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; 
6 For awhom the Lord loves He chastens,
And scourges every son whom He receives.”  
7 aIf1 you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what bson is there whom a father does not chasten?  
8 But if you are without chastening, aof 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 athe 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, athat we may be partakers of His holiness.  
11 Now no1 chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields athe peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.  

Renew Your Spiritual Vitality

12 Therefore astrengthen 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 aPursue peace with all people, and holiness, bwithout which no one will see the Lord:
