2. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
仰望為我們信心創始成終的耶穌。（或作仰望那將真道創始成終的耶穌）他因那擺在前面的喜樂，就輕看羞辱，忍受了十字架的苦難，便坐在神寶座的右邊。
The main emphasis in this verse lies in the opening clause. All the other clauses describe Jesus in respect to his work, endurance, and position. Notice that the author introduces the name Jesus so the readers will concentrate on his earthly life.
a. "Fix our eyes on Jesus." Immediately the refrain of the invitational hymn composed by Helen H. Lemmel comes to mind:
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in his wonderful face;
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of his glory and grace.
As contestants engaged in running the race, we have no time to look around. We must keep our eyes focused on Jesus and must do so without distraction. The writer of Hebrews does not place the name Jesus among those of the heroes of faith; he gives him special recognition, for he calls him "the author and perfecter of our faith." Jesus is "the author of [our] salvation" (2:10), who as forerunner has entered the heavenly sanctuary (6:19-20) and has opened "a new and living way" for us that leads to this sanctuary (10:20). He is the Beginning and the End, the Alpha and the Omega (Rev. 1:17; 21:6; 22:13). And he whom God perfected through suffering (Heb. 2:10) perfects his brothers and sisters who have placed their trust in him. As originator and perfecter of our faith, Jesus has laid its foundation in our hearts and in time brings faith to completion. He can do this because he is able, and he will do this because he is our brother (因那使人成聖的，和那些得以成聖的，都是出於一Heb. 2:11-12). In a similar vein, Paul encourages the Philippians when he says that God "who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus" (我深信那在你們心裡動了善工的，必成全這工，直到耶穌基督的日子。1:6). Therefore, "turn your eyes upon Jesus."
