THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR FAITH

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, 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.  For consider him that 
endured such contradiction of sinners against 
himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your 
minds. Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, 
striving against sin.  And ye have forgotten 
the exhortation which speaketh unto you as 
unto children, My son, despise not thou the 
chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou 
art rebuked of him:  For whom the Lord 
loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every 
son whom he receiveth.
Hebrews 12:1-6
