Biblia del Jubileo
12 ¶ Por tanto nosotros también, teniendo puesta sobre nosotros una tan grande nube de testigos, dejando todo el peso del pecado que nos rodea, corramos por paciencia la carrera que nos es propuesta,
2 puestos los ojos en el Autor y Consumador de la fe, Jesús, el cual, habiéndole sido propuesto gozo, sufrió el madero, menospreciando la vergüenza, y fue sentado a la diestra del trono de Dios.
3 Traed pues muchas veces a vuestro pensamiento a aquel que sufrió tal contradicción de pecadores contra sí mismo, para que no os fatiguéis en vuestros ánimos desmayando.
4 ¶ Que aún no habéis resistido hasta la sangre combatiendo contra el pecado;
5 y estáis ya olvidados de la consolación que como con hijos habla con vosotros, (diciendo): Hijo mío, no menosprecies el castigo del Señor, ni desmayes cuando eres de él redargüido;
6 porque el Señor al que ama castiga, y azota a cualquiera que recibe por hijo.
7 Si sufrís el castigo, Dios se os presenta como a hijos, porque ¿qué hijo es aquel a quien el padre no castiga?
8 Mas si estáis fuera del castigo, del cual todos los hijos han sido hechos participantes, luego adulterinos sois y no hijos.
9 Además, tuvimos por castigadores a los padres de nuestra carne, y los reverenciábamos: ¿por qué no seamos sujetos mucho mejor al Padre de los espíritus, y viviremos?
10 Y aquellos, a la verdad, por pocos días nos castigaban como a ellos les parecía; mas éste para lo que nos es provechoso, es a saber, para que recibamos su santificación.
11 Es verdad que ningún castigo al presente parece ser causa de gozo, sino de tristeza; mas después da fruto apacible de justicia a los que en él son ejercitados.
12 Por lo cual alzad las manos caídas y las rodillas descoyuntadas.
13 Y haced derechos pasos a vuestros pies, para que lo que es cojo no salga fuera de camino; antes sea sanado.
14 Seguid la paz con todos; y la santidad, sin la cual nadie verá al Señor:
15 Mirando bien que ninguno se aparte de la gracia de Dios; que ninguna raíz de amargura brotando os impida, y por ella muchos sean contaminados.
16 Que ninguno sea fornicario o profano, como Esaú, que por una vianda vendió su primogenitura.
17 Porque ya sabéis que aun después, deseando heredar la bendición, fue reprobado, que no halló lugar de arrepentimiento, aunque la procuró con lágrimas.
18 ¶ Porque no os habéis llegado al monte que se podía tocar, y al fuego encendido, y al turbión, y a la oscuridad, y a la tempestad,
19 y al sonido de la trompeta, y a la voz de las palabras, la cual los que la oyeron rogaron que no se les hablara más;
20 (porque no podían tolerar lo que se decía: y, si una bestia tocare al monte, será apedreada, o pasada con dardo;
21 y tan terrible cosa era lo que se veía, que Moisés dijo: Estoy asombrado y temblando).
22 Mas os habéis llegado al monte de Sión, y a la ciudad del Dios viviente, Jerusalén la celestial, y a la compañía de muchos millares de ángeles,
23 y a la Congregación de la Iglesia de los Primogénitos que están tomados por lista en los cielos, y a Dios el Juez de todos, y a los espíritus de los justos ya perfectos,
24 y a Jesús el Mediador del Nuevo Testamento; y a la sangre del esparcimiento que habla mejor que la de Abel.
25 Mirad que no desechéis al que habla. Porque si no escaparon aquellos que desecharon al que hablaba en la tierra, mucho menos escaparemos nosotros, si desechamos al que habla desde los cielos.
26 La voz del cual entonces conmovió la tierra; mas ahora ha denunciado, diciendo: Aún una vez, y yo conmoveré no solamente la tierra, sino también el cielo.
27 Y lo que dice: Aún una vez, declara el quitar de las cosas movibles, como de cosas hechizas, para que queden las que son firmes.
28 Así que, tomando el Reino inmóvil, retengamos la gracia por la cual sirvamos a Dios, agradándole con temor y reverencia.
29 Porque nuestro Dios es fuego consumidor.
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)

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.
