HEBREWS 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake
in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
HEBREWS 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by {his} Son,
whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made
the worlds;
HEBREWS 1:3 Who being the brightness of {his} glory, and the
express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word
of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on
the right hand of the Majesty on high;
HEBREWS 1:4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath
by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
HEBREWS 1:5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time,
Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will
be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
HEBREWS 1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into
the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
HEBREWS 1:7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels
spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
HEBREWS 1:8 But unto the Son {he saith}, Thy throne, O God, {is}
for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness {is} the sceptre of
thy kingdom.
HEBREWS 1:9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity;
therefore God, {even} thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of
gladness above thy fellows.
HEBREWS 1:10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the
foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine
hands:
HEBREWS 1:11 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all
shall wax old as doth a garment;
HEBREWS 1:12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they
shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not
fail.
HEBREWS 1:13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit
on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
HEBREWS 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to
minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
HEBREWS 2:1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to
the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let
{them} slip.
HEBREWS 2:2 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and
every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence
of reward;
HEBREWS 2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great
salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and
was confirmed unto us by them that heard {him};
HEBREWS 2:4 God also bearing {them} witness, both with signs and
wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost,
according to his own will?
HEBREWS 2:5 For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the
world to come, whereof we speak.
HEBREWS 2:6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is
man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou
visitest him?
HEBREWS 2:7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou
crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the
works of thy hands:
HEBREWS 2:8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his
feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left
nothing {that is} not put under him. But now we see not yet all
things put under him.
HEBREWS 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than
the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and
honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every
man.
HEBREWS 2:10 For it became him, for whom {are} all things, and by
whom {are} all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make
the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
HEBREWS 2:11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are
sanctified {are} all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to
call them brethren,
HEBREWS 2:12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in
the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
HEBREWS 2:13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again,
Behold I and the children which God hath given me.
HEBREWS 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of
flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same;
that through death he might destroy him that had the power of
death, that is, the devil;
HEBREWS 2:15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all
their lifetime subject to bondage.
HEBREWS 2:16 For verily he took not on {him the nature of}
angels; but he took on {him} the seed of Abraham.
HEBREWS 2:17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made
like unto {his} brethren, that he might be a merciful and
faithful high priest in things {pertaining} to God, to make
reconciliation for the sins of the people.
HEBREWS 2:18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted,
he is able to succour them that are tempted.
HEBREWS 3:1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly
calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession,
Christ Jesus;
HEBREWS 3:2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also
Moses {was faithful} in all his house.
HEBREWS 3:3 For this {man} was counted worthy of more glory than
Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour
than the house.
HEBREWS 3:4 For every house is builded by some {man}; but he that
built all things {is} God.
HEBREWS 3:5 And Moses verily {was} faithful in all his house, as
a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be
spoken after;
HEBREWS 3:6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house
are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the
hope firm unto the end.
HEBREWS 3:7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will
hear his voice,
HEBREWS 3:8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the
day of temptation in the wilderness:
HEBREWS 3:9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my
works forty years.
HEBREWS 3:10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and
said, They do alway err in {their} heart; and they have not known
my ways.
HEBREWS 3:11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my
rest.)
HEBREWS 3:12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an
evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
HEBREWS 3:13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To
day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of
sin.
HEBREWS 3:14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the
beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
HEBREWS 3:15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice,
harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
HEBREWS 3:16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit
not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
HEBREWS 3:17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? {was it}
not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the
wilderness?
HEBREWS 3:18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into
his rest, but to them that believed not?
HEBREWS 3:19 So we see that they could not enter in because of
unbelief.
HEBREWS 4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left
{us} of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come
short of it.
HEBREWS 4:2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto
them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed
with faith in them that heard {it}.
HEBREWS 4:3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he
said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my
rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the
world.
HEBREWS 4:4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh {day}
on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his
works.
HEBREWS 4:5 And in this {place} again, if they shall enter into
my rest.
HEBREWS 4:6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter
therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in
because of unbelief:
HEBREWS 4:7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To
day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear
his voice, harden not your hearts.
HEBREWS 4:8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not
afterward have spoken of another day.
HEBREWS 4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of
God.
HEBREWS 4:10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath
ceased from his own works, as God {did} from his.
HEBREWS 4:11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest,
lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
HEBREWS 4:12 For the word of God {is} quick, and powerful, and
sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing
asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and
{is} a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
HEBREWS 4:13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest
in his sight: but all things {are} naked and opened unto the eyes
of him with whom we have to do.
HEBREWS 4:14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that
is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold
fast {our} profession.
HEBREWS 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be
touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all
points tempted like as {we are, yet} without sin.
HEBREWS 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of
grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time
of need.
HEBREWS 5:1 For every high priest taken from among men is
ordained for men in things {pertaining} to God, that he may offer
both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
HEBREWS 5:2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them
that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed
with infirmity.
HEBREWS 5:3 And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so
also for himself, to offer for sins.
HEBREWS 5:4 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he
that is called of God, as {was} Aaron.
HEBREWS 5:5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an
high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day
have I begotten thee.
HEBREWS 5:6 As he saith also in another {place}, Thou {art} a
priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
HEBREWS 5:7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up
prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him
that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he
feared;
HEBREWS 5:8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the
things which he suffered;
HEBREWS 5:9 And being made perfect, he became the author of
eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
HEBREWS 5:10 Called of God an high priest after the order of
Melchisedec.
HEBREWS 5:11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be
uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.
HEBREWS 5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye
have need that one teach you again which {be} the first
principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have
need of milk, and not of strong meat.
HEBREWS 5:13 For every one that useth milk {is} unskilful in the
word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
HEBREWS 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full
age, {even} those who by reason of use have their senses
exercised to discern both good and evil.
HEBREWS 6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of
Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the
foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward
God,
HEBREWS 6:2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of
hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
HEBREWS 6:3 And this will we do, if God permit.
HEBREWS 6:4 For {it is} impossible for those who were once
enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made
partakers of the Holy Ghost,
HEBREWS 6:5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers
of the world to come,
HEBREWS 6:6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto
repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God
afresh, and put {him} to an open shame.
HEBREWS 6:7 For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh
oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is
dressed, receiveth blessing from God:
HEBREWS 6:8 But that which beareth thorns and briers {is}
rejected, and {is} nigh unto cursing; whose end {is} to be
burned.
HEBREWS 6:9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you,
and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.
HEBREWS 6:10 For God {is} not unrighteous to forget your work and
labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye
have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
HEBREWS 6:11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same
diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
HEBREWS 6:12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who
through faith and patience inherit the promises.
HEBREWS 6:13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he
could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,
HEBREWS 6:14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and
multiplying I will multiply thee.
HEBREWS 6:15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained
the promise.
HEBREWS 6:16 For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for
confirmation {is} to them an end of all strife.
HEBREWS 6:17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto
the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed
{it} by an oath:
HEBREWS 6:18 That by two immutable things, in which {it was}
impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation,
who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
HEBREWS 6:19 Which {hope} we have as an anchor of the soul, both
sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
HEBREWS 6:20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, {even}
Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of
Melchisedec.
HEBREWS 7:1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the
most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of
the kings, and blessed him;
HEBREWS 7:2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first
being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that
also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;
HEBREWS 7:3 Without father, without mother, without descent,
having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like
unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.
HEBREWS 7:4 Now consider how great this man {was}, unto whom even
the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.
HEBREWS 7:5 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who
receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take
tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their
brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:
HEBREWS 7:6 But he whose descent is not counted from them
received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the
promises.
HEBREWS 7:7 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of
the better.
HEBREWS 7:8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he
{receiveth them}, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.
HEBREWS 7:9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes,
payed tithes in Abraham.
HEBREWS 7:10 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when
Melchisedec met him.
HEBREWS 7:11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical
priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what
further need {was there} that another priest should rise after
the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of
Aaron?
HEBREWS 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of
necessity a change also of the law.
HEBREWS 7:13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to
another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.
HEBREWS 7:14 For {it is} evident that our Lord sprang out of
Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
HEBREWS 7:15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the
similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,
HEBREWS 7:16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal
commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
HEBREWS 7:17 For he testifieth, Thou {art} a priest for ever
after the order of Melchisedec.
HEBREWS 7:18 For there is verily a disannulling of the
commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness
thereof.
HEBREWS 7:19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing
in of a better hope {did}; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
HEBREWS 7:20 And inasmuch as not without an oath {he was made
priest}:
HEBREWS 7:21 (For those priests were made without an oath; but
this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and
will not repent, Thou {art} a priest for ever after the order of
Melchisedec:)
HEBREWS 7:22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better
testament.
HEBREWS 7:23 And they truly were many priests, because they were
not suffered to continue by reason of death:
HEBREWS 7:24 But this {man}, because he continueth ever, hath an
unchangeable priesthood.
HEBREWS 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the
uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to
make intercession for them.
HEBREWS 7:26 For such an high priest became us, {who is} holy,
harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than
the heavens;
HEBREWS 7:27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to
offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the
people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
HEBREWS 7:28 For the law maketh men high priests which have
infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law,
{maketh} the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.
HEBREWS 8:1 Now of the things which we have spoken {this is} the
sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of
the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
HEBREWS 8:2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true
tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
HEBREWS 8:3 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and
sacrifices: wherefore {it is} of necessity that this man have
somewhat also to offer.
HEBREWS 8:4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest,
seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the
law:
HEBREWS 8:5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly
things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make
the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, {that} thou make all things
according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.
HEBREWS 8:6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry,
by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which
was established upon better promises.
HEBREWS 8:7 For if that first {covenant} had been faultless, then
should no place have been sought for the second.
HEBREWS 8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the
days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with
the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
HEBREWS 8:9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their
fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out
of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant,
and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
HEBREWS 8:10 For this {is} the covenant that I will make with the
house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my
laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will
be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
HEBREWS 8:11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour,
and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall
know me, from the least to the greatest.
HEBREWS 8:12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and
their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
HEBREWS 8:13 In that he saith, A new {covenant}, he hath made the
first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old {is} ready to
vanish away.
HEBREWS 9:1 Then verily the first {covenant} had also ordinances
of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.
HEBREWS 9:2 For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein
{was} the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is
called the sanctuary.
HEBREWS 9:3 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is
called the Holiest of all;
HEBREWS 9:4 Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the
covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein {was} the golden
pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables
of the covenant;
HEBREWS 9:5 And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the
mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.
HEBREWS 9:6 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests
went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service
{of God}.
HEBREWS 9:7 But into the second {went} the high priest alone once
every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and
{for} the errors of the people:
HEBREWS 9:8 The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the
holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first
tabernacle was yet standing:
HEBREWS 9:9 Which {was} a figure for the time then present, in
which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make
him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the
conscience;
HEBREWS 9:10 {Which stood} only in meats and drinks, and divers
washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed {on them} until the time
of reformation.
HEBREWS 9:11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things
to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with
hands, that is to say, not of this building;
HEBREWS 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his
own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained
eternal redemption {for us}.
HEBREWS 9:13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the
ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the
purifying of the flesh:
HEBREWS 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through
the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge
your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
HEBREWS 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new
testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the
transgressions {that were} under the first testament, they which
are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
HEBREWS 9:16 For where a testament {is}, there must also of
necessity be the death of the testator.
HEBREWS 9:17 For a testament {is} of force after men are dead:
otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
HEBREWS 9:18 Whereupon neither the first {testament} was
dedicated without blood.
HEBREWS 9:19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the
people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of
goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled
both the book, and all the people,
HEBREWS 9:20 Saying, This {is} the blood of the testament which
God hath enjoined unto you.
HEBREWS 9:21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the
tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.
HEBREWS 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with
blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
HEBREWS 9:23 {It was} therefore necessary that the patterns of
things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the
heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
HEBREWS 9:24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made
with hands, {which are} the figures of the true; but into heaven
itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
HEBREWS 9:25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the
high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of
others;
HEBREWS 9:26 For then must he often have suffered since the
foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world
hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
HEBREWS 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but
after this the judgment:
HEBREWS 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many;
and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time
without sin unto salvation.
HEBREWS 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come,
{and} not the very image of the things, can never with those
sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the
comers thereunto perfect.
HEBREWS 10:2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered?
because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more
conscience of sins.
HEBREWS 10:3 But in those {sacrifices there is} a remembrance
again {made} of sins every year.
HEBREWS 10:4 For {it is} not possible that the blood of bulls and
of goats should take away sins.
HEBREWS 10:5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith,
Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou
prepared me:
HEBREWS 10:6 In burnt offerings and {sacrifices} for sin thou
hast had no pleasure.
HEBREWS 10:7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book
it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
HEBREWS 10:8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt
offerings and {offering} for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst
pleasure {therein}; which are offered by the law;
HEBREWS 10:9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He
taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
HEBREWS 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the
offering of the body of Jesus Christ once {for all}.
HEBREWS 10:11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and
offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take
away sins:
HEBREWS 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice
for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
HEBREWS 10:13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made
his footstool.
HEBREWS 10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them
that are sanctified.
HEBREWS 10:15 {Whereof} the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us:
for after that he had said before,
HEBREWS 10:16 This {is} the covenant that I will make with them
after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their
hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
HEBREWS 10:17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no
more.
HEBREWS 10:18 Now where remission of these {is, there is} no more
offering for sin.
HEBREWS 10:19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into
the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
HEBREWS 10:20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated
for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
HEBREWS 10:21 And {having} an high priest over the house of God;
HEBREWS 10:22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full
assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil
conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
HEBREWS 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of {our} faith
without wavering; (for he {is} faithful that promised;)
HEBREWS 10:24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto
love and to good works:
HEBREWS 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together,
as the manner of some {is}; but exhorting {one another}: and so
much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
HEBREWS 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received
the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for
sins,
HEBREWS 10:27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and
fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
HEBREWS 10:28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy
under two or three witnesses:
HEBREWS 10:29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he
be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God,
and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was
sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the
Spirit of grace?
HEBREWS 10:30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance
{belongeth} unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And
again, The Lord shall judge his people.
HEBREWS 10:31 {It is} a fearful thing to fall into the hands of
the living God.
HEBREWS 10:32 But call to remembrance the former days, in which,
after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of
afflictions;
HEBREWS 10:33 Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by
reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became
companions of them that were so used.
HEBREWS 10:34 For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took
joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that
ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.
HEBREWS 10:35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath
great recompence of reward.
HEBREWS 10:36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have
done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
HEBREWS 10:37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will
come, and will not tarry.
HEBREWS 10:38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if {any man}
draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
HEBREWS 10:39 But we are not of them who draw back unto
perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
HEBREWS 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the
evidence of things not seen.
HEBREWS 11:2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
HEBREWS 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were
framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not
made of things which do appear.
HEBREWS 11:4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent
sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was
righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead
yet speaketh.
HEBREWS 11:5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see
death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for
before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased
God.
HEBREWS 11:6 But without faith {it is} impossible to please
{him}: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and
{that} he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
HEBREWS 11:7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not
seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of
his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir
of the righteousness which is by faith.
HEBREWS 11:8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into
a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed;
and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
HEBREWS 11:9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as
{in} a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and
Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
HEBREWS 11:10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations,
whose builder and maker {is} God.
HEBREWS 11:11 Through faith also Sara herself received strength
to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past
age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
HEBREWS 11:12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good
as dead, {so many} as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as
the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.
HEBREWS 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the
promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of
{them}, and embraced {them}, and confessed that they were
strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
HEBREWS 11:14 For they that say such things declare plainly that
they seek a country.
HEBREWS 11:15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that
{country} from whence they came out, they might have had
opportunity to have returned.
HEBREWS 11:16 But now they desire a better {country}, that is, an
heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God:
for he hath prepared for them a city.
HEBREWS 11:17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up
Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only
begotten {son},
HEBREWS 11:18 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed
be called:
HEBREWS 11:19 Accounting that God {was} able to raise {him} up,
even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.
HEBREWS 11:20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning
things to come.
HEBREWS 11:21 By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both
the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, {leaning} upon the top of his
staff.
HEBREWS 11:22 By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the
departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment
concerning his bones.
HEBREWS 11:23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three
months of his parents, because they saw {he was} a proper child;
and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.
HEBREWS 11:24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused
to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
HEBREWS 11:25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the
people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
HEBREWS 11:26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches
than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the
recompence of the reward.
HEBREWS 11:27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of
the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
HEBREWS 11:28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the
sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should
touch them.
HEBREWS 11:29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry
{land}: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.
HEBREWS 11:30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they
were compassed about seven days.
HEBREWS 11:31 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them
that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.
HEBREWS 11:32 And what shall I more say? for the time would fail
me to tell of Gedeon, and {of} Barak, and {of} Samson, and {of}
Jephthae; {of} David also, and Samuel, and {of} the prophets:
HEBREWS 11:33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought
righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions.
HEBREWS 11:34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of
the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in
fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
HEBREWS 11:35 Women received their dead raised to life again: and
others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might
obtain a better resurrection:
HEBREWS 11:36 And others had trial of {cruel} mockings and
scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
HEBREWS 11:37 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were
tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in
sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
HEBREWS 11:38 (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered
in deserts, and {in} mountains, and {in} dens and caves of the
earth.
HEBREWS 11:39 And these all, having obtained a good report
through faith, received not the promise:
HEBREWS 11:40 God having provided some better thing for us, that
they without us should not be made perfect.
HEBREWS 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so
great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and
the sin which doth so easily beset {us}, and let us run with
patience the race that is set before us,
HEBREWS 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of {our}
faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross,
despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the
throne of God.
HEBREWS 12:3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of
sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your
minds.
HEBREWS 12:4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving
against sin.
HEBREWS 12:5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh
unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the
chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
HEBREWS 12:6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and
scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
HEBREWS 12:7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as
with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
HEBREWS 12:8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are
partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
HEBREWS 12:9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which
corrected {us}, and we gave {them} reverence: shall we not much
rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
HEBREWS 12:10 For they verily for a few days chastened {us} after
their own pleasure; but he for {our} profit, that {we} might be
partakers of his holiness.
HEBREWS 12:11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be
joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the
peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised
thereby.
HEBREWS 12:12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and
the feeble knees;
HEBREWS 12:13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that
which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be
healed.
HEBREWS 12:14 Follow peace with all {men}, and holiness, without
which no man shall see the Lord:
HEBREWS 12:15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace
of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble {you},
and thereby many be defiled;
HEBREWS 12:16 Lest there {be} any fornicator, or profane person,
as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
HEBREWS 12:17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have
inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of
repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
HEBREWS 12:18 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be
touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and
darkness, and tempest,
HEBREWS 12:19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words;
which {voice} they that heard intreated that the word should not
be spoken to them any more:
HEBREWS 12:20 (For they could not endure that which was
commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall
be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
HEBREWS 12:21 And so terrible was the sight, {that} Moses said, I
exceedingly fear and quake:)
HEBREWS 12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city
of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable
company of angels,
HEBREWS 12:23 To the general assembly and church of the
firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of
all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
HEBREWS 12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and
to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than
{that of} Abel.
HEBREWS 12:25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if
they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more
{shall not} we {escape}, if we turn away from him that {speaketh}
from heaven:
HEBREWS 12:26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath
promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but
also heaven.
HEBREWS 12:27 And this {word}, Yet once more, signifieth the
removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are
made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
HEBREWS 12:28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be
moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably
with reverence and godly fear:
HEBREWS 12:29 For our God {is} a consuming fire.
HEBREWS 13:1 Let brotherly love continue.
HEBREWS 13:2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby
some have entertained angels unawares.
HEBREWS 13:3 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them;
{and} them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in
the body.
HEBREWS 13:4 Marriage {is} honourable in all, and the bed
undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
HEBREWS 13:5 {Let your} conversation {be} without covetousness;
{and be} content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I
will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
HEBREWS 13:6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord {is} my helper,
and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
HEBREWS 13:7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have
spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering
the end of {their} conversation.
HEBREWS 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for
ever.
HEBREWS 13:9 Be not carried about with divers and strange
doctrines. For {it is} a good thing that the heart be established
with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that
have been occupied therein.
HEBREWS 13:10 We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat
which serve the tabernacle.
HEBREWS 13:11 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is
brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned
without the camp.
HEBREWS 13:12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the
people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.
HEBREWS 13:13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the
camp, bearing his reproach.
HEBREWS 13:14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek
one to come.
HEBREWS 13:15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of
praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of {our} lips
giving thanks to his name.
HEBREWS 13:16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for
with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
HEBREWS 13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit
yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give
account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for
that {is} unprofitable for you.
HEBREWS 13:18 Pray for us: for we trust we have a good
conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.
HEBREWS 13:19 But I beseech {you} the rather to do this, that I
may be restored to you the sooner.
HEBREWS 13:20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the
dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through
the blood of the everlasting covenant,
HEBREWS 13:21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will,
working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through
Jesus Christ; to whom {be} glory for ever and ever. Amen.
HEBREWS 13:22 And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of
exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words.
HEBREWS 13:23 Know ye that {our} brother Timothy is set at
liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.
HEBREWS 13:24 Salute all them that have the rule over you, and
all the saints. They of Italy salute you.
HEBREWS 13:25 Grace {be} with you all. Amen.
