Hebrews 12:1

Therefore , since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses , 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 ,

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,

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,
