The Example Of Jesus' Suffering

1 THEREFORE also seeing we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, laying aside every weight, and that most easily besetting sin, let us run with patience the race lying before us, 2 earnestly looking up to Jesus the author and the finisher of faith; who, for the joy set before him, endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider then attentively him that endured from sinners such opposition against himself, that ye be not wearied out, fainting in your souls.
