вЂќ 21 Indeed, d so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, вЂњ I tremble with fear. 20 For they could not endure the order that was given, c вЂњ If even a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned. A Kingdom That Cannot Be ShakenДЎ8 For you have not come to z what may be touched, a blazing fire and darkness and gloom and a tempest 19 and a the sound of a trumpet and a voice whose words b made the hearers beg that no further messages be spoken to them. 17 For you know that y afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought it with tears. 15 See to it that no one v fails to obtain the grace of God that no w вЂњ root of bitterness вЂќ springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled 16 that no one is x sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal. 14 s Strive for peace with everyone, and for the t holiness u without which no one will see the Lord. ДЎ2 Therefore p lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, 13 and q make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint r but rather be healed. 11 n For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields o the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. Shall we not much more be subject to k the Father of spirits l and live ? 10 For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, m that we may share his holiness. 9 Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline ? 8 If you are left without discipline, j in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. вЂќД§ It is for discipline that you have to endure. 5 And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons ?ДЇ вЂњ My son, g do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord ,Д¦ For h the Lord disciplines the one he loves ,ДЄnd chastises every son whom he receives. 4 In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. Do Not Grow WearyДЈ d Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or e fainthearted. Jesus, Founder and Perfecter of Our FaithДЎ2 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and w sin which clings so closely, and x let us run y with endurance the race that is z set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, a who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising b the shame, and c is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
