+Book 58 Hebrews
+
+58:001:001 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time
+ past unto the fathers by the prophets,
+
+58:001:002 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;
+
+58:001:003 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:
+
+58:001:004 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by
+ inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
+
+58:001:005 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?
+
+58:001:006 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the
+ world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
+
+58:001:007 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and
+ his ministers a flame of fire.
+
+58:001:008 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.
+
+58:001:009 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore
+ God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness
+ above thy fellows.
+
+58:001:010 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of
+ the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
+
+58:001:011 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax
+ old as doth a garment;
+
+58:001:012 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.
+
+58:001:013 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my
+ right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
+
+58:001:014 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister
+ for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
+
+58:002:001 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.
+
+58:002:002 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every
+ transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of
+ reward;
+
+58:002:003 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;
+
+58:002:004 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?
+
+58:002:005 For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to
+ come, whereof we speak.
+
+58:002:006 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?
+
+58:002:007 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:
+
+58:002:008 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.
+
+58:002:009 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.
+
+58:002:010 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.
+
+58:002:011 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,
+
+58:002:012 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst
+ of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
+
+58:002:013 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and
+ the children which God hath given me.
+
+58:002:014 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;
+
+58:002:015 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their
+ lifetime subject to bondage.
+
+58:002:016 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he
+ took on him the seed of Abraham.
+
+58:002:017 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.
+
+58:002:018 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able
+ to succour them that are tempted.
+
+58:003:001 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling,
+ consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ
+ Jesus;
+
+58:003:002 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was
+ faithful in all his house.
+
+58:003:003 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.
+
+58:003:004 For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all
+ things is God.
+
+58:003:005 And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant,
+ for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
+
+58:003:006 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.
+
+58:003:007 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his
+ voice,
+
+58:003:008 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of
+ temptation in the wilderness:
+
+58:003:009 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works
+ forty years.
+
+58:003:010 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They
+ do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
+
+58:003:011 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
+
+58:003:012 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart
+ of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
+
+58:003:013 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest
+ any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
+
+58:003:014 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning
+ of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
+
+58:003:015 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not
+ your hearts, as in the provocation.
+
+58:003:016 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all
+ that came out of Egypt by Moses.
+
+58:003:017 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them
+ that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
+
+58:003:018 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest,
+ but to them that believed not?
+
+58:003:019 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
+
+58:004:001 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.
+
+58:004:002 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.
+
+58:004:003 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.
+
+58:004:004 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.
+
+58:004:005 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
+
+58:004:006 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein,
+ and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because
+ of unbelief:
+
+58:004:007 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.
+
+58:004:008 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward
+ have spoken of another day.
+
+58:004:009 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
+
+58:004:010 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from
+ his own works, as God did from his.
+
+58:004:011 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man
+ fall after the same example of unbelief.
+
+58:004:012 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.
+
+58:004:013 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.
+
+58:004:014 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.
+
+58:004:015 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.
+
+58:004:016 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we
+ may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
+
+58:005:001 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:
+
+58:005:002 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.
+
+58:005:003 And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for
+ himself, to offer for sins.
+
+58:005:004 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is
+ called of God, as was Aaron.
+
+58:005:005 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.
+
+58:005:006 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever
+ after the order of Melchisedec.
+
+58:005:007 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;
+
+58:005:008 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things
+ which he suffered;
+
+58:005:009 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal
+ salvation unto all them that obey him;
+
+58:005:010 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
+
+58:005:011 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered,
+ seeing ye are dull of hearing.
+
+58:005:012 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.
+
+58:005:013 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of
+ righteousness: for he is a babe.
+
+58:005:014 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.
+
+58:006:001 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,
+
+58:006:002 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of
+ resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
+
+58:006:003 And this will we do, if God permit.
+
+58:006:004 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,
+
+58:006:005 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the
+ world to come,
+
+58:006:006 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.
+
+58:006:007 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:
+
+58:006:008 But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is
+ nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.
+
+58:006:009 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and
+ things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.
+
+58:006:010 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.
+
+58:006:011 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence
+ to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
+
+58:006:012 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through
+ faith and patience inherit the promises.
+
+58:006:013 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear
+ by no greater, he sware by himself,
+
+58:006:014 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I
+ will multiply thee.
+
+58:006:015 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the
+ promise.
+
+58:006:016 For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for
+ confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
+
+58:006:017 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of
+ promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an
+ oath:
+
+58:006:018 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:
+
+58:006:019 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and
+ stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
+
+58:006:020 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an
+ high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
+
+58:007:001 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;
+
+58:007:002 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;
+
+58:007:003 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.
+
+58:007:004 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the
+ patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.
+
+58:007:005 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:
+
+58:007:006 But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes
+ of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
+
+58:007:007 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the
+ better.
+
+58:007:008 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth
+ them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.
+
+58:007:009 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed
+ tithes in Abraham.
+
+58:007:010 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec
+ met him.
+
+58:007:011 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?
+
+58:007:012 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a
+ change also of the law.
+
+58:007:013 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another
+ tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.
+
+58:007:014 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which
+ tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
+
+58:007:015 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude
+ of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,
+
+58:007:016 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but
+ after the power of an endless life.
+
+58:007:017 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order
+ of Melchisedec.
+
+58:007:018 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going
+ before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
+
+58:007:019 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a
+ better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
+
+58:007:020 And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:
+
+58:007:021 (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:)
+
+58:007:022 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
+
+58:007:023 And they truly were many priests, because they were not
+ suffered to continue by reason of death:
+
+58:007:024 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable
+ priesthood.
+
+58:007:025 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.
+
+58:007:026 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless,
+ undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the
+ heavens;
+
+58:007:027 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.
+
+58:007:028 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.
+
+58:008:001 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;
+
+58:008:002 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which
+ the Lord pitched, and not man.
+
+58:008:003 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and
+ sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have
+ somewhat also to offer.
+
+58:008:004 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing
+ that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:
+
+58:008:005 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.
+
+58:008:006 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.
+
+58:008:007 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no
+ place have been sought for the second.
+
+58:008:008 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:
+
+58:008:009 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.
+
+58:008:010 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:
+
+58:008:011 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.
+
+58:008:012 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their
+ sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
+
+58:008:013 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.
+
+58:009:001 Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine
+ service, and a worldly sanctuary.
+
+58:009:002 For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the
+ candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called
+ the sanctuary.
+
+58:009:003 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the
+ Holiest of all;
+
+58:009:004 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;
+
+58:009:005 And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of
+ which we cannot now speak particularly.
+
+58:009:006 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went
+ always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of
+ God.
+
+58:009:007 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:
+
+58:009:008 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:
+
+58:009:009 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;
+
+58:009:010 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and
+ carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of
+ reformation.
+
+58:009:011 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;
+
+58:009:012 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.
+
+58:009:013 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:
+
+58:009:014 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?
+
+58:009:015 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.
+
+58:009:016 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the
+ death of the testator.
+
+58:009:017 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it
+ is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
+
+58:009:018 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without
+ blood.
+
+58:009:019 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,
+
+58:009:020 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath
+ enjoined unto you.
+
+58:009:021 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all
+ the vessels of the ministry.
+
+58:009:022 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and
+ without shedding of blood is no remission.
+
+58:009:023 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.
+
+58:009:024 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:
+
+58:009:025 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest
+ entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
+
+58:009:026 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.
+
+58:009:027 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this
+ the judgment:
+
+58:009:028 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.
+
+58:010:001 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.
+
+58:010:002 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because
+ that the worshippers once purged should have had no more
+ conscience of sins.
+
+58:010:003 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of
+ sins every year.
+
+58:010:004 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats
+ should take away sins.
+
+58:010:005 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice
+ and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared
+ me:
+
+58:010:006 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no
+ pleasure.
+
+58:010:007 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is
+ written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
+
+58:010:008 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;
+
+58:010:009 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away
+ the first, that he may establish the second.
+
+58:010:010 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of
+ the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
+
+58:010:011 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering
+ oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away
+ sins:
+
+58:010:012 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for
+ ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
+
+58:010:013 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his
+ footstool.
+
+58:010:014 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are
+ sanctified.
+
+58:010:015 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that
+ he had said before,
+
+58:010:016 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;
+
+58:010:017 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
+
+58:010:018 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for
+ sin.
+
+58:010:019 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest
+ by the blood of Jesus,
+
+58:010:020 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us,
+ through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
+
+58:010:021 And having an high priest over the house of God;
+
+58:010:022 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.
+
+58:010:023 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering;
+ (for he is faithful that promised;)
+
+58:010:024 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to
+ good works:
+
+58:010:025 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.
+
+58:010:026 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the
+ knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for
+ sins,
+
+58:010:027 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery
+ indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
+
+58:010:028 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or
+ three witnesses:
+
+58:010:029 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?
+
+58:010:030 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.
+
+58:010:031 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living
+ God.
+
+58:010:032 But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye
+ were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;
+
+58:010:033 Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches
+ and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of
+ them that were so used.
+
+58:010:034 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.
+
+58:010:035 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great
+ recompence of reward.
+
+58:010:036 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the
+ will of God, ye might receive the promise.
+
+58:010:037 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and
+ will not tarry.
+
+58:010:038 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my
+ soul shall have no pleasure in him.
+
+58:010:039 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of
+ them that believe to the saving of the soul.
+
+58:011:001 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence
+ of things not seen.
+
+58:011:002 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
+
+58:011:003 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.
+
+58:011:004 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.
+
+58:011:005 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.
+
+58:011:006 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.
+
+58:011:007 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.
+
+58:011:008 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.
+
+58:011:009 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:
+
+58:011:010 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder
+ and maker is God.
+
+58:011:011 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.
+
+58:011:012 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.
+
+58:011:013 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.
+
+58:011:014 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a
+ country.
+
+58:011:015 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from
+ whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have
+ returned.
+
+58:011:016 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.
+
+58:011:017 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he
+ that had received the promises offered up his only begotten
+ son,
+
+58:011:018 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
+
+58:011:019 Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the
+ dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.
+
+58:011:020 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to
+ come.
+
+58:011:021 By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of
+ Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.
+
+58:011:022 By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing
+ of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his
+ bones.
+
+58:011:023 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.
+
+58:011:024 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be
+ called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
+
+58:011:025 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God,
+ than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
+
+58:011:026 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the
+ treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of
+ the reward.
+
+58:011:027 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king:
+ for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
+
+58:011:028 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of
+ blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
+
+58:011:029 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which
+ the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.
+
+58:011:030 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were
+ compassed about seven days.
+
+58:011:031 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed
+ not, when she had received the spies with peace.
+
+58:011:032 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:
+
+58:011:033 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness,
+ obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions.
+
+58:011:034 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.
+
+58:011:035 Women received their dead raised to life again: and others
+ were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might
+ obtain a better resurrection:
+
+58:011:036 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea,
+ moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
+
+58:011:037 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;
+
+58:011:038 (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts,
+ and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
+
+58:011:039 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith,
+ received not the promise:
+
+58:011:040 God having provided some better thing for us, that they
+ without us should not be made perfect.
+
+58:012:001 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,
+
+58:012:002 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.
+
+58:012:003 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners
+ against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
+
+58:012:004 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
+
+58:012:005 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:
+
+58:012:006 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every
+ son whom he receiveth.
+
+58:012:007 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons;
+ for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
+
+58:012:008 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers,
+ then are ye bastards, and not sons.
+
+58:012:009 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?
+
+58:012:010 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.
+
+58:012:011 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.
+
+58:012:012 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble
+ knees;
+
+58:012:013 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame
+ be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
+
+58:012:014 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man
+ shall see the Lord:
+
+58:012:015 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;
+
+58:012:016 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who
+ for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
+
+58:012:017 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.
+
+58:012:018 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and
+ that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and
+ tempest,
+
+58:012:019 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:
+
+58:012:020 (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:
+
+58:012:021 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly
+ fear and quake:)
+
+58:012:022 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,
+
+58:012:023 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,
+
+58:012:024 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the
+ blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things that that of
+ Abel.
+
+58:012:025 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:
+
+58:012:026 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised,
+ saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also
+ heaven.
+
+58:012:027 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.
+
+58:012:028 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us
+ have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence
+ and godly fear:
+
+58:012:029 For our God is a consuming fire.
+
+58:013:001 Let brotherly love continue.
+
+58:013:002 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have
+ entertained angels unawares.
+
+58:013:003 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them
+ which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.
+
+58:013:004 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but
+ whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
+
+58:013:005 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.
+
+58:013:006 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will
+ not fear what man shall do unto me.
+
+58:013:007 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.
+
+58:013:008 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
+
+58:013:009 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.
+
+58:013:010 We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which
+ serve the tabernacle.
+
+58:013:011 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into
+ the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without
+ the camp.
+
+58:013:012 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with
+ his own blood, suffered without the gate.
+
+58:013:013 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing
+ his reproach.
+
+58:013:014 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.
+
+58:013:015 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.
+
+58:013:016 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such
+ sacrifices God is well pleased.
+
+58:013:017 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.
+
+58:013:018 Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all
+ things willing to live honestly.
+
+58:013:019 But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be
+ restored to you the sooner.
+
+58:013:020 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,
+
+58:013:021 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.
+
+58:013:022 And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation:
+ for I have written a letter unto you in few words.
+
+58:013:023 Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom,
+ if he come shortly, I will see you.
+
+58:013:024 Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the
+ saints. They of Italy salute you.
+
+58:013:025 Grace be with you all. Amen.

+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. Our
+projected audience is one hundred million readers. If the value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
+files per month: 1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
+We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.
