Hebrews 12:1-3
New King James Version (NKJV)
The Race of Faith
12 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by
so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily
ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before
us, 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 has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
The Discipline of God
3 For
consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and
discouraged in your souls.
