| 12:1 | Wherefore 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, |
| 12:2 | Looking 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. |
| 12:3 | For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. |
| 12:4 | Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. |
| 12:5 | And 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: |
| 12:6 | For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. |
| 12:7 | If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? |
| 12:8 | But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. |
| 12:9 | Furthermore 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? |
| 12:10 | For 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. |
| 12:11 | Now 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. |
| 12:12 | Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; |
| 12:13 | And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. |
| 12:14 | Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: |
| 12:15 | Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; |
| 12:16 | Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. |
| 12:17 | For 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. |
| 12:18 | For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, |
| 12:19 | And 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: |
| 12:20 | (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: |
| 12:21 | And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:) |
| 12:22 | But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, |
| 12:23 | To 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, |
| 12:24 | And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. |
| 12:24 | 並新約的中保耶穌、以及所灑的血．這血所說的比亞伯的血所說的更美。 |
| 12:24 | 并新约的中保耶稣，以及所洒的血。这血所说的比亚伯的血所说的更美。 |
| heb:7:22 | By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. |
| heb:8:6 | But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. |
| heb:9:15 | And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. |
| exo:24:8 | And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these words. |
| heb:9:19 | For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, |
| heb:10:22 | Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. |
| 1pe:1:2 | Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. |
| heb:11:4 | By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. |
| gen:4:10 | And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. |

| 12:25 | See 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: |
| 12:26 | Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. |
| 12:27 | And 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. |
| 12:28 | Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: |
| 12:29 | For our God is a consuming fire. |
