Hebrews   1



 1. God <2316>, who at sundry <4181> times and in divers <4187> 
manners <4187> spake <2980> in time <3819> past <3819> unto the 
fathers <3962> by the prophets <4396>,



 2  Hath in these <5130> last <2078> days <2250> spoken <2980> 
unto us by [his] Son <5207>, whom <3739> he hath appointed 
<5087> heir <2818> of all <3956> things, by whom <3739> also 
<2532> he made <4160> the worlds <0165>;



 3  Who being the brightness <0541> of [his] glory <1391>, and 
the express <5481> image <5481> of his person <5287>, and 
upholding <5342> all <3956> things by the word <4487> of his 
power <1411>, when he had by himself <1438> purged <2512> our 
sins <0266>, sat <2523> down <2523> on <1722> the right <1188> 
hand of the Majesty <3172> on <1722> high <5308>;



 4. Being made <1096> so <5118> much <5118> better <2909> than 
the angels <0032>, as he hath by inheritance <2820> obtained 
<2816> a more excellent <1313> name <3686> than <3844> they.



 5  For unto which <5101> of the angels <0032> said <2036> he at 
<4218> any <4218> time <4218>, Thou art <1488> my Son <5207>, 
this <4594> day <4594> have I begotten <1080> thee? And again 
<3825>, I will be to him a Father <3962>, and he shall be to me 
a Son <5207>?



 6  And again <3825>, when <3752> he bringeth <1521> in the 
firstbegotten <4416> into <1519> the world <3625>, he saith 
<3004>, And let all <3956> the angels <0032> of God <2316> 
worship <4352> him.



 7  And of the angels <0032> he saith <3004>, Who <3739> maketh 
<4160> his angels <0032> spirits <4151>, and his ministers 
<3011> a flame <5395> of fire <4442>.



 8  But unto the Son <5207> [he saith], Thy throne <2362>, O God 
<2316>, [is] for ever <0165> and ever <0165>: a sceptre <4464> 
of righteousness <2118> [is] the sceptre <4464> of thy kingdom 
<0932>.



 9  Thou hast loved <0025> righteousness <1343>, and hated 
<3404> iniquity <0458>; therefore <5124> God <2316>, [even] thy 
God <2316>, hath anointed <5548> thee with the oil <1637> of 
gladness <0020> above <3844> thy fellows <3353>.



 10  And, Thou, Lord <2962>, in the beginning <0746> hast laid 
the foundation <2311> of the earth <1093>; and the heavens 
<3772> are the works <2041> of thine <4675> hands <5495>:



 11  They shall perish <0622>; but thou remainest <1265>; and 
they all <3956> shall wax <3822> old <3822> as doth a garment 
<2440>;



 12  And as a vesture <4018> shalt thou fold <1667> them up, and 
they shall be changed <0236>: but thou art <1488> the same 
<0846>, and thy years <2094> shall not fail <1587>.



 13  But to which <5101> of the angels <0032> said <2046> he at 
<4218> any <4218> time <4218>, Sit <2521> on <1537> my right 
<1188> hand, until <2193> I make <5087> thine <4675> enemies 
<2190> thy footstool <5286>?



 14  Are they not all <3956> ministering <3010> spirits <4151>, 
sent <0649> forth <0649> to minister <1248> for them who shall 
be heirs <2816> of salvation <4991>?



Hebrews   2



 1. Therefore <5124> we ought <1163> to give the more <4056> 
earnest <4056> heed <4337> to the things which we have heard 
<0191>, lest <3379> at <3379> any <3379> time <4218> we should 
let [them] slip <3901>.



 2  For if <1487> the word <3056> spoken <2980> by angels <0032> 
was stedfast <0949>, and every <3956> transgression <3847> and 
disobedience <3876> received <2983> a just <1738> recompence 
<3405> of reward <3405>;



 3  How <4459> shall we escape <1628>, if we neglect <0272> so 
<5082> great <5082> salvation <4991>; which <3748> at the first 
<0746> began <2983> to be spoken <2980> by the Lord <2962>, and 
was confirmed <0950> unto us by them that heard <0191> [him];



 4  God <2316> also <4901> bearing <4901> [them] witness <4901>, 
both <5037> with signs <4591> and wonders <5059>, and with 
divers <4164> miracles <1411>, and gifts <3311> of the Holy 
<0040> Ghost <4151>, according <2596> to his own will <2308>?



 5. For unto the angels <0032> hath he not put <5293> in 
subjection <5293> the world <3625> to come <3195>, whereof 
<3739> we speak <2980>.



 6  But one <5100> in a certain <4225> place testified <1263>, 
saying <3004>, What <5101> is man <0444>, that thou art mindful 
<3403> of him? or <2228> the son <5207> of man <0444>, that thou 
visitest <1980> him?



 7  Thou madest <1642> him a little <1024> lower <1642> than 
<3844> the angels <0032>; thou crownedst <4737> him with glory 
<1391> and honour <5092>, and didst set <2525> him over <1909> 
the works <2041> of thy hands <5495>:



 8  Thou hast put <5293> all <3956> things in subjection <5293> 
under <5270> his feet <4228>. For in that he put <5293> all 
<3956> in subjection <5293> under him, he left <0863> nothing 
<3762> [that is] not put <0506> under <0506> him. But now <3568> 
we see <3708> not yet <3768> all <3956> things put <5293> under 
<5293> him.



 9  But we see <0991> Jesus <2424>, who <3588> was made <1642> a 
little <1024> lower <1642> than <3844> the angels <0032> for the 
suffering <3804> of death <2288>, crowned <4737> with glory 
<1391> and honour <5092>; that he by the grace <5485> of God 
<2316> should taste <1089> death <2288> for every <3956> man.



 10. For it became <4241> him, for whom <3739> [are] all <3956> 
things, and by whom <3739> [are] all <3956> things, in bringing 
<0071> many <4183> sons <5207> unto glory <1391>, to make <5055> 
the captain <0747> of their salvation <4991> perfect <5048> 
through <1223> sufferings <3804>.



 11  For both <5037> he that sanctifieth <0037> and they who are 
sanctified <0037> [are] all <3956> of one <1520>: for which 
<3739> cause <0156> he is not ashamed <1870> to call <2564> them 
brethren <0080>,



 12  Saying <3004>, I will declare <0518> thy name <3686> unto 
my brethren <0080>, in the midst <3319> of the church <1577> 
will I sing <5214> praise <5214> unto thee.



 13  And again <3825>, I will put <3982> my trust <3982> in him. 
And again <3825>, Behold <2400> I and the children <3813> which 
<3739> God <2316> hath given <1325> me.



 14. Forasmuch <1893> then <3767> as the children <3813> are 
partakers <2841> of flesh <4561> and blood <0129>, he also 
<2532> himself <0846> likewise <3898> took <3348> part <3348> of 
the same <0846>; that through <1223> death <2288> he might 
destroy <2673> him that had <2192> the power <2904> of death 
<2288>, that is, the devil <1228>;



 15  And deliver <0525> them who <3745> through fear <5401> of 
death <2288> were all <3956> their lifetime <2198> subject 
<1777> to bondage <1397>.



 16  For verily <1222> he took <1949> not on <1949> [him the 
nature of] angels <0032>; but he took <1949> on <1949> [him] the 
seed <4690> of Abraham <11>.



 17  Wherefore <3606> in all <3956> things it behoved <3784> him 
to be made <3666> like <3666> unto [his] brethren <0080>, that 
he might be a merciful <1655> and faithful <4103> high <0749> 
priest <0749> in things [pertaining] to God <2316>, to make 
<2433> reconciliation <2433> for the sins <0266> of the people 
<2992>.



 18  For in that he himself <0846> hath suffered <3958> being 
tempted <3985>, he is able <1410> to succour <0997> them that 
are tempted <3985>.



Hebrews   3



 1. Wherefore <3606>, holy <0040> brethren <0080>, partakers 
<3353> of the heavenly <2032> calling <2821>, consider <2657> 
the Apostle <0652> and High <0749> Priest <0749> of our 
profession <3671>, Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>;



 2  Who was faithful <4103> to him that appointed <4160> him, as 
also <2532> Moses <3475> [was faithful] in all <3650> his house 
<3624>.



 3  For this <3778> [man] was counted <0515> worthy <0515> of 
more <4119> glory <1391> than <3844> Moses <3475>, inasmuch 
<3745> as he who hath builded <2680> the house <3624> hath 
<2192> more <4119> honour <5092> than the house <3624>.



 4  For every <3956> house <3624> is builded <2680> by some 
<5100> [man]; but he that built <2680> all <3956> things [is] 
God <2316>.



 5  And Moses <3475> verily <3303> [was] faithful <4103> in all 
<3650> his house <3624>, as a servant <2324>, for a testimony 
<3142> of those <3588> things which were to be spoken <2980> 
after;



 6  But Christ <5547> as a son <5207> over <1909> his own <0848> 
house <3624>; whose <3739> house <3624> are we, if <1437> we 
hold <2722> fast <2722> the confidence <3954> and the rejoicing 
<2745> of the hope <1680> firm <0949> unto the end <5056>.



 7. Wherefore <1352> (as the Holy <0040> Ghost <4151> saith 
<3004>, To day <4594> if <1437> ye will hear <0191> his voice 
<5456>,



 8  Harden <4645> not your <5216> hearts <2588>, as in the 
provocation <3894>, in the day <2250> of temptation <3986> in 
the wilderness <2048>:



 9  When <3756> your <5216> fathers <3962> tempted <3985> me, 
proved <1381> me, and saw <1492> my works <2041> forty <5062> 
years <2094>.



 10  Wherefore <1352> I was grieved <4360> with that generation 
<1074>, and said <2036>, They do alway <0104> err <4105> in 
[their] heart <2588>; and they have not known <1097> my ways 
<3598>.



 11  So <5613> I sware <3660> in my wrath <3709>, They shall not 
enter <1525> into <1519> my rest <2663>.)



 12  Take heed <0991>, brethren <0080>, lest <3379> there be in 
any <5100> of you an evil <4190> heart <2588> of unbelief <0570>,
 in departing <0868> from the living <2198> God <2316>.



 13  But exhort <3870> one <1438> another <1438> daily <2250>, 
while <3739> it is called <2564> To day <4594>; lest <3361> any 
<5100> of you be hardened <4645> through the deceitfulness 
<0539> of sin <0266>.



 14  For we are made <1096> partakers <3353> of Christ <5547>, 
if <1437> we hold <2722> the beginning <0746> of our confidence 
<5287> stedfast <0949> unto the end <5056>;



 15  While <3588> it is said <3004>, To day <4594> if <1437> ye 
will hear <0191> his voice <5456>, harden <4645> not your <5216> 
hearts <2588>, as in the provocation <3894>.



 16  For some <5100>, when they had heard <0191>, did provoke 
<3893>: howbeit <0235> not all <3956> that came <1831> out of 
Egypt <0125> by Moses <3475>.



 17  But with whom <5101> was he grieved <4360> forty <5062> 
years <2094>? [was it] not with them that had sinned <0264>, 
whose <3739> carcases <2966> fell <4098> in the wilderness 
<2048>?



 18  And to whom <5101> sware <3660> he that they should not 
enter <1525> into <1519> his rest <2663>, but to them that 
believed <0544> not?



 19  So <2532> we see <0991> that they could <1410> not enter 
<1525> in because <1223> of unbelief <0570>.



Hebrews   4



 1. Let us therefore <3767> fear <5399>, lest <3379>, a promise 
<1860> being left <2641> [us] of entering <1525> into <1519> his 
rest <2663>, any <5100> of you should seem <1380> to come <5302> 
short <5302> of it.



 2  For unto us was the gospel <2097> preached <2097>, as well 
<2509> as unto them: but the word <3056> preached <0189> did not 
profit <5623> them, not being mixed <4786> with faith <4102> in 
them that heard <0191> [it].



 3  For we which <3588> have believed <4100> do enter <1525> 
into <1519> rest <2663>, as he said <2046>, As I have sworn 
<3660> in my wrath <3709>, if <1487> they shall enter <1525> 
into <1519> my rest <2663>: although <2543> the works <2041> 
were finished <1096> from the foundation <2602> of the world 
<2889>.



 4  For he spake <2046> in a certain <4225> place of the seventh 
<1442> [day] on this <3779> wise <3779>, And God <2316> did rest 
<2664> the seventh <1442> day <2250> from all <3956> his works 
<2041>.



 5  And in this <5129> [place] again <3825>, If <1487> they 
shall enter <1525> into <1519> my rest <2663>.



 6  Seeing <1893> therefore <3767> it remaineth <0620> that some 
<5100> must enter <1525> therein <0846>, and they to whom it was 
first <4386> preached <2097> entered <1525> not in because 
<1223> of unbelief <0543>:



 7  Again <3825>, he limiteth <3724> a certain <5100> day <2250>,
 saying <3004> in David <1138>, To day <4594>, after <3326> so 
<5118> long <5118> a time <5550>; as it is said <2046>, To day 
<4594> if <1437> ye will hear <0191> his voice <5456>, harden 
<4645> not your <5216> hearts <2588>.



 8  For if <1487> Jesus <2424> had given them rest <2664>, then 
would he not afterward <5023> have spoken <2980> of another 
<0243> day <2250>.



 9  There remaineth <0620> therefore <0686> a rest <4520> to the 
people <2992> of God <2316>.



 10  For he that is entered <1525> into <1519> his rest <2663>, 
he also <2532> hath ceased <2664> from his own <0848> works 
<2041>, as God <2316> [did] from his.



 11. Let us labour <4704> therefore <3767> to enter <1525> into 
<1519> that rest <2663>, lest <3361> any <5100> man fall <4098> 
after <1722> the same <0846> example <5262> of unbelief <0543>.



 12  For the word <3056> of God <2316> [is] quick <2198>, and 
powerful <1756>, and sharper <5114> than <5228> any <3956> 
twoedged <1366> sword <3162>, piercing <1338> even to the 
dividing <3311> asunder of soul <5590> and spirit <4151>, and of 
the joints <0719> and marrow <3452>, and [is] a discerner <2924> 
of the thoughts <1761> and intents <1771> of the heart <2588>.



 13  Neither <3756> is there any creature <2937> that is not 
manifest <0852> in his sight <1799>: but all <3956> things [are] 
naked <1131> and opened <5136> unto the eyes <3788> of him with 
whom <3739> we have to do <3056>.



 14  Seeing then <3767> that we have <2192> a great <3173> high 
<0749> priest <0749>, that is passed <1330> into the heavens 
<3772>, Jesus <2424> the Son <5207> of God <2316>, let us hold 
<2902> fast [our] profession <3671>.



 15  For we have <2192> not an high <0749> priest <0749> which 
cannot <1410> be touched <4834> with the feeling <4834> of our 
infirmities <0769>; but was in all <3956> points tempted <3985> 
like <3665> as [we are, yet] without <5565> sin <0266>.



 16  Let us therefore <3767> come <4334> boldly <3954> unto the 
throne <2362> of grace <5485>, that we may obtain <2983> mercy 
<1656>, and find <2147> grace <5485> to help <0996> in time 
<2121> of need <2121>.



Hebrews   5



 1. For every <3956> high <0749> priest <0749> taken <2983> from 
among <3319> men <0444> is ordained <2525> for men <0444> in 
things [pertaining] to God <2316>, that he may offer <4374> both 
<5037> gifts <1435> and sacrifices <2378> for sins <0266>:



 2  Who can <1410> have compassion <3356> on the ignorant <0050>,
 and on them that are out of the way <4105>; for that he himself 
<0846> also <2532> is compassed <4029> with infirmity <0769>.



 3  And by reason <1223> hereof <5026> he ought <3784>, as for 
the people <2992>, so <3779> also <2532> for himself <1438>, to 
offer <4374> for sins <0266>.



 4  And no <3756> man <5100> taketh <2983> this <3588> honour 
<5092> unto himself <1438>, but he that is called <2564> of God 
<2316>, as [was] Aaron <0002>.



 5  So <3779> also <2532> Christ <5547> glorified <1392> not 
himself <1438> to be made <1096> an high <0749> priest <0749>; 
but he that said <2980> unto him, Thou art <1488> my Son <5207>, 
to day <4594> have I begotten <1080> thee.



 6  As he saith <3004> also <2532> in another <2087> [place], 
Thou [art] a priest <2409> for ever <0165> after <2596> the 
order <5010> of Melchisedec <3198>.



 7  Who <3739> in the days <2250> of his flesh <4561>, when he 
had offered <4374> up prayers <1162> and supplications <2428> 
with strong <2478> crying <2906> and tears <1144> unto him that 
was able <1410> to save <4982> him from death <2288>, and was 
heard <1522> in that he feared <2124>;



 8  Though <2539> he were a Son <5207>, yet learned <3129> he 
obedience <5218> by the things which <3739> he suffered <3958>;



 9  And being made <5048> perfect <5048>, he became <1096> the 
author <0159> of eternal <0166> salvation <4991> unto all <3956> 
them that obey <5219> him;



 10. Called <4316> of God <2316> an high <0749> priest <0749> 
after <2596> the order <5010> of Melchisedec <3198>.



 11  Of whom <3739> we have many <4183> things to say <3056>, 
and hard <1421> to be uttered <3004>, seeing <1893> ye are dull 
<3576> of hearing <0189>.



 12  For when for the time <5550> ye ought <3784> to be teachers 
<1320>, ye have <2192> need <5532> that one teach <1321> you 
again <3825> which <5101> [be] the first <0746> principles 
<4747> of the oracles <3051> of God <2316>; and are become 
<1096> such as have <2192> need <5532> of milk <1051>, and not 
of strong <4731> meat <5160>.



 13  For every <3956> one that useth <3348> milk <1051> [is] 
unskilful <0552> in the word <3056> of righteousness <1343>: for 
he is a babe <3516>.



 14  But strong <4731> meat <5160> belongeth <1510> to them that 
are of full <5046> age <5046>, [even] those <3588> who by reason 
<1223> of use <1838> have <2192> their senses <0145> exercised 
<1128> to discern <1253> both <5037> good <2570> and evil <2556>.



Hebrews   6



 1. Therefore leaving <0863> the principles <0746> of the 
doctrine <3056> of Christ <5547>, let us go <5342> on unto 
perfection <5051>; not laying <2598> again <3825> the foundation 
<2310> of repentance <3341> from dead <3498> works <2041>, and 
of faith <4102> toward <1909> God <2316>,



 2  Of the doctrine <1322> of baptisms <0909>, and of laying 
<1936> on <1936> of hands <5495>, and of resurrection <0386> of 
the dead <3498>, and of eternal <0166> judgment <2917>.



 3  And this <5124> will we do <4160>, if <1437> God <2316> 
permit <2010>.



 4  For [it is] impossible <0102> for those <3588> who were once 
<0530> enlightened <5461>, and have tasted <1089> of the 
heavenly <2032> gift <1431>, and were made <1096> partakers 
<3353> of the Holy <0040> Ghost <4151>,



 5  And have tasted <1089> the good <2570> word <4487> of God 
<2316>, and the powers <1411> of the world <0165> to come <3195>,



 6  If they shall fall <3895> away <3895>, to renew <0340> them 
again <3825> unto repentance <3341>; seeing they crucify <0388> 
to themselves <1438> the Son <5207> of God <2316> afresh <0388>, 
and put <3856> [him] to an open <3856> shame <3856>.



 7  For the earth <1093> which <3588> drinketh <4095> in the 
rain <5205> that cometh <2064> oft <4178> upon it, and bringeth 
<5088> forth <5088> herbs <1008> meet <2111> for them by whom 
<3739> it is dressed <1090>, receiveth <3335> blessing <2129> 
from God <2316>:



 8  But that which beareth <1627> thorns <0173> and briers 
<5146> [is] rejected <0096>, and [is] nigh <1451> unto cursing 
<2671>; whose <3739> end <5056> [is] to be burned <2740>.



 9. But, beloved <0027>, we are persuaded <3982> better <2909> 
things of you, and things that accompany <2192> salvation <4991>,
 though <1499> we thus <3779> speak <2980>.



 10  For God <2316> [is] not unrighteous <0094> to forget <1950> 
your <5216> work <2041> and labour <2873> of love <0026>, which 
<3739> ye have shewed <1731> toward <1519> his name <3686>, in 
that ye have ministered <1247> to the saints <0040>, and do 
minister <1247>.



 11  And we desire <1937> that every <1538> one of you do shew 
<1731> the same <0846> diligence <4710> to the full <4136> 
assurance <4136> of hope <1680> unto the end <5056>:



 12  That ye be not slothful <3576>, but followers <3402> of 
them who through <1223> faith <4102> and patience <3115> inherit 
<2816> the promises <1860>.



 13  For when God <2316> made <1861> promise <1861> to Abraham 
<11>, because <1893> he could <2192> swear <3660> by no <3762> 
greater <3187>, he sware <3660> by himself <1438>,



 14  Saying <3004>, Surely <2229> blessing <2129> I will bless 
<2127> thee, and multiplying <4129> I will multiply <4129> thee.



 15  And so <3779>, after he had patiently <3114> endured <3114>,
 he obtained <2013> the promise <1860>.



 16  For men <0444> verily <3303> swear <3660> by the greater 
<3187>: and an oath <3727> for confirmation <0951> [is] to them 
an end <4009> of all <3956> strife <0485>.



 17  Wherein <3757> God <2316>, willing <1014> more <4054> 
abundantly <4054> to shew <1925> unto the heirs <2818> of 
promise <1860> the immutability <0276> of his counsel <1012>, 
confirmed <3315> [it] by an oath <3727>:



 18  That by two <1417> immutable <0276> things, in which <3739> 
[it was] impossible <0102> for God <2316> to lie <5574>, we 
might have <2192> a strong <2478> consolation <3874>, who <3588> 
have fled <2703> for refuge <2703> to lay hold <2902> upon the 
hope <1680> set <4295> before <4295> us:



 19  Which <3739> [hope] we have <2192> as an anchor <0045> of 
the soul <5590>, both <5037> sure <0804> and stedfast <0949>, 
and which entereth <1535> into <1519> that within <2082> the 
veil <2665>;



 20  Whither <3699> the forerunner <4274> is for us entered 
<1525>, [even] Jesus <2424>, made <1096> an high <0749> priest 
<0749> for ever <0165> after <2596> the order <5010> of 
Melchisedec <3198>.



Hebrews   7



 1. For this <3778> Melchisedec <3198>, king <0935> of Salem 
<4532>, priest <2409> of the most <5310> high <5310> God <2316>, 
who <3588> met <4876> Abraham <0011>returning <5290> from the 
slaughter <2871> of the kings <0935>, and blessed <2127> him;



 2  To whom <3739> also <2532> Abraham <0011>gave a tenth <1181> 
part <3307> of all <3956>; first <4412> being by interpretation 
<2059> King <0935> of righteousness <1343>, and after <1899> 
that also <2532> King <0935> of Salem <4532>, which <3739> is, 
King <0935> of peace <1515>;



 3  Without <0540> father <0540>, without <0282> mother <0282>, 
without <0035> descent <0035>, having <2192> neither <3383> 
beginning <0746> of days <2250>, nor <3383> end <5056> of life 
<2222>; but made <0871> like <0871> unto the Son <5207> of God 
<2316>; abideth <3306> a priest <2409> continually <1336>.



 4  Now <1161> consider <2334> how <4080> great <4080> this 
<3778> man [was], unto whom <3739> even <2532> the patriarch 
<3966> Abraham <0011>gave <1325> the tenth <1181> of the spoils 
<0205>.



 5  And verily <3303> they that are of the sons <5207> of Levi 
<3017>, who <3588> receive <2983> the office <2405> of the 
priesthood <2405>, have <2192> a commandment <1785> to take 
tithes <0586> of the people <2992> according <2596> to the law 
<3551>, that is, of their brethren <0080>, though <2539> they 
come <1831> out of the loins <3751> of Abraham <11>:



 6  But he whose descent <1075> is not counted <1075> from them 
received <1183> tithes <1183> of Abraham <11>, and blessed 
<2127> him that had <2192> the promises <1860>.



 7  And without <5565> all <3956> contradiction <0485> the less 
<1640> is blessed <2127> of the better <2909>.



 8  And here <5602> men <0444> that die <0599> receive <2983> 
tithes <1181>; but there <1563> he [receiveth them], of whom it 
is witnessed <3140> that he liveth <2198>.



 9  And as I may so <5613> say <2036>, Levi <3017> also <2532>, 
who <3588> receiveth <2983> tithes <1183>, payed <1183> tithes 
<1183> in Abraham <11>.



 10  For he was yet <2089> in the loins <3751> of his father 
<3962>, when <3753> Melchisedec <3198> met <4876> him.



 11. If <1487> therefore <3767> perfection <5050> were by the 
Levitical <3020> priesthood <2420>, (for under <1909> it the 
people <2992> received <3549> the law <3549>,) what <5101> 
further <2089> need <5532> [was there] that another <2087> 
priest <2409> should rise <0450> after <2596> the order <5010> 
of Melchisedec <3198>, and not be called <3004> after <2596> the 
order <5010> of Aaron <0002>?



 12  For the priesthood <2420> being changed <3346>, there is 
made <1096> of necessity <0318> a change <3331> also <2532> of 
the law <3551>.



 13  For he of whom <3739> these <5023> things <4229> are spoken 
<3004> pertaineth <3348> to another <2087> tribe <5443>, of 
which <3739> no <3762> man <3762> gave <4337> attendance <4337> 
at the altar <2379>.



 14  For [it is] evident <4271> that our Lord <2962> sprang 
<0393> out of Juda <2455>; of which <3739> tribe <5443> Moses 
<3475> spake <2980> nothing <3762> concerning <4012> priesthood 
<2420>.



 15  And it is yet <2089> far <4054> more <4055> evident <2612>: 
for that after <2596> the similitude <3665> of Melchisedec 
<3198> there ariseth <0450> another <2087> priest <2409>,



 16  Who <3739> is made <1096>, not after <2596> the law <3551> 
of a carnal <4559> commandment <1785>, but after <2596> the 
power <1411> of an endless <0179> life <2222>.



 17  For he testifieth <3140>, Thou [art] a priest <2409> for 
ever <0165> after <2596> the order <5010> of Melchisedec <3198>.



 18  For there is verily <3303> a disannulling <0115> of the 
commandment <1785> going <4254> before <4254> for the weakness 
<0772> and unprofitableness <0512> thereof <0846>.



 19  For the law <3551> made <5048> nothing <3762> perfect 
<5048>, but the bringing <1898> in of a better <2909> hope 
<1680> [did]; by the which <3739> we draw nigh <1448> unto God 
<2316>.



 20  And inasmuch <3745> as not without <5565> an oath <3728> 
[he was made priest]:



 21  (For those <3588> priests <2409> were made <1096> without 
<5565> an oath <3728>; but this with an oath <3728> by him that 
said <3004> unto him, The Lord <2962> sware <3660> and will not 
repent <3338>, Thou [art] a priest <2409> for ever <0165> after 
<2596> the order <5010> of Melchisedec <3198>:)



 22  By so <5118> much <5118> was Jesus <2424> made <1096> a 
surety <1450> of a better <2909> testament <1242>.



 23  And they truly <3303> were many <4119> priests <2409>, 
because <1223> they were not suffered <2967> to continue <3887> 
by reason of death <2288>:



 24  But this <3588> [man], because <1223> he continueth <3306> 
ever <0165>, hath <2192> an unchangeable <0531> priesthood 
<2420>.



 25  Wherefore <3606> he is able <1410> also <2532> to save 
<4982> them to the uttermost <3838> that come <4334> unto God 
<2316> by him, seeing he ever <3842> liveth <2198> to make 
<1793> intercession <1793> for them.



 26  For such <5108> an high <0749> priest <0749> became <4241> 
us, [who is] holy <3741>, harmless <0172>, undefiled <0283>, 
separate <5562> from sinners <0268>, and made <1096> higher 
<5308> than the heavens <3772>;



 27  Who <3739> needeth <0318> not daily <2250>, as those <3588> 
high <0749> priests <0749>, to offer <0399> up sacrifice <2378>, 
first <4386> for his own <2398> sins <0266>, and then <1899> for 
the people's <2992>: for this <5124> he did <4160> once <2178>, 
when he offered up himself <1438>.



 28  For the law <3551> maketh <2525> men <0444> high <0749> 
priests <0749> which have <2192> infirmity <0769>; but the word 
<3056> of the oath <3728>, which <3588> was since <3326> the law 
<3551>, [maketh] the Son <5207>, who is consecrated <5048> for 
evermore <0165>.



Hebrews   8



 1. Now <1161> of the things which we have spoken <3004> [this 
is] the sum <2774>: We have <2192> such <5108> an high <0749> 
priest <0749>, who <3739> is set <2523> on <1722> the right 
<1188> hand of the throne <2362> of the Majesty <3172> in the 
heavens <3772>;



 2  A minister <3011> of the sanctuary <0039>, and of the true 
<0228> tabernacle <4633>, which <3739> the Lord <2962> pitched 
<4078>, and not man <0444>.



 3  For every <3956> high <0749> priest <0749> is ordained 
<2525> to offer <4374> gifts <1435> and sacrifices <2378>: 
wherefore <3606> [it is] of necessity <0316> that this <5126> 
man have <2192> somewhat <5100> also <2532> to offer <4374>.



 4  For if <1487> he were on <1909> earth <1093>, he should not 
be a priest <2409>, seeing that there are priests <2409> that 
offer <4374> gifts <1435> according <2596> to the law <3551>:



 5  Who <3748> serve <3000> unto the example <5262> and shadow 
<4639> of heavenly <2032> things, as Moses <3475> was admonished 
<5537> of God <5537> when he was about <3195> to make <2005> the 
tabernacle <4633>: for, See <3708>, saith <5346> he, [that] thou 
make <4160> all <3956> things according <2596> to the pattern 
<5179> shewed <1166> to thee in the mount <3735>.



 6. But now <3570> hath he obtained <5177> a more excellent 
<1313> ministry <3009>, by how <3745> much <3745> also <2532> he 
is the mediator <3316> of a better <2909> covenant <1242>, which 
<3748> was established <3549> upon better <2909> promises <1860>.



 7  For if <1487> that first <4413> [covenant] had been <2258> 
faultless <0273>, then should no <3756> place <5117> have been 
sought <2212> for the second <1208>.



 8  For finding fault <3201> with them, he saith <3004>, Behold 
<2400>, the days <2250> come <2064>, saith <3004> the Lord 
<2962>, when I will make <4931> a new <2537> covenant <1242> 
with the house <3624> of Israel <2474> and with the house <3624> 
of Judah <2455>:



 9  Not according <2596> to the covenant <1242> that I made 
<4160> with their fathers <3962> in the day <2250> when I took 
<1949> them by the hand <5495> to lead <1806> them out of the 
land <1093> of Egypt <0125>; because <3754> they continued 
<1696> not in my covenant <1242>, and I regarded <0272> them not,
 saith <3004> the Lord <2962>.



 10  For this <3778> [is] the covenant <1242> that I will make 
<1303> with the house <3624> of Israel <2474> after <3326> those 
<1565> days <2250>, saith <3004> the Lord <2962>; I will put 
<1325> my laws <3551> into <1519> their mind <1271>, and write 
<1924> them in their hearts <2588>: and I will be to them a God 
<2316>, and they shall be to me a people <2992>:



 11  And they shall not teach <1321> every <1538> man his 
neighbour <4139>, and every <1538> man his brother <0080>, 
saying <3004>, Know <1097> the Lord <2962>: for all <3956> shall 
know <1492> me, from the least <3398> to the greatest <3173>.



 12  For I will be merciful <2436> to their unrighteousness 
<0093>, and their sins <0266> and their iniquities <0458> will I 
remember <3415> no <3364> more <2089>.



 13  In that he saith <3004>, A new <2537> [covenant], he hath 
made <3822> the first <4413> old <3822>. Now <1161> that which 
decayeth <3822> and waxeth <1095> old <1095> [is] ready <1451> 
to vanish <0854> away.



Hebrews   9



 1. Then <3767> verily <3303> the first <4413> [covenant] had 
<2192> also <2532> ordinances <1345> of divine <2999> service 
<2999>, and a worldly <2886> sanctuary <0039>.



 2  For there was a tabernacle <4633> made <2680>; the first 
<4413>, wherein <3757> [was] the candlestick <3087>, and the 
table <5132>, and the shewbread <0740>; which <3748> is called 
<3004> the sanctuary <0039>.



 3  And after <3326> the second <1208> veil <2665>, the 
tabernacle <4633> which <3588> is called <3004> the Holiest 
<0039> of all;



 4  Which had <2192> the golden <5552> censer <2369>, and the 
ark <2787> of the covenant <1242> overlaid <4028> round <3840> 
about <3840> with gold <5553>, wherein <3757> [was] the golden 
<5552> pot <4713> that had <2192> manna <3131>, and Aaron's 
<0002> rod <4464> that budded <0985>, and the tables <4109> of 
the covenant <1242>;



 5  And over <5231> it the cherubims <5502> of glory <1391> 
shadowing <2683> the mercyseat <2435>; of which <3739> we cannot 
<1410> now <3568> speak <3004> particularly <3313>.



 6  Now <1161> when these <5130> things were thus <3779> 
ordained <2680>, the priests <2409> went <1524> always <1275> 
into <1519> the first <4413> tabernacle <4633>, accomplishing 
<2005> the service <2999> [of God].



 7  But into <1519> the second <1208> [went] the high <0749> 
priest <0749> alone <3441> once <0530> every year <1763>, not 
without <5565> blood <0129>, which <3739> he offered <4374> for 
himself <1438>, and [for] the errors <0051> of the people <2992>:



 8. The Holy <0040> Ghost <4151> this <5124> signifying <1213>, 
that the way <3598> into the holiest <0039> of all was not yet 
<2089> made <5319> manifest <5319>, while as the first <4413> 
tabernacle <4633> was yet <2089> standing <4714>:



 9  Which <3748> [was] a figure <3850> for the time <2540> then 
<3588> present <1764>, in which <3739> were offered both <5037> 
gifts <1435> and sacrifices <2378>, that could <1410> not make 
<5055> him that did <3000> the service <3000> perfect <5048>, as 
pertaining to the conscience <4893>;



 10  [Which stood] only <3440> in meats <1033> and drinks <4188>,
 and divers <1313> washings <0909>, and carnal <4561> ordinances 
<1345>, imposed <1945> [on them] until <3360> the time <2540> of 
reformation <1357>.



 11  But Christ <5547> being come <3854> an high <0749> priest 
<0749> of good <0018> things to come <3195>, by a greater <3187> 
and more perfect <5046> tabernacle <4633>, not made <5499> with 
hands <5499>, that is to say, not of this <5026> building <2937>;



 12  Neither <3761> by the blood <0129> of goats <5131> and 
calves <3448>, but by his own <2398> blood <0129> he entered 
<1525> in once <2178> into <1519> the holy <0039> place, having 
obtained <2174> eternal <0166> redemption <3085> [for us].



 13  For if <1487> the blood <0129> of bulls <5022> and of goats 
<5131>, and the ashes <4700> of an heifer <1151> sprinkling 
<4472> the unclean <2840>, sanctifieth <0037> to the purifying 
<2514> of the flesh <4561>:



 14  How <4214> much <4214> more <3123> shall the blood <0129> 
of Christ <5547>, who <3739> through <1223> the eternal <0166> 
Spirit <4151> offered <4374> himself <1438> without <0299> spot 
<0299> to God <2316>, purge <2511> your <5216> conscience <4893> 
from dead <3498> works <2041> to serve <3000> the living <2198> 
God <2316>?



 15. And for this <5124> cause <1223> he is the mediator <3316> 
of the new <2537> testament <1242>, that by means <1096> of 
death <2288>, for the redemption <0629> of the transgressions 
<3847> [that were] under <1909> the first <4413> testament 
<1242>, they which are called <2564> might receive <2983> the 
promise <1860> of eternal <0166> inheritance <2817>.



 16  For where <3699> a testament <1242> [is], there must also 
of necessity <0318> be the death <2288> of the testator <1303>.



 17  For a testament <1242> [is] of force <0949> after men are 
dead <3498>: otherwise <1893> it is of no <3361> strength <2480> 
at <3379> all <4219> while <3753> the testator <1303> liveth 
<2198>.



 18  Whereupon <3606> neither <3761> the first <4413> 
[testament] was dedicated <1457> without <5565> blood <0129>.



 19  For when Moses <3475> had spoken <2980> every <3956> 
precept <1785> to all <3956> the people <2992> according <2596> 
to the law <3551>, he took <2983> the blood <0129> of calves 
<3448> and of goats <5131>, with water <5203>, and scarlet 
<2847> wool <2053>, and hyssop <5301>, and sprinkled <4472> both 
<5037> the book <0975>, and all <3956> the people <2992>,



 20  Saying <3004>, This <5124> [is] the blood <0129> of the 
testament <1242> which <3739> God <2316> hath enjoined <1781> 
unto you.



 21  Moreover <1161> he sprinkled <4472> with blood <0129> both 
<2532> the tabernacle <4633>, and all <3956> the vessels <4632> 
of the ministry <3009>.



 22  And almost <4975> all <3956> things are by the law <3551> 
purged <2511> with blood <0129>; and without <5565> shedding 
<0130> of blood <0130> is no <3756> remission <0859>.



 23. [It was] therefore <3767> necessary <0318> that the 
patterns <5262> of things in the heavens <3772> should be 
purified <2511> with these <5125>; but the heavenly <2032> 
things themselves <0846> with better <2909> sacrifices <2378> 
than <3844> these <5025>.



 24  For Christ <5547> is not entered <1525> into <1519> the 
holy <0039> places made <5499> with hands <5499>, [which are] 
the figures <0499> of the true <0228>; but into <1519> heaven 
<3772> itself <0846>, now <3568> to appear <1718> in the 
presence <4383> of God <2316> for us:



 25  Nor <3761> yet that he should offer <4374> himself <1438> 
often <4178>, as the high <0749> priest <0749> entereth <1535> 
into <1519> the holy <0039> place every <2596> year <1763> with 
blood <0129> of others <0245>;



 26  For then must <1163> he often <4178> have suffered <3958> 
since <0575> the foundation <2602> of the world <2889>: but now 
<3568> once <0530> in the end <4930> of the world <0165> hath he 
appeared <5319> to put <0115> away <0115> sin <0266> by the 
sacrifice <2378> of himself <0848>.



 27  And as it is appointed <0606> unto men <0444> once <0530> 
to die <0599>, but after <3326> this <5124> the judgment <2920>:



 28  So <3779> Christ <5547> was once <0530> offered <4374> to 
bear <0399> the sins <0266> of many <4183>; and unto them that 
look <0553> for him shall he appear <3700> the second <1208> 
time without <5565> sin <0266> unto salvation <4991>.



Hebrews  10



 1. For the law <3551> having <2192> a shadow <4639> of good 
<0018> things to come <3195>, [and] not the very <0846> image 
<1504> of the things <4229>, can <1410> never <3763> with those 
<0846> sacrifices <2378> which <3739> they offered <4374> year 
<1763> by year <1763> continually <1336> make <5055> the comers 
<4334> thereunto <4334> perfect <5048>.



 2  For then would they not have ceased <3973> to be offered 
<4374>? because <1223> that the worshippers <3000> once <0530> 
purged <2508> should have <2192> had <2192> no <3367> more 
<2089> conscience <4893> of sins <0266>.



 3  But in those <0846> [sacrifices there is] a remembrance 
<0364> again <0364> [made] of sins <0266> every <2596> year 
<1763>.



 4  For [it is] not possible <0102> that the blood <0129> of 
bulls <5022> and of goats <5131> should take <0851> away <0851> 
sins <0266>.



 5  Wherefore <1352> when he cometh into <1519> the world <2889>,
 he saith <3004>, Sacrifice <2378> and offering <4376> thou 
wouldest <2309> not, but a body <4983> hast thou prepared <2675> 
me:



 6  In burnt <3646> offerings <3646> and [sacrifices] for sin 
<0266> thou hast had no <3756> pleasure <2106>.



 7. Then <5119> said <2036> I, Lo <2400>, I come <2240> (in the 
volume <2777> of the book <0975> it is written <1125> of me,) to 
do <4160> thy will <2307>, O God <2316>.



 8  Above <0511> when he said <3004>, Sacrifice <2378> and 
offering <4376> and burnt <3646> offerings <3646> and [offering] 
for sin <0266> thou wouldest <2309> not, neither <3761> hadst 
pleasure <2106> [therein]; which <3748> are offered <4374> by 
the law <3551>;



 9  Then <5119> said <2046> he, Lo <2400>, I come <2240> to do 
<4160> thy will <2307>, O God <2316>. He taketh <0337> away 
<0337> the first <4413>, that he may establish <2476> the second 
<1208>.



 10  By the which <3739> will <2307> we are sanctified <0037> 
through <1223> the offering <4376> of the body <4983> of Jesus 
<2424> Christ <5547> once <2178> [for all <2178>].



 11  And every <3956> priest <2409> standeth <2476> daily <2250> 
ministering <3008> and offering <4374> oftentimes <4178> the 
same <0846> sacrifices <2378>, which <3748> can <1410> never 
<3763> take <4014> away <4014> sins <0266>:



 12  But this <3778> man, after he had offered <4374> one <3391> 
sacrifice <2378> for sins <0266> for ever <1336>, sat <2523> 
down <2523> on <1722> the right <1188> hand of God <2316>;



 13  From henceforth <3063> expecting <1551> till <2193> his 
enemies <2190> be made <5087> his footstool <5286>.



 14  For by one <3391> offering <4376> he hath perfected <5048> 
for ever <1336> them that are sanctified <0037>.



 15  [Whereof] the Holy <0040> Ghost <4151> also <2532> is a 
witness <3140> to us: for after <3326> that he had said <4280> 
before <4280>,



 16  This <3778> [is] the covenant <1242> that I will make 
<1303> with them after <3326> those <1565> days <2250>, saith 
<3004> the Lord <2962>, I will put <1325> my laws <3551> into 
<1909> their hearts <2588>, and in their minds <1271> will I 
write <1924> them;



 17  And their sins <0266> and iniquities <0458> will I remember 
<3415> no <3361> more <2089>.



 18  Now <1161> where <3699> remission <0859> of these <5130> 
[is, there is] no <3765> more <2089> offering <4376> for sin 
<0266>.



 19. Having <2192> therefore <3767>, brethren <0080>, boldness 
<3954> to enter <1529> into the holiest <0039> by the blood 
<0129> of Jesus <2424>,



 20  By a new <4372> and living <2198> way <3598>, which <3739> 
he hath consecrated <1457> for us, through <1223> the veil 
<2665>, that is to say, his flesh <4561>;



 21  And [having] an high <3173> priest <2409> over <1909> the 
house <3624> of God <2316>;



 22  Let us draw <4334> near <4334> with a true <0227> heart 
<2588> in full <4136> assurance <4136> of faith <4102>, having 
our hearts <2588> sprinkled <4472> from an evil <4190> 
conscience <4893>, and our bodies <4983> washed <3068> with pure 
<2513> water <5203>.



 23  Let us hold <2722> fast <2722> the profession <3671> of 
[our] faith <1680> without <0186> wavering <0186>; (for he [is] 
faithful <4103> that promised <1861>;)



 24  And let us consider <2657> one <0240> another <0240> to 
provoke <3948> unto love <0026> and to good <2570> works <2041>:



 25  Not forsaking <1459> the assembling <1997> of ourselves 
<1438> together <1997>, as the manner <1485> of some <5100> [is];
 but exhorting <3870> [one another]: and so <5118> much <5118> 
the more <3123>, as ye see <0991> the day <2250> approaching 
<1448>.



 26  For if we sin <0264> wilfully <1596> after <3326> that we 
have received <2983> the knowledge <1922> of the truth <0225>, 
there remaineth <0620> no <3765> more <2089> sacrifice <2378> 
for sins <0266>,



 27  But a certain <5100> fearful <5398> looking <1561> for of 
judgment <2920> and fiery <4442> indignation <2205>, which shall 
devour <2068> the adversaries <5227>.



 28  He that despised <0114> Moses <3475>' law <3551> died 
<0599> without <5565> mercy <3628> under <1909> two <1417> or 
<2228> three <5140> witnesses <3144>:



 29  Of how <4214> much <4214> sorer <5501> punishment <5098>, 
suppose <1380> ye, shall he be thought worthy <0515>, who <3588> 
hath trodden <2662> under <2662> foot <2662> the Son <5207> of 
God <2316>, and hath counted <2233> the blood <0129> of the 
covenant <1242>, wherewith <3739> he was sanctified <0037>, an 
unholy <2839> thing, and hath done <1796> despite <1796> unto 
the Spirit <4151> of grace <5485>?



 30  For we know <1492> him that hath said <2036>, Vengeance 
<1557> [belongeth] unto me, I will recompense <0467>, saith 
<3004> the Lord <2962>. And again <3825>, The Lord <2962> shall 
judge <2919> his people <2992>.



 31  [It is] a fearful <5398> thing to fall <1706> into <1519> 
the hands <5495> of the living <2198> God <2316>.



 32  But call <0363> to remembrance <0363> the former <4386> 
days <2250>, in which <3739>, after ye were illuminated <5461>, 
ye endured <5278> a great <4183> fight <0119> of afflictions 
<3804>;



 33  Partly <3303>, whilst ye were made <2301> a gazingstock 
<2301> both <5037> by reproaches <3680> and afflictions <2347>; 
and partly <1161>, whilst ye became <1096> companions <2844> of 
them that were so <3779> used <0390>.



 34  For ye had compassion <4834> of me in my bonds <1199>, and 
took <4327> joyfully <5479> the spoiling <0724> of your <5216> 
goods <5224>, knowing <1097> in yourselves <1438> that ye have 
<2192> in heaven <3772> a better <2909> and an enduring <3306> 
substance <5223>.



 35  Cast <0577> not away <0577> therefore <3767> your <5216> 
confidence <3954>, which <3748> hath <2192> great <3173> 
recompence <3405> of reward <3405>.



 36  For ye have need <5532> of patience <5281>, that, after ye 
have done <4160> the will <2307> of God <2316>, ye might receive 
<2865> the promise <1860>.



 37  For yet <2089> a little <3397> while <3397>, and he that 
shall come <2064> will come <2240>, and will not tarry <5549>.



 38  Now <1161> the just <1342> shall live <2198> by faith 
<4102>: but if <1437> [any man] draw <5288> back <5288>, my soul 
<5590> shall have no <3756> pleasure <2106> in him.



 39  But we are not of them who draw <5289> back <5289> unto 
perdition <0684>; but of them that believe <4102> to the saving 
<4047> of the soul <5590>.



Hebrews  11



 1. Now <1161> faith <4102> is the substance <5287> of things 
<4229> hoped <1679> for, the evidence <1650> of things not seen 
<0991>.



 2  For by it the elders <4245> obtained <3140> a good report 
<3140>.



 3  Through faith <4102> we understand <3539> that the worlds 
<0165> were framed <2675> by the word <4487> of God <2316>, so 
<1519> that things which <3588> are seen <0991> were not made 
<1096> of things which do appear <5316>.



 4. By faith <4102> Abel <0006> offered <4374> unto God <2316> a 
more excellent <4119> sacrifice <2378> than <3844> Cain <2535>, 
by which <3739> he obtained <3140> witness <3140> that he was 
righteous <1342>, God <2316> testifying <3140> of his gifts 
<1435>: and by it he being dead <0599> yet <2089> speaketh 
<2980>.



 5  By faith <4102> Enoch <1802> was translated <3346> that he 
should not see <1492> death <2288>; and was not found <2147>, 
because <1360> God <2316> had translated <3346> him: for before 
<4253> his translation <3331> he had this testimony <3140>, that 
he pleased <2100> God <2316>.



 6  But without <5565> faith <4102> [it is] impossible <0102> to 
please <2100> [him]: for he that cometh <4334> to God <2316> 
must <1163> believe <4100> that he is, and [that] he is a 
rewarder <3406> of them that diligently <1567> seek <1567> him.



 7  By faith <4102> Noah <3575>, being warned <5537> of God of 
things not seen <0991> as yet <3369>, moved <2125> with fear 
<2125>, prepared <2680> an ark <2787> to the saving <4991> of 
his house <3624>; by the which <3739> he condemned <2632> the 
world <2889>, and became <1096> heir <2818> of the righteousness 
<1343> which is by faith <4102>.



 8  By faith <4102> Abraham <11>, when he was called <2564> to 
go <1831> out into <1519> a place <5117> which <3739> he should 
<3195> after <3195> receive <2983> for an inheritance <2817>, 
obeyed <5219>; and he went <1831> out, not knowing <1987> 
whither <4226> he went <2064>.



 9  By faith <4102> he sojourned <3939> in the land <1093> of 
promise <1860>, as [in] a strange <0245> country, dwelling 
<2730> in tabernacles <4633> with Isaac <2464> and Jacob <2384>, 
the heirs <4789> with him of the same promise <1860>:



 10  For he looked <1551> for a city <4172> which hath <2192> 
foundations <2310>, whose <3739> builder <5079> and maker <1217> 
[is] God <2316>.



 11  Through faith <4102> also <2532> Sara <4564> herself <0846> 
received <2983> strength <1411> to conceive <2602> seed <4690>, 
and was delivered <5088> of a child <5088> when she was past 
<3844> age <2244>, because <1893> she judged <2233> him faithful 
<4103> who had promised <1861>.



 12  Therefore <1352> sprang <1080> there even <2532> of one 
<1520>, and him as good as dead <3499>, [so many] as the stars 
<0798> of the sky <3772> in multitude <4128>, and as the sand 
<0285> which <3588> is by the sea <2281> shore <5491> 
innumerable <0382>.



 13  These <3778> all <3956> died <0599> in faith <4102>, not 
having received <2983> the promises <1860>, but having seen 
<1492> them afar <4207> off, and were persuaded <3982> of [them],
 and embraced <0782> [them], and confessed <3670> that they were 
strangers <3581> and pilgrims <3927> on <1909> the earth <1093>.



 14  For they that say <3004> such <5108> things declare <1718> 
plainly <1718> that they seek <1934> a country <3968>.



 15  And truly <3303>, if <1487> they had been mindful <3421> of 
that [country] from whence <3739> they came <1831> out, they 
might have <2192> had <2192> opportunity <2540> to have returned 
<0344>.



 16  But now <3570> they desire <3713> a better <2909> [country],
 that is, an heavenly <2032>: wherefore <1352> God <2316> is not 
ashamed <1870> to be called <1941> their God <2316>: for he hath 
prepared <2090> for them a city <4172>.



 17  By faith <4102> Abraham <11>, when he was tried <3985>, 
offered <4374> up Isaac <2464>: and he that had received <0324> 
the promises <1860> offered <4374> up his only <3439> begotten 
<3439> [son],



 18  Of whom <3739> it was said <2980>, That in Isaac <2464> 
shall thy seed <4690> be called <2564>:



 19  Accounting <3049> that God <2316> [was] able <1415> to 
raise <1453> [him] up, even <2532> from the dead <3498>; from 
whence <3606> also <2532> he received <2865> him in a figure 
<3850>.



 20  By faith <4102> Isaac <2464> blessed <2127> Jacob <2384> 
and Esau <2269> concerning <4012> things to come <3195>.



 21  By faith <4102> Jacob <2384>, when he was a dying <0599>, 
blessed <2127> both <1538> the sons <5207> of Joseph <2501>; and 
worshipped <4352>, [leaning] upon the top <0206> of his staff 
<4464>.



 22  By faith <4102> Joseph <2501>, when he died <5053>, made 
<3421> mention <3421> of the departing <1841> of the children 
<5027> of Israel <2474>; and gave commandment <1781> concerning 
<4012> his bones <3747>.



 23  By faith <4102> Moses <3475>, when he was born <1080>, was 
hid <2928> three <5150> months <5150> of his parents <3962>, 
because <1360> they saw <1492> [he was] a proper <0791> child 
<3813>; and they were not afraid <5399> of the king's <0935> 
commandment <1297>.



 24  By faith <4102> Moses <3475>, when he was come <1096> to 
years <3173>, refused <0720> to be called <3004> the son <5207> 
of Pharaoh's <5328> daughter <2364>;



 25  Choosing <0138> rather <3123> to suffer <4778> affliction 
<4797> with the people <2992> of God <2316>, than <2228> to 
enjoy <0619> the pleasures of sin <0266> for a season <2340>;



 26  Esteeming <2233> the reproach <3680> of Christ <5547> 
greater <3187> riches <4149> than the treasures <2344> in Egypt 
<0125>: for he had respect <0578> unto the recompence <3405> of 
the reward <3405>.



 27  By faith <4102> he forsook <2641> Egypt <0125>, not fearing 
<5399> the wrath <2372> of the king <0935>: for he endured 
<2594>, as seeing <3708> him who is invisible <0517>.



 28  Through faith <4102> he kept <4160> the passover <3957>, 
and the sprinkling <4378> of blood <0129>, lest <3361> he that 
destroyed <3645> the firstborn <4416> should touch <2345> them.



 29  By faith <4102> they passed <1224> through <1224> the Red 
<2281> sea <2281> as by dry <3584> [land]: which <3739> the 
Egyptians <0124> assaying <2983> to do were drowned <2666>.



 30  By faith <4102> the walls <5038> of Jericho <2410> fell 
<4098> down, after they were compassed <2944> about <2944> seven 
<2033> days <2250>.



 31  By faith <4102> the harlot <4204> Rahab <4460> perished 
<4881> not with them that believed <0544> not, when she had 
received <1209> the spies <2685> with peace <1515>.



 32. And what <5101> shall I more <2089> say <3004>? for the 
time <5550> would fail <1952> me to tell <1334> of Gedeon <1066>,
 and [of] Barak <0913>, and [of] Samson <4546>, and [of] 
Jephthae <2422>; [of] David <1138> also <5037>, and Samuel 
<4545>, and [of] the prophets <4396>:



 33  Who <3739> through <1223> faith <4102> subdued <2610> 
kingdoms <0932>, wrought <2038> righteousness <1343>, obtained 
<2013> promises <1860>, stopped <5420> the mouths <4750> of 
lions <3023>,



 34  Quenched <4570> the violence <1411> of fire <4442>, escaped 
<5343> the edge <4750> of the sword <3162>, out of weakness 
<0769> were made <1743> strong <1743>, waxed <1096> valiant 
<2478> in fight <4171>, turned <2827> to flight the armies 
<3925> of the aliens <0245>.



 35  Women <1135> received <2983> their dead <3498> raised 
<0386> to life again <0386>: and others <0243> were tortured 
<5178>, not accepting <4327> deliverance <0629>; that they might 
obtain <5177> a better <2909> resurrection <0386>:



 36  And others <2087> had <2983> trial <3984> of [cruel] 
mockings <1701> and scourgings <3148>, yea <1161>, moreover 
<1161> of bonds <1199> and imprisonment <5438>:



 37  They were stoned <3034>, they were sawn <4249> asunder 
<4249>, were tempted <3985>, were slain <0599> with the sword 
<3162>: they wandered <4022> about <4022> in sheepskins <3374> 
and goatskins <0122>; being destitute <5302>, afflicted <2346>, 
tormented <2558>;



 38  (Of whom <3739> the world <2889> was not worthy <0514>:) 
they wandered <4105> in deserts <2047>, and [in] mountains 
<3735>, and [in] dens <4693> and caves <3692> of the earth 
<1093>.



 39  And these <3778> all <3956>, having obtained <3140> a good 
report <3140> through <1223> faith <4102>, received <2865> not 
the promise <1860>:



 40  God <2316> having provided <4265> some <5100> better <2909> 
thing for us, that they without <5565> us should not be made 
<5048> perfect <5048>.



Hebrews  12



 1. Wherefore <5105> seeing we also <2532> are compassed <4029> 
about <4029> with so <5118> great <5118> a cloud <3509> of 
witnesses <3144>, let us lay <0659> aside <0659> every <3956> 
weight <3591>, and the sin <0266> which doth so easily beset 
<2139> [us], and let us run <5143> with patience <5281> the race 
<0073> that is set <4295> before <4295> us,



 2  Looking <0872> unto Jesus <2424> the author <0747> and 
finisher <5047> of [our] faith <4102>; who <3739> for the joy 
<5479> that was set <4295> before <4295> him endured <5278> the 
cross <4716>, despising <2706> the shame <0152>, and is set 
<2523> down <2523> at <1722> the right <1188> hand of the throne 
<2362> of God <2316>.



 3  For consider <0357> him that endured <5278> such <5108> 
contradiction <0485> of sinners <0268> against <1519> himself 
<0848>, lest <3361> ye be wearied <2577> and faint <1590> in 
your <5216> minds <5590>.



 4. Ye have not yet <3768> resisted <0478> unto blood <0129>, 
striving <0464> against <4314> sin <0266>.



 5  And ye have forgotten <1585> the exhortation <3874> which 
<3748> speaketh <1256> unto you as unto children <5027>, My son 
<5207>, despise <3643> not thou the chastening <3809> of the 
Lord <2962>, nor <3366> faint <1590> when thou art rebuked 
<1651> of him:



 6  For whom <3739> the Lord <2962> loveth <0025> he chasteneth 
<3811>, and scourgeth <3146> every <3956> son <5207> whom <3739> 
he receiveth <3858>.



 7  If <1487> ye endure <5278> chastening <3809>, God <2316> 
dealeth <4374> with you as with sons <5207>; for what <5101> son 
<5207> is he whom <3739> the father <3962> chasteneth <3811> not?



 8  But if <1487> ye be without <5565> chastisement <3809>, 
whereof <3739> all <3956> are partakers <3353>, then <0686> are 
ye bastards <3541>, and not sons <5207>.



 9  Furthermore <1534> we have <2192> had <2192> fathers <3962> 
of our flesh <4561> which corrected <3810> [us], and we gave 
<1788> [them] reverence <1788>: shall we not much <4183> rather 
<3123> be in subjection <5293> unto the Father <3962> of spirits 
<4151>, and live <2198>?



 10  For they verily <3303> for a few <3641> days <2250> 
chastened <3811> [us] after <2596> their own <0848> pleasure 
<1380>; but he for [our] profit <4851>, that [we] might be 
partakers <3335> of his holiness <0041>.



 11  Now <1161> no <3756> chastening <3809> for the present 
<3918> seemeth <1380> to be joyous <5479>, but grievous <3077>: 
nevertheless <1161> afterward <5305> it yieldeth <0591> the 
peaceable <1516> fruit <2590> of righteousness <1343> unto them 
which are exercised <1128> thereby <0846>.



 12  Wherefore <1352> lift <0461> up the hands <5495> which hang 
<3935> down <3935>, and the feeble <3886> knees <1119>;



 13  And make <4160> straight <3717> paths <5163> for your 
<5216> feet <4228>, lest <3361> that which is lame <5560> be 
turned <1624> out of the way <1624>; but let it rather <3123> be 
healed <2390>.



 14  Follow <1377> peace <1515> with all <3956> [men], and 
holiness <0038>, without <5565> which <3739> no <3762> man 
<3762> shall see <3700> the Lord <2962>:



 15  Looking <1983> diligently lest <3361> any <5100> man fail 
<5302> of the grace <5485> of God <2316>; lest <3361> any <5100> 
root <4491> of bitterness <4088> springing <5453> up trouble 
<1776> [you], and thereby <5026> many <4183> be defiled <3392>;



 16  Lest there [be] any <5100> fornicator <4205>, or <2228> 
profane <0952> person, as Esau <2269>, who <3739> for one <3391> 
morsel <1035> of meat <1035> sold <0591> his birthright <4415>.



 17  For ye know <2467> how <3754> that afterward <3347>, when 
he would <2309> have inherited <2816> the blessing <2129>, he 
was rejected <0593>: for he found <2147> no <3756> place <5117> 
of repentance <3341>, though <2539> he sought <1567> it 
carefully <1567> with tears <1144>.



 18. For ye are not come <4334> unto the mount <3735> that might 
be touched <5584>, and that burned <2545> with fire <4442>, nor 
<2532> unto blackness <1105>, and darkness <4655>, and tempest 
<2366>,



 19  And the sound <2279> of a trumpet <4536>, and the voice 
<5456> of words <4487>; which <3739> [voice] they that heard 
<0191> intreated <3868> that the word <3056> should not be 
spoken <4369> to them any <2089> more <4369>:



 20  (For they could not endure <5342> that which was commanded 
<1291>, And if so much <2579> as a beast <2342> touch <2345> the 
mountain <3735>, it shall be stoned <3036>, or <2228> thrust 
<2700> through <2700> with a dart <1002>:



 21  And so <3779> terrible <5398> was the sight <5324>, [that] 
Moses <3475> said <2036>, I exceedingly <1630> fear <1510> and 
quake <1790>:)



 22  But ye are come <4334> unto mount <3735> Sion <4622>, and 
unto the city <4172> of the living <2198> God <2316>, the 
heavenly <2032> Jerusalem <2419>, and to an innumerable <3461> 
company <3461> of angels <0032>,



 23  To the general assembly <3831> and church <1577> of the 
firstborn <4416>, which are written <0583> in heaven <3772>, and 
to God <2316> the Judge <2923> of all <3956>, and to the spirits 
<4151> of just <1342> men made <5048> perfect <5048>,



 24  And to Jesus <2424> the mediator <3316> of the new <3501> 
covenant <1242>, and to the blood <0129> of sprinkling <4473>, 
that speaketh <2980> better <2909> things than [that of] Abel 
<0006>.



 25  See <0991> that ye refuse <3868> not him that speaketh 
<2980>. For if <1487> they escaped <5343> not who refused <3868> 
him that spake <5537> on <1909> earth <1093>, much <4183> more 
<3123> [shall not] we [escape <5343>], if we turn <0654> away 
<0654> from him that [speaketh] from heaven <3772>:



 26  Whose <3739> voice <5456> then <5119> shook <4531> the 
earth <1093>: but now <3568> he hath promised <1861>, saying 
<3004>, Yet <2089> once <0530> more I shake <4579> not the earth 
<1093> only <3440>, but also <2532> heaven <3772>.



 27  And this <3588> [word], Yet <2089> once <0530> more, 
signifieth <1213> the removing <3331> of those <3588> things 
that are shaken <4531>, as of things that are made <4160>, that 
those <3588> things which cannot <3361> be shaken <4531> may 
remain <3306>.



 28  Wherefore <1352> we receiving <3880> a kingdom <0932> which 
cannot <0761> be moved <0761>, let us have <2192> grace <5485>, 
whereby <3739> we may serve <3000> God <2316> acceptably <2102> 
with reverence <0127> and godly fear <2124>:



 29  For our God <2316> [is] a consuming <2654> fire <4442>.



Hebrews  13



 1. Let brotherly <5360> love <5360> continue <3306>.



 2  Be not forgetful <1950> to entertain <5381> strangers <5381>:
 for thereby <5026> some <5100> have entertained <3579> angels 
<0032> unawares <2990>.



 3  Remember <3403> them that are in bonds <1198>, as bound 
<4887> with them; [and] them which suffer <2558> adversity 
<2558>, as being <5607> yourselves <0846> also <2532> in the 
body <4983>.



 4  Marriage <1062> [is] honourable <5093> in all <3956>, and 
the bed <2845> undefiled <0283>: but whoremongers <4205> and 
adulterers <3432> God <2316> will judge <2919>.



 5  [Let your <3588>] conversation <5158> [be] without <0866> 
covetousness <0866>; [and be] content <0714> with such <3588> 
things as ye have <3918>: for he hath said <2046>, I will never 
<3364> leave <0447> thee, nor <3364> forsake <1459> thee.



 6  So <5620> that we may boldly <2292> say <3004>, The Lord 
<2962> [is] my helper <0998>, and I will not fear <5399> what 
<5101> man <0444> shall do unto me.



 7  Remember <3421> them which have the rule <2233> over you, 
who <3748> have spoken <2980> unto you the word <3056> of God 
<2316>: whose <3739> faith <4102> follow <3401>, considering 
<0333> the end <1545> of [their] conversation <0391>.



 8  Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> the same <0846> yesterday <5504>, 
and to day <4594>, and for ever <0165>.



 9  Be not carried <4064> about <4064> with divers <4164> and 
strange <3581> doctrines <1322>. For [it is] a good <2570> thing 
that the heart <2588> be established <0950> with grace <5485>; 
not with meats <1033>, which <3739> have not profited <5623> 
them that have been occupied <4043> therein <3639>.



 10  We have <2192> an altar <2379>, whereof <3739> they have 
<2192> no <3756> right <1849> to eat <5315> which serve <3000> 
the tabernacle <4633>.



 11  For the bodies <4983> of those <5130> beasts <2226>, whose 
<3739> blood <0129> is brought <1533> into <1519> the sanctuary 
<0039> by the high <0749> priest <0749> for sin <0266>, are 
burned <2618> without <1854> the camp <3925>.



 12  Wherefore <1352> Jesus <2424> also <2532>, that he might 
sanctify <0037> the people <2992> with his own <2398> blood 
<0129>, suffered <3958> without <1854> the gate <4439>.



 13  Let us go <1831> forth <1831> therefore <5106> unto him 
without <1854> the camp <3925>, bearing <5342> his reproach 
<3680>.



 14  For here <5602> have <2192> we no <3756> continuing <3306> 
city <4172>, but we seek <1934> one to come <3195>.



 15  By him therefore <3767> let us offer <0399> the sacrifice 
<2378> of praise <0133> to God <2316> continually <1275>, that 
is, the fruit <2590> of [our] lips <5491> giving thanks <3670> 
to his name <3686>.



 16  But to do <2140> good <2140> and to communicate <2842> 
forget <1950> not: for with such <5108> sacrifices <2378> God 
<2316> is well <2100> pleased <2100>.



 17  Obey <3982> them that have the rule <2233> over you, and 
submit <5226> yourselves <5216>: for they watch <0069> for your 
<5216> souls <5590>, as they that must give <0591> account 
<3056>, that they may do <4160> it with joy <5479>, and not with 
grief <4727>: for that [is] unprofitable <0255> for you.



 18. Pray <4336> for us: for we trust <3982> we have <2192> a 
good <2570> conscience <4893>, in all <3956> things willing 
<2309> to live <0390> honestly <2573>.



 19  But I beseech <3870> [you] the rather <4056> to do <4160> 
this <5124>, that I may be restored <0600> to you the sooner 
<5032>.



 20  Now <1161> the God <2316> of peace <1515>, that brought 
<0321> again <0321> from the dead <3498> our Lord <2962> Jesus 
<2424>, that great <3173> shepherd <4166> of the sheep <4263>, 
through <1722> the blood <0129> of the everlasting <0166> 
covenant <1242>,



 21  Make <2675> you perfect <2675> in every <3956> good <0018> 
work <2041> to do <4160> his will <2307>, working <4160> in you 
that which is wellpleasing <2101> in his sight <1799>, through 
<1223> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>; to whom <3739> [be] glory 
<1391> for ever <0165> and ever <0165>. Amen <0281>.



 22  And I beseech <3870> you, brethren <0080>, suffer <0430> 
the word <3056> of exhortation <3874>: for I have written <1989> 
a letter <1989> unto you in few <1024> words.



 23  Know <1097> ye that [our] brother <0080> Timothy <5095> is 
set <0630> at <0630> liberty <0630>; with whom <3739>, if <1437> 
he come <2064> shortly <5032>, I will see <3700> you.



 24  Salute <0782> all <3956> them that have the rule <2233> 
over you, and all <3956> the saints <0040>. They of Italy <2482> 
salute <0782> you.



 25  Grace <5485> [be] with you all <3956>. Amen <0281>.
