| Hebrews 12:1 | 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, | Therefore, surrounded as we are by such a vast cloud of witnesses, let us fling aside every encumbrance and the sin that so readily entangles our feet. And let us run with patient endurance the race that lies 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, |
| Hebrews 12:2 | 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. | simply fixing our gaze upon Jesus, our Prince Leader in the faith, who will also award us the prize. He, for the sake of the joy which lay before Him, patiently endured the cross, looking with contempt upon its shame, and afterwards seated Himself where He still sits 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. |
| Hebrews 12:3 | 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. | Therefore, if you would escape becoming weary and faint-hearted, compare your own sufferings with those of Him who endured such hostility directed against Him by sinners. | For consider well him who endured so great contradiction from sinners against himself, that ye be not weary, fainting in your minds. |
| Hebrews 12:4 | Till now you have not given your blood in your fight against sin: | In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted so as to endanger your lives; | Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, wrestling against sin. |
| Hebrews 12:5 | 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; | and you have quite forgotten the encouraging words which are addressed to you as sons, and which say, "My son, do not think lightly of the Lord's discipline, and do not faint when He corrects you; | 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; |
| Hebrews 12:6 | For the Lord sends punishment on his loved ones; everyone whom he takes as his son has experience of his rod. | for those whom the Lord loves He disciplines: and He scourges every son whom He acknowledges." | for whom [the] Lord loves he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives. |
| Hebrews 12:7 | 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? | The sufferings that you are enduring are for your discipline. God is dealing with you as sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline? | Ye endure for chastening, God conducts himself towards you as towards sons; for who is the son that the father chastens not? |
| Hebrews 12:8 | But if you have not that punishment of which we all have our part, then you are not true sons, but children of shame. | And if you are left without discipline, of which every true son has had a share, that shows that you are bastards, and not true sons. | But if ye are without chastening, of which all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. |
| Hebrews 12:9 | 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? | Besides this, our earthly fathers used to discipline us and we treated them with respect, and shall we not be still more submissive to the Father of our 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? |
| Hebrews 12:10 | 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. | It is true that they disciplined us for a few years according as they thought fit; but He does it for our certain good, in order that we may become sharers in His own holy character. | 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. |
| Hebrews 12:11 | 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. | Now, at the time, discipline seems to be a matter not for joy, but for grief; yet it afterwards yields to those who have passed through its training a result full of peace namely, 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. |
| Hebrews 12:12 | For this cause let the hands which are hanging down be lifted up, and let the feeble knees be made strong, | Therefore strengthen the drooping hands and paralysed knees, | Wherefore lift up the hands that hang down, and the failing knees; |
| Hebrews 12:13 | And make straight roads for your feet, so that the feeble may not be turned out of the way, but may be made strong. | and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put entirely out of joint | and make straight paths for your feet, that that which is lame be not turned aside; but that rather it may be healed. |
| Hebrews 12:14 | Let your desire be for peace with all men, and to be made holy, without which no man may see the Lord; | but may rather be restored. Persistently strive for peace with all men, and for that growth in holiness apart from which no one will see the Lord. | Pursue peace with all, and holiness, without which no one shall see the Lord: |
| Hebrews 12:15 | 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; | Be carefully on your guard lest there be any one who falls back from the grace of God; lest any root bearing bitter fruit spring up and cause trouble among you, and through it the whole brotherhood 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; |
| Hebrews 12:16 | 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. | lest there be a fornicator, or an ungodly person like Esau, who, in return for a single meal, parted with the birthright which belonged to him. | lest [there be] any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one meal sold his birthright; |
| Hebrews 12:17 | 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. | For you know that even afterwards, when he wished to secure the blessing, he was rejected; for he found no opportunity for undoing what he had done, though he sought the blessing earnestly 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. |
| Hebrews 12:18 | 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, | For you have not come to a material object all ablaze with fire, and to gloom and darkness and storm and trumpet-blast and the sound of words | For ye have not come to [the mount] that might be touched and was all on fire, and to obscurity, and darkness, and tempest, |
| Hebrews 12:19 | 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: | a sound of such a kind that those who heard it entreated that no more should be added. | and trumpet's sound, and voice of words; which they that heard, excusing themselves, declined [the] word being addressed to them any more: |
| Hebrews 12:20 | For the order which said, If the mountain is touched even by a beast, the beast is to be stoned, seemed hard to them; | For they could not endure the order which had been given, "Even a wild beast, if it touches the mountain, shall be stoned to death;" | (for they were not able to bear what was enjoined: And if a beast should touch the mountain, it shall be stoned; |
| Hebrews 12:21 | And the vision was so overpowering that even Moses said, I am shaking and full of fear. | and so terrible was the scene that Moses said, "I tremble with fear." | and, so fearful was the sight, Moses said, I am exceedingly afraid and full of trembling;) |
| Hebrews 12:22 | 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, | On the contrary you have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the ever-living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to countless 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, |
| Hebrews 12:23 | 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, | to the great festal gathering and Church of the first-born, whose names are recorded in Heaven, and to a Judge who is God of all, and to the spirits of righteous 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; |
| Hebrews 12:24 | 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. | and to Jesus the negotiator of a new Covenant, and to the sprinkled blood which speaks in more gracious tones than that of Abel. | and to Jesus, mediator of a new covenant; and to [the] blood of sprinkling, speaking better than Abel. |
| Hebrews 12:25 | 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? | Be careful not to refuse to listen to Him who is speaking to you. For if they of old did not escape unpunished when they refused to listen to him who spoke on earth, much less shall we escape who turn a deaf ear to Him who now speaks 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: |
| Hebrews 12:26 | 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. | His voice then shook the earth, but now we have His promise, "Yet again I will, once for all, cause not only the earth to tremble, but Heaven also." | 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. |
| Hebrews 12:27 | 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. | Here the words "Yet again, once for all" denote the removal of the things which can be shaken created things in order that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. | But this Yet once, signifies the removing of what is shaken, as being made, that what is not shaken may remain. |
| Hebrews 12:28 | 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: | Therefore, receiving, as we now do, a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us cherish thankfulness so that we may ever offer to God an acceptable service, with godly 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. |
| Hebrews 12:29 | For our God is an all-burning fire. | For our God is also a consuming fire. | For also our God [is] a consuming fire. |
