- 12:2 Let us keep our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer who leads the way in faith and brings it to perfection. For the sake of the joy that lay ahead of him, he endured a cross and counted its shame as nothing, and he has taken his seat at the right hand of God's throne. 40
- 12:14 Seek peace with everyone, and go after holiness, since apart from it no one will see the Lord. 24
- 12:1 So then, since we too have so vast a cloud of witnesses all around us, let us strip off every burden, and the sin that wraps itself around us so readily, and let us run the race laid out ahead of us, and run it with endurance. 22
- 12:6 Those whom the Lord loves, he disciplines, and he brings the whip down on every son he takes as his own." 13
- 12:10 Those fathers disciplined us for a short span of years, in whatever way seemed right to them. God does it for what truly benefits us, so that we may come to share in his holiness. 13
- 12:11 At the time it is given, no discipline seems a matter for joy; it seems a matter for sorrow. But afterward it pays back those who have been trained by it with a harvest of peace: righteousness. 11
- 12:24 and Jesus, mediator of a new covenant, and blood sprinkled for cleansing, which says something better than Abel said. 11
- 12:22 No: you have approached Mount Zion, the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have approached myriads of angels, a festival gathering 10
- 12:23 and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven. You have approached a judge who is God of all, and the spirits of righteous people who have been made perfect, 10
- 12:29 For our God really is a consuming fire. 9
- 12:15 Watch over one another, so that none of you comes short of God's grace, no bitter root shoots up and causes trouble, defiling many through it, 7
- 12:25 Be careful not to refuse the one who is speaking to you. They rejected the one who warned them on earth, and they did not escape. Far less will we escape if we turn our backs on the one who warns us from heaven. 7
- 12:5 And you have forgotten the encouraging word that speaks to you as children: "My son, do not shrug off the Lord's discipline, and do not give way when he corrects you. 5
- 12:16 and no one is sexually immoral or without regard for what is holy, as Esau was. He gave up his rights as the firstborn in exchange for one meal. 4
- 12:28 So, as people who are being given a kingdom that nothing can shake, let us hold on to gratitude, and through it serve God in a way that pleases him, with reverence and awe. 4
- 12:7 What you endure, you endure as discipline. God is dealing with you as children; and what child is there that a father does not discipline? 3
- 12:8 If you go without the discipline that all children share in, then you are illegitimate, not true children. 3
- 12:9 Again: our human fathers corrected us, and we held them in respect. Should we not much more put ourselves under the Father of spirits, and so live? 3
- 12:27 That phrase, "one more time," makes clear that whatever is shaken will be removed, since it belongs to what was made, so that what is not shaken will remain. 3
- 12:3 Weigh up what he endured: such hostility from sinners, who were really working against themselves. Then you will not wear out and let your spirits give way. 2
- 12:18 You have not approached a mountain that could be touched, ablaze with fire, nor darkness and gloom and storm, 2
- 12:20 The order was more than they could bear: "Even an animal that touches the mountain must be stoned." 2
- 12:21 What appeared was so fearsome that Moses said, "I am full of dread, and I am shaking." 2
- 12:12 So raise your tired hands again and steady your shaking knees. 1
- 12:17 You know that later, when he wanted to receive the blessing as his inheritance, he was turned away. He found no opening for repentance, even though he begged for it with tears. 1
