 * ~ Hebrews 12:1-2,12-15 (ESV) ||~  ||
 * 1) Therefor, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witness, 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, || Stay and be confident in yourself and other people. ||
 * 2) 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. || He is the one who put us in our faith and in what we believe in. ||
 * 12) Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, || Get up, walk, and spread Gods word ||
 * 13) and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed. || Do not get off the right path, and walk away from God, but stay on the right path and walk towards him. ||
 * 14) Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. || Share God's word and want peace. ||
 * 15) See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no "root of bitterness" springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled; || Accept every thing that God gives us. ||
