Hebrews   1

 1. God <2316>, who at sundry <4181> times and in divers <4187>

manners <4187> spake <2980> in time <3819> past <3819> unto the

fathers <3962> by the prophets <4396>,

 2  Hath in these <5130> last <2078> days <2250> spoken <2980>

unto us by [his] Son <5207>, whom <3739> he hath appointed

<5087> heir <2818> of all <3956> things, by whom <3739> also

<2532> he made <4160> the worlds <0165>;

 3  Who being the brightness <0541> of [his] glory <1391>, and

the express <5481> image <5481> of his person <5287>, and

upholding <5342> all <3956> things by the word <4487> of his

power <1411>, when he had by himself <1438> purged <2512> our

sins <0266>, sat <2523> down <2523> on <1722> the right <1188>

hand of the Majesty <3172> on <1722> high <5308>;

 4. Being made <1096> so <5118> much <5118> better <2909> than

the angels <0032>, as he hath by inheritance <2820> obtained

<2816> a more excellent <1313> name <3686> than <3844> they.

 5  For unto which <5101> of the angels <0032> said <2036> he at

<4218> any <4218> time <4218>, Thou art <1488> my Son <5207>,

this <4594> day <4594> have I begotten <1080> thee? And again

<3825>, I will be to him a Father <3962>, and he shall be to me

a Son <5207>?

 6  And again <3825>, when <3752> he bringeth <1521> in the

firstbegotten <4416> into <1519> the world <3625>, he saith

<3004>, And let all <3956> the angels <0032> of God <2316>

worship <4352> him.

 7  And of the angels <0032> he saith <3004>, Who <3739> maketh

<4160> his angels <0032> spirits <4151>, and his ministers

<3011> a flame <5395> of fire <4442>.

 8  But unto the Son <5207> [he saith], Thy throne <2362>, O God

<2316>, [is] for ever <0165> and ever <0165>: a sceptre <4464>

of righteousness <2118> [is] the sceptre <4464> of thy kingdom

<0932>.

 9  Thou hast loved <0025> righteousness <1343>, and hated

<3404> iniquity <0458>; therefore <5124> God <2316>, [even] thy

God <2316>, hath anointed <5548> thee with the oil <1637> of

gladness <0020> above <3844> thy fellows <3353>.

 10  And, Thou, Lord <2962>, in the beginning <0746> hast laid

the foundation <2311> of the earth <1093>; and the heavens

<3772> are the works <2041> of thine <4675> hands <5495>:

 11  They shall perish <0622>; but thou remainest <1265>; and

they all <3956> shall wax <3822> old <3822> as doth a garment

<2440>;

 12  And as a vesture <4018> shalt thou fold <1667> them up, and

they shall be changed <0236>: but thou art <1488> the same

<0846>, and thy years <2094> shall not fail <1587>.

 13  But to which <5101> of the angels <0032> said <2046> he at

<4218> any <4218> time <4218>, Sit <2521> on <1537> my right

<1188> hand, until <2193> I make <5087> thine <4675> enemies

<2190> thy footstool <5286>?

 14  Are they not all <3956> ministering <3010> spirits <4151>,

sent <0649> forth <0649> to minister <1248> for them who shall

be heirs <2816> of salvation <4991>?

Hebrews   2

 1. Therefore <5124> we ought <1163> to give the more <4056>

earnest <4056> heed <4337> to the things which we have heard

<0191>, lest <3379> at <3379> any <3379> time <4218> we should

let [them] slip <3901>.

 2  For if <1487> the word <3056> spoken <2980> by angels <0032>

was stedfast <0949>, and every <3956> transgression <3847> and

disobedience <3876> received <2983> a just <1738> recompence

<3405> of reward <3405>;

 3  How <4459> shall we escape <1628>, if we neglect <0272> so

<5082> great <5082> salvation <4991>; which <3748> at the first

<0746> began <2983> to be spoken <2980> by the Lord <2962>, and

was confirmed <0950> unto us by them that heard <0191> [him];

 4  God <2316> also <4901> bearing <4901> [them] witness <4901>,

both <5037> with signs <4591> and wonders <5059>, and with

divers <4164> miracles <1411>, and gifts <3311> of the Holy

<0040> Ghost <4151>, according <2596> to his own will <2308>?

 5. For unto the angels <0032> hath he not put <5293> in

subjection <5293> the world <3625> to come <3195>, whereof

<3739> we speak <2980>.

 6  But one <5100> in a certain <4225> place testified <1263>,

saying <3004>, What <5101> is man <0444>, that thou art mindful

<3403> of him? or <2228> the son <5207> of man <0444>, that thou

visitest <1980> him?

 7  Thou madest <1642> him a little <1024> lower <1642> than

<3844> the angels <0032>; thou crownedst <4737> him with glory

<1391> and honour <5092>, and didst set <2525> him over <1909>

the works <2041> of thy hands <5495>:

 8  Thou hast put <5293> all <3956> things in subjection <5293>

under <5270> his feet <4228>. For in that he put <5293> all

<3956> in subjection <5293> under him, he left <0863> nothing

<3762> [that is] not put <0506> under <0506> him. But now <3568>

we see <3708> not yet <3768> all <3956> things put <5293> under

<5293> him.

 9  But we see <0991> Jesus <2424>, who <3588> was made <1642> a

little <1024> lower <1642> than <3844> the angels <0032> for the

suffering <3804> of death <2288>, crowned <4737> with glory

<1391> and honour <5092>; that he by the grace <5485> of God

<2316> should taste <1089> death <2288> for every <3956> man.

 10. For it became <4241> him, for whom <3739> [are] all <3956>

things, and by whom <3739> [are] all <3956> things, in bringing

<0071> many <4183> sons <5207> unto glory <1391>, to make <5055>

the captain <0747> of their salvation <4991> perfect <5048>

through <1223> sufferings <3804>.

 11  For both <5037> he that sanctifieth <0037> and they who are

sanctified <0037> [are] all <3956> of one <1520>: for which

<3739> cause <0156> he is not ashamed <1870> to call <2564> them

brethren <0080>,

 12  Saying <3004>, I will declare <0518> thy name <3686> unto

my brethren <0080>, in the midst <3319> of the church <1577>

will I sing <5214> praise <5214> unto thee.

 13  And again <3825>, I will put <3982> my trust <3982> in him.

And again <3825>, Behold <2400> I and the children <3813> which

<3739> God <2316> hath given <1325> me.

 14. Forasmuch <1893> then <3767> as the children <3813> are

partakers <2841> of flesh <4561> and blood <0129>, he also

<2532> himself <0846> likewise <3898> took <3348> part <3348> of

the same <0846>; that through <1223> death <2288> he might

destroy <2673> him that had <2192> the power <2904> of death

<2288>, that is, the devil <1228>;

 15  And deliver <0525> them who <3745> through fear <5401> of

death <2288> were all <3956> their lifetime <2198> subject

<1777> to bondage <1397>.

 16  For verily <1222> he took <1949> not on <1949> [him the

nature of] angels <0032>; but he took <1949> on <1949> [him] the

seed <4690> of Abraham <11>.

 17  Wherefore <3606> in all <3956> things it behoved <3784> him

to be made <3666> like <3666> unto [his] brethren <0080>, that

he might be a merciful <1655> and faithful <4103> high <0749>

priest <0749> in things [pertaining] to God <2316>, to make

<2433> reconciliation <2433> for the sins <0266> of the people

<2992>.

 18  For in that he himself <0846> hath suffered <3958> being

tempted <3985>, he is able <1410> to succour <0997> them that

are tempted <3985>.

Hebrews   3

 1. Wherefore <3606>, holy <0040> brethren <0080>, partakers

<3353> of the heavenly <2032> calling <2821>, consider <2657>

the Apostle <0652> and High <0749> Priest <0749> of our

profession <3671>, Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>;

 2  Who was faithful <4103> to him that appointed <4160> him, as

also <2532> Moses <3475> [was faithful] in all <3650> his house

<3624>.

 3  For this <3778> [man] was counted <0515> worthy <0515> of

more <4119> glory <1391> than <3844> Moses <3475>, inasmuch

<3745> as he who hath builded <2680> the house <3624> hath

<2192> more <4119> honour <5092> than the house <3624>.

 4  For every <3956> house <3624> is builded <2680> by some

<5100> [man]; but he that built <2680> all <3956> things [is]

God <2316>.

 5  And Moses <3475> verily <3303> [was] faithful <4103> in all

<3650> his house <3624>, as a servant <2324>, for a testimony

<3142> of those <3588> things which were to be spoken <2980>

after;

 6  But Christ <5547> as a son <5207> over <1909> his own <0848>

house <3624>; whose <3739> house <3624> are we, if <1437> we

hold <2722> fast <2722> the confidence <3954> and the rejoicing

<2745> of the hope <1680> firm <0949> unto the end <5056>.

 7. Wherefore <1352> (as the Holy <0040> Ghost <4151> saith

<3004>, To day <4594> if <1437> ye will hear <0191> his voice

<5456>,

 8  Harden <4645> not your <5216> hearts <2588>, as in the

provocation <3894>, in the day <2250> of temptation <3986> in

the wilderness <2048>:

 9  When <3756> your <5216> fathers <3962> tempted <3985> me,

proved <1381> me, and saw <1492> my works <2041> forty <5062>

years <2094>.

 10  Wherefore <1352> I was grieved <4360> with that generation

<1074>, and said <2036>, They do alway <0104> err <4105> in

[their] heart <2588>; and they have not known <1097> my ways

<3598>.

 11  So <5613> I sware <3660> in my wrath <3709>, They shall not

enter <1525> into <1519> my rest <2663>.)

 12  Take heed <0991>, brethren <0080>, lest <3379> there be in

any <5100> of you an evil <4190> heart <2588> of unbelief <0570>,

 in departing <0868> from the living <2198> God <2316>.

 13  But exhort <3870> one <1438> another <1438> daily <2250>,

while <3739> it is called <2564> To day <4594>; lest <3361> any

<5100> of you be hardened <4645> through the deceitfulness

<0539> of sin <0266>.

 14  For we are made <1096> partakers <3353> of Christ <5547>,

if <1437> we hold <2722> the beginning <0746> of our confidence

<5287> stedfast <0949> unto the end <5056>;

 15  While <3588> it is said <3004>, To day <4594> if <1437> ye

will hear <0191> his voice <5456>, harden <4645> not your <5216>

hearts <2588>, as in the provocation <3894>.

 16  For some <5100>, when they had heard <0191>, did provoke

<3893>: howbeit <0235> not all <3956> that came <1831> out of

Egypt <0125> by Moses <3475>.

 17  But with whom <5101> was he grieved <4360> forty <5062>

years <2094>? [was it] not with them that had sinned <0264>,

whose <3739> carcases <2966> fell <4098> in the wilderness

<2048>?

 18  And to whom <5101> sware <3660> he that they should not

enter <1525> into <1519> his rest <2663>, but to them that

believed <0544> not?

 19  So <2532> we see <0991> that they could <1410> not enter

<1525> in because <1223> of unbelief <0570>.

Hebrews   4

 1. Let us therefore <3767> fear <5399>, lest <3379>, a promise

<1860> being left <2641> [us] of entering <1525> into <1519> his

rest <2663>, any <5100> of you should seem <1380> to come <5302>

short <5302> of it.

 2  For unto us was the gospel <2097> preached <2097>, as well

<2509> as unto them: but the word <3056> preached <0189> did not

profit <5623> them, not being mixed <4786> with faith <4102> in

them that heard <0191> [it].

 3  For we which <3588> have believed <4100> do enter <1525>

into <1519> rest <2663>, as he said <2046>, As I have sworn

<3660> in my wrath <3709>, if <1487> they shall enter <1525>

into <1519> my rest <2663>: although <2543> the works <2041>

were finished <1096> from the foundation <2602> of the world

<2889>.

 4  For he spake <2046> in a certain <4225> place of the seventh

<1442> [day] on this <3779> wise <3779>, And God <2316> did rest

<2664> the seventh <1442> day <2250> from all <3956> his works

<2041>.

 5  And in this <5129> [place] again <3825>, If <1487> they

shall enter <1525> into <1519> my rest <2663>.

 6  Seeing <1893> therefore <3767> it remaineth <0620> that some

<5100> must enter <1525> therein <0846>, and they to whom it was

first <4386> preached <2097> entered <1525> not in because

<1223> of unbelief <0543>:

 7  Again <3825>, he limiteth <3724> a certain <5100> day <2250>,

 saying <3004> in David <1138>, To day <4594>, after <3326> so

<5118> long <5118> a time <5550>; as it is said <2046>, To day

<4594> if <1437> ye will hear <0191> his voice <5456>, harden

<4645> not your <5216> hearts <2588>.

 8  For if <1487> Jesus <2424> had given them rest <2664>, then

would he not afterward <5023> have spoken <2980> of another

<0243> day <2250>.

 9  There remaineth <0620> therefore <0686> a rest <4520> to the

people <2992> of God <2316>.

 10  For he that is entered <1525> into <1519> his rest <2663>,

he also <2532> hath ceased <2664> from his own <0848> works

<2041>, as God <2316> [did] from his.

 11. Let us labour <4704> therefore <3767> to enter <1525> into

<1519> that rest <2663>, lest <3361> any <5100> man fall <4098>

after <1722> the same <0846> example <5262> of unbelief <0543>.

 12  For the word <3056> of God <2316> [is] quick <2198>, and

powerful <1756>, and sharper <5114> than <5228> any <3956>

twoedged <1366> sword <3162>, piercing <1338> even to the

dividing <3311> asunder of soul <5590> and spirit <4151>, and of

the joints <0719> and marrow <3452>, and [is] a discerner <2924>

of the thoughts <1761> and intents <1771> of the heart <2588>.

 13  Neither <3756> is there any creature <2937> that is not

manifest <0852> in his sight <1799>: but all <3956> things [are]

naked <1131> and opened <5136> unto the eyes <3788> of him with

whom <3739> we have to do <3056>.

 14  Seeing then <3767> that we have <2192> a great <3173> high

<0749> priest <0749>, that is passed <1330> into the heavens

<3772>, Jesus <2424> the Son <5207> of God <2316>, let us hold

<2902> fast [our] profession <3671>.

 15  For we have <2192> not an high <0749> priest <0749> which

cannot <1410> be touched <4834> with the feeling <4834> of our

infirmities <0769>; but was in all <3956> points tempted <3985>

like <3665> as [we are, yet] without <5565> sin <0266>.

 16  Let us therefore <3767> come <4334> boldly <3954> unto the

throne <2362> of grace <5485>, that we may obtain <2983> mercy

<1656>, and find <2147> grace <5485> to help <0996> in time

<2121> of need <2121>.

Hebrews   5

 1. For every <3956> high <0749> priest <0749> taken <2983> from

among <3319> men <0444> is ordained <2525> for men <0444> in

things [pertaining] to God <2316>, that he may offer <4374> both

<5037> gifts <1435> and sacrifices <2378> for sins <0266>:

 2  Who can <1410> have compassion <3356> on the ignorant <0050>,

 and on them that are out of the way <4105>; for that he himself

<0846> also <2532> is compassed <4029> with infirmity <0769>.

 3  And by reason <1223> hereof <5026> he ought <3784>, as for

the people <2992>, so <3779> also <2532> for himself <1438>, to

offer <4374> for sins <0266>.

 4  And no <3756> man <5100> taketh <2983> this <3588> honour

<5092> unto himself <1438>, but he that is called <2564> of God

<2316>, as [was] Aaron <0002>.

 5  So <3779> also <2532> Christ <5547> glorified <1392> not

himself <1438> to be made <1096> an high <0749> priest <0749>;

but he that said <2980> unto him, Thou art <1488> my Son <5207>,

to day <4594> have I begotten <1080> thee.

 6  As he saith <3004> also <2532> in another <2087> [place],

Thou [art] a priest <2409> for ever <0165> after <2596> the

order <5010> of Melchisedec <3198>.

 7  Who <3739> in the days <2250> of his flesh <4561>, when he

had offered <4374> up prayers <1162> and supplications <2428>

with strong <2478> crying <2906> and tears <1144> unto him that

was able <1410> to save <4982> him from death <2288>, and was

heard <1522> in that he feared <2124>;

 8  Though <2539> he were a Son <5207>, yet learned <3129> he

obedience <5218> by the things which <3739> he suffered <3958>;

 9  And being made <5048> perfect <5048>, he became <1096> the

author <0159> of eternal <0166> salvation <4991> unto all <3956>

them that obey <5219> him;

 10. Called <4316> of God <2316> an high <0749> priest <0749>

after <2596> the order <5010> of Melchisedec <3198>.

 11  Of whom <3739> we have many <4183> things to say <3056>,

and hard <1421> to be uttered <3004>, seeing <1893> ye are dull

<3576> of hearing <0189>.

 12  For when for the time <5550> ye ought <3784> to be teachers

<1320>, ye have <2192> need <5532> that one teach <1321> you

again <3825> which <5101> [be] the first <0746> principles

<4747> of the oracles <3051> of God <2316>; and are become

<1096> such as have <2192> need <5532> of milk <1051>, and not

of strong <4731> meat <5160>.

 13  For every <3956> one that useth <3348> milk <1051> [is]

unskilful <0552> in the word <3056> of righteousness <1343>: for

he is a babe <3516>.

 14  But strong <4731> meat <5160> belongeth <1510> to them that

are of full <5046> age <5046>, [even] those <3588> who by reason

<1223> of use <1838> have <2192> their senses <0145> exercised

<1128> to discern <1253> both <5037> good <2570> and evil <2556>.

Hebrews   6

 1. Therefore leaving <0863> the principles <0746> of the

doctrine <3056> of Christ <5547>, let us go <5342> on unto

perfection <5051>; not laying <2598> again <3825> the foundation

<2310> of repentance <3341> from dead <3498> works <2041>, and

of faith <4102> toward <1909> God <2316>,

 2  Of the doctrine <1322> of baptisms <0909>, and of laying

<1936> on <1936> of hands <5495>, and of resurrection <0386> of

the dead <3498>, and of eternal <0166> judgment <2917>.

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

permit <2010>.

 4  For [it is] impossible <0102> for those <3588> who were once

<0530> enlightened <5461>, and have tasted <1089> of the

heavenly <2032> gift <1431>, and were made <1096> partakers

<3353> of the Holy <0040> Ghost <4151>,

 5  And have tasted <1089> the good <2570> word <4487> of God

<2316>, and the powers <1411> of the world <0165> to come <3195>,

 6  If they shall fall <3895> away <3895>, to renew <0340> them

again <3825> unto repentance <3341>; seeing they crucify <0388>

to themselves <1438> the Son <5207> of God <2316> afresh <0388>,

and put <3856> [him] to an open <3856> shame <3856>.

 7  For the earth <1093> which <3588> drinketh <4095> in the

rain <5205> that cometh <2064> oft <4178> upon it, and bringeth

<5088> forth <5088> herbs <1008> meet <2111> for them by whom

<3739> it is dressed <1090>, receiveth <3335> blessing <2129>

from God <2316>:

 8  But that which beareth <1627> thorns <0173> and briers

<5146> [is] rejected <0096>, and [is] nigh <1451> unto cursing

<2671>; whose <3739> end <5056> [is] to be burned <2740>.

 9. But, beloved <0027>, we are persuaded <3982> better <2909>

things of you, and things that accompany <2192> salvation <4991>,

 though <1499> we thus <3779> speak <2980>.

 10  For God <2316> [is] not unrighteous <0094> to forget <1950>

your <5216> work <2041> and labour <2873> of love <0026>, which

<3739> ye have shewed <1731> toward <1519> his name <3686>, in

that ye have ministered <1247> to the saints <0040>, and do

minister <1247>.

 11  And we desire <1937> that every <1538> one of you do shew

<1731> the same <0846> diligence <4710> to the full <4136>

assurance <4136> of hope <1680> unto the end <5056>:

 12  That ye be not slothful <3576>, but followers <3402> of

them who through <1223> faith <4102> and patience <3115> inherit

<2816> the promises <1860>.

 13  For when God <2316> made <1861> promise <1861> to Abraham

<11>, because <1893> he could <2192> swear <3660> by no <3762>

greater <3187>, he sware <3660> by himself <1438>,

 14  Saying <3004>, Surely <2229> blessing <2129> I will bless

<2127> thee, and multiplying <4129> I will multiply <4129> thee.

 15  And so <3779>, after he had patiently <3114> endured <3114>,

 he obtained <2013> the promise <1860>.

 16  For men <0444> verily <3303> swear <3660> by the greater

<3187>: and an oath <3727> for confirmation <0951> [is] to them

an end <4009> of all <3956> strife <0485>.

 17  Wherein <3757> God <2316>, willing <1014> more <4054>

abundantly <4054> to shew <1925> unto the heirs <2818> of

promise <1860> the immutability <0276> of his counsel <1012>,

confirmed <3315> [it] by an oath <3727>:

 18  That by two <1417> immutable <0276> things, in which <3739>

[it was] impossible <0102> for God <2316> to lie <5574>, we

might have <2192> a strong <2478> consolation <3874>, who <3588>

have fled <2703> for refuge <2703> to lay hold <2902> upon the

hope <1680> set <4295> before <4295> us:

 19  Which <3739> [hope] we have <2192> as an anchor <0045> of

the soul <5590>, both <5037> sure <0804> and stedfast <0949>,

and which entereth <1535> into <1519> that within <2082> the

veil <2665>;

 20  Whither <3699> the forerunner <4274> is for us entered

<1525>, [even] Jesus <2424>, made <1096> an high <0749> priest

<0749> for ever <0165> after <2596> the order <5010> of

Melchisedec <3198>.

Hebrews   7

 1. For this <3778> Melchisedec <3198>, king <0935> of Salem

<4532>, priest <2409> of the most <5310> high <5310> God <2316>,

who <3588> met <4876> Abraham <0011>returning <5290> from the

slaughter <2871> of the kings <0935>, and blessed <2127> him;

 2  To whom <3739> also <2532> Abraham <0011>gave a tenth <1181>

part <3307> of all <3956>; first <4412> being by interpretation

<2059> King <0935> of righteousness <1343>, and after <1899>

that also <2532> King <0935> of Salem <4532>, which <3739> is,

King <0935> of peace <1515>;

 3  Without <0540> father <0540>, without <0282> mother <0282>,

without <0035> descent <0035>, having <2192> neither <3383>

beginning <0746> of days <2250>, nor <3383> end <5056> of life

<2222>; but made <0871> like <0871> unto the Son <5207> of God

<2316>; abideth <3306> a priest <2409> continually <1336>.

 4  Now <1161> consider <2334> how <4080> great <4080> this

<3778> man [was], unto whom <3739> even <2532> the patriarch

<3966> Abraham <0011>gave <1325> the tenth <1181> of the spoils

<0205>.

 5  And verily <3303> they that are of the sons <5207> of Levi

<3017>, who <3588> receive <2983> the office <2405> of the

priesthood <2405>, have <2192> a commandment <1785> to take

tithes <0586> of the people <2992> according <2596> to the law

<3551>, that is, of their brethren <0080>, though <2539> they

come <1831> out of the loins <3751> of Abraham <11>:

 6  But he whose descent <1075> is not counted <1075> from them

received <1183> tithes <1183> of Abraham <11>, and blessed

<2127> him that had <2192> the promises <1860>.

 7  And without <5565> all <3956> contradiction <0485> the less

<1640> is blessed <2127> of the better <2909>.

 8  And here <5602> men <0444> that die <0599> receive <2983>

tithes <1181>; but there <1563> he [receiveth them], of whom it

is witnessed <3140> that he liveth <2198>.

 9  And as I may so <5613> say <2036>, Levi <3017> also <2532>,

who <3588> receiveth <2983> tithes <1183>, payed <1183> tithes

<1183> in Abraham <11>.

 10  For he was yet <2089> in the loins <3751> of his father

<3962>, when <3753> Melchisedec <3198> met <4876> him.

 11. If <1487> therefore <3767> perfection <5050> were by the

Levitical <3020> priesthood <2420>, (for under <1909> it the

people <2992> received <3549> the law <3549>,) what <5101>

further <2089> need <5532> [was there] that another <2087>

priest <2409> should rise <0450> after <2596> the order <5010>

of Melchisedec <3198>, and not be called <3004> after <2596> the

order <5010> of Aaron <0002>?

 12  For the priesthood <2420> being changed <3346>, there is

made <1096> of necessity <0318> a change <3331> also <2532> of

the law <3551>.

 13  For he of whom <3739> these <5023> things <4229> are spoken

<3004> pertaineth <3348> to another <2087> tribe <5443>, of

which <3739> no <3762> man <3762> gave <4337> attendance <4337>

at the altar <2379>.

 14  For [it is] evident <4271> that our Lord <2962> sprang

<0393> out of Juda <2455>; of which <3739> tribe <5443> Moses

<3475> spake <2980> nothing <3762> concerning <4012> priesthood

<2420>.

 15  And it is yet <2089> far <4054> more <4055> evident <2612>:

for that after <2596> the similitude <3665> of Melchisedec

<3198> there ariseth <0450> another <2087> priest <2409>,

 16  Who <3739> is made <1096>, not after <2596> the law <3551>

of a carnal <4559> commandment <1785>, but after <2596> the

power <1411> of an endless <0179> life <2222>.

 17  For he testifieth <3140>, Thou [art] a priest <2409> for

ever <0165> after <2596> the order <5010> of Melchisedec <3198>.

 18  For there is verily <3303> a disannulling <0115> of the

commandment <1785> going <4254> before <4254> for the weakness

<0772> and unprofitableness <0512> thereof <0846>.

 19  For the law <3551> made <5048> nothing <3762> perfect

<5048>, but the bringing <1898> in of a better <2909> hope

<1680> [did]; by the which <3739> we draw nigh <1448> unto God

<2316>.

 20  And inasmuch <3745> as not without <5565> an oath <3728>

[he was made priest]:

 21  (For those <3588> priests <2409> were made <1096> without

<5565> an oath <3728>; but this with an oath <3728> by him that

said <3004> unto him, The Lord <2962> sware <3660> and will not

repent <3338>, Thou [art] a priest <2409> for ever <0165> after

<2596> the order <5010> of Melchisedec <3198>:)

 22  By so <5118> much <5118> was Jesus <2424> made <1096> a

surety <1450> of a better <2909> testament <1242>.

 23  And they truly <3303> were many <4119> priests <2409>,

because <1223> they were not suffered <2967> to continue <3887>

by reason of death <2288>:

 24  But this <3588> [man], because <1223> he continueth <3306>

ever <0165>, hath <2192> an unchangeable <0531> priesthood

<2420>.

 25  Wherefore <3606> he is able <1410> also <2532> to save

<4982> them to the uttermost <3838> that come <4334> unto God

<2316> by him, seeing he ever <3842> liveth <2198> to make

<1793> intercession <1793> for them.

 26  For such <5108> an high <0749> priest <0749> became <4241>

us, [who is] holy <3741>, harmless <0172>, undefiled <0283>,

separate <5562> from sinners <0268>, and made <1096> higher

<5308> than the heavens <3772>;

 27  Who <3739> needeth <0318> not daily <2250>, as those <3588>

high <0749> priests <0749>, to offer <0399> up sacrifice <2378>,

first <4386> for his own <2398> sins <0266>, and then <1899> for

the people's <2992>: for this <5124> he did <4160> once <2178>,

when he offered up himself <1438>.

 28  For the law <3551> maketh <2525> men <0444> high <0749>

priests <0749> which have <2192> infirmity <0769>; but the word

<3056> of the oath <3728>, which <3588> was since <3326> the law

<3551>, [maketh] the Son <5207>, who is consecrated <5048> for

evermore <0165>.

Hebrews   8

 1. Now <1161> of the things which we have spoken <3004> [this

is] the sum <2774>: We have <2192> such <5108> an high <0749>

priest <0749>, who <3739> is set <2523> on <1722> the right

<1188> hand of the throne <2362> of the Majesty <3172> in the

heavens <3772>;

 2  A minister <3011> of the sanctuary <0039>, and of the true

<0228> tabernacle <4633>, which <3739> the Lord <2962> pitched

<4078>, and not man <0444>.

 3  For every <3956> high <0749> priest <0749> is ordained

<2525> to offer <4374> gifts <1435> and sacrifices <2378>:

wherefore <3606> [it is] of necessity <0316> that this <5126>

man have <2192> somewhat <5100> also <2532> to offer <4374>.

 4  For if <1487> he were on <1909> earth <1093>, he should not

be a priest <2409>, seeing that there are priests <2409> that

offer <4374> gifts <1435> according <2596> to the law <3551>:

 5  Who <3748> serve <3000> unto the example <5262> and shadow

<4639> of heavenly <2032> things, as Moses <3475> was admonished

<5537> of God <5537> when he was about <3195> to make <2005> the

tabernacle <4633>: for, See <3708>, saith <5346> he, [that] thou

make <4160> all <3956> things according <2596> to the pattern

<5179> shewed <1166> to thee in the mount <3735>.

 6. But now <3570> hath he obtained <5177> a more excellent

<1313> ministry <3009>, by how <3745> much <3745> also <2532> he

is the mediator <3316> of a better <2909> covenant <1242>, which

<3748> was established <3549> upon better <2909> promises <1860>.

 7  For if <1487> that first <4413> [covenant] had been <2258>

faultless <0273>, then should no <3756> place <5117> have been

sought <2212> for the second <1208>.

 8  For finding fault <3201> with them, he saith <3004>, Behold

<2400>, the days <2250> come <2064>, saith <3004> the Lord

<2962>, when I will make <4931> a new <2537> covenant <1242>

with the house <3624> of Israel <2474> and with the house <3624>

of Judah <2455>:

 9  Not according <2596> to the covenant <1242> that I made

<4160> with their fathers <3962> in the day <2250> when I took

<1949> them by the hand <5495> to lead <1806> them out of the

land <1093> of Egypt <0125>; because <3754> they continued

<1696> not in my covenant <1242>, and I regarded <0272> them not,

 saith <3004> the Lord <2962>.

 10  For this <3778> [is] the covenant <1242> that I will make

<1303> with the house <3624> of Israel <2474> after <3326> those

<1565> days <2250>, saith <3004> the Lord <2962>; I will put

<1325> my laws <3551> into <1519> their mind <1271>, and write

<1924> them in their hearts <2588>: and I will be to them a God

<2316>, and they shall be to me a people <2992>:

 11  And they shall not teach <1321> every <1538> man his

neighbour <4139>, and every <1538> man his brother <0080>,

saying <3004>, Know <1097> the Lord <2962>: for all <3956> shall

know <1492> me, from the least <3398> to the greatest <3173>.

 12  For I will be merciful <2436> to their unrighteousness

<0093>, and their sins <0266> and their iniquities <0458> will I

remember <3415> no <3364> more <2089>.

 13  In that he saith <3004>, A new <2537> [covenant], he hath

made <3822> the first <4413> old <3822>. Now <1161> that which

decayeth <3822> and waxeth <1095> old <1095> [is] ready <1451>

to vanish <0854> away.

Hebrews   9

 1. Then <3767> verily <3303> the first <4413> [covenant] had

<2192> also <2532> ordinances <1345> of divine <2999> service

<2999>, and a worldly <2886> sanctuary <0039>.

 2  For there was a tabernacle <4633> made <2680>; the first

<4413>, wherein <3757> [was] the candlestick <3087>, and the

table <5132>, and the shewbread <0740>; which <3748> is called

<3004> the sanctuary <0039>.

 3  And after <3326> the second <1208> veil <2665>, the

tabernacle <4633> which <3588> is called <3004> the Holiest

<0039> of all;

 4  Which had <2192> the golden <5552> censer <2369>, and the

ark <2787> of the covenant <1242> overlaid <4028> round <3840>

about <3840> with gold <5553>, wherein <3757> [was] the golden

<5552> pot <4713> that had <2192> manna <3131>, and Aaron's

<0002> rod <4464> that budded <0985>, and the tables <4109> of

the covenant <1242>;

 5  And over <5231> it the cherubims <5502> of glory <1391>

shadowing <2683> the mercyseat <2435>; of which <3739> we cannot

<1410> now <3568> speak <3004> particularly <3313>.

 6  Now <1161> when these <5130> things were thus <3779>

ordained <2680>, the priests <2409> went <1524> always <1275>

into <1519> the first <4413> tabernacle <4633>, accomplishing

<2005> the service <2999> [of God].

 7  But into <1519> the second <1208> [went] the high <0749>

priest <0749> alone <3441> once <0530> every year <1763>, not

without <5565> blood <0129>, which <3739> he offered <4374> for

himself <1438>, and [for] the errors <0051> of the people <2992>:

 8. The Holy <0040> Ghost <4151> this <5124> signifying <1213>,

that the way <3598> into the holiest <0039> of all was not yet

<2089> made <5319> manifest <5319>, while as the first <4413>

tabernacle <4633> was yet <2089> standing <4714>:

 9  Which <3748> [was] a figure <3850> for the time <2540> then

<3588> present <1764>, in which <3739> were offered both <5037>

gifts <1435> and sacrifices <2378>, that could <1410> not make

<5055> him that did <3000> the service <3000> perfect <5048>, as

pertaining to the conscience <4893>;

 10  [Which stood] only <3440> in meats <1033> and drinks <4188>,

 and divers <1313> washings <0909>, and carnal <4561> ordinances

<1345>, imposed <1945> [on them] until <3360> the time <2540> of

reformation <1357>.

 11  But Christ <5547> being come <3854> an high <0749> priest

<0749> of good <0018> things to come <3195>, by a greater <3187>

and more perfect <5046> tabernacle <4633>, not made <5499> with

hands <5499>, that is to say, not of this <5026> building <2937>;

 12  Neither <3761> by the blood <0129> of goats <5131> and

calves <3448>, but by his own <2398> blood <0129> he entered

<1525> in once <2178> into <1519> the holy <0039> place, having

obtained <2174> eternal <0166> redemption <3085> [for us].

 13  For if <1487> the blood <0129> of bulls <5022> and of goats

<5131>, and the ashes <4700> of an heifer <1151> sprinkling

<4472> the unclean <2840>, sanctifieth <0037> to the purifying

<2514> of the flesh <4561>:

 14  How <4214> much <4214> more <3123> shall the blood <0129>

of Christ <5547>, who <3739> through <1223> the eternal <0166>

Spirit <4151> offered <4374> himself <1438> without <0299> spot

<0299> to God <2316>, purge <2511> your <5216> conscience <4893>

from dead <3498> works <2041> to serve <3000> the living <2198>

God <2316>?

 15. And for this <5124> cause <1223> he is the mediator <3316>

of the new <2537> testament <1242>, that by means <1096> of

death <2288>, for the redemption <0629> of the transgressions

<3847> [that were] under <1909> the first <4413> testament

<1242>, they which are called <2564> might receive <2983> the

promise <1860> of eternal <0166> inheritance <2817>.

 16  For where <3699> a testament <1242> [is], there must also

of necessity <0318> be the death <2288> of the testator <1303>.

 17  For a testament <1242> [is] of force <0949> after men are

dead <3498>: otherwise <1893> it is of no <3361> strength <2480>

at <3379> all <4219> while <3753> the testator <1303> liveth

<2198>.

 18  Whereupon <3606> neither <3761> the first <4413>

[testament] was dedicated <1457> without <5565> blood <0129>.

 19  For when Moses <3475> had spoken <2980> every <3956>

precept <1785> to all <3956> the people <2992> according <2596>

to the law <3551>, he took <2983> the blood <0129> of calves

<3448> and of goats <5131>, with water <5203>, and scarlet

<2847> wool <2053>, and hyssop <5301>, and sprinkled <4472> both

<5037> the book <0975>, and all <3956> the people <2992>,

 20  Saying <3004>, This <5124> [is] the blood <0129> of the

testament <1242> which <3739> God <2316> hath enjoined <1781>

unto you.

 21  Moreover <1161> he sprinkled <4472> with blood <0129> both

<2532> the tabernacle <4633>, and all <3956> the vessels <4632>

of the ministry <3009>.

 22  And almost <4975> all <3956> things are by the law <3551>

purged <2511> with blood <0129>; and without <5565> shedding

<0130> of blood <0130> is no <3756> remission <0859>.

 23. [It was] therefore <3767> necessary <0318> that the

patterns <5262> of things in the heavens <3772> should be

purified <2511> with these <5125>; but the heavenly <2032>

things themselves <0846> with better <2909> sacrifices <2378>

than <3844> these <5025>.

 24  For Christ <5547> is not entered <1525> into <1519> the

holy <0039> places made <5499> with hands <5499>, [which are]

the figures <0499> of the true <0228>; but into <1519> heaven

<3772> itself <0846>, now <3568> to appear <1718> in the

presence <4383> of God <2316> for us:

 25  Nor <3761> yet that he should offer <4374> himself <1438>

often <4178>, as the high <0749> priest <0749> entereth <1535>

into <1519> the holy <0039> place every <2596> year <1763> with

blood <0129> of others <0245>;

 26  For then must <1163> he often <4178> have suffered <3958>

since <0575> the foundation <2602> of the world <2889>: but now

<3568> once <0530> in the end <4930> of the world <0165> hath he

appeared <5319> to put <0115> away <0115> sin <0266> by the

sacrifice <2378> of himself <0848>.

 27  And as it is appointed <0606> unto men <0444> once <0530>

to die <0599>, but after <3326> this <5124> the judgment <2920>:

 28  So <3779> Christ <5547> was once <0530> offered <4374> to

bear <0399> the sins <0266> of many <4183>; and unto them that

look <0553> for him shall he appear <3700> the second <1208>

time without <5565> sin <0266> unto salvation <4991>.

Hebrews  10

 1. For the law <3551> having <2192> a shadow <4639> of good

<0018> things to come <3195>, [and] not the very <0846> image

<1504> of the things <4229>, can <1410> never <3763> with those

<0846> sacrifices <2378> which <3739> they offered <4374> year

<1763> by year <1763> continually <1336> make <5055> the comers

<4334> thereunto <4334> perfect <5048>.

 2  For then would they not have ceased <3973> to be offered

<4374>? because <1223> that the worshippers <3000> once <0530>

purged <2508> should have <2192> had <2192> no <3367> more

<2089> conscience <4893> of sins <0266>.

 3  But in those <0846> [sacrifices there is] a remembrance

<0364> again <0364> [made] of sins <0266> every <2596> year

<1763>.

 4  For [it is] not possible <0102> that the blood <0129> of

bulls <5022> and of goats <5131> should take <0851> away <0851>

sins <0266>.

 5  Wherefore <1352> when he cometh into <1519> the world <2889>,

 he saith <3004>, Sacrifice <2378> and offering <4376> thou

wouldest <2309> not, but a body <4983> hast thou prepared <2675>

me:

 6  In burnt <3646> offerings <3646> and [sacrifices] for sin

<0266> thou hast had no <3756> pleasure <2106>.

 7. Then <5119> said <2036> I, Lo <2400>, I come <2240> (in the

volume <2777> of the book <0975> it is written <1125> of me,) to

do <4160> thy will <2307>, O God <2316>.

 8  Above <0511> when he said <3004>, Sacrifice <2378> and

offering <4376> and burnt <3646> offerings <3646> and [offering]

for sin <0266> thou wouldest <2309> not, neither <3761> hadst

pleasure <2106> [therein]; which <3748> are offered <4374> by

the law <3551>;

 9  Then <5119> said <2046> he, Lo <2400>, I come <2240> to do

<4160> thy will <2307>, O God <2316>. He taketh <0337> away

<0337> the first <4413>, that he may establish <2476> the second

<1208>.

 10  By the which <3739> will <2307> we are sanctified <0037>

through <1223> the offering <4376> of the body <4983> of Jesus

<2424> Christ <5547> once <2178> [for all <2178>].

 11  And every <3956> priest <2409> standeth <2476> daily <2250>

ministering <3008> and offering <4374> oftentimes <4178> the

same <0846> sacrifices <2378>, which <3748> can <1410> never

<3763> take <4014> away <4014> sins <0266>:

 12  But this <3778> man, after he had offered <4374> one <3391>

sacrifice <2378> for sins <0266> for ever <1336>, sat <2523>

down <2523> on <1722> the right <1188> hand of God <2316>;

 13  From henceforth <3063> expecting <1551> till <2193> his

enemies <2190> be made <5087> his footstool <5286>.

 14  For by one <3391> offering <4376> he hath perfected <5048>

for ever <1336> them that are sanctified <0037>.

 15  [Whereof] the Holy <0040> Ghost <4151> also <2532> is a

witness <3140> to us: for after <3326> that he had said <4280>

before <4280>,

 16  This <3778> [is] the covenant <1242> that I will make

<1303> with them after <3326> those <1565> days <2250>, saith

<3004> the Lord <2962>, I will put <1325> my laws <3551> into

<1909> their hearts <2588>, and in their minds <1271> will I

write <1924> them;

 17  And their sins <0266> and iniquities <0458> will I remember

<3415> no <3361> more <2089>.

 18  Now <1161> where <3699> remission <0859> of these <5130>

[is, there is] no <3765> more <2089> offering <4376> for sin

<0266>.

 19. Having <2192> therefore <3767>, brethren <0080>, boldness

<3954> to enter <1529> into the holiest <0039> by the blood

<0129> of Jesus <2424>,

 20  By a new <4372> and living <2198> way <3598>, which <3739>

he hath consecrated <1457> for us, through <1223> the veil

<2665>, that is to say, his flesh <4561>;

 21  And [having] an high <3173> priest <2409> over <1909> the

house <3624> of God <2316>;

 22  Let us draw <4334> near <4334> with a true <0227> heart

<2588> in full <4136> assurance <4136> of faith <4102>, having

our hearts <2588> sprinkled <4472> from an evil <4190>

conscience <4893>, and our bodies <4983> washed <3068> with pure

<2513> water <5203>.

 23  Let us hold <2722> fast <2722> the profession <3671> of

[our] faith <1680> without <0186> wavering <0186>; (for he [is]

faithful <4103> that promised <1861>;)

 24  And let us consider <2657> one <0240> another <0240> to

provoke <3948> unto love <0026> and to good <2570> works <2041>:

 25  Not forsaking <1459> the assembling <1997> of ourselves

<1438> together <1997>, as the manner <1485> of some <5100> [is];

 but exhorting <3870> [one another]: and so <5118> much <5118>

the more <3123>, as ye see <0991> the day <2250> approaching

<1448>.

 26  For if we sin <0264> wilfully <1596> after <3326> that we

have received <2983> the knowledge <1922> of the truth <0225>,

there remaineth <0620> no <3765> more <2089> sacrifice <2378>

for sins <0266>,

 27  But a certain <5100> fearful <5398> looking <1561> for of

judgment <2920> and fiery <4442> indignation <2205>, which shall

devour <2068> the adversaries <5227>.

 28  He that despised <0114> Moses <3475>' law <3551> died

<0599> without <5565> mercy <3628> under <1909> two <1417> or

<2228> three <5140> witnesses <3144>:

 29  Of how <4214> much <4214> sorer <5501> punishment <5098>,

suppose <1380> ye, shall he be thought worthy <0515>, who <3588>

hath trodden <2662> under <2662> foot <2662> the Son <5207> of

God <2316>, and hath counted <2233> the blood <0129> of the

covenant <1242>, wherewith <3739> he was sanctified <0037>, an

unholy <2839> thing, and hath done <1796> despite <1796> unto

the Spirit <4151> of grace <5485>?

 30  For we know <1492> him that hath said <2036>, Vengeance

<1557> [belongeth] unto me, I will recompense <0467>, saith

<3004> the Lord <2962>. And again <3825>, The Lord <2962> shall

judge <2919> his people <2992>.

 31  [It is] a fearful <5398> thing to fall <1706> into <1519>

the hands <5495> of the living <2198> God <2316>.

 32  But call <0363> to remembrance <0363> the former <4386>

days <2250>, in which <3739>, after ye were illuminated <5461>,

ye endured <5278> a great <4183> fight <0119> of afflictions

<3804>;

 33  Partly <3303>, whilst ye were made <2301> a gazingstock

<2301> both <5037> by reproaches <3680> and afflictions <2347>;

and partly <1161>, whilst ye became <1096> companions <2844> of

them that were so <3779> used <0390>.

 34  For ye had compassion <4834> of me in my bonds <1199>, and

took <4327> joyfully <5479> the spoiling <0724> of your <5216>

goods <5224>, knowing <1097> in yourselves <1438> that ye have

<2192> in heaven <3772> a better <2909> and an enduring <3306>

substance <5223>.

 35  Cast <0577> not away <0577> therefore <3767> your <5216>

confidence <3954>, which <3748> hath <2192> great <3173>

recompence <3405> of reward <3405>.

 36  For ye have need <5532> of patience <5281>, that, after ye

have done <4160> the will <2307> of God <2316>, ye might receive

<2865> the promise <1860>.

 37  For yet <2089> a little <3397> while <3397>, and he that

shall come <2064> will come <2240>, and will not tarry <5549>.

 38  Now <1161> the just <1342> shall live <2198> by faith

<4102>: but if <1437> [any man] draw <5288> back <5288>, my soul

<5590> shall have no <3756> pleasure <2106> in him.

 39  But we are not of them who draw <5289> back <5289> unto

perdition <0684>; but of them that believe <4102> to the saving

<4047> of the soul <5590>.

Hebrews  11

 1. Now <1161> faith <4102> is the substance <5287> of things

<4229> hoped <1679> for, the evidence <1650> of things not seen

<0991>.

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

<3140>.

 3  Through faith <4102> we understand <3539> that the worlds

<0165> were framed <2675> by the word <4487> of God <2316>, so

<1519> that things which <3588> are seen <0991> were not made

<1096> of things which do appear <5316>.

 4. By faith <4102> Abel <0006> offered <4374> unto God <2316> a

more excellent <4119> sacrifice <2378> than <3844> Cain <2535>,

by which <3739> he obtained <3140> witness <3140> that he was

righteous <1342>, God <2316> testifying <3140> of his gifts

<1435>: and by it he being dead <0599> yet <2089> speaketh

<2980>.

 5  By faith <4102> Enoch <1802> was translated <3346> that he

should not see <1492> death <2288>; and was not found <2147>,

because <1360> God <2316> had translated <3346> him: for before

<4253> his translation <3331> he had this testimony <3140>, that

he pleased <2100> God <2316>.

 6  But without <5565> faith <4102> [it is] impossible <0102> to

please <2100> [him]: for he that cometh <4334> to God <2316>

must <1163> believe <4100> that he is, and [that] he is a

rewarder <3406> of them that diligently <1567> seek <1567> him.

 7  By faith <4102> Noah <3575>, being warned <5537> of God of

things not seen <0991> as yet <3369>, moved <2125> with fear

<2125>, prepared <2680> an ark <2787> to the saving <4991> of

his house <3624>; by the which <3739> he condemned <2632> the

world <2889>, and became <1096> heir <2818> of the righteousness

<1343> which is by faith <4102>.

 8  By faith <4102> Abraham <11>, when he was called <2564> to

go <1831> out into <1519> a place <5117> which <3739> he should

<3195> after <3195> receive <2983> for an inheritance <2817>,

obeyed <5219>; and he went <1831> out, not knowing <1987>

whither <4226> he went <2064>.

 9  By faith <4102> he sojourned <3939> in the land <1093> of

promise <1860>, as [in] a strange <0245> country, dwelling

<2730> in tabernacles <4633> with Isaac <2464> and Jacob <2384>,

the heirs <4789> with him of the same promise <1860>:

 10  For he looked <1551> for a city <4172> which hath <2192>

foundations <2310>, whose <3739> builder <5079> and maker <1217>

[is] God <2316>.

 11  Through faith <4102> also <2532> Sara <4564> herself <0846>

received <2983> strength <1411> to conceive <2602> seed <4690>,

and was delivered <5088> of a child <5088> when she was past

<3844> age <2244>, because <1893> she judged <2233> him faithful

<4103> who had promised <1861>.

 12  Therefore <1352> sprang <1080> there even <2532> of one

<1520>, and him as good as dead <3499>, [so many] as the stars

<0798> of the sky <3772> in multitude <4128>, and as the sand

<0285> which <3588> is by the sea <2281> shore <5491>

innumerable <0382>.

 13  These <3778> all <3956> died <0599> in faith <4102>, not

having received <2983> the promises <1860>, but having seen

<1492> them afar <4207> off, and were persuaded <3982> of [them],

 and embraced <0782> [them], and confessed <3670> that they were

strangers <3581> and pilgrims <3927> on <1909> the earth <1093>.

 14  For they that say <3004> such <5108> things declare <1718>

plainly <1718> that they seek <1934> a country <3968>.

 15  And truly <3303>, if <1487> they had been mindful <3421> of

that [country] from whence <3739> they came <1831> out, they

might have <2192> had <2192> opportunity <2540> to have returned

<0344>.

 16  But now <3570> they desire <3713> a better <2909> [country],

 that is, an heavenly <2032>: wherefore <1352> God <2316> is not

ashamed <1870> to be called <1941> their God <2316>: for he hath

prepared <2090> for them a city <4172>.

 17  By faith <4102> Abraham <11>, when he was tried <3985>,

offered <4374> up Isaac <2464>: and he that had received <0324>

the promises <1860> offered <4374> up his only <3439> begotten

<3439> [son],

 18  Of whom <3739> it was said <2980>, That in Isaac <2464>

shall thy seed <4690> be called <2564>:

 19  Accounting <3049> that God <2316> [was] able <1415> to

raise <1453> [him] up, even <2532> from the dead <3498>; from

whence <3606> also <2532> he received <2865> him in a figure

<3850>.

 20  By faith <4102> Isaac <2464> blessed <2127> Jacob <2384>

and Esau <2269> concerning <4012> things to come <3195>.

 21  By faith <4102> Jacob <2384>, when he was a dying <0599>,

blessed <2127> both <1538> the sons <5207> of Joseph <2501>; and

worshipped <4352>, [leaning] upon the top <0206> of his staff

<4464>.

 22  By faith <4102> Joseph <2501>, when he died <5053>, made

<3421> mention <3421> of the departing <1841> of the children

<5027> of Israel <2474>; and gave commandment <1781> concerning

<4012> his bones <3747>.

 23  By faith <4102> Moses <3475>, when he was born <1080>, was

hid <2928> three <5150> months <5150> of his parents <3962>,

because <1360> they saw <1492> [he was] a proper <0791> child

<3813>; and they were not afraid <5399> of the king's <0935>

commandment <1297>.

 24  By faith <4102> Moses <3475>, when he was come <1096> to

years <3173>, refused <0720> to be called <3004> the son <5207>

of Pharaoh's <5328> daughter <2364>;

 25  Choosing <0138> rather <3123> to suffer <4778> affliction

<4797> with the people <2992> of God <2316>, than <2228> to

enjoy <0619> the pleasures of sin <0266> for a season <2340>;

 26  Esteeming <2233> the reproach <3680> of Christ <5547>

greater <3187> riches <4149> than the treasures <2344> in Egypt

<0125>: for he had respect <0578> unto the recompence <3405> of

the reward <3405>.

 27  By faith <4102> he forsook <2641> Egypt <0125>, not fearing

<5399> the wrath <2372> of the king <0935>: for he endured

<2594>, as seeing <3708> him who is invisible <0517>.

 28  Through faith <4102> he kept <4160> the passover <3957>,

and the sprinkling <4378> of blood <0129>, lest <3361> he that

destroyed <3645> the firstborn <4416> should touch <2345> them.

 29  By faith <4102> they passed <1224> through <1224> the Red

<2281> sea <2281> as by dry <3584> [land]: which <3739> the

Egyptians <0124> assaying <2983> to do were drowned <2666>.

 30  By faith <4102> the walls <5038> of Jericho <2410> fell

<4098> down, after they were compassed <2944> about <2944> seven

<2033> days <2250>.

 31  By faith <4102> the harlot <4204> Rahab <4460> perished

<4881> not with them that believed <0544> not, when she had

received <1209> the spies <2685> with peace <1515>.

 32. And what <5101> shall I more <2089> say <3004>? for the

time <5550> would fail <1952> me to tell <1334> of Gedeon <1066>,

 and [of] Barak <0913>, and [of] Samson <4546>, and [of]

Jephthae <2422>; [of] David <1138> also <5037>, and Samuel

<4545>, and [of] the prophets <4396>:

 33  Who <3739> through <1223> faith <4102> subdued <2610>

kingdoms <0932>, wrought <2038> righteousness <1343>, obtained

<2013> promises <1860>, stopped <5420> the mouths <4750> of

lions <3023>,

 34  Quenched <4570> the violence <1411> of fire <4442>, escaped

<5343> the edge <4750> of the sword <3162>, out of weakness

<0769> were made <1743> strong <1743>, waxed <1096> valiant

<2478> in fight <4171>, turned <2827> to flight the armies

<3925> of the aliens <0245>.

 35  Women <1135> received <2983> their dead <3498> raised

<0386> to life again <0386>: and others <0243> were tortured

<5178>, not accepting <4327> deliverance <0629>; that they might

obtain <5177> a better <2909> resurrection <0386>:

 36  And others <2087> had <2983> trial <3984> of [cruel]

mockings <1701> and scourgings <3148>, yea <1161>, moreover

<1161> of bonds <1199> and imprisonment <5438>:

 37  They were stoned <3034>, they were sawn <4249> asunder

<4249>, were tempted <3985>, were slain <0599> with the sword

<3162>: they wandered <4022> about <4022> in sheepskins <3374>

and goatskins <0122>; being destitute <5302>, afflicted <2346>,

tormented <2558>;

 38  (Of whom <3739> the world <2889> was not worthy <0514>:)

they wandered <4105> in deserts <2047>, and [in] mountains

<3735>, and [in] dens <4693> and caves <3692> of the earth

<1093>.

 39  And these <3778> all <3956>, having obtained <3140> a good

report <3140> through <1223> faith <4102>, received <2865> not

the promise <1860>:

 40  God <2316> having provided <4265> some <5100> better <2909>

thing for us, that they without <5565> us should not be made

<5048> perfect <5048>.

Hebrews  12

 1. Wherefore <5105> seeing we also <2532> are compassed <4029>

about <4029> with so <5118> great <5118> a cloud <3509> of

witnesses <3144>, let us lay <0659> aside <0659> every <3956>

weight <3591>, and the sin <0266> which doth so easily beset

<2139> [us], and let us run <5143> with patience <5281> the race

<0073> that is set <4295> before <4295> us,

 2  Looking <0872> unto Jesus <2424> the author <0747> and

finisher <5047> of [our] faith <4102>; who <3739> for the joy

<5479> that was set <4295> before <4295> him endured <5278> the

cross <4716>, despising <2706> the shame <0152>, and is set

<2523> down <2523> at <1722> the right <1188> hand of the throne

<2362> of God <2316>.

 3  For consider <0357> him that endured <5278> such <5108>

contradiction <0485> of sinners <0268> against <1519> himself

<0848>, lest <3361> ye be wearied <2577> and faint <1590> in

your <5216> minds <5590>.

 4. Ye have not yet <3768> resisted <0478> unto blood <0129>,

striving <0464> against <4314> sin <0266>.

 5  And ye have forgotten <1585> the exhortation <3874> which

<3748> speaketh <1256> unto you as unto children <5027>, My son

<5207>, despise <3643> not thou the chastening <3809> of the

Lord <2962>, nor <3366> faint <1590> when thou art rebuked

<1651> of him:

 6  For whom <3739> the Lord <2962> loveth <0025> he chasteneth

<3811>, and scourgeth <3146> every <3956> son <5207> whom <3739>

he receiveth <3858>.

 7  If <1487> ye endure <5278> chastening <3809>, God <2316>

dealeth <4374> with you as with sons <5207>; for what <5101> son

<5207> is he whom <3739> the father <3962> chasteneth <3811> not?

 8  But if <1487> ye be without <5565> chastisement <3809>,

whereof <3739> all <3956> are partakers <3353>, then <0686> are

ye bastards <3541>, and not sons <5207>.

 9  Furthermore <1534> we have <2192> had <2192> fathers <3962>

of our flesh <4561> which corrected <3810> [us], and we gave

<1788> [them] reverence <1788>: shall we not much <4183> rather

<3123> be in subjection <5293> unto the Father <3962> of spirits

<4151>, and live <2198>?

 10  For they verily <3303> for a few <3641> days <2250>

chastened <3811> [us] after <2596> their own <0848> pleasure

<1380>; but he for [our] profit <4851>, that [we] might be

partakers <3335> of his holiness <0041>.

 11  Now <1161> no <3756> chastening <3809> for the present

<3918> seemeth <1380> to be joyous <5479>, but grievous <3077>:

nevertheless <1161> afterward <5305> it yieldeth <0591> the

peaceable <1516> fruit <2590> of righteousness <1343> unto them

which are exercised <1128> thereby <0846>.

 12  Wherefore <1352> lift <0461> up the hands <5495> which hang

<3935> down <3935>, and the feeble <3886> knees <1119>;

 13  And make <4160> straight <3717> paths <5163> for your

<5216> feet <4228>, lest <3361> that which is lame <5560> be

turned <1624> out of the way <1624>; but let it rather <3123> be

healed <2390>.

 14  Follow <1377> peace <1515> with all <3956> [men], and

holiness <0038>, without <5565> which <3739> no <3762> man

<3762> shall see <3700> the Lord <2962>:

 15  Looking <1983> diligently lest <3361> any <5100> man fail

<5302> of the grace <5485> of God <2316>; lest <3361> any <5100>

root <4491> of bitterness <4088> springing <5453> up trouble

<1776> [you], and thereby <5026> many <4183> be defiled <3392>;

 16  Lest there [be] any <5100> fornicator <4205>, or <2228>

profane <0952> person, as Esau <2269>, who <3739> for one <3391>

morsel <1035> of meat <1035> sold <0591> his birthright <4415>.

 17  For ye know <2467> how <3754> that afterward <3347>, when

he would <2309> have inherited <2816> the blessing <2129>, he

was rejected <0593>: for he found <2147> no <3756> place <5117>

of repentance <3341>, though <2539> he sought <1567> it

carefully <1567> with tears <1144>.

 18. For ye are not come <4334> unto the mount <3735> that might

be touched <5584>, and that burned <2545> with fire <4442>, nor

<2532> unto blackness <1105>, and darkness <4655>, and tempest

<2366>,

 19  And the sound <2279> of a trumpet <4536>, and the voice

<5456> of words <4487>; which <3739> [voice] they that heard

<0191> intreated <3868> that the word <3056> should not be

spoken <4369> to them any <2089> more <4369>:

 20  (For they could not endure <5342> that which was commanded

<1291>, And if so much <2579> as a beast <2342> touch <2345> the

mountain <3735>, it shall be stoned <3036>, or <2228> thrust

<2700> through <2700> with a dart <1002>:

 21  And so <3779> terrible <5398> was the sight <5324>, [that]

Moses <3475> said <2036>, I exceedingly <1630> fear <1510> and

quake <1790>:)

 22  But ye are come <4334> unto mount <3735> Sion <4622>, and

unto the city <4172> of the living <2198> God <2316>, the

heavenly <2032> Jerusalem <2419>, and to an innumerable <3461>

company <3461> of angels <0032>,

 23  To the general assembly <3831> and church <1577> of the

firstborn <4416>, which are written <0583> in heaven <3772>, and

to God <2316> the Judge <2923> of all <3956>, and to the spirits

<4151> of just <1342> men made <5048> perfect <5048>,

 24  And to Jesus <2424> the mediator <3316> of the new <3501>

covenant <1242>, and to the blood <0129> of sprinkling <4473>,

that speaketh <2980> better <2909> things than [that of] Abel

<0006>.

 25  See <0991> that ye refuse <3868> not him that speaketh

<2980>. For if <1487> they escaped <5343> not who refused <3868>

him that spake <5537> on <1909> earth <1093>, much <4183> more

<3123> [shall not] we [escape <5343>], if we turn <0654> away

<0654> from him that [speaketh] from heaven <3772>:

 26  Whose <3739> voice <5456> then <5119> shook <4531> the

earth <1093>: but now <3568> he hath promised <1861>, saying

<3004>, Yet <2089> once <0530> more I shake <4579> not the earth

<1093> only <3440>, but also <2532> heaven <3772>.

 27  And this <3588> [word], Yet <2089> once <0530> more,

signifieth <1213> the removing <3331> of those <3588> things

that are shaken <4531>, as of things that are made <4160>, that

those <3588> things which cannot <3361> be shaken <4531> may

remain <3306>.

 28  Wherefore <1352> we receiving <3880> a kingdom <0932> which

cannot <0761> be moved <0761>, let us have <2192> grace <5485>,

whereby <3739> we may serve <3000> God <2316> acceptably <2102>

with reverence <0127> and godly fear <2124>:

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

Hebrews  13

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

 2  Be not forgetful <1950> to entertain <5381> strangers <5381>:

 for thereby <5026> some <5100> have entertained <3579> angels

<0032> unawares <2990>.

 3  Remember <3403> them that are in bonds <1198>, as bound

<4887> with them; [and] them which suffer <2558> adversity

<2558>, as being <5607> yourselves <0846> also <2532> in the

body <4983>.

 4  Marriage <1062> [is] honourable <5093> in all <3956>, and

the bed <2845> undefiled <0283>: but whoremongers <4205> and

adulterers <3432> God <2316> will judge <2919>.

 5  [Let your <3588>] conversation <5158> [be] without <0866>

covetousness <0866>; [and be] content <0714> with such <3588>

things as ye have <3918>: for he hath said <2046>, I will never

<3364> leave <0447> thee, nor <3364> forsake <1459> thee.

 6  So <5620> that we may boldly <2292> say <3004>, The Lord

<2962> [is] my helper <0998>, and I will not fear <5399> what

<5101> man <0444> shall do unto me.

 7  Remember <3421> them which have the rule <2233> over you,

who <3748> have spoken <2980> unto you the word <3056> of God

<2316>: whose <3739> faith <4102> follow <3401>, considering

<0333> the end <1545> of [their] conversation <0391>.

 8  Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> the same <0846> yesterday <5504>,

and to day <4594>, and for ever <0165>.

 9  Be not carried <4064> about <4064> with divers <4164> and

strange <3581> doctrines <1322>. For [it is] a good <2570> thing

that the heart <2588> be established <0950> with grace <5485>;

not with meats <1033>, which <3739> have not profited <5623>

them that have been occupied <4043> therein <3639>.

 10  We have <2192> an altar <2379>, whereof <3739> they have

<2192> no <3756> right <1849> to eat <5315> which serve <3000>

the tabernacle <4633>.

 11  For the bodies <4983> of those <5130> beasts <2226>, whose

<3739> blood <0129> is brought <1533> into <1519> the sanctuary

<0039> by the high <0749> priest <0749> for sin <0266>, are

burned <2618> without <1854> the camp <3925>.

 12  Wherefore <1352> Jesus <2424> also <2532>, that he might

sanctify <0037> the people <2992> with his own <2398> blood

<0129>, suffered <3958> without <1854> the gate <4439>.

 13  Let us go <1831> forth <1831> therefore <5106> unto him

without <1854> the camp <3925>, bearing <5342> his reproach

<3680>.

 14  For here <5602> have <2192> we no <3756> continuing <3306>

city <4172>, but we seek <1934> one to come <3195>.

 15  By him therefore <3767> let us offer <0399> the sacrifice

<2378> of praise <0133> to God <2316> continually <1275>, that

is, the fruit <2590> of [our] lips <5491> giving thanks <3670>

to his name <3686>.
