Hebrews 12:4

Hebrews 12:4

Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.

a. ASV: Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin:

  

b. YLT: Not yet unto blood did ye resist -- with the sin striving;

d. Amplified Bible Classic: You have not yet struggled and fought agonizingly against sin, nor have you yet resisted and withstood to the point of pouring out your [own] blood.

b. resisted [Strong: 478 antikathístēmi, an-tee-kath-is'-tay-mee; from G473 and G2525; to set down (troops) against, i.e. withstand:—resist.]

c. unto [Strong: 3360 méchri, mekh'-ree; from G3372; as far as, i.e. up to a certain point (as a preposition, of extent (denoting the terminus, whereas G891 refers especially to the space of time or place intervening) or conjunction):—till, (un-)to, until.]

d. blood [Strong: 129 haîma, hah'-ee-mah; of uncertain derivation; blood, literally (of men or animals), figuratively (the juice of grapes) or specially (the atoning blood of Christ); by implication, bloodshed, also kindred:—blood.]

e. striving [Strong: 464 antagōnízomai, an-tag-o-nid'-zom-ahee; from G473 and G75; to struggle against (figuratively) ("antagonize"):—strive against.]
