Jesus, the Example

12 Therefore, since we also have such a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let’s ^(A)rid ourselves of every obstacle and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s ^(B)run with ^(C)endurance the race that is set before us, ² looking only at Jesus, the ^[a](D)originator and perfecter of the faith, who for the joy set before Him ^(E)endured the cross, ^(F)despising the shame, and has ^(G)sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

³ For ^(H)consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary ^[b](I)and lose heart.

^7 (A)I have fought the good fight, I have finished ^(B)the course, I have kept ^(C)the faith; ⁸ in the future there ^(D)is reserved for me ^(E)the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on ^(F)that day; and not only to me, but also to ^(G)all who have loved His ^(H)appearing.
