1 Therefore we that have so great a cloud of witnesses put to [us], do we away all charge, and sin standing about us, and by patience run we to the battle, [or the strife, or fight], purposed to us,
2 beholding into the maker of faith, and the perfect ender, Jesus; which when joy was purposed to him, he suffered the cross, and despised confusion, and sitteth on the right half of the seat of God.
3 And bethink ye on him that suffered such gainsaying of sinful men against himself, that ye be not made weary, failing in your souls.
