This, after having first + of all been announced by the Lord Himself, had its truth made + sure to us by those who heard Him, +002:004 while God corroborated their testimony by signs and marvels + and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit + distributed in accordance with His own will. +002:005 It is not to angels that God has assigned the sovereignty + of that coming world, of which we speak. +002:006 But, as we know, a writer has solemnly said, "How poor a creature + is man, and yet Thou dost remember him, and a son of man, + and yet Thou dost come to him! +002:007 Thou hast made him only a little inferior to the angels; + with glory and honour Thou hast crowned him, and hast set + him to govern the works of Thy hands. +002:008 Thou hast put everything in subjection under his feet." + For this subjecting of the universe to man implies the leaving + nothing not subject to him. But we do not as yet see + the universe subject to him. +002:009 But Jesus--who was made a little inferior to the angels in order + that through God's grace He might taste death for every + human being--we already see wearing a crown of glory and honour + because of His having suffered death. +002:010 For it was fitting that He for whom, and through whom, + all things exist, after He had brought many sons to glory, + should perfect by suffering the Prince Leader who had saved them. +002:011 For both He who sanctifies and those whom He is sanctifying + have all one Father; and for this reason He is not ashamed + to speak of them as His brothers; +002:012 as when He says: "I will proclaim Thy name to My brothers: + in the midst of the congregation I will hymn Thy praises;" +002:013 and again, "As for Me, I will be one whose trust reposes in God;" + and again, "Here am I, and here are the children God + has given Me." +002:014 Since then the children referred to are all alike sharers + in perishable human nature, He Himself also, in the same way, + took on Him a share of it, in order that through death He + might render powerless him who had authority over death, + that is, the Devil, +002:015 and might set at liberty all those who through fear of death + had been subject to lifelong slavery. +002:016 For assuredly it is not to angels that He is continually reaching + a helping hand, but it is to the descendants of Abraham. +002:017 And for this purpose it was necessary that in all respects He + should be made to resemble His brothers, so that He might become + a compassionate and faithful High Priest in things relating + to God, in order to atone for the sins of the people. +002:018 For inasmuch as He has Himself felt the pain of temptation + and trial, He is also able instantly to help those who are + tempted and tried. +003:001 Therefore, holy brethren, sharers with others in a + heavenly invitation, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the Apostle + and High Priest whose followers we profess to be. +003:002 How faithful He was to Him who appointed Him, just as Moses + also was faithful in all God's house! +003:003 For Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, + in so far as he who has built a house has higher honour + than the house itself. +003:004 For every house has had a builder, and the builder of all + things is God. +003:005 Moreover, Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant + in delivering the message given him to speak; +003:006 but Christ was faithful as a Son having authority over God's house, + and we are that house, if we hold firm to the End the boldness + and the hope which we boast of as ours. +003:007 For this reason--as the Holy Spirit warns us, "To-day, if you + hear His voice, +003:008 do not harden your hearts as your forefathers did in the time + of the provocation on the day of the temptation in the Desert, +003:009 where your forefathers so sorely tried My patience and saw + all that I did during forty years. +003:010 Therefore I was greatly grieved with that generation, and I said, + `They are ever going astray in heart, and have not learnt + to know My paths.' +003:011 As I swore in My anger, they shall not be admitted to My rest"-- +003:012 see to it, brethren, that there is never in any one of you-- + as perhaps there may be--a sinful and unbelieving heart, + manifesting itself in revolt from the ever-living God. +003:013 On the contrary encourage one another, day after day, so long + as To-day lasts, so that not one of you may be hardened + through the deceitful character of sin. +003:014 For we have, all alike, become sharers with Christ, if we + really hold our first confidence firm to the End; +003:015 seeing that the warning still comes to us, "To-day, if you + hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as your forefathers + did in the time of the provocation." +003:016 For who were they that heard, and yet provoked God? Was it + not the whole of the people who had come out of Egypt under + the leadership of Moses? +003:017 And with whom was God so greatly grieved for forty years? + Was it not with those who had sinned, and whose dead bodies + fell in the Desert? +003:018 And to whom did He swear that they should not be admitted + to His rest, if it was not to those who were disobedient? +003:019 And so we see that it was owing to lack of faith that they + could not be admitted. +004:001 Therefore let us be on our guard lest perhaps, while He + still leaves us a promise of being admitted to His rest, + some one of you should be found to have fallen short of it. +004:002 For Good News has been brought to us as truly as to them; + but the message they heard failed to benefit them, because they + were not one in faith with those who gave heed to it. +004:003 We who have believed are soon to be admitted to the true rest; + as He has said, "As I swore in My anger, they shall not be + admitted to My rest," although God's works had been going + on ever since the creation of the world. +004:004 For, as we know, when speaking of the seventh day He has + used the words, "And God rested on the seventh day from + all His works;" +004:005 and He has also declared, "They shall not be admitted to My rest." +004:006 Since, then, it is still true that some will be admitted to + that rest, and that because of disobedience those who formerly + had Good News proclaimed to them were not admitted, +004:007 He again definitely mentions a certain day, "To-day," + saying long afterwards, by David's lips, in the words + already quoted, "To-day, if you hear His voice, do not + harden your hearts." +004:008 For if Joshua had given them the true rest, we should not + afterwards hear God speaking of another still future day. +004:009 It follows that there still remains a sabbath rest for the + people of God. +004:010 For He who has been admitted to His rest, has rested from His + works as God did from His. +004:011 Let it then be our earnest endeavour to be admitted to that rest, + so that no one may perish through following the same + example of unbelief. +004:012 For God's Message is full of life and power, and is keener + than the sharpest two-edged sword. It pierces even to + the severance of soul from spirit, and penetrates between + the joints and the marrow, and it can discern the secret + thoughts and purposes of the heart. +004:013 And no created thing is able to escape its scrutiny; + but everything lies bare and completely exposed before the eyes + of Him with whom we have to do. +004:014 Inasmuch, then, as we have in Jesus, the Son of God, + a great High Priest who has passed into Heaven itself, + let us hold firmly to our profession of faith. +004:015 For we have not a High Priest who is unable to feel for us + in our weaknesses, but one who was tempted in every respect + just as we are tempted, and yet did not sin. +004:016 Therefore let us come boldly to the throne of grace, + that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our + times of need. +005:001 For every High Priest is chosen from among men, and is + appointed to act on behalf of men in matters relating to God, + in order to offer both gifts and sin-offerings, +005:002 and must be one who is able to bear patiently with the ignorant + and erring, because he himself also is beset with infirmity. +005:003 And for this reason he is required to offer sin-offerings + not only for the people but also for himself. +005:004 And no one takes this honourable office upon himself, + but only accepts it when called to it by God, as Aaron was. +005:005 So Christ also did not claim for Himself the honour of being + made High Priest, but was appointed to it by Him who said + to Him, "My Son art Thou: I have to-day become Thy Father;" +005:006 as also in another passage He says, "Thou art a priest for ever, + belonging to the order of Melchizedek." +005:007 For Jesus during his earthly life offered up prayers and entreaties, + crying aloud and weeping as He pleaded with Him who was able + to bring Him in safety out of death, and He was delivered + from the terror from which He shrank. +005:008 Although He was God's Son, yet He learned obedience from + the sufferings which He endured; +005:009 and so, having been made perfect, He became to all who obey + Him the source and giver of eternal salvation. +005:010 For God Himself addresses Him as a High Priest for ever, + belonging to the order of Melchizedek. +005:011 Concerning Him we have much to say, and much that it would + be difficult to make clear to you, since you have become + so dull of apprehension. +005:012 For although, considering the long time you have been believers, + you ought now to be teachers of others, you really need some one + to teach you over again the very rudiments of the truths of God, + and you have come to require milk instead of solid food. +005:013 By people who live on milk I mean those who are imperfectly + acquainted with the teaching concerning righteousness. +005:014 Such persons are mere babes. But solid food is for adults-- + that is, for those who through constant practice have + their spiritual faculties carefully trained to distinguish + good from evil. +006:001 Therefore leaving elementary instruction about the Christ, + let us advance to mature manhood and not be continually + re-laying a foundation of repentance from lifeless works + and of faith in God, +006:002 or of teaching about ceremonial washings, the laying on of hands, + the resurrection of the dead, and the last judgement. +006:003 And advance we will, if God permits us to do so. +006:004 For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once for all + been enlightened, and have tasted the sweetness of the heavenly gift, + and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, +006:005 and have realized how good the word of God is and how mighty + are the powers of the coming Age, and then fell away-- +006:006 it is impossible, I say, to keep bringing them back to a + new repentance, for, to their own undoing, they are repeatedly + crucifying the Son of God afresh and exposing Him to open shame. +006:007 For land which has drunk in the rain that often falls upon it, + and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sakes, + indeed, it is tilled, has a share in God's blessing. +006:008 But if it only yields a mass of thorns and briers, it is + considered worthless, and is in danger of being cursed, + and in the end will be destroyed by fire. +006:009 But we, even while we speak in this tone, have a happier + conviction concerning you, my dearly-loved friends-- + a conviction of things which point towards salvation. +006:010 For God is not unjust so that He is unmindful of your labour and + of the love which you have manifested towards Himself in having + rendered services to His people and in still rendering them. +006:011 But we long for each of you to continue to manifest + the same earnestness, with a view to your enjoying fulness + of hope to the very End; +006:012 so that you may not become half-hearted, but be imitators + of those who through faith and patient endurance are now heirs + to the promises. +006:013 For when God gave the promise to Abraham, since He had no one + greater to swear by, He swore by Himself, +006:014 saying, "Assuredly I will bless you and bless you, I will + increase you and increase you." +006:015 And so, as the result of patient waiting, our forefather + obtained what God had promised. +006:016 For men swear by what is greater than themselves; and with them + an oath in confirmation of a statement always puts an end + to a dispute. +006:017 In the same way, since it was God's desire to display more + convincingly to the heirs of the promise how unchangeable + His purpose was, +006:018 He added an oath, in order that, through two unchangeable things, + in which it is impossible for Him to prove false, + we may possess mighty encouragement--we who, for safety, + have hastened to lay hold of the hope set before us. +006:019 That hope we have as an anchor of the soul--an anchor that can + neither break nor drag. It passes in behind the veil, +006:020 where Jesus has entered as a forerunner on our behalf, + having become, like Melchizedek, a High Priest for ever. +007:001 For this man, Melchizedek, King of Salem and priest of + the Most High God--he who when Abraham was returning after + defeating the kings met him and pronounced a blessing on him-- +007:002 to whom also Abraham presented a tenth part of all-- + being first, as his name signifies, King of righteousness, + and secondly King of Salem, that is, King of peace: +007:003 with no father or mother, and no record of ancestry: + having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made + a type of the Son of God--this man Melchizedek remains + a priest for ever. +007:004 Now think how great this priest-king must have been to whom Abraham + the patriarch gave a tenth part of the best of the spoil. +007:005 And those of the descendants of Levi who receive the priesthood + are authorized by the Law to take tithes from the people, that is, + from their brethren, though these have sprung from Abraham. +007:006 But, in this instance, one who does not trace his origin from + them takes tithes from Abraham, and pronounces a blessing + on him to whom the promises belong. +007:007 And beyond all dispute it is always the inferior who is blessed + by the superior. +007:008 Moreover here frail mortal men receive tithes: there one + receives them about whom there is evidence that he is alive. +007:009 And Levi too--if I may so speak--pays tithes through Abraham: +007:010 for Levi was yet in the loins of his forefather when + Melchizedek met Abraham. +007:011 Now if the crowning blessing was attainable by means of + the Levitical priesthood--for as resting on this foundation + the people received the Law, to which they are still subject-- + what further need was there for a Priest of a different kind + to be raised up belonging to the order of Melchizedek instead + of being said to belong to the order of Aaron? +007:012 For when the priesthood changes, a change of Law also of + necessity takes place. +007:013 He, however, to whom that prophecy refers is associated + with a different tribe, not one member of which has anything + to do with the altar. +007:014 For it is undeniable that our Lord sprang from Judah, a tribe + of which Moses said nothing in connection with priests. +007:015 And this is still more abundantly clear when we read that it + is as belonging to the order of Melchizedek that a priest + of a different kind is to arise, +007:016 and hold His office not in obedience to any temporary Law, + but by virtue of an indestructible Life. +007:017 For the words are in evidence, "Thou art a priest for ever, + belonging to the order of Melchizedek." +007:018 On the one hand we have here the abrogation of an earlier code + because it was weak and ineffective-- +007:019 for the Law brought no perfect blessing--but on the other hand + we have the bringing in of a new and better hope by means + of which we draw near to God. +007:020 And since it was not without an oath being taken-- +007:021 for these men hold office without any oath having been taken, + but He holds it attested by an oath from Him who said + to Him, "The Lord has sworn and will not recall His words, + Thou art a Priest for ever"-- +007:022 so much the more also is the Covenant of which Jesus has become + the guarantor, a better covenant. +007:023 And they have been appointed priests many in number, + because death prevents their continuance in office: +007:024 but He, because He continues for ever, has a priesthood + which does not pass to any successor. +007:025 Hence too He is able to save to the uttermost those who come + to God through Him, seeing that He ever lives to plead for them. +007:026 Moreover we needed just such a High Priest as this-- + holy, guileless, undefiled, far removed from sinful men + and exalted above the heavens; +007:027 who, unlike other High Priests, is not under the necessity + of offering up sacrifices day after day, first for His own sins, + and afterwards for those of the people; for this latter thing + He did once for all when He offered up Himself. +007:028 For the Law constitutes men High Priests--men with all + their infirmity--but the utterance of the oath, which came + later than the Law, constitutes High Priest a Son who has + been made for ever perfect. +008:001 Now in connexion with what we have been saying the chief point + is that we have a High Priest who has taken His seat at + the right hand of the throne of God's Majesty in the heavens, +008:002 and ministers in the Holy place and in the true tabernacle + which not man, but the Lord pitched. +008:003 Every High Priest, however, is appointed to offer both bloodless + gifts and sacrifices. Therefore this High Priest also must + have some offering to present. +008:004 If then He were still on earth, He would not be a priest at all, + since here there are already those who present the offerings + in obedience to the Law, +008:005 and serve a copy and type of the heavenly things, just as Moses + was divinely instructed when about to build the tabernacle. + For God said, "See that you make everything in imitation + of the pattern shown you on the mountain." +008:006 But, as a matter of fact, the ministry which Christ has + obtained is all the nobler a ministry, in that He is at + the same time the negotiator of a sublimer covenant, + based upon sublimer promises. +008:007 For if that first Covenant had been free from imperfection, + there would have been no attempt to introduce another. +008:008 For, being dissatisfied with His people, God says, "`There are + days coming,' says the Lord, `When I will establish with the house + of Israel and with the house of Judah a new Covenant-- +008:009 a Covenant unlike the one which I made with their forefathers + on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out from + the land of Egypt; for they would not remain faithful to that.' + `So I turned from them,' says the Lord. +008:010 `But this is the Covenant that I will covenant with the house + of Israel after those days,' says the Lord: I will put My + laws into their minds and will write them upon their hearts. + And I will indeed be their God and they shall be My People. +008:011 And there shall be no need for them to teach each one his fellow + citizen and each one his brother, saying, Know the Lord. + For all will know Me from the least of them to the greatest; +008:012 Because I will be merciful to their wrongdoings, and their sins + I will remember no longer.'" +008:013 By using the words, "a new Covenant," He has made the first + one obsolete; but whatever is decaying and showing signs + of old age is not far from disappearing altogether. +009:001 Now even the first Covenant had regulations for divine worship, + and had also its sanctuary--a sanctuary belonging to this world. +009:002 For a sacred tent was constructed--the outer one, in which + were the lamp and the table and the presented loaves; + and this is called the Holy place. +009:003 And behind the second veil was a sacred tent called + the Holy of holies. +009:004 This had a censer of gold, and the ark of the Covenant lined + with gold and completely covered with gold, and in it were + a gold vase which held the manna, and Aaron's rod which budded + and the tables of the Covenant. +009:005 And above the ark were the Cherubim denoting God's glorious + presence and overshadowing the Mercy-seat. But I cannot now + speak about all these in detail. +009:006 These arrangements having long been completed, the priests, + when conducting the divine services, continually enter + the outer tent. +009:007 But into the second, the High Priest goes only on one day + of the year, and goes alone, taking with him blood, + which he offers on his own behalf and on account of the sins + which the people have ignorantly committed. +009:008 And the lesson which the Holy Spirit teaches is this-- + that the way into the true Holy place is not yet open so long + as the outer tent still remains in existence. +009:009 And this is a figure--for the time now present--answering to + which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, unable though they + are to give complete freedom from sin to him who ministers. +009:010 For their efficacy depends only on meats and drinks and + various washings, ceremonies pertaining to the body and imposed + until a time of reformation. +009:011 But Christ appeared as a High Priest of the blessings that are + soon to come by means of the greater and more perfect Tent + of worship, a tent which has not been built with hands-- + that is to say does not belong to this material creation-- +009:012 and once for all entered the Holy place, taking with Him + not the blood of goats and calves, but His own blood, + and thus procuring eternal redemption for us. +009:013 For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer + sprinkling those who have contracted defilement make them + holy so as to bring about ceremonial purity, +009:014 how much more certainly shall the blood of Christ, + who strengthened by the eternal Spirit offered Himself to God, + free from blemish, purify your consciences from lifeless + works for you to serve the ever-living God? +009:015 And because of this He is the negotiator of a new Covenant, + in order that, since a life has been given in atonement + for the offences committed under the first Covenant, + those who have been called may receive the eternal inheritance + which has been promised to them. +009:016 For where there is a legal `will,' there must also be a death + brought forward in evidence--the death of him who made it. +009:017 And a will is only of force in the case of a deceased person, + being never of any avail so long as he who made it lives. +009:018 Accordingly we find that the first Covenant was not + inaugurated without blood. +009:019 For when Moses had proclaimed to all the people every commandment + contained in the Law, he took the blood of the calves and + of the goats and with them water, scarlet wool and hyssop, + and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, +009:020 saying, "This is the blood which confirms the Covenant that God + has made binding upon you." +009:021 And in the same way he also sprinkled blood upon the Tent + of worship and upon all the vessels used in the ministry. +009:022 Indeed we may almost say that in obedience to the Law everything + is sprinkled with blood, and that apart from the outpouring + of blood there is no remission of sins. +009:023 It was needful therefore that the copies of the things in Heaven + should be cleansed in this way, but that the heavenly things + themselves should be cleansed with more costly sacrifices. +009:024 For not into a Holy place built by men's hands--a mere copy + of the reality--did Christ enter, but He entered Heaven itself, + now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. +009:025 Nor did He enter for the purpose of many times offering Himself + in sacrifice, just as the High Priest enters the Holy place, + year after year, taking with him blood not his own. +009:026 In that case Christ would have needed to suffer many times, + from the creation of the world onwards; but as a matter of fact + He has appeared once for all, at the Close of the Ages, + in order to do away with sin by the sacrifice of Himself. +009:027 And since it is reserved for all mankind once to die, + and afterwards to be judged; +009:028 so the Christ also, having been once offered in sacrifice in order + that He might bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, + separated from sin, to those who are eagerly expecting Him, + to make their salvation complete. +010:001 For, since the Law exhibits only an outline of the blessings + to come and not a perfect representation of the things themselves, + the priests can never, by repeating the same sacrifices + which they continually offer year after year, give complete + freedom from sin to those who draw near. +010:002 For then would not the sacrifices have ceased to be offered, + because the consciences of the worshippers--who in that case + would now have been cleansed once for all--would no longer + be burdened with sins? +010:003 But in those sacrifices sins are recalled to memory year after year. +010:004 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to + take away sins. +010:005 That is why, when He comes into the world, He says, + "Sacrifice and offering Thou has not desired, but a body Thou + hast prepared for Me. +010:006 In whole burnt-offerings and in sin-offerings Thou hast + taken no pleasure. +010:007 Then I said, `I have come--in the roll of the book it is written + concerning Me--to do Thy will, O God.'" +010:008 After saying the words I have just quoted, "Sacrifices and + offerings or whole burnt-offerings and sin-offerings Thou hast + not desired or taken pleasure in"--all such being offered + in obedience to the Law-- +010:009 He then adds, "I have come to do Thy will." He does away + with the first in order to establish the second. +010:010 It is through that divine will that we have been set free + from sin, through the offering of Jesus Christ as our sacrifice + once for all. +010:011 And while every priest stands ministering, day after day, + and constantly offering the same sacrifices--though such can + never rid us of our sins-- +010:012 this Priest, on the contrary, after offering for sins + a single sacrifice of perpetual efficacy, took His seat + at God's right hand, +010:013 waiting from that time onward until His enemies be put as a + footstool under His feet. +010:014 For by a single offering He has for ever completed the blessing + for those whom He is setting free from sin. +010:015 And the Holy Spirit also gives us His testimony; for when + He had said, +010:016 "`This is the Covenant that I will make with them after those days,' + says the Lord: `I will put My laws upon their hearts and will + write them on their minds;'" +010:017 He adds, "And their sins and offences I will remember no longer." +010:018 But where these have been forgiven no further offering for + sin is required. +010:019 Since then, brethren, we have free access to the Holy place + through the blood of Jesus, +010:020 by the new and ever-living way which He opened up for us through + the rending of the veil--that is to say, of His earthly nature-- +010:021 and since we have a great Priest who has authority over + the house of God, +010:022 let us draw near with sincerity and unfaltering faith, + having had our hearts sprinkled, once for all, from consciences + oppressed with sin, and our bodies bathed in pure water. +010:023 Let us hold firmly to an unflinching avowal of our hope, + for He is faithful who gave us the promises. +010:024 And let us bestow thought on one another with a view to arousing + one another to brotherly love and right conduct; +010:025 not neglecting--as some habitually do--to meet together, + but encouraging one another, and doing this all the more + since you can see the day of Christ approaching. +010:026 For if we wilfully persist in sin after having received the full + knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains in reserve + any other sacrifice for sins. +010:027 There remains nothing but a certain awful expectation of judgement, + and the fury of a fire which before long will devour the enemies + of the truth. +010:028 Any one who bids defiance to the Law of Moses is put to death + without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. +010:029 How much severer punishment, think you, will he be held to deserve + who has trampled under foot the Son of God, has not regarded + as holy that Covenant-blood with which he was set free from sin, + and has insulted the Spirit from whom comes grace? +010:030 For we know who it is that has said, "Vengeance belongs + to Me: I will pay back;" and again, "The Lord will be + His people's judge." +010:031 It is an awful thing to fall into the hands of the ever-living God. +010:032 But continually recall to mind the days now past, when on + being first enlightened you went through a great conflict + and many sufferings. +010:033 This was partly through allowing yourselves to be made + a public spectacle amid reproaches and persecutions, + and partly through coming forward to share the sufferings + of those who were thus treated. +010:034 For you not only showed sympathy with those who were imprisoned, + but you even submitted with joy when your property was taken + from you, being well aware that you have in your own selves + a more valuable possession and one which will remain. +010:035 Therefore do not cast from you your confident hope, for it + will receive a vast reward. +010:036 For you stand in need of patient endurance, so that, + as the result of having done the will of God, you may receive + the promised blessing. +010:037 For there is still but a short time and then "The coming One + will come and will not delay. +010:038 But it is by faith that My righteous servant shall live; + and if he shrinks back, My soul takes no pleasure in him." +010:039 But we are not people who shrink back and perish, but are among + those who believe and gain possession of their souls. +011:001 Now faith is a well-grounded assurance of that for which we hope, + and a conviction of the reality of things which we do not see. +011:002 For by it the saints of old won God's approval. +011:003 Through faith we understand that the worlds came into being, + and still exist, at the command of God, so that what is seen + does not owe its existence to that which is visible. +011:004 Through faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice + than Cain did, and through this faith he obtained testimony + that he was righteous, God giving the testimony by accepting + his gifts; and through it, though he is dead, he still speaks. +011:005 Through faith Enoch was taken from the earth so that he did + not see death, and he could not be found, because God + had taken him; for before he was taken we have evidence + that he truly pleased God. +011:006 But where there is no faith it is impossible truly to please Him; + for the man who draws near to God must believe that there + is a God and that He proves Himself a rewarder of those who + earnestly try to find Him. +011:007 Through faith Noah, being divinely taught about things as yet unseen, + reverently gave heed and built an ark for the safety of his family, + and by this act he condemned the world, and became an heir + of the righteousness which depends on faith. +011:008 Through faith Abraham, upon being called to leave home and go into + a land which he was soon to receive for an inheritance, obeyed; + and he went out, not knowing where he was going to. +011:009 Through faith he came and made his home for a time in a land + which had been promised to him, as if in a foreign country, + living in tents together with Isaac and Jacob, sharers with him + in the same promise; +011:010 for he continually looked forward to the city which has + the foundations, whose architect and builder is God. +011:011 Through faith even Sarah herself received strength to become + a mother--although she was past the time of life for this-- + because she judged Him faithful who had given the promise. +011:012 And thus there sprang from one man, and him practically dead, + a nation like the stars of the sky in number, and like the sands + on the sea shore which cannot be counted. +011:013 All these died in the possession of faith. They had not received + the promised blessings, but had seen them from a distance + and had greeted them, and had acknowledged themselves to be + foreigners and strangers here on earth; +011:014 for men who acknowledge this make it manifest that they are + seeking elsewhere a country of their own. +011:015 And if they had cherished the remembrance of the country they + had left, they would have found an opportunity to return; +011:016 but, as it is, we see them eager for a better land, that is to say, + a heavenly one. For this reason God is not ashamed to be + called their God, for He has now prepared a city for them. +011:017 Through faith Abraham, as soon as God put him to the test, + offered up Isaac. Yes, he who had joyfully welcomed the promises + was on the point of sacrificing his only son +011:018 with regard to whom he had been told, "It is through Isaac + that your posterity shall be traced." +011:019 For he reckoned that God is even able to raise a man up from + among the dead, and, figuratively speaking, it was from among + the dead that he received Isaac again. +011:020 Through faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even in connexion + with things soon to come. +011:021 Through faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of Joseph's sons, + and, leaning on the top of his staff, worshipped God. +011:022 Through faith Joseph, when he was near his end, made mention + of the departure of the descendants of Israel, and gave orders + about his own body. +011:023 Through faith the child Moses was hid for three months by + his parents, because they saw his rare beauty; and the king's + edict had no terror for them. +011:024 Through faith Moses, when he grew to manhood, refused to be + known as Pharaoh's daughter's son, +011:025 having determined to endure ill-treatment along with the people + of God rather than enjoy the short-lived pleasures of sin; +011:026 because he deemed the reproaches which he might meet + with in the service of the Christ to be greater riches + than all the treasures of Egypt; for he fixed his gaze on + the coming reward. +011:027 Through faith he left Egypt, not being frightened by the king's anger; + for he held on his course as seeing the unseen One. +011:028 Through faith he instituted the Passover, and the sprinkling + with blood so that the destroyer of the firstborn might not + touch the Israelites. +011:029 Through faith they passed through the Red Sea as though they + were passing over dry land, but the Egyptians, when they + tried to do the same, were swallowed up. +011:030 Through faith the walls of Jericho fell to the ground after + being surrounded for seven days. +011:031 Through faith the notorious sinner Rahab did not perish + along with the disobedient, for she had welcomed the spies + and had sheltered them. +011:032 And why need I say more? For time will fail me if I tell + the story of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, and of David + and Samuel and the Prophets; +011:033 men who, as the result of faith, conquered whole kingdoms, + brought about true justice, obtained promises from God, + stopped lions' mouths, +011:034 deprived fire of its power, escaped being killed by the sword, + out of weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, + put to flight foreign armies. +011:035 Women received back their dear ones alive from the dead; + and others were put to death with torture, refusing the deliverance + offered to them--that they might secure a better resurrection. +011:036 Others again were tested by cruel mockery and by scourging; + yes, and by chains and imprisonment. +011:037 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were + tried by temptation, they were killed with the sword. + They went from place to place in sheepskins or goatskins, + enduring want, oppression and cruelty. +011:038 (They were men of whom the world was not worthy.) + They wandered across deserts and mountains, or hid themselves + in caves and in holes in the ground. +011:039 And although by their faith all these people won God's approval, + none of them received the fulfilment of His great promise; +011:040 for God had provided for them and us something better, so that + apart from us they were not to attain to full blessedness. +012:001 Therefore, surrounded as we are by such a vast cloud of witnesses, + let us fling aside every encumbrance and the sin that so readily + entangles our feet. And let us run with patient endurance + the race that lies before us, +012:002 simply fixing our gaze upon Jesus, our Prince Leader in the faith, + who will also award us the prize. He, for the sake of the joy + which lay before Him, patiently endured the cross, looking with + contempt upon its shame, and afterwards seated Himself-- + where He still sits--at the right hand of the throne of God. +012:003 Therefore, if you would escape becoming weary and faint-hearted, + compare your own sufferings with those of Him who endured + such hostility directed against Him by sinners. +012:004 In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted so as + to endanger your lives; +012:005 and you have quite forgotten the encouraging words which are + addressed to you as sons, and which say, "My son, do not + think lightly of the Lord's discipline, and do not faint + when He corrects you; +012:006 for those whom the Lord loves He disciplines: and He scourges + every son whom He acknowledges." +012:007 The sufferings that you are enduring are for your discipline. + God is dealing with you as sons; for what son is there whom + his father does not discipline? +012:008 And if you are left without discipline, of which every true + son has had a share, that shows that you are bastards, + and not true sons. +012:009 Besides this, our earthly fathers used to discipline us and we + treated them with respect, and shall we not be still more + submissive to the Father of our spirits, and live? +012:010 It is true that they disciplined us for a few years according + as they thought fit; but He does it for our certain good, + in order that we may become sharers in His own holy character. +012:011 Now, at the time, discipline seems to be a matter not for joy, + but for grief; yet it afterwards yields to those who have passed + through its training a result full of peace--namely, righteousness. +012:012 Therefore strengthen the drooping hands and paralysed knees, +012:013 and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame + may not be put entirely out of joint +012:014 but may rather be restored. Persistently strive for peace + with all men, and for that growth in holiness apart from + which no one will see the Lord. +012:015 Be carefully on your guard lest there be any one who falls + back from the grace of God; lest any root bearing bitter + fruit spring up and cause trouble among you, and through it + the whole brotherhood be defiled; +012:016 lest there be a fornicator, or an ungodly person like Esau, + who, in return for a single meal, parted with the birthright + which belonged to him. +012:017 For you know that even afterwards, when he wished to secure + the blessing, he was rejected; for he found no opportunity + for undoing what he had done, though he sought the blessing + earnestly with tears. +012:018 For you have not come to a material object all ablaze with fire, + and to gloom and darkness and storm and trumpet-blast and + the sound of words-- +012:019 a sound of such a kind that those who heard it entreated + that no more should be added. +012:020 For they could not endure the order which had been given, + "Even a wild beast, if it touches the mountain, shall be + stoned to death;" +012:021 and so terrible was the scene that Moses said, "I tremble with fear." +012:022 On the contrary you have come to Mount Zion, and to the city + of the ever-living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to countless + hosts of angels, +012:023 to the great festal gathering and Church of the first-born, + whose names are recorded in Heaven, and to a Judge who is God + of all, and to the spirits of righteous men made perfect, +012:024 and to Jesus the negotiator of a new Covenant, and to the sprinkled + blood which speaks in more gracious tones than that of Abel. +012:025 Be careful not to refuse to listen to Him who is speaking to you. + For if they of old did not escape unpunished when they refused + to listen to him who spoke on earth, much less shall we escape + who turn a deaf ear to Him who now speaks from Heaven. +012:026 His voice then shook the earth, but now we have His promise, + "Yet again I will, once for all, cause not only the earth + to tremble, but Heaven also." +012:027 Here the words "Yet again, once for all" denote the removal + of the things which can be shaken--created things--in order + that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. +012:028 Therefore, receiving, as we now do, a kingdom which cannot + be shaken, let us cherish thankfulness so that we may ever offer + to God an acceptable service, with godly reverence and awe. +012:029 For our God is also a consuming fire. +013:001 Let brotherly love always continue. +013:002 Do not neglect to show kindness to strangers; for, in this way, + some, without knowing it, have had angels as their guests. +013:003 Remember prisoners, as if you were in prison with them; + and remember those suffering ill-treatment, for you yourselves + also are still in the body. +013:004 Let marriage be held in honour among all, and let the marriage bed + be unpolluted; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge. +013:005 Your lives should be untainted by love for money. Be content + with what you have; for God Himself has said, "I will never, + never let go your hand: I will never never forsake you." +013:006 So that we fearlessly say, "The Lord is my helper; I will not + be afraid: what can man do to me?" +013:007 Remember your former leaders--it was they who brought you + God's Message. Bear in mind how they ended their lives, + and imitate their faith. +013:008 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and to-day--yes, and to + the ages to come. +013:009 Do not be drawn aside by all sorts of strange teaching; for it + is well to have the heart made stedfast through God's grace, + and not by special kinds of food, from which those who + scrupulously attend to them have derived no benefit. +013:010 We Christians have an altar from which the ministers of + the Jewish Tent have no right to eat. +013:011 For the bodies of those animals of which the blood is carried + by the High Priest into the Holy place as an offering for sin, + are burned outside the camp. +013:012 And for this reason Jesus also, in order, by His own blood, + to set the people free from sin, suffered outside the gate. +013:013 Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp, sharing the insults + directed against Him. +013:014 For we have no permanent city here, but we are longing for + the city which is soon to be ours. +013:015 Through Him, then, let us continually lay on the altar + a sacrifice of praise to God, namely, the utterance of lips + that give thanks to His Name. +013:016 And do not forget to be kind and liberal; for with sacrifices + of that sort God is greatly pleased. +013:017 Obey your leaders and be submissive to them. For they are keeping + watch over your souls as those who will have to give account; + that they may do this with joy and not with lamentation. + For that would be of no advantage to you. +013:018 Keep on praying for us; for we are sure that we have clear + consciences, and we desire to live nobly in every respect. +013:019 I specially urge this upon you in order that I may be the more + speedily restored to you. +013:020 Now may God who gives peace, and brought Jesus, our Lord, + up again from among the dead--even Him who, by virtue + of the blood of the eternal Covenant, is the great Shepherd + of the sheep-- +013:021 fully equip you with every grace that you may need for the doing + of His will, producing in us that which will truly please + Him through Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory to the Ages + of the Ages! Amen. +013:022 Bear with me, brethren, when I thus exhort you; for, in fact, + it is but a short letter that I have written to you. +013:023 You will rejoice to hear that our brother Timothy has been set + at liberty. If he comes soon, I will see you with him. +013:024 Greet all your leaders and all God's people. The brethren + from Italy send you greetings. +013:025 Grace be with you all!
