The Race of Faith
1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, alet us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and blet us run cwith endurance the race that is set before us,
2 looking unto Jesus, the1 author and finisher of our faith, awho for the joy that was set before Him bendured the cross, despising the shame, and chas sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
The Discipline of God
3 aFor consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, blest you become weary and discouraged in your souls.
4 aYou have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin.
5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons:
a“My son, do not despise the1 chastening of the Lord,
Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him;
a“My son, do not despise the1 chastening of the Lord,
Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him;
