| Hebrews 12:1 | Therefore let us also, seeing we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, | Let *us* also therefore, having so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, laying aside every weight, and sin which so easily entangles us, run with endurance the race that lies before us, | For this reason, as we are circled by so great a cloud of witnesses, putting off every weight, and the sin into which we come so readily, let us keep on running in the way which is marked out for us, |
| Hebrews 12:2 | looking unto Jesus the author and perfecter of [our] faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. | looking stedfastly on Jesus the leader and completer of faith: who, in view of the joy lying before him, endured [the] cross, having despised [the] shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. | Having our eyes fixed on Jesus, the guide and end of our faith, who went through the pains of the cross, not caring for the shame, because of the joy which was before him, and who has now taken his place at the right hand of God's seat of power. |
| Hebrews 12:3 | For consider him that hath endured such gainsaying of sinners against himself, that ye wax not weary, fainting in your souls. | For consider well him who endured so great contradiction from sinners against himself, that ye be not weary, fainting in your minds. | Give thought to him who has undergone so much of the hate of sinners against himself, so that you may not be tired and feeble of purpose. |
| Hebrews 12:4 | Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin: | Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, wrestling against sin. | Till now you have not given your blood in your fight against sin: |
| Hebrews 12:5 | and ye have forgotten the exhortation which reasoneth with you as with sons, My son, regard not lightly the chastening of the Lord, Nor faint when thou art reproved of him; | And ye have quite forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: My son, despise not [the] chastening of [the] Lord, nor faint [when] reproved by him; | And you have not kept in mind the word which says to you as to sons, My son, do not make little of the Lord's punishment, and do not give up hope when you are judged by him; |
| Hebrews 12:6 | For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, And scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. | for whom [the] Lord loves he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives. | For the Lord sends punishment on his loved ones; everyone whom he takes as his son has experience of his rod. |
| Hebrews 12:7 | It is for chastening that ye endure; God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is there whom [his] father chasteneth not? | Ye endure for chastening, God conducts himself towards you as towards sons; for who is the son that the father chastens not? | It is for your training that you undergo these things; God is acting to you as a father does to his sons; for what son does not have punishment from his father? |
| Hebrews 12:8 | But if ye are without chastening, whereof all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. | But if ye are without chastening, of which all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. | But if you have not that punishment of which we all have our part, then you are not true sons, but children of shame. |
| Hebrews 12:9 | Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? | Moreover we have had the fathers of our flesh as chasteners, and we reverenced [them]; shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live? | And again, if the fathers of our flesh gave us punishment and had our respect, how much more will we be under the authority of the Father of spirits, and have life? |
| Hebrews 12:10 | For they indeed for a few days chastened [us] as seemed good to them; but he for [our] profit, that [we] may be partakers of his holiness. | For they indeed chastened for a few days, as seemed good to them; but he for profit, in order to the partaking of his holiness. | For they truly gave us punishment for a short time, as it seemed good to them; but he does it for our profit, so that we may become holy as he is. |
| Hebrews 12:11 | All chastening seemeth for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yieldeth peaceable fruit unto them that have been exercised thereby, [even the fruit] of righteousness. | But no chastening at the time seems to be [matter] of joy, but of grief; but afterwards yields [the] peaceful fruit of righteousness to those exercised by it. | At the time all punishment seems to be pain and not joy: but after, those who have been trained by it get from it the peace-giving fruit of righteousness. |
| Hebrews 12:12 | Wherefore lift up the hands that hang down, and the palsied knees; | Wherefore lift up the hands that hang down, and the failing knees; | For this cause let the hands which are hanging down be lifted up, and let the feeble knees be made strong, |
| Hebrews 12:13 | and make straight paths for your feet, that that which is lame be not turned out of the way, but rather be healed. | and make straight paths for your feet, that that which is lame be not turned aside; but that rather it may be healed. | And make straight roads for your feet, so that the feeble may not be turned out of the way, but may be made strong. |
| Hebrews 12:14 | Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord: | Pursue peace with all, and holiness, without which no one shall see the Lord: | Let your desire be for peace with all men, and to be made holy, without which no man may see the Lord; |
| Hebrews 12:15 | looking carefully lest [there be] any man that falleth short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble [you], and thereby the many be defiled; | watching lest [there be] any one who lacks the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble [you], and many be defiled by it; | Looking with care to see that no man among you in his behaviour comes short of the grace of God; for fear that some bitter root may come up to be a trouble to you, and that some of you may be made unclean by it; |
| Hebrews 12:16 | lest [there be] any fornication, or profane person, as Esau, who for one mess of meat sold his own birthright. | lest [there be] any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one meal sold his birthright; | And that there may not be any evil liver, or any man without respect for God, like Esau, who let his birthright go for a plate of food. |
| Hebrews 12:17 | For ye know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected; for he found no place for a change of mind [in his father,] though he sought it diligently with tears. | for ye know that also afterwards, desiring to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, (for he found no place for repentance) although he sought it earnestly with tears. | For you have knowledge that even long after, when he was desiring the blessing for his heritage, he was turned away, though he made his request frequently and with weeping; because the past might not be changed. |
| Hebrews 12:18 | For ye are not come unto [a mount] that might be touched, and that burned with fire, and unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, | For ye have not come to [the mount] that might be touched and was all on fire, and to obscurity, and darkness, and tempest, | You have not come to a mountain which may be touched, and is burning with fire, and to a black cloud, and a dark smoke, and a violent wind, |
| Hebrews 12:19 | and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which [voice] they that heard entreated that no word more should be spoken unto them; | and trumpet's sound, and voice of words; which they that heard, excusing themselves, declined [the] word being addressed to them any more: | And to the sound of a horn, and the voice of words, the hearers of which made request that not a word more might be said to them: |
| Hebrews 12:20 | for they could not endure that which was enjoined, If even a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned; | (for they were not able to bear what was enjoined: And if a beast should touch the mountain, it shall be stoned; | For the order which said, If the mountain is touched even by a beast, the beast is to be stoned, seemed hard to them; |
| Hebrews 12:21 | and so fearful was the appearance, [that] Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake: | and, so fearful was the sight, Moses said, I am exceedingly afraid and full of trembling;) | And the vision was so overpowering that even Moses said, I am shaking and full of fear. |
| Hebrews 12:22 | but ye are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable hosts of angels, | but ye have come to mount Zion; and to [the] city of [the] living God, heavenly Jerusalem; and to myriads of angels, | But you have come to the mountain of Zion, to the place of the living God, to the Jerusalem which is in heaven, and to an army of angels which may not be numbered, |
| Hebrews 12:23 | to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, | the universal gathering; and to [the] assembly of the firstborn [who are] registered in heaven; and to God, judge of all; and to [the] spirits of just [men] made perfect; | To the great meeting and church of the first of those who are named in heaven, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of good men made complete, |
| Hebrews 12:24 | and to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaketh better than [that of] Abel. | and to Jesus, mediator of a new covenant; and to [the] blood of sprinkling, speaking better than Abel. | And to Jesus by whom the new agreement has been made between God and man, and to the sign of the blood which says better things than Abel's blood. |
| Hebrews 12:25 | See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not when they refused him that warned [them] on earth, much more [shall not] we [escape] who turn away from him that [warneth] from heaven: | See that ye refuse not him that speaks. For if those did not escape who had refused him who uttered the oracles on earth, much more we who turn away from him [who does so] from heaven: | See that you give ear to his voice which comes to you. For if those whose ears were shut to the voice which came to them on earth did not go free from punishment, what chance have we of going free if we give no attention to him whose voice comes from heaven? |
| Hebrews 12:26 | whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more will I make to tremble not the earth only, but also the heaven. | whose voice then shook the earth; but now he has promised, saying, Yet once will *I* shake not only the earth, but also the heaven. | Whose voice was the cause of the shaking of the earth; but now he has made an oath, saying, There will be still one more shaking, not only of the earth, but of heaven. |
| Hebrews 12:27 | And this [word], Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain. | But this Yet once, signifies the removing of what is shaken, as being made, that what is not shaken may remain. | And the words, Still one more, make it clear that there will be a taking away of those things which are shaking, as of things which are made, so that there may be only those things of which no shaking is possible. |
| Hebrews 12:28 | Wherefore, receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us have grace, whereby we may offer service well-pleasing to God with reverence and awe: | Wherefore let us, receiving a kingdom not to be shaken, have grace, by which let us serve God acceptably with reverence and fear. | If then, we have a kingdom which will never be moved, let us have grace, so that we may give God such worship as is pleasing to him with fear and respect: |
| Hebrews 12:29 | for our God is a consuming fire. | For also our God [is] a consuming fire. | For our God is an all-burning fire. |
