Hebrews 12:2

---

← Hebrews 12:1	Hebrews 12:2 (KJV)	Hebrews 12:3 →
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.	For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
