Hebreus 12

1 Therefore, we also having so great a cloud of witnesses set around us, having put off every weight, and the closely besetting sin, may we run the contest that is set before us through endurance, 2 looking to the Author and Perfecter of the faith—Jesus, who, for the joy set before Him, endured a cross, having despised shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God; 3 for again consider Him who endured such contradiction from the sinners to Himself, that you may not be wearied in your souls—being faint.
