ISA-11:9 ...for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD,

as the waters cover the sea.

Copyright (c) 1985-2007

HEB-1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in

time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

HEB-1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by [his] Son,

whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made

the worlds;

HEB-1:3 Who being the brightness of [his] glory, and the

express image of his person, and upholding all things by the

word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat

down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

HEB-1:4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath

by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

HEB-1:5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou

art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be

to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

HEB-1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into

the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

HEB-1:7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels

spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.

HEB-1:8 But unto the Son [he saith], Thy throne, O God, [is]

for ever and ever:a sceptre of righteousness [is] the sceptre of

thy kingdom.

HEB-1:9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity;

therefore God, [even] thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil

of gladness above thy fellows.

HEB-1:10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the

foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine

hands:

HEB-1:11 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all

shall wax old as doth a garment;

HEB-1:12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they

shall be changed:but thou art the same, and thy years shall not

fail.

HEB-1:13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on

my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?

HEB-1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to

minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

*HEB-2:1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to

the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let

[them] slip.

HEB-2:2 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and

every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense

of reward;

HEB-2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation;

which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was

confirmed unto us by them that heard [him];

HEB-2:4 God also bearing [them] witness, both with signs and

wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost,

according to his own will?

HEB-2:5 For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the

world to come, whereof we speak.

HEB-2:6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is

man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou

visitest him?

HEB-2:7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou

crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the

works of thy hands:

HEB-2:8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet.

For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing

[that is] not put under him. But now we see not yet all things

put under him.

HEB-2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the

angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour;

that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

HEB-2:10 For it became him, for whom [are] all things, and by

whom [are] all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make

the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

HEB-2:11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are

sanctified [are] all of one:for which cause he is not ashamed to

call them brethren,

HEB-2:12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in

the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.

HEB-2:13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again,

Behold I and the children which God hath given me.

HEB-2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh

and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that

through death he might destroy him that had the power of death,

that is, the devil;

HEB-2:15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all

their lifetime subject to bondage.

HEB-2:16 For verily he took not on [him the nature of] angels;

but he took on [him] the seed of Abraham.

HEB-2:17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like

unto [his] brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful

high priest in things [pertaining] to God, to make

reconciliation for the sins of the people.

HEB-2:18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he

is able to succour them that are tempted.

*HEB-3:1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly

calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession,

Christ Jesus;

HEB-3:2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also

Moses [was faithful] in all his house.

HEB-3:3 For this [man] was counted worthy of more glory than

Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more

honour than the house.

HEB-3:4 For every house is builded by some [man]; but he that

built all things [is] God.

HEB-3:5 And Moses verily [was] faithful in all his house, as a

servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken

after;

HEB-3:6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are

we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope

firm unto the end.

HEB-3:7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will

hear his voice,

HEB-3:8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the

day of temptation in the wilderness:

HEB-3:9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my

works forty years.

HEB-3:10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said,

They do alway err in [their] heart; and they have not known my

ways.

HEB-3:11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my

rest.)

HEB-3:12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an

evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

HEB-3:13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To

day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of

sin.

HEB-3:14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the

beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

HEB-3:15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice,

harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

HEB-3:16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke:howbeit not

all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

HEB-3:17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? [was it] not

with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?

HEB-3:18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into

his rest, but to them that believed not?

HEB-3:19 So we see that they could not enter in because of

unbelief.

*HEB-4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left [us]

of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short

of it.

HEB-4:2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto

them:but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed

with faith in them that heard [it].

HEB-4:3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he

said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my

rest:although the works were finished from the foundation of the

world.

HEB-4:4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh [day] on

this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.

HEB-4:5 And in this [place] again, If they shall enter into my

rest.

HEB-4:6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter

therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in

because of unbelief:

HEB-4:7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To

day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear

his voice, harden not your hearts.

HEB-4:8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not

afterward have spoken of another day.

HEB-4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

HEB-4:10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath

ceased from his own works, as God [did] from his.

HEB-4:11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest

any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

HEB-4:12 For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and

sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing

asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and

[is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

HEB-4:13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in

his sight:but all things [are] naked and opened unto the eyes of

him with whom we have to do.

HEB-4:14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is

passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast

[our] profession.

HEB-4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched

with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points

tempted like as [we are, yet] without sin.

HEB-4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace,

that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

*HEB-5:1 For every high priest taken from among men is ordained

for men in things [pertaining] to God, that he may offer both

gifts and sacrifices for sins:

HEB-5:2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them

that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed

with infirmity.

HEB-5:3 And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so

also for himself, to offer for sins.

HEB-5:4 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that

is called of God, as [was] Aaron.

HEB-5:5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high

priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have

I begotten thee.

HEB-5:6 As he saith also in another [place], Thou [art] a

priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

HEB-5:7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up

prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him

that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he

feared;

HEB-5:8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the

things which he suffered;

HEB-5:9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal

salvation unto all them that obey him;

HEB-5:10 Called of God an high priest after the order of

Melchisedec.

HEB-5:11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be

uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.

HEB-5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have

need that one teach you again which [be] the first principles of

the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk,

and not of strong meat.

HEB-5:13 For every one that useth milk [is] unskilful in the

word of righteousness:for he is a babe.

HEB-5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age,

[even] those who by reason of use have their senses exercised

to discern both good and evil.

*HEB-6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of

Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the

foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward

God,

HEB-6:2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands,

and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

HEB-6:3 And this will we do, if God permit.

HEB-6:4 For [it is] impossible for those who were once

enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made

partakers of the Holy Ghost,

HEB-6:5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of

the world to come,

HEB-6:6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto

repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God

afresh, and put [him] to an open shame.

HEB-6:7 For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh

oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it

is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:

HEB-6:8 But that which beareth thorns and briers [is] rejected,

and [is] nigh unto cursing; whose end [is] to be burned.

HEB-6:9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you,

and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.

HEB-6:10 For God [is] not unrighteous to forget your work and

labour of love, which ye have showed toward his name, in that ye

have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

HEB-6:11 And we desire that every one of you do show the same

diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:

HEB-6:12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who

through faith and patience inherit the promises.

HEB-6:13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could

swear by no greater, he sware by himself,

HEB-6:14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and

multiplying I will multiply thee.

HEB-6:15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained

the promise.

HEB-6:16 For men verily swear by the greater:and an oath for

confirmation [is] to them an end of all strife.

HEB-6:17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to show unto the

heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed [it]

by an oath:

HEB-6:18 That by two immutable things, in which [it was]

impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation,

who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

HEB-6:19 Which [hope] we have as an anchor of the soul, both

sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;

HEB-6:20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, [even] Jesus,

made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

*HEB-7:1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the

most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of

the kings, and blessed him;

HEB-7:2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first

being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that

also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;

HEB-7:3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having

neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto

the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.

HEB-7:4 Now consider how great this man [was], unto whom even

the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.

HEB-7:5 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who

receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take

tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their

brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:

HEB-7:6 But he whose descent is not counted from them received

tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.

HEB-7:7 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of

the better.

HEB-7:8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he

[receiveth them], of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.

HEB-7:9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes,

payed tithes in Abraham.

HEB-7:10 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when

Melchisedec met him.

HEB-7:11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical

priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what

further need [was there] that another priest should rise after

the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of

Aaron?

HEB-7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of

necessity a change also of the law.

HEB-7:13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to

another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.

HEB-7:14 For [it is] evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda;

of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

HEB-7:15 And it is yet far more evident:for that after the

similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,

HEB-7:16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment,

but after the power of an endless life.

HEB-7:17 For he testifieth, Thou [art] a priest for ever after

the order of Melchisedec.

HEB-7:18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment

going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.

HEB-7:19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in

of a better hope [did]; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

HEB-7:20 And inasmuch as not without an oath [he was made

priest]:

HEB-7:21 (For those priests were made without an oath; but this

with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will

not repent, Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of

Melchisedec:)

HEB-7:22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better

testament.

HEB-7:23 And they truly were many priests, because they were

not suffered to continue by reason of death:

HEB-7:24 But this [man], because he continueth ever, hath an

unchangeable priesthood.

HEB-7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the

uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to

make intercession for them.

HEB-7:26 For such an high priest became us, [who is] holy,

harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than

the heavens;

HEB-7:27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer

up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's:

for this he did once, when he offered up himself.

HEB-7:28 For the law maketh men high priests which have

infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law,

[maketh] the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.

*HEB-8:1 Now of the things which we have spoken [this is] the

sum:We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of

the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;

HEB-8:2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle,

which the Lord pitched, and not man.

HEB-8:3 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and

sacrifices:wherefore [it is] of necessity that this man have

somewhat also to offer.

HEB-8:4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest,

seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the

law:

HEB-8:5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly

things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make

the tabernacle:for, See, saith he, [that] thou make all things

according to the pattern showed to thee in the mount.

HEB-8:6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by

how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was

established upon better promises.

HEB-8:7 For if that first [covenant] had been faultless, then

should no place have been sought for the second.

HEB-8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days

come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the

house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

HEB-8:9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their

fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out

of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant,

and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

HEB-8:10 For this [is] the covenant that I will make with the

house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my

laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts:and I will

be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

HEB-8:11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and

every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord:for all shall know

me, from the least to the greatest.

HEB-8:12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and

their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

HEB-8:13 In that he saith, A new [covenant], he hath made the

first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old [is] ready to

vanish away.

*HEB-9:1 Then verily the first [covenant] had also ordinances

of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.

HEB-9:2 For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein

[was] the candlestick, and the table, and the showbread; which

is called the sanctuary.

HEB-9:3 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is

called the Holiest of all;

HEB-9:4 Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the

covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein [was] the

golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the

tables of the covenant;

HEB-9:5 And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the

mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.

HEB-9:6 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests

went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service

[of God].

HEB-9:7 But into the second [went] the high priest alone once

every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and

[for] the errors of the people:

HEB-9:8 The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the

holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first

tabernacle was yet standing:

HEB-9:9 Which [was] a figure for the time then present, in

which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not

make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the

conscience;

HEB-9:10 [Which stood] only in meats and drinks, and divers

washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed [on them] until the

time of reformation.

HEB-9:11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to

come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with

hands, that is to say, not of this building;

HEB-9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his

own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having

obtained eternal redemption [for us].

HEB-9:13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes

of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the

purifying of the flesh:

HEB-9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through

the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge

your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

HEB-9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new

testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the

transgressions [that were] under the first testament, they which

are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

HEB-9:16 For where a testament [is], there must also of

necessity be the death of the testator.

HEB-9:17 For a testament [is] of force after men are dead:

otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

HEB-9:18 Whereupon neither the first [testament] was dedicated

without blood.

HEB-9:19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the

people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of

goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled

both the book, and all the people,

HEB-9:20 Saying, This [is] the blood of the testament which God

hath enjoined unto you.

HEB-9:21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle,

and all the vessels of the ministry.

HEB-9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood;

and without shedding of blood is no remission.

HEB-9:23 [It was] therefore necessary that the patterns of

things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the

heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

HEB-9:24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made

with hands, [which are] the figures of the true; but into heaven

itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

HEB-9:25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the

high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood

of others;

HEB-9:26 For then must he often have suffered since the

foundation of the world:but now once in the end of the world

hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

HEB-9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after

this the judgment:

HEB-9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many;

and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time

without sin unto salvation.

*HEB-10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come,

[and] not the very image of the things, can never with those

sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the

comers thereunto perfect.

HEB-10:2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered?

because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more

conscience of sins.

HEB-10:3 But in those [sacrifices there is] a remembrance again

[made] of sins every year.

HEB-10:4 For [it is] not possible that the blood of bulls and

of goats should take away sins.

HEB-10:5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith,

Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou

prepared me:

HEB-10:6 In burnt offerings and [sacrifices] for sin thou hast

had no pleasure.

HEB-10:7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it

is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.

HEB-10:8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt

offerings and [offering] for sin thou wouldest not, neither

hadst pleasure [therein]; which are offered by the law;

HEB-10:9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He

taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.

HEB-10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the

offering of the body of Jesus Christ once [for all].

HEB-10:11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and

offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take

away sins:

HEB-10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for

sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

HEB-10:13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made

his footstool.

HEB-10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them

that are sanctified.

HEB-10:15 [Whereof] the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us:for

after that he had said before,

HEB-10:16 This [is] the covenant that I will make with them

after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their

hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

HEB-10:17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

HEB-10:18 Now where remission of these [is, there is] no more

offering for sin.

HEB-10:19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into

the holiest by the blood of Jesus,

HEB-10:20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated

for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

HEB-10:21 And [having] an high priest over the house of God;

HEB-10:22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance

of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience,

and our bodies washed with pure water.

HEB-10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of [our] faith

without wavering; (for he [is] faithful that promised;)

HEB-10:24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love

and to good works:

HEB-10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together,

as the manner of some [is]; but exhorting [one another]:and so

much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

HEB-10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received

the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice

for sins,

HEB-10:27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and

fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

HEB-10:28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under

two or three witnesses:

HEB-10:29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be

thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and

hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was

sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the

Spirit of grace?

HEB-10:30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance [belongeth]

unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord

shall judge his people.

HEB-10:31 [It is] a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the

living God.

HEB-10:32 But call to remembrance the former days, in which,

after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of

afflictions;

HEB-10:33 Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by

reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became

companions of them that were so used.

HEB-10:34 For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took

joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that

ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.

HEB-10:35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath

great recompense of reward.

HEB-10:36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have

done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

HEB-10:37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will

come, and will not tarry.

HEB-10:38 Now the just shall live by faith:but if [any man]

draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

HEB-10:39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition;

but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

*HEB-11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the

evidence of things not seen.

HEB-11:2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.

HEB-11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were

framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were

not made of things which do appear.

HEB-11:4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent

sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was

righteous, God testifying of his gifts:and by it he being dead

yet speaketh.

HEB-11:5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see

death; and was not found, because God had translated him:for

before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased

God.

HEB-11:6 But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]:

for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he

is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

HEB-11:7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen

as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his

house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of

the righteousness which is by faith.

HEB-11:8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a

place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed;

and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

HEB-11:9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as [in]

a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob,

the heirs with him of the same promise:

HEB-11:10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations,

whose builder and maker [is] God.

HEB-11:11 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to

conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past

age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.

HEB-11:12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good

as dead, [so many] as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as

the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.

HEB-11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the

promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of

[them], and embraced [them], and confessed that they were

strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

HEB-11:14 For they that say such things declare plainly that

they seek a country.

HEB-11:15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that [country]

from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to

have returned.

HEB-11:16 But now they desire a better [country], that is, an

heavenly:wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God:for

he hath prepared for them a city.

HEB-11:17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac:

and he that had received the promises offered up his only

begotten [son].

HEB-11:18 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be

called:

HEB-11:19 Accounting that God [was] able to raise [him] up,

even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.

HEB-11:20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning

things to come.

HEB-11:21 By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the

sons of Joseph; and worshipped, [leaning] upon the top of his

staff.

HEB-11:22 By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the

departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment

concerning his bones.

HEB-11:23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three

months of his parents, because they saw [he was] a proper child;

and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.

HEB-11:24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to

be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;

HEB-11:25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people

of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

HEB-11:26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than

the treasures in Egypt:for he had respect unto the recompense of

the reward.

HEB-11:27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of

the king:for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

HEB-11:28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the

sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should

touch them.

HEB-11:29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry

[land]:which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.

HEB-11:30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they

were compassed about seven days.

HEB-11:31 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that

believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.

HEB-11:32 And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me

to tell of Gedeon, and [of] Barak, and [of] Samson, and [of]

Jephthae; [of] David also, and Samuel, and [of] the prophets:

HEB-11:33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought

righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,

HEB-11:34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of

the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in

fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.

HEB-11:35 Women received their dead raised to life again:and

others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might

obtain a better resurrection:

HEB-11:36 And others had trial of [cruel] mockings and

scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:

HEB-11:37 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were

tempted, were slain with the sword:they wandered about in

sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;

HEB-11:38 (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in

deserts, and [in] mountains, and [in] dens and caves of the

earth.

HEB-11:39 And these all, having obtained a good report through

faith, received not the promise:

HEB-11:40 God having provided some better thing for us, that

they without us should not be made perfect.

*HEB-12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so

great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and

the sin which doth so easily beset [us], and let us run with

patience the race that is set before us,

HEB-12:2 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.

HEB-12:3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of

sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your

minds.

HEB-12:4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against

sin.

HEB-12:5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh

unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the

chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:

HEB-12:6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth

every son whom he receiveth.

HEB-12:7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with

sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

HEB-12:8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are

partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

HEB-12:9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which

corrected [us], and we gave [them] reverence:shall we not much

rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

HEB-12:10 For they verily for a few days chastened [us] after

their own pleasure; but he for [our] profit, that [we] might be

partakers of his holiness.

HEB-12:11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be

joyous, but grievous:nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the

peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised

thereby.

HEB-12:12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the

feeble knees;

HEB-12:13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that

which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be

healed.

HEB-12:14 Follow peace with all [men], and holiness, without

which no man shall see the Lord:

HEB-12:15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of

God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble [you], and

thereby many be defiled;

HEB-12:16 Lest there [be] any fornicator, or profane person, as

Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.

HEB-12:17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have

inherited the blessing, he was rejected:for he found no place of

repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.

HEB-12:18 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be

touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and

darkness, and tempest,

HEB-12:19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words;

which [voice] they that heard entreated that the word should not

be spoken to them any more:

HEB-12:20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded,

And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned,

or thrust through with a dart:

HEB-12:21 And so terrible was the sight, [that] Moses said, I

exceedingly fear and quake:)

HEB-12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of

the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable

company of angels,

HEB-12:23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn,

which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to

the spirits of just men made perfect,

HEB-12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to

the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than [that

of] Abel.

HEB-12:25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they

escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more

[shall not] we [escape], if we turn away from him that

[speaketh] from heaven:

HEB-12:26 Whose voice then shook the earth:but now he hath

promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but

also heaven.

HEB-12:27 And this [word], Yet once more, signifieth the

removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are

made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

HEB-12:28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be

moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably

with reverence and godly fear:

HEB-12:29 For our God [is] a consuming fire.

*HEB-13:1 Let brotherly love continue.

HEB-13:2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers:for thereby

some have entertained angels unawares.

HEB-13:3 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them;

[and] them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in

the body.

HEB-13:4 Marriage [is] honourable in all, and the bed undefiled:

but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

HEB-13:5 [Let your] conversation [be] without covetousness;

[and be] content with such things as ye have:for he hath said, I

will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

HEB-13:6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord [is] my helper,

and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

HEB-13:7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have

spoken unto you the word of God:whose faith follow, considering

the end of [their] conversation.

HEB-13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for

ever.

HEB-13:9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines.

For [it is] a good thing that the heart be established with

grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have

been occupied therein.

HEB-13:10 We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat

which serve the tabernacle.

HEB-13:11 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is

brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are

burned without the camp.

HEB-13:12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the

people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.

HEB-13:13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp,

bearing his reproach.

HEB-13:14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one

to come.

HEB-13:15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise

to God continually, that is, the fruit of [our] lips giving

thanks to his name.

HEB-13:16 But to do good and to communicate forget not:for with

such sacrifices God is well pleased.

HEB-13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit

yourselves:for they watch for your souls, as they that must give

account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief:for

that [is] unprofitable for you.

HEB-13:18 Pray for us:for we trust we have a good conscience,

in all things willing to live honestly.

HEB-13:19 But I beseech [you] the rather to do this, that I may

be restored to you the sooner.

HEB-13:20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the

dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through

the blood of the everlasting covenant,

HEB-13:21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will,

working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through

Jesus Christ; to whom [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen.

HEB-13:22 And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of

exhortation:for I have written a letter unto you in few words.

HEB-13:23 Know ye that [our] brother Timothy is set at liberty;

with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.

HEB-13:24 Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all

the saints. They of Italy salute you.

HEB-13:25 Grace [be] with you all. Amen.
