Hebrews 11:39-12:2

Darby Translation

³⁹ And these all, having obtained witness through faith, did not receive the promise,

⁴⁰ God having foreseen some better thing for us, that they should not be made perfect without us.

12 Let *us* also therefore, having so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, laying aside every weight, and sin which so easily entangles us, run with endurance the race that lies before us,

² looking stedfastly on Jesus the leader and completer of faith: who, in view of the joy lying before him, endured [the] cross, having despised [the] shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
