A Large Crowd of Witnesses
Such a large crowd of witnesses is all around us! So we must get rid of everything that slows us down, especially the sin that just won't let go. And we must be determined to run the race that is ahead of us.
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,
2 We must keep our eyes on Jesus, who leads us and makes our faith complete. He endured the shame of being nailed to a cross, because he knew later on he would be glad he did. Now he is seated at the right side of God's throne! 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.
3 So keep your mind on Jesus, who put up with many insults from sinners. Then you won't get discouraged and give up. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
4 None of you have yet been hurt in your battle against sin. Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
5 But you have forgotten that the Scriptures say to God's children, “When the Lord punishes you, don't make light of it, and when he corrects you, don't be discouraged. 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:
6 The Lord corrects the people he loves and disciplines those he calls his own.” For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
7 Be patient when you are being corrected! This is how God treats his children. Don't all parents correct their children? If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
8 God corrects all his children, and if he doesn't correct you, then you don't really belong to him. But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
9 Our earthly fathers correct us, and we still respect them. Isn't it even better to be given true life by letting our spiritual Father correct us? 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?
10 Our human fathers correct us for a short time, and they do it as they think best. But God corrects us for our own good, because he wants us to be holy, as he is. 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.
11 It is never fun to be corrected. In fact, at the time it is always painful. But if we learn to obey by being corrected, we will do right and live at peace. 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 Now stand up straight! Stop your knees from shaking Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
13 and walk a straight path. Then lame people will be healed, instead of getting worse. And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
14
Warning against Turning from God
Try to live at peace with everyone! Live a clean life. If you don't, you will never see the Lord.
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
15 Make sure no one misses out on God's wonderful kindness. Don't let anyone become bitter and cause trouble for the rest of you. 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;
16 Watch out for immoral and ungodly people like Esau, who sold his future blessing for only one meal. Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
17 You know how he later wanted it back. But there was nothing he could do to change things, even though he begged his father and cried. 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.
18 You have not come to a place like Mount Sinai that can be seen and touched. There is no flaming fire or dark cloud or storm For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
19 or trumpet sound. The people of Israel heard a voice speak. But they begged it to stop, 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:
20 because they could not obey its commands. They were even told to kill any animal that touched the mountain. (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:
21 The sight was so frightening that Moses said he shook with fear. And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)
22 You have now come to Mount Zion and to the heavenly Jerusalem. This is the city of the living God, where thousands and thousands of angels have come to celebrate. 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,
23 Here you will find all of God's dearest children, whose names are written in heaven. And you will find God himself, who judges everyone. Here also are the spirits of those good people who have been made perfect. 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,
24 And Jesus is here! He is the one who makes God's new agreement with us, and his sprinkled blood says much better things than the blood of Abel. And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
25 Make sure you obey the one who speaks to you. The people did not escape, when they refused to obey the one who spoke to them at Mount Sinai. Do you think you can possibly escape, if you refuse to obey the one who speaks to you from heaven? 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:
26 When God spoke the first time, his voice shook only the earth. This time he has promised to shake the earth once again, and heaven too. Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27 The words “once again” mean that these created things will someday be shaken and removed. Then what cannot be shaken will last. 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.
28 We should be grateful we were given a kingdom that cannot be shaken. And in this kingdom we please God by worshiping him and by showing him great honor and respect. Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 Our God is like a destructive fire! For our God is a consuming fire.
