THEREFORE
SINCE WE ARE SURROUNDED
BY
SUCH A GREAT CLOUD OF WITNESSES,
LET
US THROW OFF EVERYTHING THAT HINDERS
AND
THE SIN THAT SO EASILY ENTANGLES,
AND
LET US RUN WITH PERSEVERANCE THE RACE
MARKED
OUT FOR US.
LET US FIX OUR EYES ON JESUS,
THE
AUTHOR AND PERFECTER OF OUR FAITH,
WHO
FOR THE JOY SET BEFORE HIM ENDURED THE CROSS,
SCORNING
ITS SHAME,
AND
SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE THRONE OF GOD.
CONSIDER HIM WHO ENDURED SUCH OPPOSITION FROM SINFUL MEN,
SO
THAT YOU WILL NOT GROW WEARY AND LOSE HEART.
IN YOUR STRUGGLE AGAINST SIN, YOU HAVE NOT YET RESISTED
TO
THE POINT OF SHEDDING YOUR BLOOD.
(Hebrews
12:1-4)
