00:00.000 --> 00:08.620
Chapter 12 Wherefore, seeing we also are
compassed about with so great a cloud of

00:08.620 --> 00:15.080
witnesses, let us lay aside every weight,
and the sin which doth so easily beset us,

00:15.320 --> 00:20.600
and let us run with patience the race that
is set before us, looking unto Jesus,

00:21.100 --> 00:26.340
the author and finisher of our faith,
who for the joy that was set before him

00:26.340 --> 00:32.660
endured the cross, despising the shame,
and is set down at the right hand of the

00:32.660 --> 00:33.560
throne of God.

00:34.280 --> 00:39.000
For consider him that endured such
contradiction of sinners against himself,

00:39.660 --> 00:42.260
lest ye be wearied and faint in your
minds.

00:43.280 --> 00:48.940
Ye have not yet resisted unto blood,
striving against sin, and ye have

00:48.940 --> 00:53.060
forgotten the exhortation which speaketh
unto you as unto children.

00:53.940 --> 01:00.020
My son, despise not thou the chastening of
the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked

01:00.020 --> 01:00.400
of him.

01:00.840 --> 01:06.240
For whom the Lord loveth, he chasteneth,
and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

01:07.420 --> 01:12.300
If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with
you as with sons.

01:12.740 --> 01:15.960
For what son is he whom the Father
chasteneth not?

01:16.460 --> 01:22.540
But if ye be without chastisement,
whereof all are partakers, then are ye

01:22.540 --> 01:24.620
bastards, and not sons.

01:25.520 --> 01:30.840
Furthermore, we have had fathers of our
flesh which corrected us, and we gave them

01:30.840 --> 01:31.320
reverence.

01:31.500 --> 01:37.080
Shall we not much rather be in subjection
unto the Father of spirits, and live?

01:37.820 --> 01:43.520
For they verily for a few days chastened
us after their own pleasure, but he for

01:43.520 --> 01:47.780
our profit, that we might be partakers of
his holiness.

01:49.200 --> 01:54.440
Now no chastening for the present seemeth
to be joyous, but grievous.

01:55.020 --> 02:00.040
Nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the
peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them

02:00.040 --> 02:01.640
which are exercised thereby.

02:02.480 --> 02:08.820
Wherefore lift up the hands which hang
down, and the feeble knees, and make

02:08.820 --> 02:13.700
straight paths for your feet, lest that
which is lame be turned out of the way,

02:14.140 --> 02:15.820
but let it rather be healed.

02:16.580 --> 02:22.320
Follow peace with all men, and holiness,
without which no man shall see the Lord.

02:22.920 --> 02:28.620
Looking diligently, lest any man fail of
the grace of God, lest any root of

02:28.620 --> 02:34.140
bitterness springing up trouble you,
and thereby many be defiled, lest there be

02:34.140 --> 02:40.240
any fornicator or profane person as Esau,
who for one morsel of meat sowed his

02:40.240 --> 02:40.860
birthright.

02:41.840 --> 02:45.940
For ye know how that afterward,
when he would have inherited the blessing,

02:46.360 --> 02:51.560
he was rejected, for he found no place of
repentance, though he sought it carefully

02:51.560 --> 02:52.240
with tears.

02:52.820 --> 02:57.400
For ye are not come unto the mount that
might be touched, and that burned with

02:57.400 --> 03:03.280
fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness,
and tempest, and the sound of a trumpet,

03:03.500 --> 03:08.600
and the voice of words, which voice they
that heard entreated, that the word should

03:08.600 --> 03:12.920
not be spoken to them any more,
for they could not endure that which was

03:12.920 --> 03:13.540
commanded.

03:15.120 --> 03:20.580
And if so much as a beast touch the
mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust

03:20.580 --> 03:21.760
through with a dart.

03:22.680 --> 03:28.240
And so terrible was the sight,
that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and

03:28.240 --> 03:28.640
quake.

03:29.320 --> 03:34.680
But ye are come unto mount Sion,
and unto the city of the living God,

03:35.040 --> 03:39.220
the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an
innumerable company of angels,

03:39.760 --> 03:44.540
to the general assembly and church of the
firstborn, which are written in heaven,

03:44.760 --> 03:50.720
and to God the judge of all, and to the
spirits of just men made perfect,

03:51.120 --> 03:56.280
and to Jesus the mediator of the new
covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling,

03:56.580 --> 03:59.440
that speaketh better things than that of
Abel.

04:00.100 --> 04:03.460
See that ye refuse not him that speaketh.

04:03.460 --> 04:09.720
For if they escaped not who refused him
that spake on earth, much more shall not

04:09.720 --> 04:13.520
we escape, if we turn away from him that
speaketh from heaven.

04:14.120 --> 04:18.440
Whose voice then shook the earth,
but now he hath promised, saying,

04:19.200 --> 04:23.820
Yet once more I shake not the earth only,
but also heaven.

04:24.520 --> 04:31.240
And this word, yet once more, signifieth
the removing of those things that are

04:31.240 --> 04:36.160
shaken, as of things that are made,
that those things which cannot be shaken

04:36.160 --> 04:37.020
may remain.

04:37.780 --> 04:43.580
Wherefore we, receiving a kingdom which
cannot be moved, let us have grace,

04:44.180 --> 04:51.720
whereby we may serve God acceptably with
reverence and godly fear, for our God is a

04:51.720 --> 04:52.860
consuming fire.
