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 qsin which clings so closely, and rlet us run swith endurance the race that is tset before us, 2looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, uwho for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising vthe shame, and wis seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

Do Not Grow Weary
