Hebrews 12:12-13
12 Therefore set straight the hands which hang down and the paralyzed knees,
13 And make straight paths for your feet, that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather may be healed.
Hebrews 12:1-2, 5-6, 11, 15-17, 22-24, 28-29
1 Therefore let us also, having so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, put away every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us and run with endurance the race which is set before us,
2 Looking away unto Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down on the right hand of the throne of God.
5 And you have completely forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with sons, “My
son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor faint when reproved by Him;
6 For whom the Lord loves He disciplines, and He scourges every son whom He receives.”
11 Now no discipline at the present time seems to be a matter of joy, but of grief; but afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised by it.
15 Looking carefully lest anyone fall away from the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and through this many be defiled;
16 Lest there be any fornicator or profane person like Esau, who for one meal gave up his own birthright.
17 For you know that also afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected; for he found no place for repentance, even though he sought it with tears.
22 But you have come forward to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem; and to myriads of angels, to the universal gathering;
23 And to the church of the firstborn, who have been enrolled in the heavens; and to God, the Judge of all; and to the spirits of righteous men who have been made perfect;
24 And to Jesus, the Mediator of a new covenant; and to the blood of sprinkling, which speaks something better than that of Abel.
28 Therefore receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us have grace, through which we may serve God well-pleasingly with piety and fear;
29 For our God is also a consuming fire.
Luke 13:10-13, 16
10 And He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath.
11 And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bent double and could not stand erect at all.
12 And Jesus, seeing her, called her to Him and said to her, Woman, you are released from your infirmity.
13 And He laid His hands on her, and instantly she was made erect and began to glorify God.
16 And this woman, being a daughter of Abraham whom Satan has bound, behold, for eighteen years, should she not have been released from this bond on the Sabbath day?
