And let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; It was no excitement to run if there were no onlookers. The spur to the...

Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, In those games, those who ran and wrestled wore very little clothing, or often nothing at all. A runner might lose the race through...

Who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. It has never come to a bloody sweat with you as with him, nor to death upon a cross, as in his case. Shall the disciple be above his master or the servant above his lord?
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

That endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: for whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. Paul reminds you that, in your wrestling, you may have to endure a still sterner struggle: “Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. Your battles have been nothing yet; ye think yourselves martyrs. What have you done? What have you suffered? What have ye endured, compared with your Lord, compared with the saints of old?

And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: Neither think too little of it, nor too much of it — too little of it by despising it and not listening to the voice of the rod, nor too much of it by fainting when thou art...
