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, 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) Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary(H) and lose heart.

12 我 們 既 有 這 許 多 的 見 證 人 , 如 同 雲 彩 圍 著 我 們 , 就 當 放 下 各 樣 的 重 擔 , 脫 去 容 易 纏 累 我 們 的 罪 , 存 心 忍 耐 , 奔 那 擺 在 我 們 前 頭 的 路 程 ,

仰 望 為 我 們 信 心 創 始 成 終 的 耶 穌 ( 或 作 : 仰 望 那 將 真 道 創 始 成 終 的 耶 穌 ) 。 他 因 那 擺 在 前 面 的 喜 樂 , 就 輕 看 羞 辱 , 忍 受 了 十 字 架 的 苦 難 , 便 坐 在 神 寶 座 的 右 邊 。

那 忍 受 罪 人 這 樣 頂 撞 的 , 你 們 要 思 想 , 免 得 疲 倦 灰 心 。

你 們 與 罪 惡 相 爭 , 還 沒 有 抵 擋 到 流 血 的 地 步 。

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.

For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
