HEBREWS 12:1-2
Wherefore seeing we also are
compassed about with so great a
cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside
every weight, and the sin which doth
so easily beset us, and let us run with
patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and
finisher of our faith; who for the joy
that was set before him
endured the cross,
despising the shame,
and is set down at
the right hand
of the throne
of God.
