"let us lay aside"
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside {G659} every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 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. For consider Him that endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
Hebrews 12:1-4
Strongs: G659 659 ἀποτίθημι [A)POTI/QHMI] {apotíthēmi} \ap-ot-eeth'-ay-mee\ from 575 and 5087; to put away (literally or figuratively):--cast off, lay apart (aside, down), put away (off).
See Greek 575. See Greek 5087.
The Greek word translated "let us lay aside" is from two Greek words "apo" and "tithemi"
575 ἀπό [A)PO/] {apó} \apo'\
a primary particle; "off," i.e. away (from something near), in various senses (of place, time, or relation; literal or figurative):--(X here-)after, ago, at, because of, before, by (the space of), for(-th), from, in, (out) of, off, (up-)on(-ce), since, with. In composition (as a prefix) it usually denotes separation, departure, cessation, completion, reversal, etc.
5087 τίθημι [TI/QHMI] {títhēmi} \tith'-ay-mee\
a prolonged form of a primaryθέω [QE/W] {théō} \theh'-o\
(which is used only as alternate in certain tenses); to place (in the widest application, literally and figuratively; properly, in a passive or horizontal posture, and thus different from 2476, which properly denotes an upright and active position, while 2749 is properly reflexive and utterly prostrate):--+ advise, appoint, bow, commit, conceive, give, X kneel down, lay (aside, down, up), make, ordain, purpose, put, set (forth), settle, sink down.
Here are all the places and ways this Greek word "apotíthēmi" is found in the New Testament
Acts 7:57-60 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, and cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down {G659} their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul. And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul. And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
Romans 13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us {G659} therefore cast off {G659} the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
Ephesians 4:20-24 But ye have not so learned Christ; If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: that ye put off {G659} concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; and be renewed in the spirit of your mind; and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Ephesians 4:25 ¶Wherefore putting away {G659} lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
Colossians 3:8 But now ye also put off {G659} all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
Hebrews 12:1-4 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside {G659} every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 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. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
James 1:21 Wherefore lay apart {G659} all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
I Peter 2:1-3 Wherefore laying aside {G659} all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, as newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
