| Hebrews 12:1 | Therefore let us also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before 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 | looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. | 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 | For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don't grow weary, fainting in your souls. | 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 | You have not yet resisted to blood, striving 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 forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with sons, "My son, don't take lightly the chastening of the Lord, Nor faint when you are reproved 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 whom the Lord loves, he chastens, And scourges every son whom he receives." | 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 discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with sons, for what son is there whom his father doesn't discipline? | 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 are without discipline, whereof all have been made partakers, then are you illegitimate, and not sons. | 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 | Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live? | 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 indeed, for a few days, punished us as seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness. | 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 | All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised thereby. | 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 | Therefore, lift up the hands that hang down and the feeble knees, | 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 paths for your feet, that that which is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed. | 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 | Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will 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 carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby the many be defiled; | 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 | lest there be any sexually immoral person, or profane person, as Esau, who sold his birthright for one meal. | 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 know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for a change of mind though he sought it diligently with tears. | 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 12:19 | the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which those who heard it begged that not one more word should be spoken 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 they could not stand that which was enjoined, "If even a animal touch the mountain, it will be stoned;" | 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 so fearful was the appearance, that Moses said, "I am terrified and trembling." | 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 Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable hosts of angels, | 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 general assembly and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, to God, the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, | 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 | to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than that of Abel. | 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 don't refuse him who speaks. For if they didn't escape when they refused him who warned on the Earth, how much more will we not escape who turn away from him who warns 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 shook the earth, then, but now he has promised, saying, "Yet once more will I shake not only the earth, but also the heavens." | 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 | This phrase, "Yet once more," signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain. | 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 | Therefore, receiving a kingdom that can't be shaken, let us have grace, whereby we may offer service well pleasing to God, with reverence and awe, | 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 a consuming fire. | For our God is also a consuming fire. | For also our God [is] a consuming fire. |
