Hebrews 12: 1-2
"Therefore then, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud
of witnesses [who have borne testimony to the Truth], let us strip off and
throw aside every encumbrance (unnecessary weight) and that sin which so
readily (deftly and cleverly) clings to and entangles us, and let us run
with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the
appointed course of the race that is set before us,
2 Looking away [from all that will distract] to
Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first
incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and
perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him,
endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated
at the right hand of the throne of God."
