1Therefore, since we also have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, laying aside every weight and the sin that so easily entangles, let us run with endurance the race set before us,

2fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

3For consider the one who endured such opposition from sinners against himself, so that you may not grow weary, becoming discouraged in your souls.
