² our eyes fixed upon Jesus as the pioneer and the perfection of faith — upon Jesus who, in order to reach his own appointed joy, steadily endured the cross, thinking nothing of its shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

¹⁰ As an example of fortitude and endurance, brothers, take the prophets who have spoken in the name of the Lord. ¹¹ See, we call the stedfast happy; you have heard of the stedfastness of Job, and you have seen the end of the Lord with him, seen that the Lord is very compassionate and pitiful.

²⁵ but the word of the Lord lasts for ever — and that is the word of the gospel for you.

¹ Therefore, with all this host of witnesses encircling us, we must strip off every handicap, strip off sin with its clinging folds, to run our appointed course steadily,

² I adjure you to preach the word; keep at it in season and out of season, refuting, checking, and exhorting men; never lose patience with them, and never give up your teaching, ³ for the time will come when people will decline to be taught sound doctrine and will accumulate teachers to suit themselves and tickle their own fancies; ⁴ they will give up listening to the Truth and turn to myths. ⁵ Whatever happens, be self-possessed, flinch from no suffering, do your work as an evangelist, and discharge all your duties as a minister. ⁶ The last drops of my own sacrifice are falling; my time to go has come. ⁷ I have fought in the good fight; I have run my course; I have kept the faith. ⁸ Now the crown of a good life awaits me, with which the Lord, that just Judge, will reward me on the great Day — and not only me but all who have loved and longed for his appearance.

¹ Therefore, with all this host of witnesses encircling us, we must strip off every handicap, strip off sin with its clinging folds, to run our appointed course steadily, ² our eyes fixed upon Jesus as the pioneer and the perfection of faith — upon Jesus who, in order to reach his own appointed joy, steadily endured the cross, thinking nothing of its shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God. ³ Compare him who steadily endured all that hostility from sinful men, so as to keep your own hearts from fainting and failing.

¹³ May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in your faith, that you may be overflowing with hope by the power of the holy Spirit!

¹ As we are justified by faith, then, let us enjoy the peace we have with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. ² Through him we have got access to this grace where we have our standing, and triumph in the hope of God's glory. ³ Not only so, but we triumph even in our troubles, knowing that trouble produces endurance, ⁴ endurance produces character, and character produces hope — ⁵ a hope which never disappoints us, since God's love floods our hearts through the holy Spirit which has been given to us. ⁶ For when we were still in weakness, Christ died in due time for the ungodly. For the ungodly! ⁷ Why, a man will hardly die for the just — though one might bring oneself to die, if need be, for a good man. ⁸ But God proves his love for us by this, that Christ died for us when we were still sinners. ⁹ Much more then, now that we are justified by his blood, shall we be saved by him from Wrath. ¹⁰ If we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son when we were enemies, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. ¹¹ Not only so, but we triumph in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we now enjoy our reconciliation. ¹² Thus, then, sin came into the world by one man, and death came in by sin; and so death spread to all men, inasmuch as all men sinned. ¹³ Sin was indeed in the world before the Law, but sin is never counted in the absence of law. ¹⁴ Nevertheless, from Adam to Moses death reigned even over those whose sins were not like Adam's transgression. Adam prefigured Him who was to come, ¹⁵ but the gift is very different from the trespass. For while the rest of men died by the trespass of one man, the grace of God and the free gift which comes by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ overflowed far more richly upon the rest of men. ¹⁶ Nor is the free gift like the effect of the one man's sin; for while the sentence ensuing on a single sin resulted in doom, the free gift ensuing on many trespasses issues in acquittal. ¹⁷ For if the trespass of one man allowed death to reign through that one man, much more shall those who receive the overflowing grace and free gift of righteousness reign in life through One, through Jesus Christ. ¹⁸ Well then, as one man's trespass issued in doom for all, so one man's act of redress issues in acquittal and life for all. ¹⁹ Just as one man's disobedience made all the rest sinners, so one man's obedience will make all the rest righteous. ²⁰ Law slipped in to aggravate the trespass; sin increased, but grace surpassed it far, ²¹ so that, while sin had reigned the reign of death, grace might also reign with a righteousness that ends in life eternal through Jesus Christ our Lord.

³ Not only so, but we triumph even in our troubles, knowing that trouble produces endurance, ⁴ endurance produces character, and character produces hope —
