NET

1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, we must get rid of every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and run with endurance the race set out for us,

Darby

Be Like the Witnesses - Keep Eyes Fixed on Jesus

1 Let *us* also therefore, having so great a cloud of witnesses^D9134 surrounding us, laying aside every weight, and sin^D9135 which so easily entangles^D9136 us, run with endurance the race that lies before us,

Darby Bible Notes

witnesses - Witness, in English, has two senses. 'seeing, so as to bear witness,' and 'giving testimony to.' The last only I apprehend is in the Greek here. sin - Or 'the sin.' entangles - Or 'besets.' The one Greek word here represents the whole phrase, 'which so easily entangles us.'

KJV

Be Like the Witnesses - Keep Eyes Fixed on Jesus

1 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,
