Hebrews 12
King James Version
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.

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.

12 Kaya't yamang nakukubkob tayo ng makapal na bilang ng mga saksi, itabi namang walang liwag ang bawa't pasan, at ang pagkakasalang pumipigil sa atin, at ating takbuhing may pagtitiis ang takbuhing inilagay sa harapan natin,
2 Na masdan natin si Jesus na gumawa at sumakdal ng ating pananampalataya, na siya dahil sa kagalakang inilagay sa harapan niya ay nagtiis ng krus, na niwalang bahala ang kahihiyan, at umupo sa kanan ng luklukan ng Dios.
3 Sapagka't dilidilihin ninyo yaong nagtiis ng gayong pagsalangsang ng mga makasalanan laban sa kaniyang sarili, upang kayo'y huwag magsihina, na manglupaypay sa inyong mga kaluluwa.
4 Hindi pa kayo nakikipaglaban hanggang sa mabubo ang dugo, na nakikipagaway laban sa kasalanan:
5 At inyong nilimot ang iniaral na ipinakikipagtalo sa inyong tulad sa mga anak, Anak ko, huwag mong waling bahala ang parusa ng Panginoon, O manglupaypay man kung ikaw ay pinagwiwikaan niya;
6 Sapagka't pinarurusahan ng Panginoon ang kaniyang iniibig, At hinahampas ang bawa't tinatanggap na anak.
7 Na dahil sa ito'y parusa kayo'y nagtitiis; inaari kayo ng Dios na tulad sa mga anak; sapagka't alin ngang anak ang hindi pinarurusahan ng kaniyang ama?
8 Datapuwa't kung kayo'y hindi pinarurusahan, na pawang naranasan ng lahat, kung gayo'y mga anak sa ligaw kayo, at hindi tunay na anak.
9 Bukod dito, tayo'y nangagkaroon ng mga ama ng ating laman upang tayo'y parusahan, at sila'y ating iginagalang: hindi baga lalong tayo'y pasasakop sa Ama ng mga espiritu, at tayo'y mabubuhay?
10 Sapagka't katotohanang tayo'y pinarusahan nilang ilang araw ayon sa kanilang minagaling; nguni't siya'y sa kapakinabangan natin, upang tayo'y makabahagi ng kaniyang kabanalan.
11 Lahat ng parusa sa ngayon ay tila man din hindi ikaliligaya kundi ikalulungkot; gayon ma'y pagkatapos ay namumunga ng bungang mapayapa ng katuwiran sa mga nagsipagsanay sa pamamagitan nito.
12 Kaya't itaas ninyo ang mga kamay na nakababa, ang mga tuhod namang nanginginig;
13 At magsigawa kayo ng matuwid na landas sa inyong mga paa, upang huwag maligaw ang pilay, kundi bagkus gumaling.
14 Sundin ninyo ang kapayapaan sa lahat ng mga tao, at ang pagpapakabanal na kung wala ito'y sinoman ay di makakakita sa Panginoon:
15 Na pakaingatan na baka ang sinoma'y di makaabot sa biyaya ng Dios; baka kayo'y bagabagin ng anomang ugat ng kapaitan na sumisibol, at dahil dito'y mahawa ang marami;
16 Baka magkaroon ng sinomang mapakiapid, o mapaglapastangan, gaya ni Esau, na sa isang pinggang pagkain ay ipinagbili ang kaniyang sariling pagkapanganay.
17 Sapagka't nalalaman ninyo na bagama't pagkatapos ay ninanasa niyang magmana ng pagpapala, siya'y itinakuwil; sapagka't wala na siyang nasumpungang pagkakataon ng pagsisisi sa kaniyang ama, bagama't pinagsisikapan niyang mapilit na lumuluha.
18 Sapagka't hindi kayo nagsilapit sa bundok na nahihipo, at nagliliyab sa apoy, at sa kapusikitan, at sa kadiliman, at sa unos,
19 At tunog ng pakakak, at tinig ng mga salita; na ang nakarinig ng tinig na ito ay nagsipamanhik na huwag nang sa kanila'y salitain pa ang anomang salita;
20 Sapagka't hindi matiis ang iniuutos, Kahit ang isang hayop kung tumungtong sa bundok ay babatuhin;
21 At totoong kakilakilabot ang napanood, ano pa't sinabi ni Moises, Ako'y totoong nasisindak at nanginginig:
22 Datapuwa't nagsilapit kayo sa bundok ng Sion, at sa bayan ng Dios na buhay, ang Jerusalem sa kalangitan, at sa mga di mabilang na hukbo ng mga anghel,
23 Sa pangkalahatang pulong at iglesia ng mga panganay na nangatatala sa langit, at sa Dios na Hukom ng lahat, at mga espiritu ng mga taong ganap na pinasakdal,
24 At kay Jesus na tagapamagitan ng bagong tipan, at dugong pangwisik na nagsasalita ng lalong mabuti kay sa dugo ni Abel.
25 Pagingatan ninyong kayo'y huwag tumanggi sa nagsasalita. Sapagka't kung hindi nakatanan ang mga nagsitanggi sa nagbalita sa kanila sa ibabaw ng lupa, ay lalo pa tayong hindi makatatanan na nagsisihiwalay Doon sa nagbabalitang buhat sa langit:
26 Na ang tinig na yaon ay nagpayanig noon ng lupa: datapuwa't ngayo'y nangako siya, na nagsasabi, Minsan pang yayanigin ko, hindi lamang ang lupa, kundi pati ng langit.
27 At itong salita, Minsan pang, ay pinakakahuluganan ang pagaalis niyaong mga bagay na niyanig, gaya ng mga bagay na ginawa, upang mamalagi ang mga hindi niyanig.
28 Kaya't pagkatanggap ng isang kahariang hindi magagalaw, ay magkaroon tayo ng biyayang sa pamamagitan nito ay makapaghahandog tayong may paggalang at katakutan ng paglilingkod na nakalulugod sa Dios:
29 Sapagka't ang Dios natin ay isang apoy na mamumugnaw.
Hebrews 12
New International Version
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)
