Hebrews 12:1 YLT

¹  Therefore, we also having so great a cloud of witnesses set around us, every weight having put off, and the closely besetting sin, through endurance may we run the contest that is set before us,

²  looking to the author and perfecter of faith -- Jesus, who, over-against the joy set before him -- did endure a cross, shame having despised, on the right hand also of the throne of God did sit down;

³  for consider again him who endured such gainsaying from the sinners to himself, that ye may not be wearied in your souls -- being faint.
