Ibrani 12:1

The Lord’s Discipline

12:1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, ¹  we must get rid of every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and run with endurance the race set out for us,

1 Petrus 3:9

3:9 Do not return evil for evil or insult for insult, but instead bless ²  others ³  because you were called to inherit a blessing.

[12:1]  ¹ tn Grk “having such a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us.”

[3:9]  ² tn Grk “not returning…but blessing,” continuing the sense of command from the preceding.

[3:9]  ³ tn The direct object “others” is omitted but implied in Greek, and must be supplied to suit English style.
