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 <165>;



3 Who being the brightness <541> 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 <266>, 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 <32>, 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 <32> 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 <32> of God <2316> worship
<4352> him.



7 And of the angels <32> he saith <3004>, Who < 3739> maketh
<4160> his angels <32> 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 <165> and ever <165>: a sceptre <4464> of
righteousness <2118> [is] the sceptre <4464> of thy kingdom
<932>.



9 Thou hast loved <25> righteousness <1343>, and hated <3404>
iniquity <458>; therefore <5124> God <2316>, [even] thy God
<2316>, hath anointed <5548> thee with the oil < 1637> of
gladness <20> above <3844> thy fellows <3353>.



10 And, Thou, Lord <2962>, in the beginning <746> 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 <622>; 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 <236>: but thou art <1488> the same <846>,
and thy years <2094> shall not fail <1587>.



13 But to which <5101> of the angels <32> 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 <649> forth <649> 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
<191>, 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 <32>
was stedfast <949>, 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 <272> so
<5082> great <5082> salvation <4991>; which < 3748> at the first
<746> began <2983> to be spoken <2980> by the Lord <2962>, and
was confirmed <950> unto us by them that heard <191> [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 <40>
Ghost <4151>, according <2596> to his own will < 2308>?



5. For unto the angels <32> 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 <444>, that thou art mindful
<3403> of him? or <2228> the son <5207> of man <444>, that thou
visitest <1980> him?



7 Thou madest <1642> him a little <1024> lower < 1642> than
<3844> the angels <32>; 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 < 863> nothing
<3762> [that is] not put <506> under <506> him. But now <3568>
we see <3708> not yet <3768> all <3956> things put <5293> under
<5293> him.



9 But we see <991> Jesus <2424>, who <3588> was made <1642> a
little <1024> lower <1642> than <3844> the angels <32> 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
<71> many <4183> sons <5207> unto glory < 1391>, to make <5055>
the captain <747> of their salvation <4991> perfect <5048>
through <1223> sufferings <3804>.



11 For both <5037> he that sanctifieth <37> and they who are
sanctified <37> [are] all <3956> of one <1520>: for which <3739>
cause <156> he is not ashamed <1870> to call < 2564> them
brethren <80>,



12 Saying <3004>, I will declare <518> thy name < 3686> unto my
brethren <80>, 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 <129> , he also <2532>
himself <846> likewise <3898> took <3348> part <3348> of the
same <846>; 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 <525> 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 <32>; 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 < 80>, that he
might be a merciful <1655> and faithful <4103> high <749> priest
<749> in things [pertaining] to God <2316>, to make <2433>
reconciliation <2433> for the sins <266> of the people <2992>.



18 For in that he himself <846> hath suffered <3958> being
tempted <3985>, he is able <1410> to succour < 997> them that are
tempted <3985>.



Hebrews 3



1. Wherefore <3606>, holy <40> brethren <80>, partakers <3353>
of the heavenly <2032> calling <2821>, consider < 2657> the
Apostle <652> and High <749> Priest <749> 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 <515> worthy < 515> 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 <848>
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 <949> unto the end <5056>.



7. Wherefore <1352> (as the Holy <40> Ghost < 4151> saith <3004>,
To day <4594> if <1437> ye will hear <191> 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 <104> 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 <991>, brethren <80>, lest <3379> there be in any
<5100> of you an evil <4190> heart <2588> of unbelief <570>, in
departing <868> 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 <539>
of sin <266>.



14 For we are made <1096> partakers <3353> of Christ <5547>, if
<1437> we hold <2722> the beginning <746> of our confidence
<5287> stedfast <949> unto the end <5056>;



15 While <3588> it is said <3004>, To day < 4594> if <1437> ye
will hear <191> his voice <5456>, harden <4645> not your <5216>
hearts <2588>, as in the provocation <3894>.



16 For some <5100>, when they had heard <191>, did provoke
<3893>: howbeit <235> not all <3956> that came <1831> out of
Egypt <125> by Moses <3475>.



17 But with whom <5101> was he grieved <4360> forty <5062>
years <2094>? [was it] not with them that had sinned < 264>,
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 <544> not?



19 So <2532> we see <991> that they could < 1410> not enter
<1525> in because <1223> of unbelief <570>.



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 < 189> did not
profit <5623> them, not being mixed <4786> with faith <4102> in
them that heard <191> [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 < 620> that some
<5100> must enter <1525> therein <846>, and they to whom it was
first <4386> preached <2097> entered <1525> not in because
<1223> of unbelief <543>:



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 <191> 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
<243> day <2250>.



9 There remaineth <620> therefore <686> 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 < 848> 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 <846> example <5262> of unbelief <543>.



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 <719> 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 <852> 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
<749> priest <749>, 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 <749> priest < 749> which
cannot <1410> be touched <4834> with the feeling < 4834> of our
infirmities <769>; but was in all <3956> points tempted <3985>
like <3665> as [we are, yet] without <5565> sin < 266>.



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 <996> in time
<2121> of need <2121>.



Hebrews 5



1. For every <3956> high <749> priest <749> taken <2983> from
among <3319> men <444> is ordained <2525> for men <444> in
things [pertaining] to God <2316>, that he may offer < 4374> both
<5037> gifts <1435> and sacrifices <2378> for sins <266>:



2 Who can <1410> have compassion <3356> on the ignorant <50>,
and on them that are out of the way <4105>; for that he himself
<846> also <2532> is compassed <4029> with infirmity <769>.



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 <266>.



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 <2>.



5 So <3779> also <2532> Christ <5547> glorified <1392> not
himself <1438> to be made <1096> an high <749> priest <749>; 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 <165> 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 <159> of eternal <166> salvation <4991> unto all <3956>
them that obey <5219> him;



10. Called <4316> of God <2316> an high <749> priest <749>
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 <189>.



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 <746> 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 <552> 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 <145> exercised
<1128> to discern <1253> both <5037> good < 2570> and evil <2556>.



Hebrews 6



1. Therefore leaving <863> the principles <746> 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 <909>, and of laying
<1936> on <1936> of hands <5495>, and of resurrection <386> of
the dead <3498>, and of eternal <166> judgment < 2917>.



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



4 For [it is] impossible <102> for those <3588> who were once
<530> enlightened <5461>, and have tasted <1089> of the heavenly
<2032> gift <1431>, and were made <1096> partakers <3353> of the
Holy <40> Ghost <4151>,



5 And have tasted <1089> the good <2570> word < 4487> of God
<2316>, and the powers <1411> of the world <165> to come <3195>,



6 If they shall fall <3895> away <3895>, to renew <340> them
again <3825> unto repentance <3341>; seeing they crucify <388>
to themselves <1438> the Son <5207> of God < 2316> afresh <388>,
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 <173> and briers <5146>
[is] rejected <96>, and [is] nigh <1451> unto cursing <2671>;
whose <3739> end <5056> [is] to be burned <2740> .



9. But, beloved <27>, 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 <94> to forget <1950>
your <5216> work <2041> and labour <2873> of love <26>, which
<3739> ye have shewed <1731> toward <1519> his name <3686>, in
that ye have ministered <1247> to the saints <40>, and do
minister <1247>.



11 And we desire <1937> that every <1538> one of you do shew
<1731> the same <846> 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 <444> verily <3303> swear <3660> by the greater
<3187>: and an oath <3727> for confirmation < 951> [is] to them
an end <4009> of all <3956> strife <485>.



17 Wherein <3757> God <2316>, willing <1014> more <4054>
abundantly <4054> to shew <1925> unto the heirs < 2818> of
promise <1860> the immutability <276> of his counsel <1012>,
confirmed <3315> [it] by an oath <3727>:



18 That by two <1417> immutable <276> things, in which <3739>
[it was] impossible <102> 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 <45> of the
soul <5590>, both <5037> sure <804> and stedfast <949>, 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 <749> priest
<749> for ever <165> after <2596> the order < 5010> of
Melchisedec <3198>.



Hebrews 7



1. For this <3778> Melchisedec <3198>, king < 935> of Salem
<4532>, priest <2409> of the most <5310> high <5310> God <2316>,
who <3588> met <4876> Abraham <11> returning <5290> from the
slaughter <2871> of the kings <935>, and blessed < 2127> him;



2 To whom <3739> also <2532> Abraham <11> gave a tenth <1181>
part <3307> of all <3956>; first <4412> being by interpretation
<2059> King <935> of righteousness <1343>, and after <1899> that
also <2532> King <935> of Salem <4532>, which <3739> is, King
<935> of peace <1515>;



3 Without <540> father <540>, without <282> mother <282>,
without <35> descent <35>, having <2192> neither <3383>
beginning <746> of days <2250>, nor <3383> end <5056> of life
<2222>; but made <871> like <871> 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 <11> gave <1325> the tenth < 1181> of the spoils
<205>.



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 <586> of the people <2992> according < 2596> to the law
<3551>, that is, of their brethren <80>, 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 < 485> the less
<1640> is blessed <2127> of the better <2909>.



8 And here <5602> men <444> that die <599> 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 <450> after <2596> the order <5010> of
Melchisedec <3198>, and not be called <3004> after <2596> the
order <5010> of Aaron <2>?



12 For the priesthood <2420> being changed <3346>, there is
made <1096> of necessity <318> 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 <393>
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 <450> 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 <179> life <2222>.



17 For he testifieth <3140>, Thou [art] a priest < 2409> for
ever <165> after <2596> the order <5010> of Melchisedec <3198>.



18 For there is verily <3303> a disannulling <115> of the
commandment <1785> going <4254> before <4254> for the weakness
<772> and unprofitableness <512> thereof <846>.



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 <165> 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 <165>, hath <2192> an unchangeable <531> 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 <749> priest <749> became <4241> us,
[who is] holy <3741>, harmless <172>, undefiled < 283>, separate
<5562> from sinners <268>, and made <1096> higher <5308> than
the heavens <3772>;



27 Who <3739> needeth <318> not daily <2250>, as those <3588>
high <749> priests <749>, to offer <399> up sacrifice <2378>,
first <4386> for his own <2398> sins <266>, 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 <444> high <749>
priests <749> which have <2192> infirmity <769>; 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 <165>.



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 <749>
priest <749>, 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 <39>, and of the true
<228> tabernacle <4633>, which <3739> the Lord <2962> pitched
<4078>, and not man <444>.



3 For every <3956> high <749> priest <749> is ordained <2525>
to offer <4374> gifts <1435> and sacrifices < 2378>: wherefore
<3606> [it is] of necessity <316> 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 <273>, 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 <125>; because <3754> they continued <1696>
not in my covenant <1242>, and I regarded <272> 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 <80>, 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 <93>,
and their sins <266> and their iniquities <458> 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 <854> 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 <39>.



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 <740>; which < 3748> is called
<3004> the sanctuary <39>.



3 And after <3326> the second <1208> veil < 2665>, the
tabernacle <4633> which <3588> is called <3004> the Holiest <39>
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 <2> rod
<4464> that budded <985>, 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 <749>
priest <749> alone <3441> once <530> every year <1763>, not
without <5565> blood <129>, which <3739> he offered <4374> for
himself <1438>, and [for] the errors <51> of the people <2992>:



8. The Holy <40> Ghost <4151> this <5124> signifying <1213>,
that the way <3598> into the holiest <39> 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 <909>, 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 < 749> priest
<749> of good <18> 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 <129> of goats < 5131> and calves
<3448>, but by his own <2398> blood <129> he entered <1525> in
once <2178> into <1519> the holy <39> place, having obtained
<2174> eternal <166> redemption <3085> [for us].



13 For if <1487> the blood <129> of bulls < 5022> and of goats
<5131>, and the ashes <4700> of an heifer <1151> sprinkling
<4472> the unclean <2840>, sanctifieth <37> to the purifying
<2514> of the flesh <4561>:



14 How <4214> much <4214> more <3123> shall the blood <129> of
Christ <5547>, who <3739> through <1223> the eternal <166>
Spirit <4151> offered <4374> himself <1438> without <299> spot
<299> 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 <629> 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 <166> inheritance < 2817>.



16 For where <3699> a testament <1242> [is], there must also of
necessity <318> be the death <2288> of the testator <1303>.



17 For a testament <1242> [is] of force <949> 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 <129>.



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 <129> 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 <975>, and all <3956> the people <2992>,



20 Saying <3004>, This <5124> [is] the blood < 129> of the
testament <1242> which <3739> God <2316> hath enjoined <1781>
unto you.



21 Moreover <1161> he sprinkled <4472> with blood <129> 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 <129>; and without < 5565> shedding
<130> of blood <130> is no <3756> remission < 859>.



23. [It was] therefore <3767> necessary <318> that the patterns
<5262> of things in the heavens <3772> should be purified <2511>
with these <5125>; but the heavenly <2032> things themselves
<846> with better <2909> sacrifices <2378> than <3844> these
<5025>.



24 For Christ <5547> is not entered <1525> into < 1519> the holy
<39> places made <5499> with hands <5499>, [which are] the
figures <499> of the true <228>; but into <1519> heaven <3772>
itself <846>, 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 <749> priest <749> entereth <1535>
into <1519> the holy <39> place every <2596> year <1763> with
blood <129> of others <245>;



26 For then must <1163> he often <4178> have suffered <3958>
since <575> the foundation <2602> of the world < 2889>: but now
<3568> once <530> in the end <4930> of the world <165> hath he
appeared <5319> to put <115> away <115> sin < 266> by the
sacrifice <2378> of himself <848>.



27 And as it is appointed <606> unto men <444> once <530> to
die <599>, but after <3326> this <5124> the judgment <2920>:



28 So <3779> Christ <5547> was once <530> offered <4374> to
bear <399> the sins <266> of many <4183>; and unto them that
look <553> for him shall he appear <3700> the second <1208> time
without <5565> sin <266> unto salvation <4991>.



Hebrews 10



1. For the law <3551> having <2192> a shadow < 4639> of good
<18> things to come <3195>, [and] not the very < 846> image
<1504> of the things <4229>, can <1410> never <3763> with those
<846> 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 <530>
purged <2508> should have <2192> had <2192> no <3367> more
<2089> conscience <4893> of sins <266>.



3 But in those <846> [sacrifices there is] a remembrance <364>
again <364> [made] of sins <266> every <2596> year <1763>.



4 For [it is] not possible <102> that the blood <129> of bulls
<5022> and of goats <5131> should take <851> away <851> sins
<266>.



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
<266> 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 <975> it is written < 1125> of me,) to
do <4160> thy will <2307>, O God <2316>.



8 Above <511> when he said <3004>, Sacrifice < 2378> and
offering <4376> and burnt <3646> offerings < 3646> and [offering]
for sin <266> 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 <337> away <337>
the first <4413>, that he may establish <2476> the second <1208>.



10 By the which <3739> will <2307> we are sanctified <37>
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 <846> sacrifices <2378>, which <3748> can <1410> never
<3763> take <4014> away <4014> sins <266>:



12 But this <3778> man, after he had offered <4374> one <3391>
sacrifice <2378> for sins <266> 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 <37>.



15 [Whereof] the Holy <40> 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 <266> and iniquities <458> will I remember
<3415> no <3361> more <2089>.



18 Now <1161> where <3699> remission <859> of these <5130> [is,
there is] no <3765> more <2089> offering <4376> for sin <266>.



19. Having <2192> therefore <3767>, brethren < 80>, boldness
<3954> to enter <1529> into the holiest <39> by the blood <129>
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 < 227> 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 <186> wavering <186>; (for he [is]
faithful <4103> that promised <1861>;)



24 And let us consider <2657> one <240> another < 240> to
provoke <3948> unto love <26> 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 <991> the day <2250> approaching
<1448>.



26 For if we sin <264> wilfully <1596> after < 3326> that we
have received <2983> the knowledge <1922> of the truth <225>,
there remaineth <620> no <3765> more <2089> sacrifice <2378> for
sins <266>,



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 <114> Moses <3475>' law < 3551> died <599>
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 <515>, who <3588>
hath trodden <2662> under <2662> foot <2662> the Son <5207> of
God <2316>, and hath counted <2233> the blood < 129> of the
covenant <1242>, wherewith <3739> he was sanctified <37>, 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 <467>, 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 <363> to remembrance <363> the former <4386> days
<2250>, in which <3739>, after ye were illuminated <5461>, ye
endured <5278> a great <4183> fight <119> 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 <390>.



34 For ye had compassion <4834> of me in my bonds < 1199>, and
took <4327> joyfully <5479> the spoiling <724> 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 <577> not away <577> 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 <684>; 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
<991>.



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



3 Through faith <4102> we understand <3539> that the worlds
<165> were framed <2675> by the word <4487> of God <2316>, so
<1519> that things which <3588> are seen <991> were not made
<1096> of things which do appear <5316>.



4. By faith <4102> Abel <6> 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 <599> 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 <102> 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 <991> 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 <245> 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 <846>
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
<798> of the sky <3772> in multitude <4128>, and as the sand
<285> which <3588> is by the sea <2281> shore <5491> innumerable
<382>.



13 These <3778> all <3956> died <599> 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 <782> [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
<344>.



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 <324>
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 <599>,
blessed <2127> both <1538> the sons <5207> of Joseph <2501>; and
worshipped <4352>, [leaning] upon the top <206> 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 < 791> child
<3813>; and they were not afraid <5399> of the king's <935>
commandment <1297>.



24 By faith <4102> Moses <3475>, when he was come <1096> to
years <3173>, refused <720> to be called <3004> the son <5207>
of Pharaoh's <5328> daughter <2364>;



25 Choosing <138> rather <3123> to suffer < 4778> affliction
<4797> with the people <2992> of God <2316>, than <2228> to
enjoy <619> the pleasures of sin <266> for a season <2340>;



26 Esteeming <2233> the reproach <3680> of Christ <5547>
greater <3187> riches <4149> than the treasures < 2344> in Egypt
<125>: for he had respect <578> unto the recompence <3405> of
the reward <3405>.



27 By faith <4102> he forsook <2641> Egypt < 125>, not fearing
<5399> the wrath <2372> of the king <935>: for he endured <2594>,
as seeing <3708> him who is invisible <517>.



28 Through faith <4102> he kept <4160> the passover <3957>, and
the sprinkling <4378> of blood <129>, 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 <124> 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 <544> 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 <913>, 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 <932>, 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
<769> were made <1743> strong <1743>, waxed < 1096> valiant
<2478> in fight <4171>, turned <2827> to flight the armies
<3925> of the aliens <245>.



35 Women <1135> received <2983> their dead < 3498> raised <386>
to life again <386>: and others <243> were tortured <5178>, not
accepting <4327> deliverance <629>; that they might obtain
<5177> a better <2909> resurrection <386>:



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 <599> with the sword
<3162>: they wandered <4022> about <4022> in sheepskins <3374>
and goatskins <122>; being destitute <5302>, afflicted <2346>,
tormented <2558>;



38 (Of whom <3739> the world <2889> was not worthy <514>:) 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 <659> aside <659> every <3956>
weight <3591>, and the sin <266> which doth so easily beset
<2139> [us], and let us run <5143> with patience < 5281> the race
<73> that is set <4295> before <4295> us,



2 Looking <872> unto Jesus <2424> the author < 747> 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 <152>, and is set < 2523> down <2523>
at <1722> the right <1188> hand of the throne < 2362> of God
<2316>.



3 For consider <357> him that endured <5278> such <5108>
contradiction <485> of sinners <268> against < 1519> himself
<848>, lest <3361> ye be wearied <2577> and faint <1590> in your
<5216> minds <5590>.



4. Ye have not yet <3768> resisted <478> unto blood <129>,
striving <464> against <4314> sin <266>.



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 <25> 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 <686> 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 < 848> pleasure
<1380>; but he for [our] profit <4851>, that [we] might be
partakers <3335> of his holiness <41>.



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 < 591> the
peaceable <1516> fruit <2590> of righteousness < 1343> unto them
which are exercised <1128> thereby <846>.



12 Wherefore <1352> lift <461> 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 <38>, 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 <952> person, as Esau <2269>, who <3739> for one <3391>
morsel <1035> of meat <1035> sold <591> 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 <593>: 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
<191> 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 <32>,



23 To the general assembly <3831> and church <1577> of the
firstborn <4416>, which are written <583> 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 <129> of sprinkling <4473>,
that speaketh <2980> better <2909> things than [that of] Abel
<6>.



25 See <991> 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 < 654> away
<654> 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 <530> more I shake <4579> not the earth <1093>
only <3440>, but also <2532> heaven <3772>.



27 And this <3588> [word], Yet <2089> once < 530> 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 <932> which
cannot <761> be moved <761>, let us have <2192> grace <5485>,
whereby <3739> we may serve <3000> God <2316> acceptably <2102>
with reverence <127> 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
<32> 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 <846> also <2532> in the body
<4983>.



4 Marriage <1062> [is] honourable <5093> in all < 3956>, and the
bed <2845> undefiled <283>: but whoremongers < 4205> and
adulterers <3432> God <2316> will judge <2919>.



5 [Let your <3588>] conversation <5158> [be] without <866>
covetousness <866>; [and be] content <714> with such <3588>
things as ye have <3918>: for he hath said <2046>, I will never
<3364> leave <447> thee, nor <3364> forsake < 1459> thee.



6 So <5620> that we may boldly <2292> say < 3004>, The Lord
<2962> [is] my helper <998>, and I will not fear < 5399> what
<5101> man <444> 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 <333> the
end <1545> of [their] conversation <391>.



8 Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> the same <846> yesterday <5504>,
and to day <4594>, and for ever <165>.



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 <950> 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 <129> is brought <1533> into < 1519> the sanctuary
<39> by the high <749> priest <749> for sin < 266>, are burned
<2618> without <1854> the camp <3925>.



12 Wherefore <1352> Jesus <2424> also <2532>, that he might
sanctify <37> the people <2992> with his own < 2398> blood <129>,
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 <399> the sacrifice
<2378> of praise <133> 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 < 69> for your
<5216> souls <5590>, as they that must give < 591> account <3056>,
that they may do <4160> it with joy <5479>, and not with grief
<4727>: for that [is] unprofitable <255> 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 <390> honestly <2573>.



19 But I beseech <3870> [you] the rather <4056> to do <4160>
this <5124>, that I may be restored <600> to you the sooner
<5032>.



20 Now <1161> the God <2316> of peace <1515>, that brought
<321> again <321> from the dead <3498> our Lord <2962> Jesus
<2424>, that great <3173> shepherd <4166> of the sheep <4263>,
through <1722> the blood <129> of the everlasting < 166> covenant
<1242>,



21 Make <2675> you perfect <2675> in every < 3956> good <18>
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 <165> and ever <165>. Amen < 281>.



22 And I beseech <3870> you, brethren <80>, suffer <430> 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 <80> Timothy <5095> is set
<630> at <630> liberty <630>; with whom < 3739>, if <1437> he
come <2064> shortly <5032>, I will see <3700> you.



24 Salute <782> all <3956> them that have the rule <2233> over
you, and all <3956> the saints <40>. They of Italy <2482> salute
<782> you.



25 Grace <5485> [be] with you all <3956>. Amen < 281>.
