The Race of Faith
12 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, (A)let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and (B)let us run (C)with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the [a]author and [b]finisher of our faith, (D)who for the joy that was set before Him (E)endured the cross, despising the shame, and (F)has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Hold Fast Your Confession
19 Therefore, brethren, having (A)boldness[a] to enter (B)the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and (C)living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, 21 and having a High Priest over the house of God, 22 let us (D)draw near with a true heart (E)in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for (F)He who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 25 (G)not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and (H)so much the more as you see (I)the Day approaching.
The Just Live by Faith
26 For (J)if we sin willfully (K)after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there (L)no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and (M)fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. 28 Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three (N)witnesses. 29 (O)Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, (P)counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, (Q)and insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know Him who said, (R)“Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” [b]says the Lord. And again, (S)“The Lord will judge His people.” 31 (T)It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 But (U)recall the former days in which, after you were [c]illuminated, you endured a great struggle with sufferings: 33 partly while you were made (V)a spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations, and partly while (W)you became companions of those who were so treated; 34 for you had compassion on [d]me (X)in my chains, and (Y)joyfully accepted the plundering of your [e]goods, knowing that (Z)you have a better and an enduring possession for yourselves [f]in heaven. 35 Therefore do not cast away your confidence, (AA)which has great reward. 36 (AB)For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, (AC)you may receive the promise:
37 “For (AD)yet a little while,
And (AE)He[g] who is coming will come and will not [h]tarry.
38 Now (AF)the[i] just shall live by faith;
But if anyone draws back,
My soul has no pleasure in him.”
39 But we are not of those (AG)who draw back to [j]perdition, but of those who (AH)believe to the saving of the soul.

12 Therefore Jesus also, that He might [a]sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate. 13 Therefore let us go forth to Him, outside the camp, bearing (A)His reproach. 14 For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one to come. 15 (B)Therefore by Him let us continually offer (C)the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, (D)the fruit of our lips, [b]giving thanks to His name. 16 (E)But do not forget to do good and to share, for (F)with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

New King James Version
Hear the Heavenly Voice
25 See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For (A)if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, 26 whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, (B)“Yet once more I [a]shake not only the earth, but also heaven.” 27 Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the (C)removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we [b]may (D)serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.

Renew Your Spiritual Vitality(A)
12 Therefore (B)strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, 13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
14 (C)Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, (D)without which no one will see the Lord: 15 looking carefully lest anyone (E)fall short of the grace of God; lest any (F)root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled; 16 lest there be any (G)fornicator or [a]profane person like Esau, (H)who for one morsel of food sold his birthright.
