1 For what reason seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which does so easily beset [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Yeshua [God is Salvation] the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the stake (cross), despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God-The Father.
3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest you2f be wearied and give up in your minds.
