32 And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of nGedeon, and of oBarak, and of pSamson, and of qJephthae; of rDavid also, and stSamuel, and of tthe prophets: 33 Who through faith usubdued kingdoms, vwrought righteousness, wobtained promises, xstopped the mouths of lions, 34 yQuenched the violence of fire, zescaped athe edge of the sword, bout of weakness cwere made strong, dwaxed valiant in fight, dturned to flight ethe armies of fthe aliens. 35 gWomen received their dead raised to life again: and others hwere tortured, inot accepting deliverance; kthat they might obtain la better resurrection: 36 And others had trial of cruel mmockings and nscourgings, yea, moreover of obonds and imprisonment: 37 They were pstoned, they were qsawn asunder, were tempted, rwere slain with the sword: they wandered about sin sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, ttormented; 38 u(Of whom the world was not worthy:) vthey wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and win xdens and xxcaves of the earth. 39 And these all, yhaving obtained a good report through faith, zreceived not the promise: 40 God having ||provided some lbetter thing for us, athat they without us should not be bmade perfect.

12 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, alet us lay aside every weight, and bthe sin which doth so easily beset us, and clet us run dwith patience ethe race that is fset before us, 2 Looking unto Jesus the ||author and gfinisher of our faith; hwho for ithe joy that was fset before him endured kthe cross, despising lthe shame, and mis set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 For nconsider him that endured such ocontradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye oobe wearied and pfaint in your minds.

4 Ye have not yet resisted qunto blood, striving against sin. 5 And ye have forgotten rthe exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, sMy son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor pfaint when thou art rebuked of him: 6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and tscourgeth every son whom he receiveth. 7 If ye endure chastening, uGod dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father vchasteneth not? 8 But if ye be without chastisement, wwhereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. 9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we xgave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto ythe Father of spirits, and live? 10 For they verily for a few days chastened us ||after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, zthat we might be partakers of his holiness. 11 Now no chastening afor the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth bthe peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are cexercised thereby.
