| 1:2 |
in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom He also He made the world. |
| 1:4 |
having become asso much better than the angels, asto the extent that He has inherited a more excellent name than they. |
| 1:5 |
For to which of the angels did He ever say, “You are My Son, Today I have begottenfathered You”? And again, “I will be a Father to Him And He shallwill be a Son to Me”? |
| 1:7 |
And ofregarding the angels He says, “WhoHe makes His angels winds, And His ministers a flame of fire.” |
| 1:8 |
But ofregarding the Son He says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, And the righteous scepter of righteousness is the scepter of His kingdom. |
| 1:9 |
You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of gladnessjoy above Your companions.” |
| 1:11 |
They will perish, but You remain; And they all will becomewear oldout like a garment, |
| 1:12 |
And like a mantlerobe You will roll them up; Like a garment they will also be changed. But You are the same, And Your years will not come to an end.” |
| 1:14 |
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to renderprovide service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation? |
| 2:2 |
For if the word spoken through angels proved unalterable, and every transgressionviolation and act of disobedience received a just penaltypunishment, |
| 2:3 |
how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation? After it was at the first spoken through the Lord, it was confirmed to us by those who heard, |
| 2:4 |
God also testifying with them, both by signs and wonders, and by various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His own will. |
| 2:5 |
For He did not subject to angels the world to come, concerningabout which we are speaking. |
| 2:6 |
But onesomeone has testified somewhere, saying, “What is man, that You rememberthink of him? Or thea son of man, that You are concerned about him? |
| 2:7 |
You have made him for a little while lower than the angels; You have crowned him with glory and honor, And have appointed him over the works of Your hands; |
| 2:8 |
You have put alleverything things in subjection under his feet.” For in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we do not yet see all things subjected to him. |
| 2:9 |
But we do see Him who was made for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, because of theHis suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone. |
| 2:10 |
For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to perfect the authororiginator of their salvation through sufferings. |
| 2:11 |
For both He who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one Father; for whichthis reason He is not ashamed to call them brethrenbrothers and sisters, |
| 2:12 |
saying, “I will proclaim Your name to My brethrenbrothers, In the midst of the congregationassembly I will sing Your praise.” |
| 2:14 |
Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, so that through death He might renderdestroy powerlessthe himone who hadhas the power of death, that is, the devil, |
| 2:15 |
and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives. |
| 2:16 |
For assuredlyclearly He does not give help to angels, but He gives help to the descendantdescendants of Abraham. |
| 2:17 |
Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethrenbrothers in all things, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. |
| 3:1 |
Therefore, holy brethrenbrothers and sisters, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession: Jesus; |
| 3:5 |
Now Moses was faithful in all HisGod’s house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later; |
| 3:6 |
but Christ was faithful as a Son over His house—whose house we are, if we hold fastfirmly to our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end. |
| 3:8 |
Do not harden your hearts as when they provoked Me, As inon the day of trial in the wilderness, |
| 3:9 |
Where your fathers triedput Me byto testingthe Metest, And saw My works for forty years. |
| 3:11 |
As I swore in My wrathanger, ‘They certainly shall not enter My rest.’ ” |
| 3:12 |
Take care, brethrenbrothers and sisters, that there will not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God. |
| 3:13 |
But encourage one another dayevery after day, as long as it is still called “Todaytoday,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. |
| 3:14 |
For we have become partakers of Christ, if we holdkeep fast the beginning of our assurancecommitment firm until the end, |
| 3:17 |
And with whom was He angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose dead bodies fell in the wilderness? |
| 3:19 |
SoAnd so we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief. |
| 4:1 |
Therefore, letwe usmust fear if, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short of it. |
| 4:2 |
For indeed we have had good news preached to us, just as they also did; but the word they heard did not profitbenefit them, because itthey waswere not united bywith faith in those who heardlistened with faith. |
| 4:3 |
For we who have believed enter that rest, just as He has said, “As I swore in My wrathanger, They certainly shall not enter My rest,” although His works were finished from the foundation of the world. |
| 4:5 |
and again in this passage, “They certainly shall not enter My rest.” |
| 4:6 |
Therefore, since it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerlypreviously had good news preached to them failed to enter because of disobedience, |
| 4:7 |
He again fixessets a certain day, “Today,” saying through David after so long a time just as has been said before, “Today if you hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts.” |
| 4:9 |
SoConsequently, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. |
| 4:11 |
Therefore let’s usmake beevery diligenteffort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall, throughby following the same example of disobedience. |
| 4:12 |
For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, andeven piercingpenetrating as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. |
| 4:13 |
And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him withto whom we havemust to doanswer. |
| 4:14 |
Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let’s us hold fastfirmly to our confession. |
| 4:15 |
For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things just as we are, yet without sin. |
| 4:16 |
Therefore let’s usapproach draw near with confidence to the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace tofor help inat the time of our need. |
| 5:1 |
For every high priest taken from among men is appointed on behalf of menpeople in things pertaining to God, in order to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins; |
| 5:2 |
he can deal gently with the ignorant and misguided, since he himself also is besetclothed within weakness; |
| 5:3 |
and because of it he is obligated to offer sacrifices for sins for himself, as well as for the people, so also for himself. |
| 5:4 |
And no one takes the honor tofor himself, but receives it when he is called by God, evenjust as Aaron also was. |
| 5:5 |
So alsotoo Christ did not glorify Himself soin asbecoming to become a high priest, but it was He who said to Him, “You are My Son, Today I have begottenfathered You”; |
| 5:6 |
just as He also says also in another passage, “You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek.” |
| 5:7 |
In the days of His fleshhumanity, He offered up both prayers and supplicationspleas with loud crying and tears to the One able to save Him from death, and He was heard because of His pietydevout behavior. |
| 5:9 |
And having been made perfectperfected, He became tothe source of eternal salvation for all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation, |
| 5:10 |
being designated by God as aHigh highPriest priest according to the order of Melchizedek. |
| 5:11 |
Concerning him we have much to say, and it is harddifficult to explain, since you have become dullpoor of hearinglisteners. |
| 5:12 |
For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oraclesactual words of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food. |
| 5:13 |
For everyone who partakes only of milk is notunacquainted accustomedwith to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant. |
| 5:14 |
But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discerndistinguish between good and evil. |
| 6:2 |
of instruction about washings and laying on of hands, and about the resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment. |
| 6:4 |
For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, |
| 6:6 |
and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renewrestore them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame. |
| 6:7 |
For ground that drinks the rain which often falls on it and bringsproduces forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from God; |
| 6:9 |
But, beloved, we are convinced of better things concerningregarding you, and things that accompany salvation, even though we are speaking in this way. |
| 6:10 |
For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love which you have shown toward His name, inby having ministeredserved and inby still ministeringserving to the saints. |
| 6:11 |
And we desire that each one of you showdemonstrate the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope until the end, |
| 6:12 |
so that you will not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patienceendurance inherit the promises. |
| 6:13 |
For when God made the promise to Abraham, since He could swear an oath by no one greater, He swore by Himself, |
| 6:14 |
saying, “indeed I will surelygreatly bless you and I will surelygreatly multiply you.” |
| 6:16 |
For menpeople swear an oath by one greater than themselves, and with them an oath givenserving as confirmation is an end of every dispute. |
| 6:17 |
In the same way God, desiring even more to showdemonstrate to the heirs of the promise the unchangeablenessfact ofthat His purpose is unchangeable, interposedconfirmed it with an oath, |
| 6:18 |
so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold offirmly to the hope set before us. |
| 6:19 |
This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfastreliable and one which enters within the veil, |
| 7:2 |
to whom also Abraham apportioned a tenth part of all the spoils, was first of all, by the translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then also king of Salem, which is king of peace. |
| 7:5 |
And those indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest’s office have a commandment in the Law to collect a tenth from the people, that is, from their brethrencountrymen, although thesethey are descended from Abraham. |
| 7:7 |
But without any dispute the lesser person is blessed by the greater. |
| 7:9 |
And, so to speak, through Abraham even Levi, who received tithes, has paid tithes, |
| 7:10 |
for he was still in the loins of his fatherforefather when Melchizedek met him. |
| 7:11 |
NowSo if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it the people received the Law), what further need was there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be designated according to the order of Aaron? |
| 7:13 |
For the one concerningabout whom these things are spokensaid belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar. |
| 7:14 |
For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, a tribe with reference to which Moses spokesaid nothing concerning priests. |
| 7:16 |
who has become sucha priest not on the basis of a law of physical requirement, but according to the power of an indestructible life. |
| 7:18 |
For, on the one hand, there is athe settingnullification aside of a former commandment because of its weakness and uselessness |
| 7:19 |
(for the Law made nothing perfect),; and on the other hand, there is athe bringingintroduction in of a better hope, through which we drawcome near to God. |
| 7:20 |
And inasmuchto asthe extent that it was not without an oath |
| 7:22 |
soby much the moresame alsoextent Jesus also has become the guarantee of a better covenant. |
| 7:23 |
The former priests, on the one hand, existed in greater numbers because they were prevented by death from continuing,; |
| 7:24 |
but Jesus, on the other hand, because He continues forever, holds His priesthood permanently. |
| 7:25 |
Therefore He is also able also to save forever those who drawcome near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. |
| 7:26 |
For it was fitting for us to have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens; |
| 7:27 |
who doeshas notno daily need daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people, because this He did this once for all time when He offered up Himself. |
| 7:28 |
For the Law appoints men as high priests who are weak, but the word of the oath, which came after the Law, appoints a Son, who has been made perfect forever. |
| 8:2 |
a minister in the sanctuary and in the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitchedset up, not man. |
| 8:5 |
who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses was warned by God when he was about to erect the tabernacle; for, “See,” He says, “that you make all things accordingby to the pattern which was shown to you on the mountain.” |
| 8:6 |
But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, byto asthe muchextent asthat He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises. |
| 8:7 |
For if that first covenant had been faultlessfree of fault, thereno circumstances would have been no occasion sought for a second. |
| 8:8 |
For in finding fault with themthe people, He says, “Behold, days are coming, says the Lord, When I will effectbring about a new covenant With the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;, |
| 8:9 |
Not like the covenant which I made with their fathers On the day when I took them by the hand To leadbring them out of the land of Egypt; For they did not continue in My covenant, And I did not care forabout them, says the Lord. |
| 8:10 |
For this is the covenant thatwhich I will make with the house of Israel After those days, saysdeclares the Lord: I will put My laws into their minds, And I will write them on their hearts. And I will be their God, And they shall be My people. |
| 8:11 |
And they shallwill not teach, everyoneeach one his fellow citizen, And everyoneeach one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ For allthey will all know Me, From the least to the greatest of them. |
| 8:12 |
For I will be merciful totoward their iniquitieswrongdoings, And their sins I will rememberno theirlonger sins no moreremember.” |
| 8:13 |
When He said, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is readyabout to disappear. |
| 9:1 |
Now even the first covenant had regulations offor divine worship and the earthly sanctuary. |
| 9:2 |
For there was a tabernacle preparedwas equipped, the outer onesanctuary, in which were the lampstand, and the table, and the sacred bread; this is called the holyHoly placePlace. |
| 9:3 |
Behind the second veil there was a tabernacle which is called the Most Holy of HoliesPlace, |
| 9:4 |
having a golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, in which was a golden jar holding the manna, and Aaron’s rodstaff which budded, and the tablestablets of the covenant; |
| 9:5 |
and above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercyatoning seatcover; but ofabout these things we cannot now speak in detail. |
| 9:6 |
Now when these things have been so prepared, the priests are continually entering the outer tabernacle, performing the divine worship, |
| 9:7 |
but into the second, only the high priest enters once a year, not without taking blood, which he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance. |
| 9:10 |
since they relate only to food, and drink, and various washings, regulations for the body imposed until a time of reformation. |
| 9:11 |
But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things tohaving come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made withby hands, that is to say, not of this creation; |
| 9:12 |
and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all time, having obtained eternal redemption. |
| 9:13 |
For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh, |
| 9:15 |
For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressionsviolations that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. |
| 9:16 |
For where there is a covenant is, there must of necessity be the death of the one who made it. |
| 9:17 |
For a covenant is valid only when menpeople are dead, for it is never in force while the one who made it lives. |
| 9:22 |
And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, according to the Law, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. |
| 9:23 |
Therefore it was necessary for the copies of the things in the heavens to be cleansed with these things, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. |
| 9:24 |
For Christ did not enter a holy place made withby hands, a mere copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us; |
| 9:25 |
nor was it that He would offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the holyHoly placePlace year by year with blood that is not his own. |
| 9:26 |
Otherwise, He would have needed to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now once at the consummation of the ages He has been manifestedrevealed to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. |
| 9:27 |
And inasmuchjust as it is appointeddestined for menpeople to die once, and after this comes judgment, |
| 10:1 |
For the Law, since it has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the very form of those things itself, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually yearevery by year, make perfect those who drawapproach nearperfect. |
| 10:3 |
But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins yearevery by year. |
| 10:5 |
Therefore, when He comes into the world, He says, “Sacrifice and offering You have not desired sacrifice and offering, But a body You have prepared a body for Me; |
| 10:6 |
InYou have not taken pleasure in whole burnt offerings and sacrificesofferings for sin You have taken no pleasure. |
| 10:7 |
Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come (InIt theis scrollwritten of theMe bookin itthe isscroll written of Methe book) To do Your will, O God.’ ” |
| 10:8 |
After saying above, “Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrificesofferings for sin You have not desired, nor have You taken pleasure in them” (which are offered according to the Law), |
| 10:10 |
By this will, we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all time. |
| 10:13 |
waiting from that time onward until His enemies beare made a footstool for His feet. |
| 10:16 |
“This is the covenant thatwhich I will make with them After those days, saysdeclares the Lord: I will put My laws upon their hearthearts, And write them on their mind I will write them,” He then says, |
| 10:17 |
“And their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no morelonger remember.” |
| 10:18 |
Now where there is forgiveness of these things, therean offering for sin is no longer any offering for sinrequired. |
| 10:19 |
Therefore, brethrenbrothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, |
| 10:20 |
by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, through His flesh, |
| 10:22 |
let’s usapproach drawGod near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. |
| 10:23 |
Let’s us hold fastfirmly to the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; |
| 10:24 |
and let’s us consider how to stimulateencourage one another toin love and good deeds, |
| 10:25 |
not forsakingabandoning our own assemblingmeeting together, as is the habit of some people, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near. |
| 10:28 |
Anyone who has setignored aside the Law of Moses diesis put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. |
| 10:29 |
How much severermore severe punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled underunderfoot foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? |
| 10:33 |
partly by being made a public spectacle through reproachesinsults and tribulationsdistress, and partly by becoming sharerscompanions with those who were so treated. |
| 10:34 |
For you showed sympathy to the prisoners and accepted joyfully the seizure of your property, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and a lasting onepossession. |
| 10:38 |
But My righteous one shallwill live by faith; And if he shrinks back, My soul has no pleasure in him. |
| 10:39 |
But we are not ofamong those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith tofor the preservingsafekeeping of the soul. |
| 11:1 |
Now faith is the assurancecertainty of things hoped for, thea convictionproof of things not seen. |
| 11:2 |
For by it the menpeople of old gained approval. |
| 11:3 |
By faith we understand that the worldsworld werehas preparedbeen created by the word of God, so that what is seen washas not been made out of things whichthat are visible. |
| 11:4 |
By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtainedwas theattested testimonyto thatbe he was righteous, God testifying about his gifts, and through faith, though he is dead, he still speaks. |
| 11:5 |
By faith Enoch was taken up so that he would not see death; and he was not found because God took him up; for he obtained the witness that before hishe beingwas taken up, he was attested to have been pleasing to God. |
| 11:6 |
And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for hethe one who comes to God must believe that He isexists, and that He isproves ato rewarderbe ofOne who rewards those who seek Him. |
| 11:8 |
By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went outleft, not knowing where he was going. |
| 11:9 |
By faith he lived as ana alienstranger in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwellingliving in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of the same promise; |
| 11:12 |
Therefore there was born even offrom one man, and himone who was as good as dead at that, asthere manywere born descendants who were just as the stars of heaven in number, and innumerable as the sandinnumerable whichgrains isof bysand along the seashore. |
| 11:13 |
All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. |
| 11:15 |
And indeed if they had been thinking of that country from which they went outleft, they would have had opportunity to return. |
| 11:17 |
By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and hethe one who had received the promises was offering up his only begotten son; |
| 11:18 |
it was he to whom it was said, “InThrough Isaac your descendants shall be callednamed.” |
| 11:25 |
choosing rather to endure ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the passingtemporary pleasures of sin, |
| 11:27 |
By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he enduredpersevered, as though seeing Him who is unseen. |
| 11:28 |
By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that hethe whodestroyer destroyedof the firstborn would not touch them. |
| 11:29 |
By faith they passed through the Red Sea as though they were passing through dry land; and the Egyptians, when they attempted it, were drowned. |
| 11:30 |
By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after theythe Israelites had beenmarched encircledaround them for seven days. |
| 11:31 |
By faith Rahab the harlotprostitute Rahab did not perish along with those who were disobedient, after she had welcomed the spies in peace. |
| 11:36 |
and others experienced mockingsmocking and scourgingsflogging, yesand further, also chains and imprisonment. |
| 11:37 |
They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were tempted, they were put to death with the sword; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, ill-treatedtormented |
| 11:38 |
(menpeople of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts, andon mountains, and sheltering in caves and holes in the ground. |
| 12:1 |
Therefore, since we also have sosuch a great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let’s usrid alsoourselves layof aside every encumbranceobstacle and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s us run with endurance the race that is set before us, |
| 12:2 |
fixinglooking ouronly eyesat on Jesus, the authororiginator and perfecter of the faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. |
| 12:5 |
and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons, “My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, Nor faint when you are reprovedpunished by Him; |
| 12:6 |
For those whom the Lord loves He disciplines, And He scourgespunishes every son whom He receivesaccepts.” |
| 12:9 |
Furthermore, we had earthly fathers to discipline us, and we respected them; shall we not much rathermore be subject to the Father of spirits, and live? |
| 12:11 |
AllFor discipline for the moment, all discipline seems not to be joyfulpleasant, but sorrowfulpainful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwardsafterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness. |
| 12:13 |
and make straight paths for your feet, so that the limb which is lameimpaired may not be put out of jointdislocated, but rather be healed. |
| 12:14 |
Pursue peace with all menpeople, and the sanctificationholiness without which no one will see the Lord. |
| 12:15 |
See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many bebecome defiled; |
| 12:16 |
that there be no sexually immoral or godless person like Esau, who sold his own birthright for a single meal. |
| 12:17 |
For you know that even afterwardsafterward, when he desiredwanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought for it with tears. |
| 12:19 |
and to the blast of a trumpet and the sound of words, which sound was such that those who heard begged that no further word be spoken to them. |
| 12:20 |
For they could not bearcope with the command, “If even aan beastanimal touches the mountain, it willshall be stoned.” |
| 12:21 |
And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, “I am fullterrified of fear and trembling.” |
| 12:25 |
See to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking. For if those did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape who turn away from Him who warns us from heaven. |
| 12:28 |
Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let’s us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe; |
| 13:1 |
Let love of the brethrenbrothers and sisters continue. |
| 13:2 |
Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it. |
| 13:3 |
