ABP - Hebrews - 12

12:1  Accordingly also, we [2so great 1having 5encompassing 6us 3a cloud 4of witnesses], [3swelling 1having put aside 2every] and accessible sin, through endurance let us run the [2being situated before 3us 1struggle],

12:2  looking to [2the 6of the 7belief 3head 4and 5perfection 1Jesus], who, instead of the [2being situated before 3him 1joy], endured the cross, [2the shame 1disdaining], [2at 3the right 1and] of the throne of God has sat.

12:3  For consider the cost by the one [2such 1enduring 6by 7the 8sinners 4against 5him 3dispute], that you should not weary [2in 3your souls 1fainting].

12:4  Not yet unto blood have you stood firm [2against 3sin 1struggling],

12:5  and you have been totally forgotten of the exhortation, which [2to you 3as 4to sons 1he reasons], saying, O my son, do not have little regard for the instruction of the Lord, nor be enfeebled [2by 3him 1being reproved]!

12:6  For whom the Lord loves he corrects, and he whips every son whom he welcomes.

12:7  If [2discipline 1you endure], [4as 5sons 3to you 2brings discipline 1God]; for who is the son whom [2does not 3correct 1a father]?

12:8  And if you are without the help of instruction, of which [3partakers 2have become 1all], then you are illegitimate and not sons.

12:9  So then indeed, of the [3flesh 2of our 1fathers] we have correctors, and we show respect; [2not 4much 5more 1shall we 3be] submitted to the father of the spirits, and we shall live?

12:10  [2they 3indeed 1For] for a few days, as it seemed good to them, corrected; but he does so for the advantage, for us to share in his sanctity.

12:11  But any discipline by indeed the hand does not seem to be joy, but distress; but afterwards [3fruit 2peaceable 5to the ones 7by 8it 6having been exercised 1it renders 4of righteousness].

12:12  Therefore the weakened hands and the disabled knees re-erect!

12:13  And [3tracks 2straight 1make] to your feet! that [4not 1the 2lame 3should] be turned aside, [3should be healed 1but 2rather]!

12:14  [2peace 1Pursue] with all, and the sanctification! apart from which no one shall see the Lord;

12:15  overseeing, lest any lack of the favor of God; lest any root of bitterness [2upward 1germinating] should be trouble, and through this [2should be defiled 1many];

12:16  lest there be any fornicator or profane person as Esau, who for [2of food 1one portion] delivered over his rights of the first-born.

12:17  For you understand that also afterwards wanting to inherit the blessing, he was rejected; [5for repentance 1for 3place 2no 4was found], though with tears he sought it.

12:18  [3not 1For 2you have] come forward to [2being handled 1the mountain] and being kindled with fire, and to dimness, and to darkness, and to storm,

12:19  and to the trumpet's sound, and to the voice of utterances, of which the ones hearing asked pardon [2to not 3proceed 4to them 1for the word];

12:20  [2they could not 3bear 1for] the giving of orders, saying, And if a beast should touch lightly upon the mountain, it shall be stoned, or [2an arrow 1shot with].

12:21  And so fearful was the visible display, Moses said, I am frightened and trembling.

12:22  But you have come forward to mount Zion, and the city of the living God, heavenly Jerusalem; and to myriads of angels,

12:23  to the festival and to the assembly of the first-born [2in 3the heavens 1having been registered], and to God the judge of all, and to spirits of the righteous having been perfected,

12:24  and [4covenant 3of a new 2the mediator 1Jesus], and to the blood of sprinkling, [2better 1speaking] than the one of Abel.

12:25  Take heed that you should not refuse the one speaking! For if those did not flee escaping, [2the one 4upon 5earth 1refusing 3receiving a divine message], how much more we the ones [2the one 3from 4heavens 1turning away],

12:26  of whose voice the earth shook then; but now he has promised, saying, Still once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heaven.

12:27  And the saying, Still once more, manifests [3of the things 4being shaken 1the 2transposition], as things being made, that [4should abide 1the things 2not 3being shaken].

12:28  Therefore [2a kingdom 3unshaken 1receiving], we should have favor by which we should serve [2pleasantly 1God] with respect and veneration.

12:29  For even our God [2fire 1is a consuming].
