Jesus, Founder and Perfecter of Our Faith

1Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and hsin which clings so closely, and ilet us run jwith endurance the race that is kset before us, 2looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, lwho for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising mthe shame, and nis seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

Do Not Grow Weary

Patience in Suffering

7Be patient, therefore, brothers, ▼
▼Or  brothers and sisters; also verses 9, 10, 12, 19
 until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives uthe early and the late rains. 8You also, be patient. vEstablish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord wis at hand. 9Do not grumble against one another, brothers, xso that you may not be judged; behold, ythe Judge is standing zat the door. 10As an example of suffering and patience, brothers, take aathe prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. 11Behold, we consider those blessed who remained steadfast. You have heard of abthe steadfastness of Job, and you have seen acthe purpose of the Lord, how adthe Lord is compassionate and merciful.

10 ajIf anyone is to be taken captive,
to captivity he goes;
akif anyone is to be slain with the sword,
with the sword must he be slain.
alHere is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints.
