HEB 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past *2316 *4181 *4187 *4187 *2980 *3819 *3819 unto the fathers by the prophets, *3962 *4396 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed *5130 *2078 *2250 *2980 *5207 *3739 *5087 heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; *2818 *3956 *3739 *2532 *4160 *0165 3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his *0541 *1391 *5481 *5481 person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by *5287 *5342 *3956 *4487 *1411 himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on *1438 *2512 *0266 *2523 *2523 *1722 *1188 *3172 *1722 high: *5308 4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance *1096 *5118 *5118 *2909 *0032 *2820 obtained a more excellent name than they. *2816 *1313 *3686 *3844 5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, *5101 *0032 *2036 *4218 *4218 *4218 *1488 *5207 this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and *4594 *4594 *1080 *3825 *3962 he shall be to me a Son? *5207 6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, *3825 *3752 *1521 *4416 *1519 *3625 *3004 And let all the angels of God worship him. *3956 *0032 *2316 *4352 7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his *0032 *3004 *3739 *4160 *0032 *4151 ministers a flame of fire. *3011 *5395 *4442 8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a *5207 *2362 *2316 *0165 *0165 sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. *4464 *2118 *4464 *0932 9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even *0025 *1343 *3404 *0458 *5124 *2316 thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. *2316 *5548 *1637 *0020 *3844 *3353 10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; *2962 *0746 *2311 *1093 and the heavens are the works of thine hands: *3772 *2041 *4675 *5495 11 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as *0622 *1265 *3956 *3822 *3822 doth a garment; *2440 12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but *4018 *1667 *0236 thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail. *1488 *0846 *2094 *1587 13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right *5101 *0032 *2046 *4218 *4218 *4218 *2521 *1537 *1188 hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? *2193 *5087 *4675 *2190 *5286 14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them *3956 *3010 *4151 *0649 *0649 *1248 who shall be heirs of salvation? *2816 *4991 2:1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we *5124 *1163 *4056 *4056 *4337 have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. *0191 *3379 *3379 *3379 *4218 *3901 2 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression *1487 *3056 *2980 *0032 *0949 *3956 *3847 and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; *3876 *2983 *1738 *3405 *3405 3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the *4459 *1628 *0272 *5082 *5082 *4991 *3748 first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them *0746 *2983 *2980 *2962 *0950 that heard him; *0191 4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with *2316 *4901 *4901 *4901 *5037 *4591 *5059 divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will? *4164 *1411 *3311 *0040 *4151 *2596 *2308 5 For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, *0032 *5293 *5293 *3625 *3195 whereof we speak. *3739 *2980 6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art *5100 *4225 *1263 *3004 *5101 *0444 mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest him? *3403 *2228 *5207 *0444 *1980 7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with *1642 *1024 *1642 *3844 *0032 *4737 glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: *1391 *5092 *2525 *1909 *2041 *5495 8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he *5293 *3956 *5293 *5270 *4228 put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under *5293 *3956 *5293 *0863 *3762 *0506 *0506 him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. *3568 *3708 *3768 *3956 *5293 *5293 9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the *0991 *2424 *3588 *1642 *1024 *1642 *3844 *0032 suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of *3804 *2288 *4737 *1391 *5092 *5485 God should taste death for every man. *2316 *1089 *2288 *3956 10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, *4241 *3739 *3956 *3739 *3956 in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation *0071 *4183 *5207 *1391 *5055 *0747 *4991 perfect through sufferings. *5048 *1223 *3804 11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: *5037 *0037 *0037 *3956 *1520 for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, *3739 *0156 *1870 *2564 *0080 12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the *3004 *0518 *3686 *0080 *3319 church will I sing praise unto thee. *1577 *0524 *5214 13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the *3825 *3982 *3982 *3825 *2400 children which God hath given me. *3813 *3739 *2316 *1325 14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also *1893 *3767 *3813 *2841 *4561 *0129 *2532 himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy *0846 *3898 *3348 *3348 *0846 *1223 *2288 *2673 him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; *2192 *2904 *2288 *1228 15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime *0525 *3745 *5401 *2288 *3956 *2198 subject to bondage. *1777 *1397 16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him *1222 *1949 *1949 *0032 *1949 *1949 the seed of Abraham. *4690 *0011 17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his *3606 *3956 *3784 *3666 *3666 brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things *0080 *1655 *4103 *0749 *0749 pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. *2316 *2433 *2433 *0266 *2992 18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to *0846 *3958 *3985 *1410 succour them that are tempted. *0997 *3985 3:1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider *3606 *0040 *0080 *3353 *2032 *2821 *2657 the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; *0652 *0749 *0749 *3671 *5547 *2424 2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in *4103 *4160 *2532 *3475 all his house. *3650 *3624 3 For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he *3778 *0515 *0515 *4119 *1391 *3844 *3475 *3745 who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house. *2680 *3624 *2192 *4119 *5092 *3624 4 For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is *3956 *3624 *2680 *5100 *2680 *3956 God. *2316 5 And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a *3475 *3303 *4103 *3650 *3624 *2324 testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; *3142 *3588 *2980 6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we *5547 *5207 *1909 *0848 *3624 *3739 *3624 *1437 hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. *2722 *2722 *3954 *2745 *1680 *0949 *5056 7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, *1352 *0040 *4151 *3004 *4594 *1437 *0191 *5456 8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation *4645 *5216 *2588 *3894 *2250 *3986 in the wilderness: *2048 9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. *3756 *5216 *3962 *3985 *1381 *1492 *2041 *5062 *2094 10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway *1352 *4360 *1074 *2036 *0104 err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. *4105 *2588 *1097 *3598 11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) *5613 *3660 *3709 *1525 *1519 *2663 12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of *0991 *0080 *3379 *5100 *4190 *2588 unbelief, in departing from the living God. *0570 *0868 *2198 *2316 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of *3870 *1438 *1438 *2250 *3739 *2564 *4594 *3361 *5100 you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. *4645 *0539 *0266 14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our *1096 *3353 *5547 *1437 *2722 *0746 confidence stedfast unto the end; *5287 *0949 *5056 15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your *3588 *3004 *4594 *1437 *0191 *5456 *4645 *5216 hearts, as in the provocation. *2588 *3894 16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came *5100 *0191 *3893 *0235 *3956 *1831 out of Egypt by Moses. *0125 *3475 17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had *5101 *4360 *5062 *2094 sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? *0264 *3739 *2966 *4098 *2048 18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to *5101 *3660 *1525 *1519 *2663 them that believed not? *0544 19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief. *2532 *0991 *1410 *1525 *1223 *0570 4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into *3767 *5399 *3379 *1860 *2641 *1525 *1519 his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. *2663 *5100 *1380 *5302 *5302 2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word *2097 *2097 *2509 *3056 preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard *0189 *5623 *4786 *4102 *0191 it. 3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have *3588 *4100 *1525 *1519 *2663 *2046 sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works *3660 *3709 *1487 *1525 *1519 *2663 *2543 *2041 were finished from the foundation of the world. *1096 *2602 *2889 4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God *2046 *4225 *1442 *3779 *3779 *2316 did rest the seventh day from all his works. *2664 *1442 *2250 *3956 *2041 5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. *5129 *3825 *1487 *1525 *1519 *2663 6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to *1893 *3767 *0620 *5100 *1525 *0846 whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: *4386 *2097 *1525 *1223 *0543 7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long *3825 *3724 *5100 *2250 *3004 *1138 *4594 *3326 *5118 *5118 a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your *5550 *2046 *4594 *1437 *0191 *5456 *4645 *5216 hearts. *2588 8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have *1487 *2424 *2664 *5023 spoken of another day. *2980 *0243 *2250 9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. *0620 *0686 *4520 *2992 *2316 10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own *1525 *1519 *2663 *2532 *2664 *0848 works, as God did from his. *2041 *2316 11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall *4704 *3767 *1525 *1519 *2663 *3361 *5100 *4098 after the same example of unbelief. *1722 *0846 *5262 *0543 12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any *3056 *2316 *2198 *1756 *5114 *5228 *3956 twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, *1366 *3162 *1338 *3311 *5590 *4151 and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and *0719 *3452 *2924 *1761 intents of the heart. *1771 *2588 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all *3756 *2937 *0852 *1799 *3956 things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. *1131 *5136 *3788 *3739 *3056 14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the *3767 *2192 *3173 *0749 *0749 *1330 heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. *3772 *2424 *5207 *2316 *2902 *3671 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling *2192 *0749 *0749 *1410 *4834 *4834 of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet *0769 *3956 *3985 *3665 without sin. *5565 *0266 16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may *3767 *4334 *3954 *2362 *5485 obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. *2983 *1656 *2147 *5485 *0996 *2121 *2121 5:1 For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in *3956 *0749 *0749 *2983 *3319 *0444 *2525 *0444 things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for *2316 *4374 *5037 *1435 *2378 sins: *0266 2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the *1410 *3356 *0050 way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity. *4105 *0846 *2532 *4029 *0769 3 And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, *1223 *5026 *3784 *2992 *3779 *2532 *1438 to offer for sins. *4374 *0266 4 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of *3756 *5100 *2983 *3588 *5092 *1438 *2564 God, as was Aaron. *2316 *0002 5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he *3779 *2532 *5547 *1392 *1438 *1096 *0749 *0749 that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. *2980 *1488 *5207 *4594 *1080 6 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the *3004 *2532 *2087 *2409 *0165 *2596 order of Melchisedec. *5010 *3198 7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and *3739 *2250 *4561 *4374 *1162 supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save *2428 *2478 *2906 *1144 *1410 *4982 him from death, and was heard in that he feared; *2288 *1522 *2124 8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he *2539 *5207 *3129 *5218 *3739 suffered; *3958 9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto *5048 *5048 *1096 *0159 *0166 *4991 all them that obey him; *3956 *5219 10 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec. *4316 *2316 *0749 *0749 *2596 *5010 *3198 11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye *3739 *4183 *3056 *1421 *3004 *1893 are dull of hearing. *3576 *0189 12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one *5550 *3784 *1320 *2192 *5532 teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and *1321 *3825 *5101 *0746 *4747 *3051 *2316 are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. *1096 *2192 *5532 *1051 *4731 *5160 13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: *3956 *3348 *1051 *0552 *3056 *1343 for he is a babe. *3516 14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who *4731 *5160 *1510 *5046 *5046 *3588 by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. *1223 *1838 *2192 *0145 *1128 *1253 *5037 *2570 *2556 6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on *0863 *0746 *3056 *5547 *5342 unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead *5051 *2598 *3825 *2310 *3341 *3498 works, and of faith toward God, *2041 *4102 *1909 *2316 2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of *1322 *0909 *1936 *1936 *5495 resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. *0386 *3498 *0166 *2917 3 And this will we do, if God permit. *5124 *4160 *1437 *2316 *2010 4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted *0102 *3588 *0530 *5461 *1089 of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, *2032 *1431 *1096 *3353 *0040 *4151 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, *1089 *2570 *4487 *2316 *1411 *0165 *3195 6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they *3895 *3895 *0340 *3825 *3341 crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open *0388 *1438 *5207 *2316 *0388 *3856 *3856 shame. *3856 7 For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and *1093 *3588 *4095 *5205 *2064 *4178 bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth *5088 *5088 *1008 *2111 *3739 *1090 *3335 blessing from God: *2129 *2316 8 But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto *1627 *0173 *5146 *0096 *1451 cursing; whose end is to be burned. *2671 *3739 *5056 *2740 9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that *0027 *3982 *2909 accompany salvation, though we thus speak. *2192 *4991 *1499 *3779 *2980 10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, *2316 *0094 *1950 *5216 *2041 *2873 *0026 which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the *3739 *1731 *1519 *3686 *1247 saints, and do minister. *0040 *1247 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the *1937 *1538 *1731 *0846 *4710 full assurance of hope unto the end: *4136 *4136 *1680 *5056 12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and *3636 *3402 *1223 *4102 patience inherit the promises. *3115 *2816 *1860 13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no *2316 *1861 *1861 *0011 *1893 *2192 *3660 *3762 greater, he sware by himself, *3187 *3660 *1438 14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will *3004 *2229 *2129 *2127 *4129 multiply thee. *4129 15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. *3779 *3114 *3114 *2013 *1860 16 For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to *0444 *3303 *3660 *3187 *3727 *0951 them an end of all strife. *4009 *3956 *0485 17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise *3757 *2316 *1014 *4054 *4054 *1925 *2818 *1860 the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: *0276 *1012 *3315 *3727 18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to *1417 *0276 *3739 *0102 *2316 lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay *5574 *2192 *2478 *3874 *3588 *2703 *2703 hold upon the hope set before us: *2902 *1680 *4295 *4295 19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and *3739 *2192 *0045 *5590 *5037 *0804 *0949 which entereth into that within the veil; *1535 *1519 *2082 *2665 20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high *3699 *4274 *1525 *2424 *1096 *0749 priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. *0749 *0165 *2596 *5010 *3198 7:1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who *3778 *3198 *0935 *4532 *2409 *5310 *5310 *2316 *3588 met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; *4876 *0011 *5290 *2871 *0935 *2127 2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by *3739 *2532 *0011 *1181 *3307 *3956 *4412 interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, *2059 *0935 *1343 *1899 *2532 *0935 *4532 which is, King of peace; *3739 *0935 *1515 3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning *0282 *0540 *0282 *0282 *0035 *0035 *2192 *3383 *0746 of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a *2250 *3383 *5056 *2222 *0871 *0871 *5207 *2316 *3306 priest continually. *2409 *1336 4 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch *1161 *2334 *4080 *4080 *3778 *3739 *2532 *3966 Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils. *0011 *1325 *1181 *0205 5 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of *3303 *5207 *3017 *3588 *2983 *2405 the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according *2405 *2192 *1785 *0586 *2992 *2596 to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins *3551 *0080 *2539 *1831 *3751 of Abraham: *0011 6 But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, *1075 *1075 *1183 *1183 *0011 and blessed him that had the promises. *2127 *2192 *1860 7 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better. *5565 *3956 *0485 *1640 *2127 *2909 8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of *5602 *0444 *0599 *2983 *1181 *1563 whom it is witnessed that he liveth. *3140 *2198 9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in *5613 *2036 *3017 *2532 *3588 *2983 *1183 *1183 *1183 Abraham. *0011 10 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him. *2089 *3751 *3962 *3753 *3198 *4876 11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under *1487 *3767 *5050 *3020 *2420 *1909 it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another *2992 *3549 *3549 *5101 *2089 *5532 *2087 priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after *2409 *0450 *2596 *5010 *3198 *3004 *2596 the order of Aaron? *5010 *0002 12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change *2420 *3346 *1096 *0318 *3331 also of the law. *2532 *3551 13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of *3739 *5023 *4229 *3004 *3348 *2087 *5443 which no man gave attendance at the altar. *3739 *3762 *3762 *4337 *4337 *2379 14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses *4271 *2962 *0393 *2455 *3739 *5443 *3475 spake nothing concerning priesthood. *2980 *3762 *4012 *2420 15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of *2089 *4054 *4055 *2612 *2596 *3665 Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, *3198 *0450 *2087 *2409 16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the *3739 *1096 *2596 *3551 *4559 *1785 *2596 power of an endless life. *1411 *0179 *2222 17 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of *3140 *2409 *0165 *2596 *5010 Melchisedec. *3198 18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for *3303 *0115 *1785 *4254 *4254 the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. *0772 *0512 *0846 19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope *3551 *5048 *3762 *5048 *1898 *2909 *1680 did; by the which we draw nigh unto God. *3739 *1448 *2316 20 And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest: *3745 *5565 *3728 21 (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by *3588 *2409 *1096 *5565 *3728 *3728 him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a *3004 *2962 *3660 *3338 priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:) *2409 *0165 *2596 *5010 *3198 22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. *5118 *5118 *2424 *1096 *1450 *2909 *1242 23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to *3303 *4119 *2409 *1223 *2967 continue by reason of death: *3887 *2288 24 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable *3588 *1223 *3306 *0165 *2192 *0531 priesthood. *2420 25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto *3606 *1410 *2532 *4982 *3838 *4334 God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. *2316 *3842 *2198 *1793 *1793 26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, *5108 *0749 *0749 *4241 *3741 *0172 *0283 separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; *5562 *0268 *1096 *5308 *3772 27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, *3739 *0318 *2250 *3588 *0749 *0749 *0399 *2378 first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, *4386 *2398 *0266 *1899 *2992 *5124 *4160 *2178 when he offered up himself. *1438 28 For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word *3551 *2525 *0444 *0749 *0749 *2192 *0769 *3056 of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated *3728 *3588 *3326 *3551 *5207 *5048 for evermore. *0165 8:1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an *1161 *3004 *2774 *2192 *5108 high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty *0749 *0749 *3739 *2523 *1722 *1188 *2362 *3172 in the heavens; *3772 2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord *3011 *0039 *0558 *4633 *3739 *2962 pitched, and not man. *4078 *0444 3 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: *3956 *0749 *0749 *2525 *4374 *1435 *2378 wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer. *3606 *0316 *5126 *2192 *5100 *2532 *4374 4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there *1487 *1909 *1093 *2409 are priests that offer gifts according to the law: *2409 *4374 *1435 *2596 *3551 5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was *3748 *3000 *5262 *4639 *2032 *3475 admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, *5537 *5537 *3195 *2005 *4633 *3708 saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to *5346 *4160 *3956 *2596 *5179 *1166 thee in the mount. *3735 6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he *3570 *5177 *1313 *3009 *3745 *3745 *2532 is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better *3316 *2909 *1242 *3748 *3549 *2909 promises. *1860 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place *1487 *4413 *2258 *0273 *3756 *5117 have been sought for the second. *2212 *1208 8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the *3201 *3004 *2400 *2250 *2064 *3004 Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with *2962 *4931 *2537 *1242 *3624 *2474 the house of Judah: *3624 *2455 9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day *2596 *1242 *4160 *3962 *2250 when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because *1949 *5495 *1806 *1093 *0125 *3754 they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. *1696 *1242 *0272 *3004 *2962 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after *3778 *1242 *1303 *3624 *2474 *3326 those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write *1565 *2250 *3004 *2962 *1325 *3551 *1519 *1271 *1924 them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me *2588 *2316 a people: *2992 11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his *1321 *1538 *4139 *1538 brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to *0080 *3004 *1097 *2962 *3956 *1492 *3398 the greatest. *3173 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and *2436 *0093 *0266 their iniquities will I remember no more. *0458 *3415 *3364 *2089 13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that *3004 *2537 *3822 *4413 *3822 *1161 which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. *3822 *1095 *1095 *1451 *0854 9:1 Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, *3767 *3303 *4413 *2192 *2532 *1345 *2999 *2999 and a worldly sanctuary. *2886 *0039 2 For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, *4633 *2680 *4413 *3757 *3087 and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary. *5132 *0740 *3748 *3004 *0039 3 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of *3326 *1208 *2665 *4633 *3588 *3004 *0039 all; 4 Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round *2192 *5552 *2369 *2787 *1242 *4028 *3840 about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's *3840 *5553 *3757 *5552 *4713 *2192 *3131 *0002 rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; *4464 *0985 *4109 *1242 5 And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we *5231 *5502 *1391 *2683 *2435 *3739 cannot now speak particularly. *1410 *3568 *3004 *3313 6 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into *1161 *5130 *3779 *2680 *2409 *1524 *1275 *1519 the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. *4413 *4633 *2005 *2999 7 But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not *1519 *1208 *0749 *0749 *3441 *0530 *1763 without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the *5565 *0129 *3739 *4374 *1438 *0051 people: *2992 8 The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was *0040 *4151 *5124 *1213 *3598 *0039 not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: *2089 *5319 *5319 *4413 *4633 *2089 *4714 9 Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both *3748 *3850 *2540 *3588 *1764 *3739 *5037 gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, *1435 *2378 *1410 *5055 *3000 *3000 *5048 as pertaining to the conscience; *4893 10 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal *3440 *1033 *4188 *1313 *0909 *4561 ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. *1345 *1945 *3360 *2540 *1357 11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a *5547 *3854 *0749 *0749 *0018 *3195 greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, *3187 *5046 *4633 *5499 *5499 not of this building; *5026 *2937 12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he *3761 *0129 *5131 *3448 *2398 *0129 entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for *1525 *2178 *1519 *0039 *2174 *0166 *3085 us. 13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer *1487 *0129 *5022 *5131 *4700 *1151 sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: *4472 *2840 *0037 *2514 *4561 14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal *4214 *4214 *3123 *0129 *5547 *3739 *1223 *0166 Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead *4151 *4374 *1438 *0299 *0299 *2316 *2511 *5216 *4893 *3498 works to serve the living God? *2041 *3000 *2198 *2316 15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by *5124 *1223 *3316 *2537 *1242 means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under *1096 *2288 *0629 *3847 *1909 the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of *4413 *1242 *2564 *2983 *1860 eternal inheritance. *0166 *2817 16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of *3699 *1242 *0318 *2288 the testator. *1303 17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no *1242 *0949 *3498 *1893 *3361 strength at all while the testator liveth. *2480 *3379 *4219 *3753 *1303 *2198 18 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood. *3606 *3761 *4413 *1457 *5565 *0129 19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to *3475 *2980 *3956 *1785 *3956 *2992 *2596 the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet *3551 *2983 *0129 *3448 *5131 *5203 *2847 wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, *2053 *5301 *4472 *5037 *0975 *3956 *2992 20 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto *3004 *5124 *0129 *1242 *3739 *2316 *1781 you. 21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the *1161 *4472 *0129 *2532 *4633 *3956 vessels of the ministry. *4632 *3009 22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without *4975 *3956 *3551 *2511 *0129 *5565 shedding of blood is no remission. *0130 *0130 *3756 *0859 23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens *3767 *0318 *5262 *3772 should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with *2511 *5125 *2032 *0846 better sacrifices than these. *2909 *2378 *3844 *5025 24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which *5547 *1525 *1519 *0039 *5499 *5499 are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the *0499 *0558 *1519 *3772 *0846 *3568 *1718 presence of God for us: *4383 *2316 25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth *3761 *4374 *1438 *4178 *0749 *0749 *1535 into the holy place every year with blood of others; *1519 *0039 *2596 *1763 *0129 *0245 26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: *1163 *4178 *3958 *0575 *2602 *2889 but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by *3568 *0530 *4930 *0165 *5319 *0115 *0115 *0266 the sacrifice of himself. *2378 *0848 27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the *0606 *0444 *0530 *0599 *3326 *5124 judgment: *2920 28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them *3779 *5547 *0530 *4374 *0399 *0266 *4183 that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto *0553 *3700 *1208 *5565 *0266 salvation. *4991 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very *3551 *2192 *4639 *0018 *3195 *0846 image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered *1504 *4229 *1410 *3763 *0846 *2378 *3739 *4374 year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. *1763 *1763 *1336 *5055 *4334 *4334 *5048 2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the *3973 *4374 *1223 worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. *3000 *0530 *2508 *2192 *2192 *3367 *2089 *4893 *0266 3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every *0846 *0364 *0364 *0266 *2596 year. *1763 4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take *0102 *0129 *5022 *5131 *0851 away sins. *0851 *0266 5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering *1352 *1519 *2889 *3004 *2378 *4376 thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: *2309 *4983 *2675 6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. *3646 *3646 *0266 *3756 *2106 7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) *5119 *2036 *2400 *2240 *2777 *0975 *1125 to do thy will, O God. *4160 *2307 *2316 8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and *0511 *3004 *2378 *4376 *3646 *3646 offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which *0266 *2309 *3761 *2106 *3748 are offered by the law; *4374 *3551 9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the *5119 *2046 *2400 *2240 *4160 *2307 *2316 *0337 *0337 first, that he may establish the second. *4413 *2476 *1208 10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of *3739 *2307 *0037 *1223 *4376 *4983 Jesus Christ once for all. *2424 *5547 *2178 *2178 11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the *3956 *2409 *2476 *2250 *3008 *4374 *4178 same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: *0846 *2378 *3748 *1410 *3763 *4014 *4014 *0266 12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat *3778 *4374 *3391 *2378 *0266 *1336 *2523 down on the right hand of God; *2523 *1722 *1188 *2316 13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. *3063 *1551 *2193 *2190 *5087 *5286 14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. *3391 *4376 *5048 *1336 *0037 15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had *0040 *4151 *2532 *3140 *3326 said before, *4280 *4280 16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith *3778 *1242 *1303 *3326 *1565 *2250 *3004 the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I *2962 *1325 *3551 *1909 *2588 *1271 write them; *1924 17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. *0266 *0458 *3415 *3361 *2089 18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. *1161 *3699 *0859 *5130 *3765 *2089 *4376 *0266 19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the *2192 *3767 *0080 *3954 *1529 *0039 blood of Jesus, *0129 *2424 20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the *4372 *2198 *3598 *3739 *1457 *1223 veil, that is to say, his flesh; *2665 *4561 21 And having an high priest over the house of God; *3173 *2409 *1909 *3624 *2316 22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having *4334 *4334 *0558 *2588 *4136 *4136 *4102 our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with *2588 *4472 *4190 *4893 *4983 *3068 pure water. *2513 *5203 23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he *2722 *2722 *3671 *1680 *0186 *0186 is faithful that promised;) *4103 *1861 24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: *2657 *0240 *0240 *3948 *0026 *2570 *2041 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of *1459 *1997 *1438 *1997 *1485 some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the *5100 *3870 *5118 *5118 *3123 *0991 day approaching. *2250 *1448 26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the *0264 *1596 *3326 *2983 *1922 truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, *0225 *0620 *3765 *2089 *2378 *0266 27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, *5100 *5398 *1561 *2920 *4442 *2205 which shall devour the adversaries. *2068 *5227 28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three *0114 *3475 *3551 *0599 *5565 *3628 *1909 *1417 *2228 *5140 witnesses: *3144 29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, *4214 *4214 *5501 *5098 *1380 *0515 who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of *3588 *2662 *2662 *2662 *5207 *2316 *2233 *0129 the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done *1242 *3739 *0037 *2839 *1796 despite unto the Spirit of grace? *1796 *4151 *5485 30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will *1492 *2036 *1557 recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. *0467 *3004 *2962 *3825 *2962 *2919 *2992 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. *5398 *1706 *1519 *5495 *2198 *2316 32 But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were *0363 *0363 *4386 *2250 *3739 illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions; *5461 *5278 *4183 *0119 *3804 33 Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and *3303 *2301 *2301 *5037 *3680 afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so *2347 *1161 *1096 *2844 *3779 used. *0390 34 For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling *4834 *1199 *4327 *5479 *0724 of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an *5216 *5224 *1097 *1438 *2192 *3772 *2909 enduring substance. *3306 *5223 35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of *0577 *0577 *3767 *5216 *3954 *3748 *2192 *3173 *3405 reward. *3405 36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, *5532 *5281 *4160 *2307 *2316 ye might receive the promise. *2865 *1860 37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not *2089 *3397 *3397 *2064 *2240 tarry. *5549 38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul *1161 *1342 *2198 *4102 *1437 *5288 *5288 *5590 shall have no pleasure in him. *3756 *2106 39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that *5289 *5289 *0684 believe to the saving of the soul. *4102 *4047 *5590 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things *1161 *4102 *5287 *4229 *1679 *1650 not seen. *0991 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report. *4245 *3140 *3140 3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of *4102 *3539 *0165 *2675 *4487 God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do *2316 *1519 *3588 *0991 *1096 appear. *5316 4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by *4102 *0006 *4374 *2316 *4118 *2378 *3844 *2535 which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his *3739 *3140 *3140 *1342 *2316 *3140 gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. *1435 *0599 *2089 *2980 5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not *4102 *1802 *3346 *1492 *2288 found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had *2147 *1360 *2316 *3346 *4253 *3331 this testimony, that he pleased God. *3140 *2100 *2316 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to *5565 *4102 *0102 *2100 *4334 God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that *2316 *1163 *4100 *3406 diligently seek him. *1567 *1567 7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with *4102 *3575 *5537 *0991 *3369 *2125 fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he *2125 *2680 *2787 *4991 *3624 *3739 condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. *2632 *2889 *1096 *2818 *1343 *4102 8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he *4102 *0011 *2564 *1831 *1519 *5117 *3739 should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not *3195 *3195 *2983 *2817 *5219 *1831 knowing whither he went. *1987 *4266 *2064 9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, *4102 *3939 *1093 *1860 *0245 dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the *2730 *4633 *2464 *2384 *4789 same promise: *1860 10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker *1551 *4172 *2192 *2310 *3739 *5079 *1217 is God. *2316 11 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and *4102 *2532 *4564 *0846 *2983 *1411 *2602 *4690 was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him *5088 *5088 *3844 *2244 *1893 *2233 faithful who had promised. *4103 *1861 12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as *1352 *1080 *2532 *1520 *3499 the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea *0798 *3772 *4128 *0285 *3588 *2281 shore innumerable. *5491 *0382 13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having *3778 *3956 *0599 *4102 *2983 *1860 seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and *1492 *4207 *3982 *0782 confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. *3670 *3581 *3927 *1909 *1093 14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. *3004 *5108 *1718 *1718 *1934 *3968 15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they *3303 *1487 *3421 *3739 came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. *1831 *2192 *2192 *2540 *0344 16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore *3570 *3713 *2909 *2032 *1352 God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a *2316 *1870 *1941 *2316 *2090 city. *4172 17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had *4102 *0011 *3985 *4374 *2464 received the promises offered up his only begotten son, *0324 *1860 *4374 *3439 *3439 18 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: *3739 *2980 *2464 *4690 *2564 19 Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from *3049 *2316 *1415 *1453 *2532 *3498 whence also he received him in a figure. *3606 *2532 *2865 *3850 20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. *4102 *2464 *2127 *2384 *2269 *4012 *3195 21 By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; *4102 *2384 *0599 *2127 *1538 *5207 *2501 and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff. *4352 *0206 *4464 22 By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the *4102 *2501 *5053 *3421 *3421 *1841 children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones. *5027 *2474 *1781 *4012 *3747 23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, *4102 *3475 *1080 *2928 *5150 *5150 *3962 because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the *1360 *1492 *0791 *3813 *5399 king's commandment. *0935 *1297 24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son *4102 *3475 *1096 *3173 *0720 *3004 *5207 of Pharaoh's daughter; *5328 *2364 25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to *0138 *3123 *4778 *4797 *2992 *2316 *2228 enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; *0619 *0266 *2340 26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in *2233 *3680 *5547 *3187 *4149 *2344 Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. *0125 *0578 *3405 *3405 27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he *4102 *2641 *0125 *5399 *2372 *0935 endured, as seeing him who is invisible. *2594 *3708 *0517 28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he *4102 *4160 *3957 *4378 *0129 *3361 that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. *3645 *4416 *2345 29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the *4102 *1224 *1224 *2281 *2281 *3584 *3739 Egyptians assaying to do were drowned. *0124 *2983 *2666 30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about *4102 *5038 *2410 *4098 *2944 *2944 seven days. *2033 *2250 31 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when *4102 *4204 *4460 *4881 *0544 she had received the spies with peace. *1209 *2685 *1515 32 And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, *5101 *2089 *3004 *5550 *1952 *1334 *1066 and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, *0913 *4546 *2422 *1138 *5037 *4545 and of the prophets: *4396 33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained *3739 *1223 *4102 *2610 *0932 *2038 *1343 *2013 promises, stopped the mouths of lions. *1860 *5420 *4750 *3023 34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of *4570 *1411 *4442 *5343 *4750 *3162 weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the *0769 *1743 *1743 *1096 *2478 *4171 *2827 armies of the aliens. *3925 *0245 35 Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, *1135 *2983 *3498 *0386 *0386 *0243 *5178 not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: *4327 *0629 *5177 *2909 *0386 36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of *2087 *2983 *3984 *1701 *3148 *1161 *1161 bonds and imprisonment: *1199 *5438 37 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with *3034 *4249 *4249 *3985 *0599 the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, *3162 *4022 *4022 *3374 *0122 *5302 afflicted, tormented; *2346 *2558 38 (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in *3739 *2889 *0514 *4105 *2047 mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. *3735 *4693 *3692 *1093 39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not *3778 *3956 *3140 *3140 *1223 *4102 *2865 the promise: *1860 40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us *2316 *4265 *5100 *2909 *5565 should not be made perfect. *5048 *5048 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of *5105 *2532 *4029 *4029 *5118 *5118 *3509 witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so *3144 *0659 *0659 *3956 *3591 *0266 easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before *2139 *5143 *5281 *0073 *4295 *4295 us, 2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy *0872 *2424 *0747 *5047 *4102 *3739 *5479 that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set *4295 *4295 *5278 *4716 *2706 *0152 *2523 down at the right hand of the throne of God. *2523 *1722 *1188 *2362 *2316 3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against *0357 *5278 *5108 *0485 *0268 *1519 himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. *0848 *3361 *2577 *1590 *5216 *5590 4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. *3768 *0478 *0129 *0464 *4314 *0266 5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto *1585 *3874 *3748 *1256 children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint *5027 *5207 *3643 *3809 *2962 *3366 *1590 when thou art rebuked of him: *1651 6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he *3739 *2962 *0025 *3811 *3146 *3956 *5207 *3739 receiveth. *3858 7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what *1487 *5278 *3809 *2316 *4374 *5207 *5101 son is he whom the father chasteneth not? *5207 *3739 *3962 *3811 8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are *1487 *5565 *3809 *3739 *3956 *3353 *0686 ye bastards, and not sons. *3541 *5207 9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we *1534 *2192 *2192 *3962 *4561 *3810 gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the *1788 *1788 *4183 *3123 *5293 Father of spirits, and live? *3962 *4151 *2198 10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; *3303 *3641 *2250 *3811 *2596 *0848 *1380 but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. *4851 *3335 *0041 11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: *1161 *3756 *3809 *3918 *1380 *5479 *3077 nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness *1161 *5305 *0591 *1516 *2590 *1343 unto them which are exercised thereby. *1128 *0846 12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; *1352 *0461 *5495 *3935 *3935 *3886 *1119 13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned *4160 *3717 *5163 *5216 *4228 *3361 *5560 *1624 out of the way; but let it rather be healed. *1624 *3123 *2390 14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall *1377 *1515 *3956 *0038 *5565 *3739 *3762 *3762 see the Lord: *3700 *2962 15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root *1983 *3361 *5100 *5302 *5485 *2316 *3361 *5100 *4491 of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; *4088 *5453 *1776 *5026 *4183 *3392 16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for *5100 *4205 *2228 *0952 *2269 *3739 one morsel of meat sold his birthright. *3391 *1035 *1035 *0591 *4415 17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the *2467 *3754 *3347 *2309 *2816 blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he *2129 *0593 *2147 *3756 *5117 *3341 *2539 sought it carefully with tears. *1567 *1567 *1144 18 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that *4334 *3735 *5584 burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, *2545 *4442 *2532 *1105 *4655 *2366 19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they *2279 *4536 *5456 *4487 *3739 that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more: *0191 *3868 *3056 *4369 *2089 *4369 20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a *5342 *1291 *2579 beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a *2342 *2345 *3735 *3036 *2228 *2700 *2700 dart: *1002 21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and *3779 *5598 *5324 *3475 *2036 *1630 *1510 quake:) *1790 22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, *4334 *3735 *4622 *4172 *2198 *2316 the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, *2032 *2419 *3461 *3461 *0032 23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written *3831 *1577 *4416 *0583 in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men *3772 *2316 *2923 *3956 *4151 *1342 made perfect, *5048 *5048 24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of *2424 *3316 *3501 *1242 *0129 sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. *4473 *2980 *2909 *0006 25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who *0991 *3868 *2980 *1487 *5343 refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we *3868 *5537 *1909 *1093 *4183 *3123 *5343 turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: *0654 *0654 *3772 26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet *3739 *5456 *5119 *4531 *1093 *3568 *1861 *3004 *2089 once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. *0530 *4579 *1093 *3440 *2532 *3772 27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things *3588 *2089 *0530 *1213 *3331 *3588 that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot *4531 *4160 *3588 *3361 be shaken may remain. *4531 *3306 28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have *1352 *3880 *0932 *0761 *0761 *2192 grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: *5485 *3739 *3000 *2316 *2102 *0127 *2124 29 For our God is a consuming fire. *2316 *2654 *4442 13:1 Let brotherly love continue. *5360 *5360 *3306 2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have *1950 *5381 *5381 *5026 *5100 entertained angels unawares. *3579 *0032 *2990 3 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which *3403 *1198 *4887 suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. *2558 *2558 *5607 *0846 *2532 *4983 4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers *1062 *5093 *3956 *2845 *0283 *4205 and adulterers God will judge. *3432 *2316 *2919 5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such *3588 *5158 *0866 *0866 *0714 *3588 things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake *3918 *2046 *3364 *0447 *3364 *1459 thee. 6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear *5620 *2292 *3004 *2962 *0998 *5399 what man shall do unto me. *5101 *0444 7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the *3421 *2233 *3748 *2980 word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation. *3056 *2316 *3739 *4102 *3401 *0333 *1545 *0391 8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. *2424 *5547 *0846 *5504 *4594 *0165 9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good *4064 *4064 *4164 *3581 *1322 *2570 thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have *2588 *0950 *5485 *1033 *3739 not profited them that have been occupied therein. *5623 *4043 *3639 10 We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the *2192 *2379 *3739 *2192 *3756 *1849 *5315 *3000 tabernacle. *4633 11 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the *4983 *5130 *2226 *3739 *0129 *1533 *1519 sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp. *0039 *0749 *0749 *0266 *2618 *1854 *3925 12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own *1352 *2424 *2532 *0037 *2992 *2398 blood, suffered without the gate. *0129 *3958 *1854 *4439 13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his *1831 *1831 *5106 *1854 *3925 *5342 reproach. *3680 14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. *5602 *2192 *3756 *3306 *4172 *1934 *3195 15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, *3767 *0399 *2378 *0133 *2316 *1275 that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. *2590 *5491 *3670 *3686 16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices *2140 *2140 *2842 *1950 *5108 *2378 God is well pleased. *2316 *2100 *2100 17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they *3982 *2233 *5226 *5216 watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it *0069 *5216 *5590 *0591 *3056 *4160 with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you. *5479 *4727 *0255 18 Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things *4336 *3982 *2192 *2570 *4893 *3956 willing to live honestly. *2309 *0390 *2573 19 But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you *3870 *4056 *4160 *5124 *0600 the sooner. *5032 20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, *1161 *2316 *1515 *0321 *0321 *3498 *2962 *2424 that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting *3173 *4166 *4263 *1722 *0129 *0166 covenant, *1242 21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you *2675 *2675 *3956 *0018 *2041 *4160 *2307 *4160 that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be *2101 *1799 *1223 *2424 *5547 *3739 glory for ever and ever. Amen. *1391 *0165 *0165 *0281 22 And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have *3870 *0080 *0430 *3056 *3874 written a letter unto you in few words. *1989 *1989 *1024 23 Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he *1097 *0080 *5095 *0630 *0630 *0630 *3739 *1437 come shortly, I will see you. *2064 *5032 *3700 24 Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They *0782 *3956 *2233 *3956 *0040 of Italy salute you. *2482 *0782 25 Grace be with you all. Amen. *5485 *3956 *0281 ~~~~~~
