Hebrews 12:1-11
(paraphrased)
Therefore, the Soko gang also, since we are surrounded by a great 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 in Korea 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, despisting the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider Jesus who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest the gang become weary and discouranged in your souls. The gang has not yet resisted to bloodshed, stiving against sin.

Gang, do not despise the chastening of Me, nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Me; for whom I love I chasten, and scourge every one whom I recieve.

If you endure chastening, I deal with you as sons, for what son is there whom a father does not chasten? But if you are without chastening, or which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons. Furthermore, we have had human fathers (santa) who corrected us, and we did pay them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of Spirits and live?

For our fathers (santa) have indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness. NOw, no chastening seems to be joyful, for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yeilds the peacable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

Therefore strengthen the hands which hang down, and teh feeble knees, and make them paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
