-
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.
-
How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation, which at the first began to be preached by the Lord, and afterward was confirmed unto us by them that heard him.
-
For he hath not put in subjection unto the Angels the world to come, whereof we speak.
-
Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. And in that he hath put all things in subjection under him, he left nothing that should not be subject unto him. But we yet see not all things subdued unto him,
-
For he that sanctifieth, and they which are sanctified, are all of one: wherefore he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
-
And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold, here am I, and the children which God hath given me.
-
Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part with them, that he might destroy through death, him that had the power of death, that is, the devil,
-
And that he might deliver all them, which for fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
-
For in that he suffered, and was tempted, he is able to succor them that are tempted.
-
But with whom was he displeased forty years? Was he not displeased with them that sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?
-
And to whom swear he that they should not enter into his rest, but unto them that obeyed not?
-
1 He joineth exhortation with threatening, lest they, even as their fathers were be deprived of the rest offered unto them, 11 but that they endeavor to enter into it. 14 And so he beginneth to entreat of Christ’s Priesthood. Let us fear therefore, lest at any time by forsaking the promise of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to be deprived.
-
For unto us was the Gospel preached as also unto them: but the word that they heard, profited not them, because it was not mixed with faith in those that heard it.
-
For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not after this have spoken of another day.
-
For the word of God is lively, and mighty in operation, and sharper than any two edged sword, and entereth through, even unto the dividing asunder of the soul and the spirit, and of the joints, and the marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts, and the intents of the heart.
-
Which is able sufficiently to have compassion on them that are ignorant, and that are out of the way, because that he also is compassed with infirmity,
-
And being consecrated, was made the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him:
-
But strong meat belongeth to them that are of age, which through long custom have their wits exercised, to discern both good and evil.
-
1 He briefly toucheth the childish slothfulness of the Hebrews, 4 and terrifieth them with severe threatenings: 7 He stirreth them up to endeavor in time to go forward: 9 He hopeth well of them: 13 He allegeth Abraham’s example: 17 and compareth faith that taketh hold on the word, 19 unto an anchor. Therefore, leaving the doctrine of the beginning of Christ, let us be led forward unto perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
-
If they fall away, should be renewed again by repentance: seeing they crucify again to themselves the Son of God, and make a mock of him.
-
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 of God.
-
That ye be not slothful, but followers of them, which through faith and patience, inherit the promises.
-
For men verily swear by him that is greater than themselves, and an oath for confirmation is among them an end of all strife.
-
1 He hath hitherto stirred them up, to mark diligently what things are to be considered in Melchizedek, 15 wherein he is like unto Christ. 20 Wherefore the Law should give place to the Gospel. For this Melchizedek was King of Salem, the Priest of the most high God, who met Abraham, as he returned from the slaughter of the Kings, and blessed him:
-
But he whose kindred is not counted among them, received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
