 9 再者,我们的生身父亲管教我们,我们尚且敬重他们,何况是万灵之父上帝管教我们,我们岂不更要顺服祂并得到生命吗? 10 我们的生身父亲是按自己以为好的标准暂时管教我们,但上帝是为了我们的益处而管教我们,使我们可以在祂的圣洁上有份。 11 被管教的滋味绝不好受,当时都很痛苦,但事后那些受过管教的人会收获公义和平安的果子。 12 所以,你们要举起下垂的手,挺直发酸的腿, 13 修直脚下的路,使瘸腿的人不致扭伤脚,反得痊愈。

18 你们并非来到那座摸得到、有火焰、乌云、黑暗、狂风、 19 号角声和说话声的西奈山,听见这些声音的人都哀求不要再向他们说话了。 20 因为他们承担不了所领受的命令:“即便是动物靠近这山,也要用石头打死它!” 21 那情景实在可怕,就连摩西也说:“我吓得发抖。”
22 但你们现在来到了锡安山,永活上帝的城邑,天上的耶路撒冷,欢聚着千万天使的地方。 23 这里有名字记录在天上的众长子的教会,有审判众人的上帝和已达到纯全的义人的灵魂, 24 还有新约的中保耶稣和祂所流的血。这血比亚伯的血发出更美的信息。
25 你们必须谨慎,切勿拒绝对你们说话的上帝。因为以色列人违背了在地上警戒他们的人,尚且逃脱不了惩罚,何况我们违背从天上警戒我们的上帝呢? 26 那时上帝的声音震动了大地,但现在祂应许说:“再一次,我不单要震动地,还要震动天。” 27 “再一次”这句话是指上帝要挪去可以被震动的受造之物,使不能被震动的可以长存。 28 那么,既然我们承受的是一个不能被震动的国度,就要感恩,用虔诚和敬畏的心事奉上帝,讨祂喜悦。 29 因为我们的上帝是烈火。

18 You have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness, gloom and storm;(AD) 19 to a trumpet blast(AE) or to such a voice speaking words(AF) that those who heard it begged that no further word be spoken to them,(AG) 20 because they could not bear what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned to death.”[c](AH) 21 The sight was so terrifying that Moses said, “I am trembling with fear.”[d](AI)
22 But you have come to Mount Zion,(AJ) to the city(AK) of the living God,(AL) the heavenly Jerusalem.(AM) You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, 23 to the church of the firstborn,(AN) whose names are written in heaven.(AO) You have come to God, the Judge of all,(AP) to the spirits of the righteous made perfect,(AQ) 24 to Jesus the mediator(AR) of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood(AS) that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.(AT)
25 See to it that you do not refuse(AU) him who speaks.(AV) If they did not escape when they refused him who warned(AW) them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven?(AX) 26 At that time his voice shook the earth,(AY) but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.”[e](AZ) 27 The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken(BA)—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken,(BB) let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe,(BC) 29 for our “God is a consuming fire.”[f](BD)

Hebrews 12
King James Version
12 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking 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 is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
18 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:
20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)
22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.
Hebrews 12
New King James Version
The Race of Faith
12 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, (A)let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and (B)let us run (C)with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the [a]author and [b]finisher of our faith, (D)who for the joy that was set before Him (E)endured the cross, despising the shame, and (F)has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
The Discipline of God(G)
3 (H)For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, (I)lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls. 4 (J)You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin. 5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons:
(K)“My son, do not despise the [c]chastening of the Lord,
Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him;
6 For (L)whom the Lord loves He chastens,
And scourges every son whom He receives.”
7 (M)If[d] you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what (N)son is there whom a father does not chasten? 8 But if you are without chastening, (O)of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons. 9 Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to (P)the Father of spirits and live? 10 For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, (Q)that we may be partakers of His holiness. 11 Now no [e]chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields (R)the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
Renew Your Spiritual Vitality(S)
12 Therefore (T)strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, 13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
14 (U)Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, (V)without which no one will see the Lord: 15 looking carefully lest anyone (W)fall short of the grace of God; lest any (X)root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled; 16 lest there be any (Y)fornicator or [f]profane person like Esau, (Z)who for one morsel of food sold his birthright. 17 For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was (AA)rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.
The Glorious Company
18 For you have not come [g]to (AB)the mountain that may be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness and [h]darkness and tempest, 19 and the sound of a trumpet and the voice of words, so that those who heard it (AC)begged that the word should not be spoken to them anymore. 20 (For they could not endure what was commanded: (AD)“And if so much as a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned [i]or shot with an arrow.” 21 And so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, (AE)“I am exceedingly afraid and trembling.”)
22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the [j]general assembly and church of (AF)the firstborn (AG)who are registered in heaven, to God (AH)the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men (AI)made perfect, 24 to Jesus (AJ)the Mediator of the new covenant, and to (AK)the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things (AL)than that of Abel.
Hear the Heavenly Voice
25 See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For (AM)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, 26 whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, (AN)“Yet once more I [k]shake not only the earth, but also heaven.” 27 Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the (AO)removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we [l]may (AP)serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. 29 For (AQ)our God is a consuming fire.
