Speaking to the Hebrews, Paul just finished the 'Faith Chapter' listing all the Patriarchs and those of faith in the Old Testament. He is now in chapter 12 speaking to those who would become disciples or imitators of Christ - in context for all the world to see, we are to be perfect like Jesus was in all we do, not being concerned with 'discipline' from God who does so to the children He loves:
Hebrews 12:1-3New International Version (NIV)
12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
