12Hebrews 12

1Wherfore let vs also (seynge that we are copased with so great a multitude of witnesses) laye awaye all that presseth doune and the synne that hageth on and let vs rune with paciece vnto the battayle yt is set before vsSelect Hebrews 12:1

2lokynge vnto Iesus the auctor and fynnyssher of oure fayth which for the ioye that was set before him abode the crosse and despysed the shame and is set doune on the right honde of ye trone of God.Select Hebrews 12:2

3Consider therfore how that he endured suche speakinge agaynst him of synners lest ye shuld be weried and faynte in youre myndes.Select Hebrews 12:3

4For ye have not yet resisted vnto bloud sheddinge stryvinge agaynst synne.Select Hebrews 12:4

5And ye have forgotten the consolacion which speaketh vnto you as vnto chyldren: My sonne despyse not the chastenynge of the Lorde nether faynt when thou arte rebuked of him:Select Hebrews 12:5

6For whom the Lorde loveth him he chasteneth: yee and he scourgeth every sonne that he receaveth.Select Hebrews 12:6

7Yf ye endure chastninge God offereth him selfe vnto you as vnto sonnes. What sonne is that whom the father chasteneth not?Select Hebrews 12:7

8If ye be not vnder correccio (where of all are part takers) then are ye bastardes and not sonnes.Select Hebrews 12:8

9Moreover seynge we had fathers of oure flesshe which corrected vs and we gave them reverence: shuld we not moche rather be in subieccion vnto the father of spretuall gyftes that we myght live?Select Hebrews 12:9

10And they verely for a feaue dayes nurtred vs after their awne pleasure: but he learneth vs vnto that which is proffitable that we myght receave of his holines.Select Hebrews 12:10

11No manner chastisynge for the present tyme semeth to be ioyeous but greveous: neverthelesse afterwarde it bryngeth the quyet frute of rightewesnes vnto them which are therin exercysed.Select Hebrews 12:11

12Stretch forthe therfore agayne the hondes which were let doune and the weake kneesSelect Hebrews 12:12

13and se that ye have strayght steppes vnto youre fete lest eny haltinge turne out of ye waye: yee let it rather be healed.Select Hebrews 12:13

14Embrace peace with all men and holynes: with out the which no man shall se the Lorde.Select Hebrews 12:14

15And looke to that no man be destitue of the grace of God and that no rote of bitternes springe vp and trouble and therby many be defiled:Select Hebrews 12:15

16and that there be no fornicator or vnclene person as Esau which for one breakfast solde his birthright.Select Hebrews 12:16

17Ye knowe how that afterwarde when he wolde have inherited the blessinge he was put by and he foude no meanes to come therby agayne: no though he desyred it with teares.Select Hebrews 12:17

18For ye are not come vnto the mounte that can be touched and vnto burninge fyre nor yet to myst and darcknes and tempest of wedderSelect Hebrews 12:18

19nether vnto the sounde of a trope and the voyce of wordes: which voyce they that hearde it wisshed awaye that the comunicacion shuld not be spoken to them.Select Hebrews 12:19

20For they were not able to abyde that which was spoken. If a beast had touched the mountayne it must have bene stoned or thrust thorowe with a darte:Select Hebrews 12:20

21eve so terreble was ye sight which appered. Moses sayde I feare and quake.Select Hebrews 12:21

22But ye are come vnto the moute Sion and to the citie of the livinge god the celestiall Ierusalem: and to an innumerable sight of angelsSelect Hebrews 12:22

23and vnto the congregacion of ye fyrst borne sonnes which are writte in heven and to God the iudge of all and to the spretes of iust and parfecte menSelect Hebrews 12:23

24and to Iesus the mediator of the newe testament and to the spryncklynge of bloud that speaketh better then the bloud of Abell.Select Hebrews 12:24

25Se that ye despise not him yt speaketh. For yf they escaped not which refused him that spake on erth: moche more shall we not escape yf we turne awaye fro him yt speaketh fro heve:Select Hebrews 12:25

26whose voyce the shouke the erth and now declareth sayinge: yet once more will I shake not the erth only but also heven.Select Hebrews 12:26

27No dout yt same that he sayth yet once more signifieth the removinge a waye of those thinges which are shaken as of thinges which have ended their course: that the thynges which are not shaken maye remayne.Select Hebrews 12:27

28Wherfore if we receave a kyngdom which is not moved we have grace wherby we maye serve god and please him with reverence and godly feare.Select Hebrews 12:28

29For oure god is a consumynge fyre.Select Hebrews 12:29
