Hebrews 12:1

---

← Hebrews 11:40	Hebrews 12:1 (KJV)	Hebrews 12:2 →
God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.	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,	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.
