+Book 58 Hebrews
+001:001 God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets
+ at many times and in various ways,
+001:002 has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son,
+ whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also
+ he made the worlds.
+001:003 His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of
+ his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power,
+ when he had by himself made purification for our sins,
+ sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
+001:004 having become so much better than the angels, as he has
+ inherited a more excellent name than they have.
+001:005 For to which of the angels did he say at any time, "You are my Son.
+ Today have I become your father?"{Psalm 2:7} and again, "I will
+ be to him a Father, and he will be to me a Son?"{2 Samuel 7:14;
+ 1 Chronicles 17:13}
+001:006 Again, when he brings in the firstborn into the world he says,
+ "Let all the angels of God worship him."
+001:007 Of the angels he says, "Who makes his angels winds, and his
+ servants a flame of fire."{Psalm 104:4}
+001:008 But of the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever.
+ The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your Kingdom.
+001:009 You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God,
+ your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above
+ your fellows."{Psalm 45:6-7}
+001:010 And, "You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth.
+ The heavens are the works of your hands.
+001:011 They will perish, but you continue. They all will grow old
+ like a garment does.
+001:012 As a mantle, you will roll them up, and they will be changed;
+ but you are the same. Your years will not fail."{Psalm 102:25-27}
+001:013 But which of the angels has he told at any time, "Sit at
+ my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool
+ of your feet?"{Psalm 110:1}
+001:014 Aren't they all serving spirits, sent out to do service
+ for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
+002:001 Therefore we ought to pay greater attention to the things
+ that were heard, lest perhaps we drift away.
+002:002 For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every
+ transgression and disobedience received a just recompense;
+002:003 how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation--
+ which at the first having been spoken through the Lord,
+ was confirmed to us by those who heard;
+002:004 God also testifying with them, both by signs and wonders,
+ by various works of power, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit,
+ according to his own will?
+002:005 For he didn't subject the world to come, of which we speak,
+ to angels.
+002:006 But one has somewhere testified, saying, "What is man, that you
+ think of him? Or the son of man, that you care for him?
+002:007 You made him a little lower than the angels. You crowned him
+ with glory and honor.{TR adds "and set him over the works
+ of your hands"}
+002:008 You have put all things in subjection under his feet."{Psalm
+ 8:4-6} For in that he subjected all things to him, he left
+ nothing that is not subject to him. But now we don't see
+ all things subjected to him, yet.
+002:009 But we see him who has been made a little lower than
+ the angels, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned
+ with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste
+ of death for everyone.
+002:010 For it became him, for whom are all things, and through whom
+ are all things, in bringing many children to glory, to make
+ the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
+002:011 For both he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified
+ are all from one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call
+ them brothers{The word for "brothers" here and where
+ context allows may also be correctly translated "brothers
+ and sisters" or "siblings."},
+002:012 saying, "I will declare your name to my brothers. In the midst
+ of the congregation I will sing your praise."{Psalm 22:22}
+002:013 Again, "I will put my trust in him."{Isaiah 8:17} Again, "Behold,
+ here I am with the children whom God has given me."{Isaiah 8:18}
+002:014 Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood,
+ he also himself in like manner partook of the same, that through
+ death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death,
+ that is, the devil,
+002:015 and might deliver all of them who through fear of death were
+ all their lifetime subject to bondage.
+002:016 For most certainly, he doesn't give help to angels, but he gives
+ help to the seed of Abraham.
+002:017 Therefore he was obligated in all things to be made like
+ his brothers, that he might become a merciful and faithful
+ high priest in things pertaining to God, to make atonement
+ for the sins of the people.
+002:018 For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able
+ to help those who are tempted.
+003:001 Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling,
+ consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus;
+003:002 who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also was Moses
+ in all his house.
+003:003 For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses,
+ inasmuch as he who built the house has more honor than the house.
+003:004 For every house is built by someone; but he who built all
+ things is God.
+003:005 Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant,
+ for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken,
+003:006 but Christ is faithful as a Son over his house; whose house we are,
+ if we hold fast our confidence and the glorying of our hope
+ firm to the end.
+003:007 Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, "Today if you will
+ hear his voice,
+003:008 don't harden your hearts, as in the provocation, like as in
+ the day of the trial in the wilderness,
+003:009 where your fathers tested me by proving me, and saw my works
+ for forty years.
+003:010 Therefore I was displeased with that generation, and said,
+ 'They always err in their heart, but they didn't know my ways;'
+003:011 as I swore in my wrath, 'They will not enter into
+ my rest.'"{Psalm 95:7-11}
+003:012 Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you
+ an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God;
+003:013 but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called "today;"
+ lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
+003:014 For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast
+ the beginning of our confidence firm to the end:
+003:015 while it is said, "Today if you will hear his voice,
+ don't harden your hearts, as in the rebellion."{Psalm 95:7-8}
+003:016 For who, when they heard, rebelled? No, didn't all those who
+ came out of Egypt by Moses?
+003:017 With whom was he displeased forty years? Wasn't it with those
+ who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?
+003:018 To whom did he swear that they wouldn't enter into his rest,
+ but to those who were disobedient?
+003:019 We see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
+004:001 Let us fear therefore, lest perhaps anyone of you should seem
+ to have come short of a promise of entering into his rest.
+004:002 For indeed we have had good news preached to us, even as they
+ also did, but the word they heard didn't profit them,
+ because it wasn't mixed with faith by those who heard.
+004:003 For we who have believed do enter into that rest, even as
+ he has said, "As I swore in my wrath, they will not enter
+ into my rest;"{Psalm 95:11} although the works were finished
+ from the foundation of the world.
+004:004 For he has said this somewhere about the seventh day, "God rested
+ on the seventh day from all his works;"{Genesis 2:2}
+004:005 and in this place again, "They will not enter into
+ my rest."{Psalm 95:11}
+004:006 Seeing therefore it remains that some should enter therein,
+ and they to whom the good news was before preached failed
+ to enter in because of disobedience,
+004:007 he again defines a certain day, today, saying through David
+ so long a time afterward (just as has been said), "Today if you
+ will hear his voice, don't harden your hearts."{Psalm 95:7-8}
+004:008 For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken
+ afterward of another day.
+004:009 There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God.
+004:010 For he who has entered into his rest has himself also rested
+ from his works, as God did from his.
+004:011 Let us therefore give diligence to enter into that rest,
+ lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience.
+004:012 For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any
+ two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul
+ and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern
+ the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
+004:013 There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all
+ things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom
+ we have to do.
+004:014 Having then a great high priest, who has passed through
+ the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold tightly
+ to our confession.
+004:015 For we don't have a high priest who can't be touched with
+ the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all
+ points tempted like we are, yet without sin.
+004:016 Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace,
+ that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help
+ in time of need.
+005:001 For every high priest, being taken from among men, is appointed
+ for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both
+ gifts and sacrifices for sins.
+005:002 The high priest can deal gently with those who are ignorant and
+ going astray, because he himself is also surrounded with weakness.
+005:003 Because of this, he must offer sacrifices for sins for the people,
+ as well as for himself.
+005:004 Nobody takes this honor on himself, but he is called by God,
+ just like Aaron was.
+005:005 So also Christ didn't glorify himself to be made a high priest,
+ but it was he who said to him, "You are my Son.
+ Today I have become your father."{Psalm 2:7}
+005:006 As he says also in another place, "You are a priest forever,
+ after the order of Melchizedek."{Psalm 110:4}
+005:007 He, in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and
+ petitions with strong crying and tears to him who was able
+ to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,
+005:008 though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things
+ which he suffered.
+005:009 Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey
+ him the author of eternal salvation,
+005:010 named by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.
+005:011 About him we have many words to say, and hard to interpret,
+ seeing you have become dull of hearing.
+005:012 For when by reason of the time you ought to be teachers,
+ you again need to have someone teach you the rudiments
+ of the first principles of the oracles of God.
+ You have come to need milk, and not solid food.
+005:013 For everyone who lives on milk is not experienced in the word
+ of righteousness, for he is a baby.
+005:014 But solid food is for those who are full grown, who by reason
+ of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.
+006:001 Therefore leaving the doctrine of the first principles of Christ,
+ let us press on to perfection--not laying again a foundation
+ of repentance from dead works, of faith toward God,
+006:002 of the teaching of baptisms, of laying on of hands,
+ of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
+006:003 This will we do, if God permits.
+006:004 For concerning those who were once enlightened and tasted of
+ the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,
+006:005 and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come,
+006:006 and then fell away, it is impossible to renew them again
+ to repentance; seeing they crucify the Son of God for
+ themselves again, and put him to open shame.
+006:007 For the land which has drunk the rain that comes often on it,
+ and brings forth a crop suitable for them for whose sake it
+ is also tilled, receives blessing from God;
+006:008 but if it bears thorns and thistles, it is rejected and near
+ being cursed, whose end is to be burned.
+006:009 But, beloved, we are persuaded of better things for you,
+ and things that accompany salvation, even though we
+ speak like this.
+006:010 For God is not unrighteous, so as to forget your work
+ and the labor of love which you showed toward his name,
+ in that you served the saints, and still do serve them.
+006:011 We desire that each one of you may show the same diligence
+ to the fullness of hope even to the end,
+006:012 that you won't be sluggish, but imitators of those who through
+ faith and patience inherited the promises.
+006:013 For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he could swear
+ by none greater, he swore by himself,
+006:014 saying, "Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I
+ will multiply you."{Genesis 22:17}
+006:015 Thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
+006:016 For men indeed swear by a greater one, and in every dispute
+ of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.
+006:017 In this way God, being determined to show more abundantly
+ to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel,
+ interposed with an oath;
+006:018 that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God
+ to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled
+ for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us.
+006:019 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure
+ and steadfast and entering into that which is within the veil;
+006:020 where as a forerunner Jesus entered for us, having become
+ a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.
+007:001 For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High,
+ who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings
+ and blessed him,
+007:002 to whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first,
+ by interpretation, king of righteousness, and then also king
+ of Salem, which is king of peace;
+007:003 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither
+ beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God),
+ remains a priest continually.
+007:004 Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham,
+ the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the best spoils.
+007:005 They indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest's office
+ have a commandment to take tithes of the people according
+ to the law, that is, of their brothers, though these have come
+ out of the body of Abraham,
+007:006 but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted
+ tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.
+007:007 But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.
+007:008 Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives
+ tithes of whom it is testified that he lives.
+007:009 We can say that through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes,
+ has paid tithes,
+007:010 for he was yet in the body of his father when Melchizedek met him.
+007:011 Now if there was perfection through the Levitical priesthood
+ (for under it the people have received the law), what further
+ need was there for another priest to arise after the order
+ of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
+007:012 For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change
+ made also in the law.
+007:013 For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe,
+ from which no one has officiated at the altar.
+007:014 For it is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah,
+ about which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.
+007:015 This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness
+ of Melchizedek there arises another priest,
+007:016 who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment,
+ but after the power of an endless life:
+007:017 for it is testified, "You are a priest forever, according to
+ the order of Melchizedek."{Psalm 110:4}
+007:018 For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because
+ of its weakness and uselessness
+007:019 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a
+ better hope, through which we draw near to God.
+007:020 Inasmuch as he was not made priest without the taking of an oath
+007:021 (for they indeed have been made priests without an oath),
+ but he with an oath by him that says of him, "The Lord swore
+ and will not change his mind, 'You are a priest forever,
+ according to the order of Melchizedek.'"{Psalm 110:4}
+007:022 By so much, Jesus has become the collateral of a better covenant.
+007:023 Many, indeed, have been made priests, because they are hindered
+ from continuing by death.
+007:024 But he, because he lives forever, has his priesthood unchangeable.
+007:025 Therefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those who draw
+ near to God through him, seeing that he lives forever to make
+ intercession for them.
+007:026 For such a high priest was fitting for us: holy, guiltless,
+ undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
+007:027 who doesn't need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices
+ daily, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people.
+ For he did this once for all, when he offered up himself.
+007:028 For the law appoints men as high priests who have weakness,
+ but the word of the oath which came after the law appoints
+ a Son forever who has been perfected.
+008:001 Now in the things which we are saying, the main point is this.
+ We have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand
+ of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,
+008:002 a servant of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle,
+ which the Lord pitched, not man.
+008:003 For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts
+ and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this high
+ priest also have something to offer.
+008:004 For if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all,
+ seeing there are priests who offer the gifts according
+ to the law;
+008:005 who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses
+ was warned by God when he was about to make the tabernacle,
+ for he said, "See, you shall make everything according to the
+ pattern that was shown to you on the mountain."{Exodus 25:40}
+008:006 But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry,
+ by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant,
+ which on better promises has been given as law.
+008:007 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place
+ would have been sought for a second.
+008:008 For finding fault with them, he said, "Behold, the days come,"
+ says the Lord, "that I will make a new covenant with the house
+ of Israel and with the house of Judah;
+008:009 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers,
+ in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of
+ the land of Egypt; for they didn't continue in my covenant,
+ and I disregarded them," says the Lord.
+008:010 "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel.
+ After those days," says the Lord; "I will put my laws
+ into their mind, I will also write them on their heart.
+ I will be their God, and they will be my people.
+008:011 They will not teach every man his fellow citizen,{TR
+ reads "neighbor" instead of "fellow citizen"} and every man
+ his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for all will know me,
+ from the least of them to the greatest of them.
+008:012 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness. I will remember
+ their sins and lawless deeds no more."{Jeremiah 31:31-34}
+008:013 In that he says, "A new covenant," he has made the first old.
+ But that which is becoming old and grows aged is near
+ to vanishing away.
+009:001 Now indeed even the first{TR adds "tabernacle"} covenant had
+ ordinances of divine service, and an earthly sanctuary.
+009:002 For a tabernacle was prepared. In the first part were the lampstand,
+ the table, and the show bread; which is called the Holy Place.
+009:003 After the second veil was the tabernacle which is called
+ the Holy of Holies,
+009:004 having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant
+ overlaid on all sides with gold, in which was a golden pot
+ holding the manna, Aaron's rod that budded, and the tablets
+ of the covenant;
+009:005 and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat,
+ of which things we can't speak now in detail.
+009:006 Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in
+ continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services,
+009:007 but into the second the high priest alone, once in the year,
+ not without blood, which he offers for himself, and for
+ the errors of the people.
+009:008 The Holy Spirit is indicating this, that the way into
+ the Holy Place wasn't yet revealed while the first tabernacle
+ was still standing;
+009:009 which is a symbol of the present age, where gifts and sacrifices
+ are offered that are incapable, concerning the conscience,
+ of making the worshipper perfect;
+009:010 being only (with meats and drinks and various washings)
+ fleshly ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation.
+009:011 But Christ having come as a high priest of the coming good things,
+ through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made
+ with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,
+009:012 nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through
+ his own blood, entered in once for all into the Holy Place,
+ having obtained eternal redemption.
+009:013 For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer
+ sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify to the cleanness
+ of the flesh:
+009:014 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal
+ Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse your
+ conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
+009:015 For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, since a
+ death has occurred for the redemption of the transgressions
+ that were under the first covenant, that those who have been
+ called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
+009:016 For where a last will and testament is, there must of necessity
+ be the death of him who made it.
+009:017 For a will is in force where there has been death, for it
+ is never in force while he who made it lives.
+009:018 Therefore even the first covenant has not been dedicated
+ without blood.
+009:019 For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all
+ the people according to the law, he took the blood of the calves
+ and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop,
+ and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,
+009:020 saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God has
+ commanded you."{Exodus 24:8}
+009:021 Moreover he sprinkled the tabernacle and all the vessels
+ of the ministry in like manner with the blood.
+009:022 According to the law, nearly everything is cleansed with blood,
+ and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission.
+009:023 It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things
+ in the heavens should be cleansed with these; but the heavenly
+ things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
+009:024 For Christ hasn't entered into holy places made with hands,
+ which are representations of the true, but into heaven itself,
+ now to appear in the presence of God for us;
+009:025 nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest
+ enters into the holy place year by year with blood not his own,
+009:026 or else he must have suffered often since the foundation
+ of the world. But now once at the end of the ages, he has
+ been revealed to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
+009:027 Inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once,
+ and after this, judgment,
+009:028 so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many,
+ will appear a second time, without sin, to those who are
+ eagerly waiting for him for salvation.
+010:001 For the law, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very
+ image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices
+ year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect
+ those who draw near.
+010:002 Or else wouldn't they have ceased to be offered,
+ because the worshippers, having been once cleansed,
+ would have had no more consciousness of sins?
+010:003 But in those sacrifices there is yearly reminder of sins.
+010:004 For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should
+ take away sins.
+010:005 Therefore when he comes into the world, he says, "Sacrifice and
+ offering you didn't desire, but you prepared a body for me;
+010:006 You had no pleasure in whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin.
+010:007 Then I said, 'Behold, I have come (in the scroll of the book
+ it is written of me) to do your will, O God.'"{Psalm 40:6-8}
+010:008 Previously saying, "Sacrifices and offerings and whole
+ burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you didn't desire,
+ neither had pleasure in them" (those which are offered
+ according to the law),
+010:009 then he has said, "Behold, I have come to do your will."
+ He takes away the first, that he may establish the second,
+010:010 by which will we have been sanctified through the offering
+ of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
+010:011 Every priest indeed stands day by day serving and often offering
+ the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins,
+010:012 but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever,
+ sat down on the right hand of God;
+010:013 from that time waiting until his enemies are made the footstool
+ of his feet.
+010:014 For by one offering he has perfected forever those who
+ are being sanctified.
+010:015 The Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,
+010:016 "This is the covenant that I will make with them:
+ 'After those days,' says the Lord, 'I will put my laws on
+ their heart, I will also write them on their mind;'"{Jeremiah
+ 31:33} then he says,
+010:017 "I will remember their sins and their iniquities
+ no more."{Jeremiah 31:34}
+010:018 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
+010:019 Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy
+ place by the blood of Jesus,
+010:020 by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way,
+ through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
+010:021 and having a great priest over the house of God,
+010:022 let's draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith,
+ having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience,
+ and having our body washed with pure water,
+010:023 let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering;
+ for he who promised is faithful.
+010:024 Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good works,
+010:025 not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom
+ of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more,
+ as you see the Day approaching.
+010:026 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge
+ of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins,
+010:027 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness
+ of fire which will devour the adversaries.
+010:028 A man who disregards Moses' law dies without compassion on
+ the word of two or three witnesses.
+010:029 How much worse punishment, do you think, will he be judged
+ worthy of, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has
+ counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified
+ an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?
+010:030 For we know him who said, "Vengeance belongs to me,"
+ says the Lord, "I will repay."{Deuteronomy 32:35} Again, "The Lord
+ will judge his people."{Deuteronomy 32:36; Psalm 135:14}
+010:031 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
+010:032 But remember the former days, in which, after you were enlightened,
+ you endured a great struggle with sufferings;
+010:033 partly, being exposed to both reproaches and oppressions;
+ and partly, becoming partakers with those who were treated so.
+010:034 For you both had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully
+ accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you
+ have for yourselves a better possession and an enduring one
+ in the heavens.
+010:035 Therefore don't throw away your boldness, which has a great reward.
+010:036 For you need endurance so that, having done the will of God,
+ you may receive the promise.
+010:037 "In a very little while, he who comes will come, and will not wait.
+010:038 But the righteous will live by faith. If he shrinks back,
+ my soul has no pleasure in him."{Habakkuk 2:3-4}
+010:039 But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction,
+ but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul.
+011:001 Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of
+ things not seen.
+011:002 For by this, the elders obtained testimony.
+011:003 By faith, we understand that the universe has been framed
+ by the word of God, so that what is seen has not been made
+ out of things which are visible.
+011:004 By faith, Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain,
+ through which he had testimony given to him that he was righteous,
+ God testifying with respect to his gifts; and through it he,
+ being dead, still speaks.
+011:005 By faith, Enoch was taken away, so that he wouldn't see death,
+ and he was not found, because God translated him.
+ For he has had testimony given to him that before his translation
+ he had been well pleasing to God.
+011:006 Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him,
+ for he who comes to God must believe that he exists,
+ and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.
+011:007 By faith, Noah, being warned about things not yet seen,
+ moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of
+ his house, through which he condemned the world, and became
+ heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.
+011:008 By faith, Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out
+ to the place which he was to receive for an inheritance.
+ He went out, not knowing where he went.
+011:009 By faith, he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in
+ a land not his own, dwelling in tents, with Isaac and Jacob,
+ the heirs with him of the same promise.
+011:010 For he looked for the city which has the foundations,
+ whose builder and maker is God.
+011:011 By faith, even Sarah herself received power to conceive,
+ and she bore a child when she was past age, since she counted
+ him faithful who had promised.
+011:012 Therefore as many as the stars of the sky in multitude,
+ and as innumerable as the sand which is by the sea shore,
+ were fathered by one man, and him as good as dead.
+011:013 These all died in faith, not having received the promises,
+ but having seen{TR adds "and being convinced of"} them
+ and embraced them from afar, and having confessed that they
+ were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
+011:014 For those who say such things make it clear that they are
+ seeking a country of their own.
+011:015 If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they
+ went out, they would have had enough time to return.
+011:016 But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one.
+ Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God,
+ for he has prepared a city for them.
+011:017 By faith, Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac.
+ Yes, he who had gladly received the promises was offering up
+ his one and only son;
+011:018 even he to whom it was said, "In Isaac will your seed
+ be called;"{Genesis 21:12}
+011:019 concluding that God is able to raise up even from the dead.
+ Figuratively speaking, he also did receive him back from the dead.
+011:020 By faith, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even concerning
+ things to come.
+011:021 By faith, Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons
+ of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.
+011:022 By faith, Joseph, when his end was near, made mention of
+ the departure of the children of Israel; and gave instructions
+ concerning his bones.
+011:023 By faith, Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months
+ by his parents, because they saw that he was a beautiful child,
+ and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.
+011:024 By faith, Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called
+ the son of Pharaoh's daughter,
+011:025 choosing rather to share ill treatment with God's people,
+ than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time;
+011:026 accounting the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures
+ of Egypt; for he looked to the reward.
+011:027 By faith, he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king;
+ for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
+011:028 By faith, he kept the Passover, and the sprinkling of the blood,
+ that the destroyer of the firstborn should not touch them.
+011:029 By faith, they passed through the Red Sea as on dry land.
+ When the Egyptians tried to do so, they were swallowed up.
+011:030 By faith, the walls of Jericho fell down, after they had been
+ encircled for seven days.
+011:031 By faith, Rahab the prostitute, didn't perish with those who
+ were disobedient, having received the spies in peace.
+011:032 What more shall I say? For the time would fail me if I told
+ of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets;
+011:033 who, through faith subdued kingdoms, worked out righteousness,
+ obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,{Daniel 6:22-23}
+011:034 quenched the power of fire,{Daniel 3:1-30} escaped the edge
+ of the sword,{1 Kings 19:1-3; 2 Kings 6:31-7:20} from weakness
+ were made strong, grew mighty in war, and caused foreign
+ armies to flee.
+011:035 Women received their dead by resurrection.{1 Kings 19:1-3;
+ 2 Kings 6:31-7:20} Others were tortured, not accepting
+ their deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.
+011:036 Others were tried by mocking and scourging, yes, moreover by
+ bonds and imprisonment.
+011:037 They were stoned.{2 Chronicles 24:20-21} They were sawn apart.
+ They were tempted. They were slain with the sword.{Jeremiah
+ 26:20-23; 1 Kings 19:10} They went around in sheep skins
+ and in goat skins; being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated
+011:038 (of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts,
+ mountains, caves, and the holes of the earth.
+011:039 These all, having had testimony given to them through their faith,
+ didn't receive the promise,
+011:040 God having provided some better thing concerning us,
+ so that apart from us they should not be made perfect.
+012:001 Therefore let us also, seeing we are surrounded by so great
+ a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin
+ which so easily entangles us, and let us run with patience
+ the race that is set before us,
+012:002 looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith,
+ who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross,
+ despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand
+ of the throne of God.
+012:003 For consider him who has endured such contradiction
+ of sinners against himself, that you don't grow weary,
+ fainting in your souls.
+012:004 You have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin;
+012:005 and you have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you
+ as with children, "My son, don't take lightly the chastening
+ of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him;
+012:006 For whom the Lord loves, he chastens, and scourges every son
+ whom he receives."{Proverbs 3:11-12}
+012:007 It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with
+ you as with children, for what son is there whom his
+ father doesn't discipline?
+012:008 But if you are without discipline, of which all have been
+ made partakers, then are you illegitimate, and not children.
+012:009 Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us,
+ and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in
+ subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?
+012:010 For they indeed, for a few days, punished us as seemed good to them;
+ but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.
+012:011 All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous;
+ yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness
+ to those who have been exercised thereby.
+012:012 Therefore, lift up the hands that hang down and the
+ feeble knees,{Isaiah 35:3}
+012:013 and make straight paths for your feet,{Proverbs 4:26} so that
+ which is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
+012:014 Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without
+ which no man will see the Lord,
+012:015 looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace
+ of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you,
+ and many be defiled by it;
+012:016 lest there be any sexually immoral person, or profane person,
+ like Esau, who sold his birthright for one meal.
+012:017 For you know that even when he afterward desired to inherit
+ the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for a
+ change of mind though he sought it diligently with tears.
+012:018 For you have not come to a mountain that might be touched,
+ and that burned with fire, and to blackness, darkness, storm,
+012:019 the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which those who
+ heard it begged that not one more word should be spoken to them,
+012:020 for they could not stand that which was commanded, "If even
+ an animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned{TR adds "or
+ shot with an arrow" [see Exodus 19:12-13]};"{Exodus 19:12-13}
+012:021 and so fearful was the appearance, that Moses said, "I am
+ terrified and trembling."{Deuteronomy 9:19}
+012:022 But you have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God,
+ the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable multitudes of angels,
+012:023 to the general assembly and assembly of the firstborn who are
+ enrolled in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits
+ of just men made perfect,
+012:024 to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant,{Jeremiah 31:31}
+ and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than
+ that of Abel.
+012:025 See that you don't refuse him who speaks. For if they didn't
+ escape when they refused him who warned on the Earth,
+ how much more will we not escape who turn away from him
+ who warns from heaven,
+012:026 whose voice shook the earth then, but now he has promised,
+ saying, "Yet once more I will shake not only the earth,
+ but also the heavens."{Haggai 2:6}
+012:027 This phrase, "Yet once more," signifies the removing of those
+ things that are shaken, as of things that have been made,
+ that those things which are not shaken may remain.
+012:028 Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can't be shaken,
+ let us have grace, through which we serve God acceptably,
+ with reverence and awe,
+012:029 for our God is a consuming fire.{Deuteronomy 4:24}
+013:001 Let brotherly love continue.
+013:002 Don't forget to show hospitality to strangers, for in doing so,
+ some have entertained angels without knowing it.
+013:003 Remember those who are in bonds, as bound with them;
+ and those who are ill-treated, since you are also in the body.
+013:004 Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let
+ the bed be undefiled: but God will judge the sexually
+ immoral and adulterers.
+013:005 Be free from the love of money, content with such things
+ as you have, for he has said, "I will in no way leave you,
+ neither will I in any way forsake you."{Deuteronomy 31:6}
+013:006 So that with good courage we say, "The Lord is my helper.
+ I will not fear. What can man do to me?"{Psalm 118:6-7}
+013:007 Remember your leaders, men who spoke to you the word of God,
+ and considering the results of their conduct, imitate their faith.
+013:008 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
+013:009 Don't be carried away by various and strange teachings, for it
+ is good that the heart be established by grace, not by food,
+ through which those who were so occupied were not benefited.
+013:010 We have an altar from which those who serve the holy tabernacle
+ have no right to eat.
+013:011 For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into
+ the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin,
+ are burned outside of the camp.{Leviticus 16:27}
+013:012 Therefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people through
+ his own blood, suffered outside of the gate.
+013:013 Let us therefore go out to him outside of the camp,
+ bearing his reproach.
+013:014 For we don't have here an enduring city, but we seek that
+ which is to come.
+013:015 Through him, then, let us offer up a sacrifice of praise
+ to God{Psalm 50:23} continually, that is, the fruit of lips
+ which proclaim allegiance to his name.
+013:016 But don't forget to be doing good and sharing, for with such
+ sacrifices God is well pleased.
+013:017 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch
+ on behalf of your souls, as those who will give account,
+ that they may do this with joy, and not with groaning,
+ for that would be unprofitable for you.
+013:018 Pray for us, for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience,
+ desiring to live honorably in all things.
+013:019 I strongly urge you to do this, that I may be restored
+ to you sooner.
+013:020 Now may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great
+ shepherd of the sheep with the blood of an eternal covenant,
+ our Lord Jesus,
+013:021 make you complete in every good work to do his will, working in you
+ that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ,
+ to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
+013:022 But I exhort you, brothers, endure the word of exhortation,
+ for I have written to you in few words.
+013:023 Know that our brother Timothy has been freed, with whom,
+ if he comes shortly, I will see you.
+013:024 Greet all of your leaders and all the saints.
+ The Italians greet you.
+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.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
