CHAP. XII. 1 He doeth not onely by the examples of the Fathers before recited, exhort them to patience and constancie, 3 but also by the example of Christ. 11 That the chastenings of God can not be rightly iudged by the outwarde sense of our flesh.


1   Wherefore, note note let vs also, seeing that we are compassed with so great a cloude of witnesses, cast away euery thing þt; presseth downe, and the sinne that note hangeth so fast on: let vs runne with patience the race that is set before vs,


2    note noteLooking vnto Iesus the authour and finisher of our faith, who for the note ioy that was set before him, endured the crosse, and despised the shame, and is set at the right hand of the throne of God.


3    noteConsider therefore him that endured such speaking against of sinners, lest ye should be wearied and faint in your mindes.


4    noteYe haue not yet resisted vnto blood, striuing against sinne.


5    noteAnd ye haue forgotten the consolation, which speaketh vnto you as vnto children, note My sonne, despise not the chastening of the Lord, neither faint when thou art rebuked of him.


6   For whom the Lord loueth, he chasteneth: and he scourgeth euery sonne that he receiueth:


7   If ye endure chastening, God offereth him selfe vnto you as vnto sonnes: for what sonne is it whom the father chasteneth not?


8   If therefore ye be without correction, whereof al are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sonnes.


9    noteMoreouer we haue had the fathers of our bodies which corrected vs, and we gaue them reuerence: should we not much rather be in subiection vnto the father of spirites, that we might liue?


10    noteFor they verely for a few dayes chastened

-- --

Iesus the Mediatour. vs after their owne pleasure: but he chasteneth vs for our profite, that we might be partakers of his holinesse.


11   Now no chastising for the present seemeth to be ioyous, but, grieuous: but afterwarde, it bringeth the quiet fruite of righteousnesse, vnto them which are thereby exercised.


12    noteWherfore lift vp your hands which note hang downe, and your weake knees,


13   And make note straight steppes vnto your feete, lest that which is halting, be turned out of the way, but let it rather be healed.


14    note noteFollowe peace with all men, and holinesse, without the which no man shall see þe; Lord.


15    noteTake heede, that no man fall away from the grace of God: let no note roote of bitternes spring vp and trouble you, lest thereby many be defiled.


16    noteLet there be no fornicator, or prophane person as note Esau, which for one portion of meate solde his birthright.


17    noteFor ye knowe howe that afterwarde also when he woulde haue inherited the blessing, he was reiected: for he founde no note place to repentance, though he sought that blessing with teares.


18    noteFor ye are not come vnto the note mount that might be note touched, nor vnto burning fire, nor to blacknes and darkenes, and tempest,


19   Neither vnto the sounde of a trumpet, and the voyce of wordes, which they that heard it, excused themselues, note that the word should not be spoken to them any more,


20   (For they were not able to abide þt; which was commaunded, note yea, though a beast touche the mountaine, it shalbe stoned, or thrust through with a dart:


21   And so terrible was the note sight which appeared, that Moses said, I feare and quake.)


22   But ye are come vnto the mount Sion, and to the citie of the liuing God, the celestiall Hierusalem, and to þe; company of innumerable Angels,


23   And to the assemblie and congregation of the first borne, which are written in heauen, and to God the iudge of all, and to the spirits of iust and note perfite men,


24   And to Iesus the Mediatour of the new Testament, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaketh better things then that of Abel.


25    noteSee that ye despise not him þt; speaketh: for if they escaped not which refused him, that spake on earth: much more shall we not escape, if we turne away from him, that speaketh fr&obar; heauen.


26    noteWhose voyce then shooke the earth and nowe hath declared, saying, note note Yet once more will I shake, not the earth onely, but also heauen.


27   And this worde, Yet once more, signifieth the remouing of those things which are shaken, as of things which are made with hands, that the things which are not shaken, may remaine.


28    noteWherefore seeing we receiue a kingdome, Sundry exhortations. which cannot be shaken, let vs haue grace whereby we may so serue God, that we may please him with note reuerence and note feare.


29   For note euen our God is a consuming fire.
