\subsection{Hebrews 12}
|
|
\VS{1} Therefore we also, having so large [a] surrounding us cloud of witnesses,
|
|
putting off every weight and easily distracting sin, through endurance let
|
|
us be running the contest set before us,
|
|
\VS{2} fixing one's eyes on the
|
|
captain and completer\footnote{or ``perfecter''} of faith, Jesus, who
|
|
instead of\footnote{or ``in exchange for," ``at the price of"} the joy set
|
|
before him, endured the cross, slighting [the] shame, and he has sat at the right
|
|
[hand] of the throne of God.
|
|
\VS{3} For consider such endurance of hostility of
|
|
sinners against himself, in order that you not be weary in your psyche-lives\fnPsyche{},
|
|
giving out.
|
|
\VS{4} Not yet until blood have you struggling [ones] resisted against
|
|
sin,
|
|
\VS{5} and [not yet] have you forgotten altogether the encouragement which to
|
|
you as sons he speaks:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
My son, be not thinking lightly of the discipline\footnote{or ``education''}
|
|
of the Lord \\
|
|
Nor when being corrected be wearying from him. \\
|
|
\VS{6} For whom the Lord agape-loves he disciplines\footnote{or
|
|
``educates''}, \\
|
|
He flogs every son whom he receives.
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{7} For discipline\footnote{or ``education''} be enduring; as sons
|
|
God deals with you. For who is son whom [his] father does not
|
|
discipline\footnote{or ``educate''}?
|
|
\VS{8} But if you are without
|
|
discipline\footnote{or ``education''}, of which partakers they are become,
|
|
then bastards\footnote{illegitamate''} and not sons are you.
|
|
\VS{9}
|
|
Furthermore we were having our fathers after the flesh
|
|
discipliners\footnote{or ``educators''} and we were respecting them; should
|
|
we not more rather be subject to the father of [our] spirits and live?
|
|
\VS{10}
|
|
For on the one hand for [a] few days according to what seems good to them were
|
|
they disciplining\footnote{or ``educating''} [us], but on the other hand [it is] for
|
|
profit to those sharing in his holiness.
|
|
\VS{11} On the one hand every
|
|
discipline\footnote{or ``education''} for the present does not seem to be of
|
|
joy but of pain, but on the other hand afterwards they yield the peaceable
|
|
fruit of justness to those exercised through it.
|
|
\VS{12} Therefore make
|
|
straight the weakened hand and disabled knee,
|
|
\VS{13} and be making [a]
|
|
straight course for your feet, in order that what is lame be not put out of
|
|
joint, but rather be healed.
|
|
\VS{14} Be pursuing peace with all, and
|
|
holiness, without which no one will see the Lord,
|
|
\VS{15} while taking care
|
|
[that] someone not be missing from the grace of God, [that] someone not be sprouting up
|
|
root of bitterness [lest] he cause trouble and through this many be stained,
|
|
\VS{16} [that] someone not be [a] fornicator or profane as Esau, who in exchange for
|
|
one meal yielded his own birthright.
|
|
\VS{17} For you see that afterwards
|
|
when wanting to inherit the promise, he was rejected, for place for
|
|
repentance was not found, though with tears he sought it.
|
|
\VS{18} For you are come by touching and having been burned by fire and by darkness
|
|
and by gloom and by whirlwind,
|
|
\VS{19} and by sound of trumpet and by voice of
|
|
words, which [sounds] those having heard requested [that more] word not be added to them.
|
|
\VS{20} For they were not bearing the [thing] commanded: If even wild beast touch
|
|
the mountain, it will be stoned.
|
|
\VS{21} And so fearful was the sight Moses said, I am terrified and trembling.
|
|
\VS{22} But you are come to Zion, the mountain and city of the zoe-living\fnZoe{} God,
|
|
heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels, to the festal assembly,
|
|
\VS{23} and to the assembly\fnEkklhsia{} of the first-born
|
|
enrolled in heaven, and to the judge of all, God, and the spirits of
|
|
completed\footnote{or ``perfected''} justness,
|
|
\VS{24} and to the mediator
|
|
of the new contract\footnote{or ``testament'', ``covenant''}, Jesus, and to
|
|
blood of sprinkling speaking greater [things] beside Abel.
|
|
\VS{25} Be seeing [that] you
|
|
not reject the [things] spoken. For if these did not escape rejecting upon earth the
|
|
warning, rather more we repudiating that from [the] heavens [will not escape],
|
|
\VS{26} whose voice then shook the earth, but now promised saying,
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
Yet once [more] I will shake not only the earth but also heaven.
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{27} But the ``Yet once [more]" shows the removal of shakings as done, in order
|
|
that the [things] not being shaken remain.
|
|
\VS{28} Therefore receiving [an] unshakable
|
|
kingdom, let us have grace, through which let us be ministering acceptable
|
|
to God, with reverence and awe,
|
|
\VS{29} for our God [is a] consuming fire.
