¹ THEREFORE also seeing we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, laying aside every weight, and that most easily besetting sin, let us run with patience the race lying before us, ² earnestly looking up to Jesus the author and the finisher of faith; who, for the joy set before him, endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. ³ Consider then attentively him that endured from sinners such opposition against himself, that ye be not wearied out, fainting in your souls. ⁴ As yet ye have not resisted unto blood, struggling against sin. ⁵ And have you forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you, as children, "My son, count not lightly of the Lord's childlike correction, nor faint when under his rebuke: ⁶ for whom the Lord loveth he correcteth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth." ⁷ If ye patiently endure correction, God carries himself towards you as his children: for who is the son whom the father doth not correct? ⁸ If then ye are without correction, of which all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not children. ⁹ If then we have had the fathers of our flesh for correctors, and reverenced them; shall we not much more be under subjection to the Father of spirits, and live? ¹⁰ For they indeed for a few days as seemed proper to themselves corrected us; but he for our own advantage, that we might be partakers of his holiness. ¹¹ Now all correction at the moment seemeth not to be cause for joy, but for sorrow; but after a while it produceth peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have thereby been disciplined. ¹² Wherefore stretch out again the hands that hang down, and the paralytic knees; ¹³ and make strait paths for your feet, that what is halting may not be turned out of the way; but that it may rather be healed. ¹⁴ Earnestly seek peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: ¹⁵ carefully observing lest any of you fail of attaining the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and by it many be defiled; ¹⁶ lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of bread parted with his birthrights. ¹⁷ For ye know, that when afterwards he wished to inherit the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place for a change of [his father's] mind, though he sought it earnestly with tears. ¹⁸ For ye have not approached the mountain that could only be groped for, and that burned with fire, and the thick cloud, and the darkness, and the tempest, ¹⁹ and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words, which they who heard, earnestly begged that the discourse might not be directed to them: ²⁰ for they could not bear the charge given, and "If but a beast touch the mountain he shall be stoned, or shot through with a dart:" ²¹ and so terrible was the appearance, that Moses said, I am exceedingly afraid and trembling: ²² but ye are come unto mount Sion, and to the city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels, ²³ and to the general assembly and church of the first-born registered in the heavens, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of just men perfected, ²⁴ and to Jesus the mediator of the new testament, and to the blood of sprinkling, which speaketh better things than that of Abel. ²⁵ Beware that ye reject not him that speaketh: for if they escaped not, who rejected him, that upon earth spake by divine influence, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him who speaks from heaven: ²⁶ whose voice then shook the earth, but now he hath promised, saying, "Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also the heaven." ²⁷ Now this word yet once more manifests the removal of the things shaken, as of things formed, that the things not shaken may endure. ²⁸ Wherefore receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, may we hold fast the grace, by which we can offer to God acceptably divine service, with reverence and pious awe: ²⁹ for our God is a devouring fire.

Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? Do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise from it: ⁴ for he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou doest that which is evil, tremble! for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, an avenger to inflict wrath on him that practises what is evil. ⁵ Wherefore there is a necessity for being in subjection, not only for fear of wrath, but also for conscience sake. ⁶ For on this account pay ye taxes also: for they are God's ministers, continually employed on this very service. ⁷ Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due, custom to whom custom, fear to whom fear, honour to whom honour.
