XII.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, ²looking 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. ³For ⁿconsider him that endured such ^ocontradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye ^oobe wearied and ^pfaint in your minds.

⁴Ye have not yet resisted ^qunto blood, striving against sin.
