The verse
So then, with so vast a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, we too must strip off every burden and the sin that so readily wraps itself around us, and keep running with endurance the race that lies ahead of us, keeping our gaze on Jesus, the originator and completer of faith. For the sake of the joy that lay ahead of him he endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and he has sat down at the right hand of God’s throne.
