\v 1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a large cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and sin that clings closely to us. Let us patiently run the race that is placed before us.
\v 2 Let us pay attention to Jesus, the beginner and perfecter of faith. For the joy that was placed before him, he endured the cross, despised its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
\v 3 For think of him who has endured such opposition from sinners against himself, so that your hearts do not become discouraged and you give up.
\v 9 Furthermore, we had fathers in the flesh as trainers, and we respected them. Should we not even more so obey the Father of spirits and live?
\v 10 For our fathers indeed trained us for a few days as it seemed right to them. But God does so for our good so that we can share in his holiness.
\v 11 Now all training does not seems pleasant at the time, but it seems painful. But later it produces peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been educated by it.
\v 14 Pursue peace with everyone and the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.
\v 15 Be careful so that no one lacks the grace of God, and that no root of bitterness grows up to cause trouble and through it pollute many.
\v 16 Be careful that there is no sexually immoral or ungodly person such as Esau, who for one meal sold his own birthright.
\v 17 For you know that afterwards, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, because he found no opportunity for repentance, even though he sought for it with tears.
\v 22 Instead, you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to tens of thousands of angels in celebration.
\v 23 You have come to the assembly of all the firstborn registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous ones who have been made perfect.
\v 24 You have come to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks better than the blood of Abel.
\v 25 See that you do not refuse the one who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused the one who warned them on earth, much less us, if we turn away from the one who is warning from heaven.
\v 27 These words, "One more time," mean the removal of those things that can be shaken, that is, of the things that have been created, so that the things that cannot shaken will remain.
\v 28 Therefore, receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be grateful and in this acceptable manner worship God with reverence and awe.
