2. looking to the author and perfecter of faith--Jesus, who, over-against the joy set before him--did endure a cross, shame having despised, on the right hand also of the throne of God did sit down;
3. for consider again him who endured such gainsaying from the sinners to himself, that ye may not be wearied in your souls--being faint.
4. Not yet unto blood did ye resist--with the sin striving;
5. and ye have forgotten the exhortation that doth speak fully with you as with sons, `My son, be not despising chastening of the Lord, nor be faint, being reproved by Him,
6. for whom the Lord doth love He doth chasten, and He scourgeth every son whom He receiveth;'
7. if chastening ye endure, as to sons God beareth Himself to you, for who is a son whom a father doth not chasten?
8. and if ye are apart from chastening, of which all have become partakers, then bastards are ye, and not sons.
