- 1Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us 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,Τοιγαροῦν καὶ ἡμεῖς τοσοῦτον ἔχοντες περικείμενον ἡμῖν νέφος μαρτύρων ὄγκον ἀποθέμενοι πάντα καὶ τὴν εὐπερίστατον ἁμαρτίαν δι’ ὑπομονῆς τρέχωμεν τὸν προκείμενον ἡμῖν ἀγῶνα
- 2Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.ἀφορῶντες εἰς τὸν τῆς πίστεως ἀρχηγὸν καὶ τελειωτὴν Ἰησοῦν ὃς ἀντὶ τῆς προκειμένης αὐτῷ χαρᾶς ὑπέμεινεν σταυρὸν αἰσχύνης καταφρονήσας ἐν δεξιᾷ τε τοῦ θρόνου τοῦ θεοῦ κεκάθικεν
- 3For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.Ἀναλογίσασθε γὰρ τὸν τοιαύτην ὑπομεμενηκότα ὑπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτωλῶν εἰς ⸀ἑαυτοὺς ἀντιλογίαν ἵνα μὴ κάμητε ταῖς ψυχαῖς ὑμῶν
- 4Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.οὔπω αἵματος ἀντικατέστητε πρὸς τὴν ἁμαρτίαν ἀνταγωνιζόμενοι
- 5And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:καὶ τῆς παρακλήσεως ἥτις ὑμῖν ὡς υἱοῖς διαλέγεται Υἱέ μου μὴ ὀλιγώρει παιδείας κυρίου μηδὲ ὑπ’ αὐτοῦ ἐλεγχόμενος
- 6For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.ὃν γὰρ ἀγαπᾷ κύριος παιδεύει μαστιγοῖ δὲ πάντα υἱὸν ὃν παραδέχεται
- 7If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?εἰς παιδείαν ὑπομένετε ὡς υἱοῖς ὑμῖν προσφέρεται ὁ θεός τίς ⸀γὰρ υἱὸς ὃν οὐ παιδεύει πατήρ
- 8But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.εἰ δὲ χωρίς ἐστε παιδείας ἧς μέτοχοι γεγόνασι πάντες ἄρα νόθοι ⸂καὶ οὐχ υἱοί ἐστε⸃
- 9Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?εἶτα τοὺς μὲν τῆς σαρκὸς ἡμῶν πατέρας εἴχομεν παιδευτὰς καὶ ἐνετρεπόμεθα οὐ ⸀πολὺ μᾶλλον ὑποταγησόμεθα τῷ πατρὶ τῶν πνευμάτων καὶ ζήσομεν
- 10For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.οἱ μὲν γὰρ πρὸς ὀλίγας ἡμέρας κατὰ τὸ δοκοῦν αὐτοῖς ἐπαίδευον ὁ δὲ ἐπὶ τὸ συμφέρον εἰς τὸ μεταλαβεῖν τῆς ἁγιότητος αὐτοῦ
- 11Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.πᾶσα ⸀δὲ παιδεία πρὸς μὲν τὸ παρὸν οὐ δοκεῖ χαρᾶς εἶναι ἀλλὰ λύπης ὕστερον δὲ καρπὸν εἰρηνικὸν τοῖς δι’ αὐτῆς γεγυμνασμένοις ἀποδίδωσιν δικαιοσύνης
- 12Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;Διὸ τὰς παρειμένας χεῖρας καὶ τὰ γόνατα ἀνορθώσατε
- 13And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.καὶ τροχιὰς ὀρθὰς ⸀ποιεῖτε τοῖς ποσὶν ὑμῶν ἵνα μὴ τὸ χωλὸν ἰαθῇ δὲ μᾶλλον
- 14Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:Εἰρήνην διώκετε μετὰ πάντων καὶ τὸν ἁγιασμόν οὗ χωρὶς οὐδεὶς ὄψεται τὸν κύριον
- 15Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; fail...; or, fall fromἐπισκοποῦντες μή ὑστερῶν ἀπὸ τῆς χάριτος τοῦ θεοῦ μή ῥίζα πικρίας ἄνω φύουσα ἐνοχλῇ καὶ ⸂δι’ αὐτῆς⸃ μιανθῶσιν ⸀πολλοί
- 16Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.μή πόρνος ἢ βέβηλος ὡς Ἠσαῦ ὃς ἀντὶ βρώσεως μιᾶς ἀπέδετο τὰ πρωτοτόκια ⸀ἑαυτοῦ
- 17For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.γὰρ ὅτι καὶ μετέπειτα θέλων κληρονομῆσαι τὴν εὐλογίαν ἀπεδοκιμάσθη μετανοίας γὰρ τόπον οὐχ εὗρεν καίπερ μετὰ ἐκζητήσας αὐτήν
- 18For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,Οὐ γὰρ προσεληλύθατε ⸀ψηλαφωμένῳ καὶ κεκαυμένῳ πυρὶ καὶ γνόφῳ καὶ ⸀ζόφῳ καὶ θυέλλῃ
- 19And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:καὶ σάλπιγγος ἤχῳ καὶ φωνῇ ῥημάτων ἧς οἱ ἀκούσαντες παρῃτήσαντο ⸀μὴ προστεθῆναι αὐτοῖς λόγον
- 20(For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:οὐκ ἔφερον γὰρ τὸ διαστελλόμενον Κἂν θηρίον θίγῃ τοῦ ὄρους λιθοβοληθήσεται
- 21And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)καί φοβερὸν ἦν τὸ εἶπεν Ἔκφοβός εἰμι καὶ ἔντρομος
- 22But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,ἀλλὰ προσεληλύθατε Σιὼν ὄρει καὶ πόλει θεοῦ ζῶντος ἐπουρανίῳ καὶ μυριάσιν ἀγγέλων πανηγύρει
- 23To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,καὶ ἐκκλησίᾳ πρωτοτόκων ⸂ἀπογεγραμμένων ἐν οὐρανοῖς⸃ καὶ κριτῇ θεῷ πάντων καὶ πνεύμασι δικαίων τετελειωμένων
- 24And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.καὶ διαθήκης νέας μεσίτῃ Ἰησοῦ καὶ αἵματι ῥαντισμοῦ κρεῖττον λαλοῦντι παρὰ τὸν
- 25See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:Βλέπετε μὴ παραιτήσησθε τὸν λαλοῦντα εἰ γὰρ ἐκεῖνοι οὐκ ⸀ἐξέφυγον ⸂ἐπὶ γῆς παραιτησάμενοι τὸν⸃ χρηματίζοντα ⸀πολὺ μᾶλλον ἡμεῖς οἱ τὸν ἀπ’ οὐρανῶν ἀποστρεφόμενοι
- 26Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.οὗ ἡ φωνὴ τὴν γῆν ἐσάλευσεν τότε νῦν δὲ λέγων Ἔτι ἅπαξ ἐγὼ ⸀σείσω οὐ μόνον τὴν γῆν ἀλλὰ καὶ τὸν οὐρανόν
- 27And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.τὸ δὲ Ἔτι ἅπαξ δηλοῖ ⸂τῶν σαλευομένων⸃ μετάθεσιν ὡς πεποιημένων ἵνα μείνῃ τὰ μὴ σαλευόμενα
- 28Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:διὸ βασιλείαν ἀσάλευτον παραλαμβάνοντες ἔχωμεν χάριν δι’ ἧς ⸀λατρεύωμεν εὐαρέστως τῷ θεῷ μετὰ ⸂εὐλαβείας καὶ
- 29For our God is a consuming fire.καὶ γὰρ ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν πῦρ καταναλίσκον
