before us, |
|
|
|
HEB 12:2

scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. |
|
|
|

as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? |

are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. |
|
|
|
HEB 12:9

of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. |
|

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without
which no man shall see the Lord: |
|
|
|
HEB 12:15

grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby
many be defiled; |
|
|
|

Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person,
as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. |
|

have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance,
though he sought it carefully with tears. |

be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, |
|
|
|
HEB 12:19
Hebrews 12:19
|
|
And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of
words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken
to them any more: |
|
|
|
HEB 12:20
Hebrews 12:20
|

And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through
with a dart: |
|
|
|
HEB 12:21
