Hebrews 12:1-3

ACV(i) 1 Therefore we also, having so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, having put off every weight and cleverly entangling sin, let us run by perseverance the contest being set before us. 2 Looking to Jesus the pathfinder and perfecter of the faith, who, against the joy set before him, endured a cross, having despised the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 For consider the man who endured such hostility against him by sinners, so that ye may not be weary in your souls, being disheartened.
