“Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Looking to Jesus the founder (archēgos) and perfecter (teleiotes) of our faith; he for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God — the exhortation's heart: fix eyes (aphoraō) on Jesus who is both originator (archēgos) and completer (teleiotes) of faith. He endured (hypomeno) cross and shame for future joy (chara). His ascent to God's right hand validates his work and becomes the pattern for believers' endurance.
