Hebrews 12:1-2

Hebrews 12:1-2
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud
of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and
sin which clings so closely, and let us run with
endurance the race that is set before us, looking to
Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for
the joy that was set before him endured the cross,
despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of
the throne of God.
