2. Heb 12:1-4
12:1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded
by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside
every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares
us, and let us run with endurance the race that isrun with endurance the race that is
set before usset before us, 2 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 has sat down at the right hand of the
throne of God.
3 For consider Him who endured such hostility
from sinners against Himself, lest you become
weary and discouraged in your souls. 4 You have
not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin.
NKJV

3. Heb 6:4-6
4 For it is impossible for those who were once
enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly
gift, and have become partakers of the Holy
Spirit, 5 and have tasted the good word of God
and the powers of the age to come, 6 if they
fall away, to renew them again to repentance,
since they crucify again for themselves the
Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.
NKJV

4. Heb 3:12-15
12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of
you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from
the living God; 13 but exhort one another
daily, while it is called "Today," lest any of you
be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14 For we have become partakers of Christ if
we hold the beginning of our confidence
steadfast to the end, 15 while it is said:
"Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion."
NKJV
