GodG2316, who at sundry timesG4181 andG2532 in divers mannersG4187 spakeG2980 in time pastG3819 unto the fathersG3962 byG1722 the prophetsG4396,
HathG2980 inG1909 theseG5130 lastG2078 daysG2250 spokenG2980 unto usG2254 byG1722 his SonG5207, whomG3739 he hath appointedG5087 heirG2818 of all thingsG3956, byG1223 whomG3739 alsoG2532 he madeG4160 the worldsG165;
WhereforeG3606 inG2596 all thingsG3956 it behoved himG3784 to be made likeG3666 unto his brethrenG80, thatG2443 he might beG1096 a mercifulG1655 andG2532 faithfulG4103 high priestG749 in things pertaining toG4314 GodG2316, toG1519 make reconciliation forG2433 the sinsG266 of the peopleG2992.
There remainethG620 thereforeG686 a restG4520 to the peopleG2992 of GodG2316. {rest: or, keeping of a sabbath}
AndG2532 by reasonG1223 hereofG5026 he oughtG3784, asG2531 forG4012 the peopleG2992, soG3779 alsoG2532 forG4012 himselfG1438, to offerG4374 forG5228 sinsG266.
AndG2532 verilyG3303 they that are ofG1537 the sonsG5207 of LeviG3017, whoG3588 receiveG2983 the office of the priesthoodG2405, haveG2192 a commandmentG1785 to take tithesG586 of the peopleG2992 according toG2596 the lawG3551, that isG5123, of theirG846 brethrenG80, thoughG2539 they comeG1831 out ofG1537 the loinsG3751 of AbrahamG11:
IfG1487+G3303 thereforeG3767 perfectionG5050 wereG2258 byG1223 the LeviticalG3020 priesthoodG2420, (forG1063 underG1909 itG846 the peopleG2992 received the lawG3549,) whatG5101 furtherG2089 needG5532 was there that anotherG2087 priestG2409 should riseG450 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of MelchisedecG3198, andG2532 notG3756 be calledG3004 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of AaronG2?
WhoG3739 needethG2192+G318 notG3756 dailyG2596+G2250, asG5618 those high priestsG749, to offer upG399 sacrificeG2378, firstG4386 forG5228 his ownG2398 sinsG266, and thenG1899 for the people'sG2992: forG1063 thisG5124 he didG4160 onceG2178, when he offered upG399 himselfG1438.
ButG1161 yeG5210 are a chosenG1588 generationG1085, a royalG934 priesthoodG2406, an holyG40 nationG1484, a peculiarG1519+G4047 peopleG2992; thatG3704 ye should shew forthG1804 the praisesG703 of him who hath calledG2564 youG5209 out ofG1537 darknessG4655 intoG1519 hisG846 marvellousG2298 lightG5457: {peculiar: or, purchased} {praises: or, virtues}
WhichG3588 in time pastG4218 were notG3756 a peopleG2992, butG1161 are nowG3568 the peopleG2992 of GodG2316: whichG3588 hadG1653 notG3756 obtained mercyG1653, butG1161 nowG3568 have obtained mercyG1653.
ButG1161 there wereG1096 false prophetsG5578 alsoG2532 amongG1722 the peopleG2992, evenG2532 asG5613 there shall beG2071 false teachersG5572 amongG1722 youG5213, whoG3748 privily shall bring inG3919 damnableG684 heresiesG139, evenG2532 denyingG720 the LordG1203 that boughtG59 themG846, and bringG1863 upon themselvesG1438 swiftG5031 destructionG684.
As he saithG3004 alsoG2532 inG1722 OseeG5617, I will callG2564 them myG3450 peopleG2992, which were notG3756 myG3450 peopleG2992; andG2532 her belovedG25, which wasG25 notG3756 belovedG25.
ButG1161 toG4314 IsraelG2474 he saithG3004, AllG3650 day longG2250 I have stretched forthG1600 myG3450 handsG5495 untoG4314 a disobedientG544 andG2532 gainsayingG483 peopleG2992.
I sayG3004 thenG3767+G3361, HathG683 GodG2316 cast awayG683 hisG846 peopleG2992? God forbidG3361+G1096. ForG1063 IG1473 alsoG2532 amG1510 an IsraeliteG2475, ofG1537 the seedG4690 of AbrahamG11, of the tribeG5443 of BenjaminG958.
GodG2316 hathG683 notG3756 cast awayG683 hisG846 peopleG2992 whichG3739 he foreknewG4267+G2228. Wot yeG1492 notG3756 whatG5101 the scriptureG1124 saithG3004 ofG1722 EliasG2243? howG5613 he maketh intercessionG1793 to GodG2316 againstG2596 IsraelG2474, sayingG3004, {of Elias: Gr. in Elias?}
AndG2532 againG3825 he saithG3004, Rejoice, yeG2165 GentilesG1484, withG3326 hisG846 peopleG2992.
NeitherG3366 be yeG1096 idolatersG1496, asG2531 were someG5100 of themG846; asG5613 it is writtenG1125, The peopleG2992 sat downG2523 to eatG5315 andG2532 drinkG4095, andG2532 rose upG450 to playG3815.
InG1722 the lawG3551 it is writtenG1125+G3754, WithG1722 men of other tonguesG2084 andG2532 otherG1722+G2087 lipsG5491 will I speakG2980 unto thisG5129 peopleG2992; andG2532 yet for allG3779 that will theyG1522 notG3761 hearG1522 meG3450, saithG3004 the LordG2962.
AndG1161 whatG5101 agreementG4783 hath the templeG3485 of GodG2316 withG3326 idolsG1497? forG1063 yeG5210 areG2075 the templeG3485 of the livingG2198 GodG2316; asG2531 GodG2316 hath saidG2036+G3754, I will dwellG1774 inG1722 themG846, andG2532 walk inG1704 them; andG2532 I will beG2071 theirG846 GodG2316, andG2532 theyG846 shall beG2071 myG3427 peopleG2992.
WhoG3739 gaveG1325 himselfG1438 forG5228 usG2257, thatG2443 he might redeemG3084 usG2248 fromG575 allG3956 iniquityG458, andG2532 purifyG2511 unto himselfG1438 a peculiarG4041 peopleG2992, zealousG2207 of goodG2570 worksG2041.
ForG1063 I wouldG2309 notG3756, brethrenG80, that yeG5209 should be ignorantG50 of thisG5124 mysteryG3466, lestG3363 ye should beG5600 wiseG5429 inG3844 your own conceitsG1438; thatG3754 blindnessG4457 inG575 partG3313 is happenedG1096 to IsraelG2474, untilG891+G3739 the fulnessG4138 of the GentilesG1484 be come inG1525. {blindness: or, hardness}
There remainethG620 thereforeG686 a restG4520 to the peopleG2992 of GodG2316. {rest: or, keeping of a sabbath}
WhereforeG5105 seeing we alsoG2532 areG2192 compassed aboutG4029+G2254 with so greatG5118 a cloudG3509 of witnessesG3144, letG659 usG2249 lay asideG659 everyG3956 weightG3591, andG2532 the sinG266 which doth so easily besetG2139 us, and let us runG5143 withG1223 patienceG5281 the raceG73 that is set beforeG4295 usG2254,
LookingG872 untoG1519 JesusG2424 the authorG747 andG2532 finisherG5051 of our faithG4102; whoG3739 forG473 the joyG5479 that was set beforeG4295 himG846 enduredG5278 the crossG4716, despisingG2706 the shameG152, andG5037 is set downG2523 atG1722 the right handG1188 of the throneG2362 of GodG2316. {author: or, beginner}
ForG1063 considerG357 him that enduredG5278 suchG5108 contradictionG485 ofG5259 sinnersG268 againstG1519 himselfG846, lestG3363 ye be weariedG2577 and faintG1590 in yourG5216 mindsG5590.
Ye haveG478 not yetG3768 resistedG478 untoG3360 bloodG129, strivingG464 againstG4314 sinG266.
AndG2532 ye have forgottenG1585 the exhortationG3874 whichG3748 speakethG1256 unto youG5213 asG5613 unto childrenG5207, MyG3450 sonG5207, despiseG3643 notG3361 thouG3643 the chasteningG3809 of the LordG2962, norG3366 faintG1590 when thou art rebukedG1651 ofG5259 himG846:
ForG1063 whomG3739 the LordG2962 lovethG25 he chastenethG3811, andG1161 scourgethG3146 everyG3956 sonG5207 whomG3739 he receivethG3858.
IfG1487 ye endureG5278 chasteningG3809, GodG2316 dealethG4374 with youG5213 asG5613 with sonsG5207; forG1063 whatG5101 sonG5207 is heG2076 whomG3739 the fatherG3962 chastenethG3811 notG3756?
ButG1161 ifG1487 ye beG2075 withoutG5565 chastisementG3809, whereofG3739 allG3956 areG1096 partakersG3353, thenG686 are yeG2075 bastardsG3541, andG2532 notG3756 sonsG5207.
FurthermoreG1534+G3303 we have hadG2192 fathersG3962 of ourG2257 fleshG4561 which correctedG3810 us, andG2532 we gave them reverenceG1788: shall weG5293 notG3756 muchG4183 ratherG3123 be in subjectionG5293 unto the FatherG3962 of spiritsG4151, andG2532 liveG2198?
ForG1063 they verilyG3303 forG4314 a fewG3641 daysG2250 chastenedG3811 us afterG2596 their ownG846 pleasureG1380; butG1161 he forG1909 our profitG4851, thatG1519 we might be partakersG3335 of hisG846 holinessG41. {after…: or, as seemed good, or, meet to them}
NowG1161 noG3956+G3756 chasteningG3809 forG4314+G3303 the presentG3918 seemethG1380 to beG1511 joyousG5479, butG235 grievousG3077: neverthelessG1161 afterwardG5305 it yieldethG591 the peaceableG1516 fruitG2590 of righteousnessG1343 unto them which are exercisedG1128 therebyG1223+G846.
WhereforeG1352 lift upG461 the handsG5495 which hang downG3935, andG2532 the feebleG3886 kneesG1119;
AndG2532 makeG4160 straightG3717 pathsG5163 for yourG5216 feetG4228, lest thatG3363 which is lameG5560 be turned out of the wayG1624; butG1161 let itG2390 ratherG3123 be healedG2390. {straight: or, even}
FollowG1377 peaceG1515 withG3326 allG3956 men, andG2532 holinessG38, withoutG5565 whichG3739 no manG3762 shall seeG3700 the LordG2962:
Looking diligentlyG1983 lestG3361 any manG5100 failG5302 ofG575 the graceG5485 of GodG2316; lestG3361 anyG5100 rootG4491 of bitternessG4088 springingG5453 upG507 troubleG1776 you, andG2532 therebyG1223+G5026 manyG4183 be defiledG3392; {fail…: or, fall from}
LestG3361 there be anyG5100 fornicatorG4205, orG2228 profane personG952, asG5613 EsauG2269, whoG3739 forG473 oneG3391 morsel of meatG1035 soldG591 hisG846 birthrightG4415.
ForG1063 ye knowG2467 howG3754 that afterwardG2532+G3347, when he wouldG2309 have inheritedG2816 the blessingG2129, he was rejectedG593: forG1063 he foundG2147 noG3756 placeG5117 of repentanceG3341, thoughG2539 he soughtG1567 itG846 carefullyG1567 withG3326 tearsG1144. {place…: or, way to change his mind}
ForG1063 ye areG4334 notG3756 comeG4334 unto the mountG3735 that might be touchedG5584, andG2532 that burnedG2545 with fireG4442, norG2532 unto blacknessG1105, andG2532 darknessG4655, andG2532 tempestG2366,
AndG2532 the soundG2279 of a trumpetG4536, andG2532 the voiceG5456 of wordsG4487; whichG3739 voice they that heardG191 intreatedG3868 that the wordG3056 shouldG4369 notG3361 be spokenG4369 to themG846 any moreG3361:
(ForG1063 they couldG5342 notG3756 endureG5342 that which was commandedG1291, And if so much asG2579 a beastG2342 touchG2345 the mountainG3735, it shall be stonedG3036, orG2228 thrust throughG2700 with a dartG1002:
AndG2532 soG3779 terribleG5398 wasG2258 the sightG5324, that MosesG3475 saidG2036, I exceedingly fearG1630+G1510 andG2532 quakeG1790:)
ButG235 ye are comeG4334 unto mountG3735 SionG4622, andG2532 unto the cityG4172 of the livingG2198 GodG2316, the heavenlyG2032 JerusalemG2419, andG2532 to an innumerable companyG3461 of angelsG32,
To the general assemblyG3831 andG2532 churchG1577 of the firstbornG4416, which are writtenG583 inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 to GodG2316 the JudgeG2923 of allG3956, andG2532 to the spiritsG4151 of just menG1342 made perfectG5048, {written: or, enrolled}
AndG2532 to JesusG2424 the mediatorG3316 of the newG3501 covenantG1242, andG2532 to the bloodG129 of sprinklingG4473, that speakethG2980 better thingsG2909 thanG3844 that of AbelG6. {covenant: or, testament}
SeeG991 that ye refuseG3868 notG3361 him that speakethG2980. ForG1063 ifG1487 theyG1565 escapedG5343 notG3756 who refused himG3868 that spakeG5537 onG1909 earthG1093, muchG4183 moreG3123 shall not weG2249 escape, if we turn away from himG654 that speaketh fromG575 heavenG3772:
WhoseG3739 voiceG5456 thenG5119 shookG4531 the earthG1093: butG1161 nowG3568 he hath promisedG1861, sayingG3004, YetG2089 once moreG530 IG1473 shakeG4579 notG3756 the earthG1093 onlyG3440, butG235 alsoG2532 heavenG3772.
AndG1161 this word, YetG2089 once moreG530, signifiethG1213 the removingG3331 of those things that are shakenG4531, asG5613 of things that are madeG4160, thatG2443 those things which cannotG3361 be shakenG4531 may remainG3306. {are shaken: or, may be shaken}
WhereforeG1352 we receivingG3880 a kingdomG932 which cannot be movedG761, let us haveG2192 graceG5485, wherebyG1223+G3739 we may serveG3000 GodG2316 acceptablyG2102 withG3326 reverenceG127 andG2532 godly fearG2124: {let…: or, let us hold fast}
ForG2532+G1063 ourG2257 GodG2316 is a consumingG2654 fireG4442.
WhereG3699 there isG1762 neitherG3756 GreekG1672 norG2532 JewG2453, circumcisionG4061 norG2532 uncircumcisionG203, BarbarianG915, ScythianG4658, bondG1401 nor freeG1658: butG235 ChristG5547 is allG3956, andG2532 inG1722 allG3956.
AndG1161 the apostlesG652 andG2532 brethrenG80 that wereG5607 inG2596 JudaeaG2449 heardG191 thatG3754 the GentilesG1484 hadG1209 alsoG2532 receivedG1209 the wordG3056 of GodG2316.
AndG2532 whenG3753 PeterG4074 was come upG305 toG1519 JerusalemG2414, they that were ofG1537 the circumcisionG4061 contendedG1252 withG4314 himG846,
SayingG3004+G3754, Thou wentest inG1525 toG4314 menG435 uncircumcisedG203+G2192, andG2532 didst eatG4906 with themG846.
ButG1161 PeterG4074 rehearsed the matter from the beginningG756, and expoundedG1620 it by orderG2517 unto themG846, sayingG3004,
IG1473 wasG2252 inG1722 the cityG4172 of JoppaG2445 prayingG4336: andG2532 inG1722 a tranceG1611 I sawG1492 a visionG3705, A certainG5100 vesselG4632 descendG2597, as it had beenG5613 a greatG3173 sheetG3607, let downG2524 fromG1537 heavenG3772 by fourG5064 cornersG746; andG2532 it cameG2064 evenG891 to meG1700:
UponG1519 the whichG3739 when I had fastened mine eyesG816, I consideredG2657, andG2532 sawG1492 fourfooted beastsG5074 of the earthG1093, andG2532 wild beastsG2342, andG2532 creeping thingsG2062, andG2532 fowlsG4071 of the airG3772.
AndG1161 I heardG191 a voiceG5456 sayingG3004 unto meG3427, AriseG450, PeterG4074; slayG2380 andG2532 eatG5315.
ButG1161 I saidG2036, Not soG3365, LordG2962: forG3754 nothingG3956 commonG2839 orG2228 uncleanG169 hathG1525 at any timeG3763 enteredG1525 intoG1519 myG3450 mouthG4750.
ButG1161 the voiceG5456 answeredG611 meG3427 againG1537+G1208 fromG1537 heavenG3772, WhatG3739 GodG2316 hath cleansedG2511, that callG2840 notG3361 thouG4771 commonG2840.
AndG1161 thisG5124 was doneG1096+G1909 three timesG5151: andG2532 allG537 were drawn upG385 againG3825 intoG1519 heavenG3772.
AndG2532, beholdG2400, immediatelyG1824 there wereG2186 threeG5140 menG435 alreadyG1824 comeG2186 untoG1909 the houseG3614 whereG1722+G3739 I wasG2252, sentG649 fromG575 CaesareaG2542 untoG4314 meG3165.
AndG1161 the SpiritG4151 badeG2036 meG3427 go withG4905 themG846, nothingG3367 doubtingG1252. MoreoverG1161+G2532 theseG3778 sixG1803 brethrenG80 accompaniedG4862+G2064 meG1698, andG2532 we enteredG1525 intoG1519 the man'sG435 houseG3624:
AndG5037 he shewedG518 usG2254 howG4459 he had seenG1492 an angelG32 inG1722 hisG846 houseG3624, which stoodG2476 andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, SendG649 menG435 toG1519 JoppaG2445, andG2532 call forG3343 SimonG4613, whose surname isG1941 PeterG4074;
WhoG3739 shall tellG2980 theeG4314+G4571 wordsG4487, wherebyG1722+G3739 thouG4771 andG2532 allG3956 thyG4675 houseG3624 shall be savedG4982.
AndG1161 asG1722 IG3165 beganG756 to speakG2980, the HolyG40 GhostG4151 fellG1968 onG1909 themG846, asG5618+G2532 onG1909 usG2248 atG1722 the beginningG746.
ThenG1161 remembered IG3415 the wordG4487 of the LordG2962, howG5613 that he saidG3004, JohnG2491 indeedG3303 baptizedG907 with waterG5204; butG1161 yeG5210 shall be baptizedG907 withG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
ForasmuchG1487 thenG3767 asG5613 GodG2316 gaveG1325 themG846 the likeG2470 giftG1431 asG2532 he did unto usG2254, who believedG4100 onG1909 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547+G1161; whatG5101 wasG2252 IG1473, that I couldG1415 withstandG2967 GodG2316?
WhenG1161 they heardG191 these thingsG5023, they held their peaceG2270, andG2532 glorifiedG1392 GodG2316, sayingG3004, ThenG686 hathG1325 GodG2316 alsoG2534 to the GentilesG1484 grantedG1325 repentanceG3341 untoG1519 lifeG2222.
NowG3767+G3303 they which were scattered abroadG1289 uponG575 the persecutionG2347 that aroseG1096 aboutG1909 StephenG4736 travelledG1330 as far asG2193 PheniceG5403, andG2532 CyprusG2954, andG2532 AntiochG490, preachingG2980 the wordG3056 to noneG3367 butG1508 unto the JewsG2453 onlyG3440.
AndG1161 someG5100 ofG1537 themG846 wereG2258 menG435 of CyprusG2953 andG2532 CyreneG2956, whichG3748, when they were comeG1525 toG1519 AntiochG490, spakeG2980 untoG4314 the GreciansG1675, preachingG2097 the LordG2962 JesusG2424.
AndG2532 the handG5495 of the LordG2962 wasG2258 withG3326 themG846: andG5037 a greatG4183 numberG706 believedG4100, and turnedG1994 untoG1909 the LordG2962.
ThenG1161 tidingsG3056 ofG4012 these thingsG846 cameG191 untoG1519 the earsG3775 of the churchG1577 whichG3588 was inG1722 JerusalemG2414: andG2532 they sent forthG1821 BarnabasG921, that he should goG1330 as far asG2193 AntiochG490.
WhoG3739, when he cameG3854, andG2532 had seenG1492 the graceG5485 of GodG2316, was gladG5463, andG2532 exhortedG3870 them allG3956, that with purposeG4286 of heartG2588 they would cleave untoG4357 the LordG2962.
ForG3754 he wasG2258 a goodG18 manG435, andG2532 fullG4134 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151 andG2532 of faithG4102: andG2532 muchG2425 peopleG3793 was addedG4369 unto the LordG2962.
ThenG1161 departedG1831 BarnabasG921 toG1519 TarsusG5019, for to seekG327 SaulG4569:
AndG2532 when he had foundG2147 himG846, he broughtG71 himG846 untoG1519 AntiochG490. AndG1161 it came to passG1096, that a wholeG3650 yearG1763 theyG846 assembled themselvesG4863 withG1722 the churchG1577, andG2532 taughtG1321 muchG2425 peopleG3793. AndG5037 the disciplesG3101 were calledG5537 ChristiansG5546 firstG4412 inG1722 AntiochG490. {with…: or, in the church}
AndG1161 inG1722 theseG5025 daysG2250 cameG2718 prophetsG4396 fromG575 JerusalemG2414 untoG1519 AntiochG490.
AndG1161 there stood upG450 oneG1520 ofG1537 themG846 namedG3686 AgabusG13, and signifiedG4591 byG1223 the SpiritG4151 that there should beG3195+G1510 greatG3173 dearthG3042 throughoutG1909 allG3650 the worldG3625: whichG3748+G2532 came to passG1096 in the days ofG1909 ClaudiusG2804 CaesarG2541.
ThenG1161 the disciplesG3101, everyG1538 manG846 according toG2531 his abilityG2141+G5100, determinedG3724 to sendG3992 reliefG1248 untoG1519 the brethrenG80 which dweltG2730 inG1722 JudaeaG2449:
WhichG3739 alsoG2532 they didG4160, and sent itG649 toG4314 the eldersG4245 byG1223 the handsG5495 of BarnabasG921 andG2532 SaulG4569.
AndG2532 certain menG5100 which came downG2718 fromG575 JudaeaG2449 taughtG1321 the brethrenG80, and said,G3754 ExceptG3362 ye be circumcisedG4059 after the mannerG1485 of MosesG3475, ye cannotG3756+G1410 be savedG4982.
When thereforeG3767 PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921 hadG1096 noG3756 smallG3641 dissensionG4714 andG2532 disputationG4803 withG4314 themG846, they determinedG5021 that PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921, andG2532 certainG5100 otherG243 ofG1537 themG846, should go upG305 toG1519 JerusalemG2419 untoG4314 the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245 aboutG4012 thisG5127 questionG2213.
AndG3303+G3767 being brought on their wayG4311 byG5259 the churchG1577, they passed throughG1330 PheniceG5403 andG2532 SamariaG4540, declaringG1555 the conversionG1995 of the GentilesG1484: andG2532 they causedG4160 greatG3173 joyG5479 unto allG3956 the brethrenG80.
AndG1161 when they were comeG3854 toG1519 JerusalemG2419, they were receivedG588 ofG5259 the churchG1577, andG2532 of the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245, andG5037 they declaredG312 all thingsG3745 that GodG2316 had doneG4160 withG3326 themG846.
ButG1161 there rose upG1817 certainG5100 ofG575 the sectG139 of the PhariseesG5330 which believedG4100, sayingG3004, ThatG3754 it was needfulG1163 to circumciseG4059 themG846, andG5037 to commandG3853 them to keepG5083 the lawG3551 of MosesG3475. {rose…: or, rose up, said they, certain}
AndG1161 the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245 came togetherG4863 for to considerG1492 ofG4012 thisG5127 matterG3056.
AndG1161 when there had beenG1096 muchG4183 disputingG4803, PeterG4074 rose upG450, and saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, MenG435 and brethrenG80, yeG5210 knowG1987 how thatG3754 a goodG744 whileG2250 agoG575 GodG2316 made choiceG1586 amongG1722 usG2254, that the GentilesG1484 byG1223 myG3450 mouthG4750 should hearG191 the wordG3056 of the gospelG2098, andG2532 believeG4100.
AndG2532 GodG2316, which knoweth the heartsG2589, bare themG846 witnessG3140, givingG1325 themG846 the HolyG40 GhostG4151, evenG2532 asG2531 he did unto usG2254;
AndG2532 putG1252 noG3762 differenceG1252 betweenG3342+G5037 usG2257 andG2532 themG846, purifyingG2511 theirG846 heartsG2588 by faithG4102.
NowG3568 thereforeG3767 whyG5101 tempt yeG3985 GodG2316, to putG2007 a yokeG2218 uponG1909 the neckG5137 of the disciplesG3101, whichG3739 neitherG3777 ourG2257 fathersG3962 norG3777 weG2249 were ableG2480 to bearG941?
ButG235 we believeG4100 that throughG1223 the graceG5485 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 we shall be savedG4982, evenG2596+G3739 asG5158 theyG2548.
ThenG1161 allG3956 the multitudeG4128 kept silenceG4601, andG2532 gave audienceG191 to BarnabasG921 andG2532 PaulG3972, declaringG1834 whatG3745 miraclesG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059 GodG2316 had wroughtG4160 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484 byG1223 themG846.
AndG1161 afterG3326 they had heldG4601 theirG846 peaceG4601, JamesG2385 answeredG611, sayingG3004, MenG435 and brethrenG80, hearkenG191 unto meG3450:
SimeonG4826 hath declaredG1834 howG2531 GodG2316 at the firstG4412 did visitG1980 the GentilesG1484, to takeG2983 out ofG1537 them a peopleG2992 forG1909 hisG846 nameG3686.
AndG2532 to thisG5129 agreeG4856 the wordsG3056 of the prophetsG4396; asG2531 it is writtenG1125,
AfterG3326 thisG5023 I will returnG390, andG2532 will build againG456 the tabernacleG4633 of DavidG1138, whichG3588 is fallen downG4098; andG2532 I will build againG456 the ruinsG2679 thereofG846, andG2532 I will setG461 itG846 upG461:
ThatG3704+G302 the residueG2645 of menG444 might seek afterG1567 the LordG2962, andG2532 allG3956 the GentilesG1484, uponG1909 whomG3739 myG3450 nameG3686 is calledG1941+G1909+G846, saithG3004 the LordG2962, whoG3588 doethG4160 allG3956 these thingsG5023.
KnownG1110 unto GodG2316 areG2076 allG3956 hisG846 worksG2041 fromG575 the beginning of the worldG165.
WhereforeG1352 myG1473 sentence isG2919, that we troubleG3926 notG3361 them, whichG3588 from amongG575 the GentilesG1484 are turnedG1994 toG1909 GodG2316:
ButG235 that we writeG1989 unto themG846, that they abstainG567 fromG575 pollutionsG234 of idolsG1497, andG2532 from fornicationG4202, andG2532 from things strangledG4156, andG2532 from bloodG129.
ForG1063 MosesG3475 ofG1537 oldG744 timeG1074 hathG2192 in everyG2596 cityG4172 them that preachG2784 himG846, being readG314 inG1722 the synagoguesG4864 everyG2596+G3956 sabbath dayG4521.
ThenG5119 pleased itG1380 the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245, withG4862 the wholeG3650 churchG1577, to sendG3992 chosenG1586 menG435 ofG1537 their own companyG846 toG1519 AntiochG490 withG4862 PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921; namely, JudasG2455 surnamedG1941 BarsabasG923, andG2532 SilasG4609, chiefG2233 menG435 amongG1722 the brethrenG80:
And they wroteG1125 letters byG1223 themG5495+G846 after this mannerG3592; The apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245 andG2532 brethrenG80 send greetingG5463 unto the brethrenG80 whichG3588 are ofG1537 the GentilesG1484 inG2596 AntiochG490 andG2532 SyriaG4947 andG2532 CiliciaG2791:
Forasmuch asG1894 we have heardG191, thatG3754 certainG5100 which went outG1831 fromG1537 usG2257 have troubledG5015 youG5209 with wordsG3056, subvertingG384 yourG5216 soulsG5590, sayingG3004, Ye must be circumcisedG4059, andG2532 keepG5083 the lawG3551: to whomG3739 we gaveG1291 noG3756 such commandmentG1291:
It seemed goodG1380 unto usG2254, being assembledG1096 with one accordG3661, to sendG3992 chosenG1586 menG435 untoG4314 youG5209 withG4862 ourG2257 belovedG27 BarnabasG921 andG2532 PaulG3972,
MenG444 that have hazardedG3860 theirG846 livesG5590 forG5228 the nameG3686 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
We have sentG649 thereforeG3767 JudasG2455 andG2532 SilasG4609, whoG846 shallG518 alsoG2532 tellG518 you the same thingsG846 byG1223 mouthG3056. {mouth: Gr. word}
ForG1063 it seemed goodG1380 to the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 to usG2254, to lay uponG2007 youG5213 noG3367 greaterG4119 burdenG922 thanG4133 theseG5130 necessary thingsG1876;
That ye abstainG567 from meats offered to idolsG1494, andG2532 from bloodG129, andG2532 from things strangledG4156, andG2532 from fornicationG4202: fromG1537 whichG3739 if ye keepG1301 yourselvesG1438, ye shall doG4238 wellG2095. Fare ye wellG4517.
SoG3303+G3767 when they were dismissedG630, they cameG2064 toG1519 AntiochG490: andG2532 when they had gatheredG4863 the multitudeG4128 togetherG4863, they deliveredG1929 the epistleG1992:
Which whenG1161 they had readG314, they rejoicedG5463 forG1909 the consolationG3874. {consolation: or, exhortation}
And JudasG2455 andG2532 SilasG4609, beingG5607 prophetsG4396 alsoG2532 themselvesG846, exhortedG3870 the brethrenG80 withG1223 manyG4183 wordsG3056, andG2532 confirmedG1991 them.
AndG1161 after they had tarriedG4160 there a spaceG5550, they were let goG630 inG3326 peaceG1515 fromG575 the brethrenG80 untoG4314 the apostlesG652.
NotwithstandingG1161 it pleasedG1380 SilasG4609 to abideG1961 thereG847 stillG1961.
PaulG3972 alsoG1161 andG2532 BarnabasG921 continuedG1304 inG1722 AntiochG490, teachingG1321 andG2532 preachingG2097 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, withG3326 manyG4183 othersG2087 alsoG2532.
AndG1161 someG5100 daysG2250 afterG3326 PaulG3972 saidG2036 untoG4314 BarnabasG921+G1211, Let us go againG1994 and visitG1980 ourG2257 brethrenG80 inG2596 everyG3956 cityG4172 whereG1722+G3739 we have preachedG2605 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, and see howG4459 they doG2192.
AndG1161 BarnabasG921 determinedG1011 to take with themG4838 JohnG2491, whose surname wasG2564 MarkG3138.
ButG1161 PaulG3972 thoughtG515 notG3361 goodG515 to takeG4838 himG5126 with themG4838, whoG3588 departedG868 fromG575 themG846 fromG575 PamphyliaG3828, andG2532 wentG4905 notG3361 with themG846 toG1519 the workG2041.
AndG3767 the contentionG3948 wasG1096 so sharpG3948 between themG846, thatG5620 they departed asunderG673 one from the otherG575+G240: and soG5037 BarnabasG921 tookG3880 MarkG3138, and sailedG1602 untoG1519 CyprusG2954;
AndG1161 PaulG3972 choseG1951 SilasG4609, and departedG1831, being recommendedG3860 byG5259 the brethrenG80 unto the graceG5485 of GodG2316.
AndG1161 he went throughG1330 SyriaG4947 andG2532 CiliciaG2791, confirmingG1991 the churchesG1577.
AndG1161 it came to passG1096, that afterG5613 weG2248 were gottenG645 fromG575 themG846, and had launchedG321, we cameG2064 with a straight courseG2113 untoG1519 CoosG2972, andG1161 the day followingG1836 untoG1519 RhodesG4499, and from thenceG2547 untoG1519 PataraG3959:
AndG2532 findingG2147 a shipG4143 sailing overG1276 untoG1519 PheniciaG5403, we went aboardG1910, and set forthG321.
NowG1161 when we had discoveredG398 CyprusG2954+G2532, we leftG2641 itG846 on the left handG2176, and sailedG4126 intoG1519 SyriaG4947, andG2532 landedG2609 atG1519 TyreG5184: forG1063 thereG1566 the shipG4143 wasG2258 to unladeG670 her burdenG1117.
AndG2532 findingG429 disciplesG3101, we tarriedG1961 thereG847 sevenG2033 daysG2250: whoG3748 saidG3004 to PaulG3972 throughG1223 the SpiritG4151, that he shouldG305 notG3361 go upG305 toG1519 JerusalemG2419.
AndG1161 whenG3753 weG2248 hadG1096 accomplishedG1822 those daysG2250, we departedG1831 and went our wayG4198; and they allG3956 broughtG4311 usG2248 on our wayG4311, withG4862 wivesG1135 andG2532 childrenG5043, tillG2193 we were out ofG1854 the cityG4172: andG2532 we kneeled downG5087+G1119 onG1909 the shoreG123, and prayedG4336.
AndG2532 when we had taken our leaveG782 one of anotherG240, we tookG1910+G1519 shipG4143; andG1161 theyG1565 returnedG5290+G1519 homeG2398 againG5290.
AndG1161 when weG2249 had finishedG1274 our courseG4144 fromG575 TyreG5184, we cameG2658 toG1519 PtolemaisG4424, andG2532 salutedG782 the brethrenG80, and abodeG3306 withG3844 themG846 oneG3391 dayG2250.
AndG1161 the nextG1887 day we that were ofG4012 Paul'sG3972 companyG4012 departedG1831, and cameG2064 untoG1519 CaesareaG2542: andG2532 we enteredG1525 intoG1519 the houseG3624 of PhilipG5376 the evangelistG2099, which wasG5607 one ofG1537 the sevenG2033; and abodeG3306 withG3844 himG846.
AndG1161 the same manG5129 hadG2258 fourG5064 daughtersG2364, virginsG3933, which did prophesyG4395.
AndG1161 as weG2257 tarriedG1961 there manyG4119 daysG2250, there came downG2718 fromG575 JudaeaG2449 a certainG5100 prophetG4396, namedG3686 AgabusG13.
AndG2532 when he was comeG2064 untoG4314 usG2248+G2532, he tookG142 Paul'sG3972 girdleG2223, andG5037 boundG1210 his ownG846 handsG5495 andG2532 feetG4228, and saidG2036, ThusG3592 saithG3004 the HolyG40 GhostG4151, SoG3779 shallG1210 the JewsG2453 atG1722 JerusalemG2419 bindG1210 the manG435 thatG3739 ownethG2076 thisG3778 girdleG2223, andG2532 shall deliverG3860 him intoG1519 the handsG5495 of the GentilesG1484.
AndG1161 whenG5613 we heardG191 these thingsG5023, bothG5037 weG2249, andG2532 they of that placeG1786, besoughtG3870 himG846 notG3361 to go upG305 toG1519 JerusalemG2419.
ThenG1161 PaulG3972 answeredG611, WhatG5101 mean yeG4160 to weepG2799 andG2532 to breakG4919 mineG3450 heartG2588? forG1063 IG1473 amG2192 readyG2093 notG3756 to be boundG1210 onlyG3440, butG2532 alsoG235 to dieG599 atG1519 JerusalemG2419 forG5228 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424.
AndG1161 when heG846 wouldG3982 notG3361 be persuadedG3982, we ceasedG2270, sayingG2036, The willG2307 of the LordG2962 be doneG1096.
AndG1161 afterG3326 thoseG5025 daysG2250 we took up our carriagesG643, and went upG305 toG1519 JerusalemG2419.
There wentG4905 withG4862 usG2254 alsoG2532 certain of the disciplesG3101 ofG575 CaesareaG2542, and broughtG71 with themG3844 oneG5100 MnasonG3416 of CyprusG2953, an oldG744 discipleG3101, with whomG3739 we should lodgeG3579.
AndG1161 when weG2257 were comeG1096 toG1519 JerusalemG2414, the brethrenG80 receivedG1209 usG2248 gladlyG780.
AndG1161 the day followingG1966 PaulG3972 went inG1524 withG4862 usG2254 untoG4314 JamesG2385; andG5037 allG3956 the eldersG4245 were presentG3854.
AndG2532 when he had salutedG782 themG846, he declaredG1834 particularlyG2596+G1520+G1538 what thingsG3739 GodG2316 had wroughtG4160 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484 byG1223 hisG846 ministryG1248.
AndG1161 when they heardG191 it, they glorifiedG1392 the LordG2962, andG5037 saidG2036 unto himG846, Thou seestG2334, brotherG80, how manyG4214 thousandsG3461 of JewsG2453 there areG1526 whichG3588 believeG4100; andG2532 they areG5225 allG3956 zealousG2207 of the lawG3551:
AndG1161 they are informedG2727 ofG4012 theeG4675, thatG3754 thou teachestG1321 allG3956 the JewsG2453 which are amongG2596 the GentilesG1484 toG575 forsakeG646 MosesG3475, sayingG3004 that theyG846 oughtG4059 notG3361 to circumciseG4059 their childrenG5043, neitherG3366 to walkG4043 after the customsG1485.
WhatG5101 is itG2076 thereforeG3767? the multitudeG4128 mustG1163 needsG3843 come togetherG4905: forG1063 they will hearG191 thatG3754 thou art comeG2064.
DoG4160 thereforeG3767 thisG5124 thatG3739 we sayG3004 to theeG4671: WeG2254 haveG1526 fourG5064 menG435 which haveG2192 a vowG2171 onG1909 themG1438;
ThemG5128 takeG3880, and purify thyselfG48 withG4862 themG846, andG2532 be at chargesG1159 withG1909 themG846, thatG2443 they may shaveG3587 their headsG2776: andG2532 allG3956 may knowG1097 that those thingsG3754, whereofG3739 they were informedG2727 concerningG4012 theeG4675, areG2076 nothingG3762; butG235 that thou thyselfG846 alsoG2532 walkest orderlyG4748, and keepestG5442 the lawG3551.
AsG1161 touchingG4012 the GentilesG1484 which believeG4100, weG2249 have writtenG1989 and concludedG2919 that theyG846 observeG5083 noG3367 such thingG5108, save onlyG1508 that they keepG5442 themselvesG846 fromG5037 things offered to idolsG1494, andG2532 from bloodG129, andG2532 from strangledG4156, andG2532 from fornicationG4202.
ThenG5119 PaulG3972 tookG3880 the menG435, and the nextG2192 dayG2250 purifying himselfG48 withG4862 themG846 enteredG1524 intoG1519 the templeG2411, to signifyG1229 the accomplishmentG1604 of the daysG2250 of purificationG49, untilG2193 thatG3739 an offeringG4376 should be offeredG4374 forG5228 everyG1538 oneG1520 of themG846.
AndG1161 whenG5613 the sevenG2033 daysG2250 were almostG3195 endedG4931, the JewsG2453 which were ofG575 AsiaG773, when they sawG2300 himG846 inG1722 the templeG2411, stirred upG4797 allG3956 the peopleG3793, andG2532 laidG1911 handsG5495 onG1909 himG846,
Crying outG2896, MenG435 of IsraelG2475, helpG997: ThisG3778 isG2076 the manG444, that teachethG1321 allG3956 men every whereG3837 againstG2596 the peopleG2992, andG2532 the lawG3551, andG2532 thisG5126 placeG5117: andG5037 furtherG2089 broughtG1521 GreeksG1672 alsoG2532 intoG1519 the templeG2411, andG2532 hath pollutedG2840 thisG5127 holyG40 placeG5117.
(ForG1063 they hadG2258 seen beforeG4308 withG4862 himG846 inG1722 the cityG4172 TrophimusG5161 an EphesianG2180, whomG3739 they supposedG3543 thatG3754 PaulG3972 had broughtG1521 intoG1519 the templeG2411.)
AndG5037 allG3650 the cityG4172 was movedG2795, andG2532 the peopleG2992 ran togetherG1096+G4890: andG2532 they tookG1949 PaulG3972, and drewG1670 himG846 out ofG1854 the templeG2411: andG2532 forthwithG2112 the doorsG2374 were shutG2808.
AndG1161 as they went aboutG2212 to killG615 himG846, tidingsG5334 cameG305 unto the chief captainG5506 of the bandG4686, thatG3754 allG3650 JerusalemG2419 was in an uproarG4797.
WhoG3739 immediatelyG1824 tookG3880 soldiersG4757 andG2532 centurionsG1543, and ran downG2701 untoG1909 themG846: andG1161 when they sawG1492 the chief captainG5506 andG2532 the soldiersG4757, they leftG3973 beatingG5180 of PaulG3972.
ThenG5119 the chief captainG5506 came nearG1448, and tookG1949 himG846, andG2532 commandedG2753 him to be bound withG1210 twoG1417 chainsG254; andG2532 demandedG4441 whoG5101 he wasG302+G1498, andG2532 whatG5101 he hadG2076 doneG4160.
AndG1161 someG243 criedG994 one thingG5100, some anotherG243, amongG1722 the multitudeG3793: andG1161 when he couldG1410 notG3361 knowG1097 the certaintyG804 forG1223 the tumultG2351, he commandedG2753 himG846 to be carriedG71 intoG1519 the castleG3925.
AndG1161 whenG3753 he cameG1096 uponG1909 the stairsG304, so it wasG4819, that he was borneG941 ofG5259 the soldiersG4757 forG1223 the violenceG970 of the peopleG3793.
ForG1063 the multitudeG4128 of the peopleG2992 followed afterG190, cryingG2896, AwayG142 with himG846.
AndG5037 as PaulG3972 was to beG3195 ledG1521 intoG1519 the castleG3925, he saidG3004 unto the chief captainG5506, MayG1487+G1832 IG3427 speakG2036+G5100 untoG4314 theeG4571+G1161? WhoG3588 saidG5346, Canst thou speakG1097 GreekG1676?
ArtG1488 notG3756 thouG4771+G686 that EgyptianG124, which beforeG4253 theseG5130 daysG2250 madest an uproarG387, andG2532 leddest outG1806 intoG1519 the wildernessG2048 four thousandG5070 menG435 that were murderersG4607?
ButG1161 PaulG3972 saidG2036, IG1473 amG1510+G3303 a manG444 which am a JewG2453 of TarsusG5018, a city in CiliciaG2791, a citizenG4177 of noG3756 meanG767 cityG4172: andG1161, I beseechG1189 theeG4675, sufferG2010 meG3427 to speakG2980 untoG4314 the peopleG2992.
AndG1161 when he had givenG2010 himG846 licenceG2010, PaulG3972 stoodG2476 onG1909 the stairsG304, and beckonedG2678 with the handG5495 unto the peopleG2992. AndG1161 when there was madeG1096 a greatG4183 silenceG4602, he spakeG4377 unto them in the HebrewG1446 tongueG1258, sayingG3004,
AmG1510 I notG3756 an apostleG652? amG1510 I notG3756 freeG1658? have I notG3780 seenG3708 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 LordG2962? areG2075 notG3756 yeG5210 myG3450 workG2041 inG1722 the LordG2962?
IfG1487 I beG1510 notG3756 an apostleG652 unto othersG243, yetG235 doubtlessG1065 I amG1510 to youG5213: forG1063 the sealG4973 of mineG1699 apostleshipG651 areG2075 yeG5210 inG1722 the LordG2962.
MineG1699 answerG627 to them that do examineG350 meG1691 isG2076 thisG3778,
Have weG2192 notG3378 powerG1849 to eatG5315 andG2532 to drinkG4095?
Have weG2192 notG3378 powerG1849 to lead aboutG4013 a sisterG79, a wifeG1135, as well asG5613+G2532 otherG3062 apostlesG652, andG2532 as the brethrenG80 of the LordG2962, andG2532 CephasG2786? {wife: or, woman}
OrG2228 IG1473 onlyG3441 andG2532 BarnabasG921, haveG2192 notG3756 weG2192 powerG1849 to forbearG3361 workingG2038?
WhoG5101 goeth a warfareG4754 any time atG4218 his ownG2398 chargesG3800? whoG5101 plantethG5452 a vineyardG290, andG2532 eatethG2068 notG3756 ofG1537 the fruitG2590 thereofG846? orG2228 whoG5101 feedethG4165 a flockG4167, andG2532 eatethG2068 notG3756 ofG1537 the milkG1051 of the flockG4167?
Say IG2980 these thingsG5023 asG3361+G2596 a manG444? orG2228 saithG3004 notG3780 the lawG3551 the sameG5023 alsoG2532?
ForG1063 it is writtenG1125 inG1722 the lawG3551 of MosesG3475, Thou shaltG5392 notG3756 muzzleG5392 the mouth of the oxG1016 that treadeth out the cornG248+G3361. DothG3199 GodG2316 take careG3199 for oxenG1016?
OrG2228 saith heG3004 it altogetherG3843 forG1223 ourG2248 sakesG1223? ForG1223 ourG2248 sakesG1223, no doubtG1063, this is writtenG1125: thatG3754 he that plowethG722 shouldG3784 plowG722 inG1909 hopeG1680; andG2532 that he that threshethG248 in hopeG1680 should be partakerG3348 ofG1909 hisG846 hopeG1680.
IfG1487 weG2249 have sownG4687 unto youG5213 spiritual thingsG4152, is it a great thingG3173 ifG1487 weG2249 shall reapG2325 yourG5216 carnal thingsG4559?
IfG1487 othersG243 be partakersG3348 of this powerG1849 over youG5216, are notG3756 weG2249 ratherG3123? NeverthelessG235 we haveG5530 notG3756 usedG5530 thisG5026 powerG1849; butG235 sufferG4722 all thingsG3956, lestG3363 we shouldG1325+G5100 hinderG1464 the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547.
Do yeG1492 notG3756 knowG1492 thatG3754 they which ministerG2038 about holy thingsG2413 liveG2068 of the things ofG1537 the templeG2411? and they which waitG4332 at the altarG2379 are partakersG4829 with the altarG2379? {live: or, feed}
EvenG2532 soG3779 hathG1299 the LordG2962 ordainedG1299 that they which preachG2605 the gospelG2098 should liveG2198 ofG1537 the gospelG2098.
ButG1161 IG1473 have usedG5530 noneG3762 of these thingsG5130+G1161: neitherG3756 have I writtenG1125 these thingsG5023, thatG2443 it should beG1096 soG3779 doneG1096 untoG1722 meG1698: forG1063 it were betterG3123 for meG3427 to dieG599+G2570, thanG2228 thatG2443 any manG5100 should makeG2758 myG3450 gloryingG2745 voidG2758.
ForG1063 thoughG1437 I preach the gospelG2097, IG3427 haveG2076 nothingG3756 to glory ofG2745: forG1063 necessityG318 is laid uponG1945 meG3427; yeaG1161, woeG3759 isG2076 unto meG3427, ifG3362 I preachG2097 notG3362 the gospelG2097!
ForG1063 ifG1487 I doG4238 this thingG5124 willinglyG1635, I haveG2192 a rewardG3408: butG1161 ifG1487 against my willG210, a dispensationG3622 of the gospel is committed unto meG4100.
WhatG5101 isG2076 myG3427 rewardG3408 thenG3767? Verily thatG2443, when I preach the gospelG2097, I may makeG5087 the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547 without chargeG77, thatG1519 I abuseG2710 notG3361 myG3450 powerG1849 inG1722 the gospelG2098.
ForG1063 though I beG5607 freeG1658 fromG1537 allG3956 men, yet have I madeG1402 myselfG1683 servantG1402 unto allG3956, thatG2443 I might gainG2770 the moreG4119.
AndG2532 unto the JewsG2453 I becameG1096 asG5613 a JewG2453, thatG2443 I might gainG2770 the JewsG2453; to them that are underG5259 the lawG3551, asG5613 underG5259 the lawG3551, thatG2443 I might gainG2770 them that are underG5259 the lawG3551;
To them that are without lawG459, asG5613 without lawG459, (beingG5607 notG3361 without lawG459 to GodG2316, butG235 under the lawG1772 to ChristG5547,) thatG2443 I might gainG2770 them that are without lawG459.
To the weakG772 became IG1096 asG5613 weakG772, thatG2443 I might gainG2770 the weakG772: I am madeG1096 all thingsG3956 to allG3956 men, thatG2443 I mightG4982 by all meansG3843 saveG4982 someG5100.
AndG1161 thisG5124 I doG4160 forG1223 the gospel'sG2098 sakeG1223, thatG2443 I might beG1096 partakerG4791 thereofG846 withG4791 you.
Know yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 they which runG5143 inG1722 a raceG4712 runG5143 allG3956+G3303, butG1161 oneG1520 receivethG2983 the prizeG1017? SoG3779 runG5143, thatG2443 ye may obtainG2638.
AndG1161 every manG3956 that striveth for the masteryG75 is temperateG1467 in all thingsG3956+G3303. NowG3767 theyG1565 do it toG2443 obtainG2983 a corruptibleG5349 crownG4735; butG1161 weG2249 an incorruptibleG862.
IG1473 thereforeG5106 soG3779 runG5143, notG3756 asG5613 uncertainlyG84; soG3779 fight IG4438, notG3756 asG5613 one that beatethG1194 the airG109:
ButG235 I keep underG5299 myG3450 bodyG4983, andG2532 bring it into subjectionG1396: lest that by any meansG3381+G4458, when I have preachedG2784 to othersG243, I myselfG846 should beG1096 a castawayG96.
GodG2316, who at sundry timesG4181 andG2532 in divers mannersG4187 spakeG2980 in time pastG3819 unto the fathersG3962 byG1722 the prophetsG4396,
HathG2980 inG1909 theseG5130 lastG2078 daysG2250 spokenG2980 unto usG2254 byG1722 his SonG5207, whomG3739 he hath appointedG5087 heirG2818 of all thingsG3956, byG1223 whomG3739 alsoG2532 he madeG4160 the worldsG165;
ThereforeG1223+G5124 weG2248 oughtG1163 to give the more earnestG4056 heedG4337 to the things which we have heardG191, lest at any timeG3379 we should let them slipG3901. {let…: Gr. run out as leaking vessels}
ForG1063 ifG1487 the wordG3056 spokenG2980 byG1223 angelsG32 wasG1096 stedfastG949, andG2532 everyG3956 transgressionG3847 andG2532 disobedienceG3876 receivedG2983 a justG1738 recompence of rewardG3405;
HowG4459 shall weG2249 escapeG1628, if we neglectG272 so greatG5082 salvationG4991; whichG3748 at the firstG746 beganG2983 to be spokenG2980 byG1223 the LordG2962, and was confirmedG950 untoG1519 usG2248 byG5259 them that heardG191 him;
GodG2316 also bearing them witnessG4901, bothG5037 with signsG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059, andG2532 with diversG4164 miraclesG1411, andG2532 giftsG3311 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151, according toG2596 his ownG846 willG2308? {gifts: or, distributions}
ForG1063 unto the angelsG32 hath heG5293 notG3756 put in subjectionG5293 the worldG3625 to comeG3195, whereofG4012+G3739 we speakG2980.
ButG1161 oneG5100 in a certain placeG4225 testifiedG1263, sayingG3004, WhatG5101 isG2076 manG444, thatG3754 thou art mindfulG3403 of himG846? orG2228 the sonG5207 of manG444, thatG3754 thou visitestG1980 himG846?
Thou madestG1642 himG846 a littleG1024+G5100 lowerG1642 thanG3844 the angelsG32; thou crownedstG4737 himG846 with gloryG1391 andG2532 honourG5092, andG2532 didst setG2525 himG846 overG1909 the worksG2041 of thyG4675 handsG5495: {lower…: or, while inferior to}
Thou hast putG5293 all thingsG3956 in subjectionG5293 underG5270 hisG846 feetG4228. ForG1063 inG1722 that he putG5293 allG3956 in subjection underG5293 himG846, he leftG863 nothing that is notG3762 put underG506 himG846. ButG1161 nowG3568 we seeG3708 not yetG3768 all thingsG3956 put underG5293 himG846.
ButG1161 we seeG991 JesusG2424, whoG3588 was madeG1642 a littleG1024+G5100 lowerG1642 thanG3844 the angelsG32 forG1223 the sufferingG3804 of deathG2288, crownedG4737 with gloryG1391 andG2532 honourG5092; thatG3704 heG1089 by the graceG5485 of GodG2316 should tasteG1089 deathG2288 forG5228 every manG3956. {for the: or, by the}
ForG1063 it becameG4241 himG846, forG1223 whomG3739 are all thingsG3956, andG2532 byG1223 whomG3739 are all thingsG3956, in bringingG71 manyG4183 sonsG5207 untoG1519 gloryG1391, to makeG5048 the captainG747 of theirG846 salvationG4991 perfectG5048 throughG1223 sufferingsG3804.
ForG1063 bothG5037 he that sanctifiethG37 andG2532 they who are sanctifiedG37 are allG3956 ofG1537 oneG1520: forG1223 whichG3739 causeG156 he isG1870 notG3756 ashamedG1870 to callG2564 themG846 brethrenG80,
SayingG3004, I will declareG518 thyG4675 nameG3686 unto myG3450 brethrenG80, inG1722 the midstG3319 of the churchG1577 will I sing praiseG5214 unto theeG4571.
AndG2532 againG3825, IG1473 willG2071 put my trustG3982 inG1909 himG846. AndG2532 againG3825, BeholdG2400 IG1473 andG2532 the childrenG3813 whichG3739 GodG2316 hath givenG1325 meG3427.
ForasmuchG1893 thenG3767 as the childrenG3813 are partakersG2841 of fleshG4561 andG2532 bloodG129, heG3348 alsoG2532 himselfG846 likewiseG3898 took partG3348 of the sameG846; thatG2443 throughG1223 deathG2288 he might destroyG2673 him that hadG2192 the powerG2904 of deathG2288, that isG5123, the devilG1228;
AndG2532 deliverG525 themG5128 whoG3745 throughG1223 fearG5401 of deathG2288 wereG2258 allG3956 their lifetimeG2198 subjectG1777 to bondageG1397.
ForG1063 verilyG1222 he tookG1949 notG3756 onG1949 him the nature of angelsG32; butG235 he took onG1949 him the seedG4690 of AbrahamG11. {took not…: Gr. taketh not hold of angels, but of the seed of Abraham he taketh hold}
WhereforeG3606 inG2596 all thingsG3956 it behoved himG3784 to be made likeG3666 unto his brethrenG80, thatG2443 he might beG1096 a mercifulG1655 andG2532 faithfulG4103 high priestG749 in things pertaining toG4314 GodG2316, toG1519 make reconciliation forG2433 the sinsG266 of the peopleG2992.
ForG1063 inG1722 thatG3739 heG3958 himselfG846 hath sufferedG3958 being temptedG3985, he is ableG1410 to succourG997 them that are temptedG3985.
WhereforeG3606, holyG40 brethrenG80, partakersG3353 of the heavenlyG2032 callingG2821, considerG2657 the ApostleG652 andG2532 High PriestG749 of ourG2257 professionG3671, ChristG5547 JesusG2424;
Who wasG5607 faithfulG4103 to him that appointedG4160 himG846, asG5613 alsoG2532 MosesG3475 was faithful inG1722 allG3650 hisG846 houseG3624. {appointed: Gr. made}
ForG1063 thisG3778 man was counted worthyG515 of moreG4119 gloryG1391 thanG3844 MosesG3475, inasmuch asG2596+G3745 he who hath buildedG2680 the houseG3624 hath moreG4119 honourG5092 thanG2192 the houseG846.
ForG1063 everyG3956 houseG3624 is buildedG2680 byG5259 someG5100 man; butG1161 he that builtG2680 all thingsG3956 is GodG2316.
AndG2532 MosesG3475 verilyG3303 was faithfulG4103 inG1722 allG3650 hisG846 houseG3624, asG5613 a servantG2324, forG1519 a testimonyG3142 of those things which were to be spoken afterG2980;
ButG1161 ChristG5547 asG5613 a sonG5207 overG1909 his ownG846 houseG3624; whoseG3739 houseG3624 areG2070 weG2249, ifG1437+G4007 we hold fastG2722 the confidenceG3954 andG2532 the rejoicingG2745 of the hopeG1680 firmG949 untoG3360 the endG5056.
WhereforeG1352 (asG2531 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 saithG3004, To dayG4594 ifG1437 ye will hearG191 hisG846 voiceG5456,
HardenG4645 notG3361 yourG5216 heartsG2588, asG5613 inG1722 the provocationG3894, inG2596 the dayG2250 of temptationG3986 inG1722 the wildernessG2048:
WhenG3757 yourG5216 fathersG3962 temptedG3985 meG3165, provedG1381 meG3165, andG2532 sawG1492 myG3450 worksG2041 fortyG5062 yearsG2094.
WhereforeG1352 I was grievedG4360 with thatG1565 generationG1074, andG2532 saidG2036, They doG4105 alwayG104 errG4105 in their heartG2588; andG1161 theyG846 haveG1097 notG3756 knownG1097 myG3450 waysG3598.
SoG5613 I swareG3660 inG1722 myG3450 wrathG3709, They shallG1525 notG1487 enterG1525 intoG1519 myG3450 restG2663.) {They…: Gr. If they shall enter}
Take heedG991, brethrenG80, lestG3379 there beG2071 inG1722 anyG5100 of youG5216 an evilG4190 heartG2588 of unbeliefG570, inG1722 departingG868 fromG575 the livingG2198 GodG2316.
ButG235 exhortG3870 one anotherG1438 dailyG2596+G1538+G2250, whileG891+G3739 it is calledG2564 To dayG4594; lestG3363 anyG5100 ofG1537 youG5216 be hardenedG4645 through the deceitfulnessG539 of sinG266.
ForG1063 we are madeG1096 partakersG3353 of ChristG5547, ifG1437+G4007 we holdG2722 the beginningG746 of our confidenceG5287 stedfastG949 untoG3360 the endG5056;
WhileG1722 it is saidG3004, To dayG4594 ifG1437 ye will hearG191 hisG846 voiceG5456, hardenG4645 notG3361 yourG5216 heartsG2588, asG5613 inG1722 the provocationG3894.
ForG1063 someG5100, when they had heardG191, did provokeG3893: howbeitG235 notG3756 allG3956 that cameG1831 out ofG1537 EgyptG125 byG1223 MosesG3475.
ButG1161 with whomG5101 was he grievedG4360 fortyG5062 yearsG2094? was it notG3780 with them that had sinnedG264, whoseG3739 carcasesG2966 fellG4098 inG1722 the wildernessG2048?
AndG1161 to whomG5101 sware heG3660 that they shouldG1525 notG3361 enterG1525 intoG1519 hisG846 restG2663, butG1508 to them that believed notG544?
SoG2532 we seeG991 thatG3754 they couldG1410 notG3756 enter inG1525 becauseG1223 of unbeliefG570.
HowG4459 shall weG2249 escapeG1628, if we neglectG272 so greatG5082 salvationG4991; whichG3748 at the firstG746 beganG2983 to be spokenG2980 byG1223 the LordG2962, and was confirmedG950 untoG1519 usG2248 byG5259 them that heardG191 him;
GodG2316 also bearing them witnessG4901, bothG5037 with signsG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059, andG2532 with diversG4164 miraclesG1411, andG2532 giftsG3311 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151, according toG2596 his ownG846 willG2308? {gifts: or, distributions}
IG1473 amG1510 verilyG3303 a manG435 which am a JewG2453, bornG1080 inG1722 TarsusG5019, a city in CiliciaG2791, yetG1161 brought upG397 inG1722 thisG5026 cityG4172 atG3844 the feetG4228 of GamalielG1059, and taughtG3811 accordingG2596 to the perfect mannerG195 of the lawG3551 of the fathersG3971, and wasG5225 zealousG2207 toward GodG2316, asG2531 yeG5210 allG3956 areG2075 this dayG4594.
ButG1161 when PaulG3972 perceivedG1097 thatG3754 the oneG1520 partG3313 wereG2076 SadduceesG4523, andG1161 the otherG2087 PhariseesG5330, he cried outG2896 inG1722 the councilG4892, MenG435 and brethrenG80, IG1473 amG1510 a PhariseeG5330, the sonG5207 of a PhariseeG5330: ofG4012 the hopeG1680 andG2532 resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498 IG1473 am called in questionG2919.
Which knewG4267 meG3165 from the beginningG509, ifG1437 they wouldG2309 testifyG3140, thatG3754 afterG2596 the most straitestG196 sectG139 of ourG2251 religionG2356 I livedG2198 a PhariseeG5330.
ButG235 contrariwiseG5121, when they sawG1492 thatG3754 the gospelG2098 of the uncircumcisionG203 was committed unto meG4100, asG2531 the gospel of the circumcisionG4061 was unto PeterG4074;
(ForG1063 he that wrought effectuallyG1754 in PeterG4074 toG1519 the apostleshipG651 of the circumcisionG4061, the sameG2532 was mightyG1754 in meG1698 towardG1519 the GentilesG1484:)
AndG2532 when JamesG2385+G2532, CephasG2786, andG2532 JohnG2491, whoG3588 seemedG1380 to beG1511 pillarsG4769, perceivedG1097 the graceG5485 that was givenG1325 unto meG3427, they gaveG1325 to meG1698 andG2532 BarnabasG921 the right handsG1188 of fellowshipG2842; thatG2443 weG2249 should go untoG1519 the heathenG1484, andG1161 theyG846 untoG1519 the circumcisionG4061.
There wasG2258 a certainG5100 manG435 inG1722 CaesareaG2542 calledG3686 CorneliusG2883, a centurionG1543 ofG1537 the bandG4686 calledG2564 the ItalianG2483 band,
A devoutG2152 man, andG2532 one that fearedG5399 GodG2316 withG4862 allG3956 hisG846 houseG3624, whichG5037 gaveG4160 muchG4183 almsG1654 to the peopleG2992, andG2532 prayedG1189 to GodG2316 alwayG1275.
He sawG1492 inG1722 a visionG3705 evidentlyG5320 aboutG5616 the ninthG1766 hourG5610 of the dayG2250 an angelG32 of GodG2316 coming inG1525 toG4314 himG846, andG2532 sayingG2036 unto himG846, CorneliusG2883.
AndG1161 when he lookedG816 on himG846, he wasG1096 afraidG1719, andG2532 saidG2036, WhatG5101 is itG2076, LordG2962? AndG1161 he saidG2036 unto himG846, ThyG4675 prayersG4335 andG2532 thineG4675 almsG1654 are come upG305 forG1519 a memorialG3422 beforeG1799 GodG2316.
AndG2532 nowG3568 sendG3992 menG435 toG1519 JoppaG2445, andG2532 call forG3343 one SimonG4613, whoseG3739 surname isG1941 PeterG4074:
HeG3778 lodgethG3579 withG3844 oneG5100 SimonG4613 a tannerG1038, whoseG3739 houseG3614 isG2076 byG3844 the sea sideG2281: heG3778 shall tellG2980 theeG4671 whatG5101 thouG4571 oughtestG1163 to doG4160.
AndG1161 whenG5613 the angelG32 whichG3588 spakeG2980 unto CorneliusG2883 was departedG565, he calledG5455 twoG1417 of hisG846 household servantsG3610, andG2532 a devoutG2152 soldierG4757 of them that waited onG4342 himG846 continuallyG4342;
AndG2532 when he had declaredG1834 all these thingsG537 unto themG846, he sentG649 themG846 toG1519 JoppaG2445.
On the morrowG1887, as theyG1565 went on their journeyG3596, andG2532 drew nighG1448 unto the cityG4172, PeterG4074 went upG305 uponG1909 the housetopG1430 to prayG4336 aboutG4012 the sixthG1623 hourG5610:
AndG1161 he becameG1096 very hungryG4361, andG2532 wouldG2309 have eatenG1089: butG1161 while theyG1565 made readyG3903, heG846 fellG1968 intoG1909 a tranceG1611,
AndG2532 sawG2334 heavenG3772 openedG455, andG2532 a certainG5100 vesselG4632 descendingG2597 untoG1909 himG846, asG5613 it had been a greatG3173 sheetG3607 knitG1210 at the fourG5064 cornersG746, andG2532 let downG2524 toG1909 the earthG1093:
WhereinG1722+G3739 wereG5225 all mannerG3956 of fourfooted beastsG5074 of the earthG1093, andG2532 wild beastsG2342, andG2532 creeping thingsG2062, andG2532 fowlsG4071 of the airG3772.
AndG2532 there cameG1096 a voiceG5456 toG4314 himG846, RiseG450, PeterG4074; killG2380, andG2532 eatG5315.
ButG1161 PeterG4074 saidG2036, Not soG3365, LordG2962; forG3754 I haveG5315 neverG3763 eatenG5315 any thingG3956 that is commonG2839 orG2228 uncleanG169.
AndG2532 the voiceG5456 spake untoG4314 himG846 againG3825+G1537 the second timeG1208, WhatG3739 GodG2316 hath cleansedG2511, that callG2840 notG3361 thouG4771 commonG2840.
ThisG5124 was doneG1096 thriceG1909+G5151: andG2532 the vesselG4632 was received upG353 againG3825 intoG1519 heavenG3772.
NowG1161 whileG5613 PeterG4074 doubtedG1280 inG1722 himselfG1438 whatG5101 this visionG3705 whichG3739 he had seenG1492 should meanG302+G1498, beholdG2400+G2532, the menG435 whichG3588 were sentG649 fromG575 CorneliusG2883 had made enquiryG1331 for Simon'sG4613 houseG3614, and stoodG2186 beforeG1909 the gateG4440,
AndG2532 calledG5455, and askedG4441 whetherG1487 SimonG4613, whichG3588 was surnamedG1941 PeterG4074, were lodgedG3579 thereG1759.
WhileG1161 PeterG4074 thoughtG1760 onG4012 the visionG3705, the SpiritG4151 saidG2036 unto himG846, BeholdG2400, threeG5140 menG435 seekG2212 theeG4571.
AriseG450 thereforeG235, and get thee downG2597, andG2532 goG4198 withG4862 themG846, doubtingG1252 nothingG3367: forG1360 IG1473 have sentG649 themG846.
ThenG1161 PeterG4074 went downG2597 toG4314 the menG435 whichG3588 were sentG649 untoG4314 himG846 fromG575 CorneliusG2883; and saidG2036, BeholdG2400, IG1473 amG1510 he whomG3739 ye seekG2212: whatG5101 is the causeG156 whereforeG1223+G3739 ye are comeG3918?
AndG1161 they saidG2036, CorneliusG2883 the centurionG1543, a justG1342 manG435, andG2532 one that fearethG5399 GodG2316, andG5037 of good reportG3140 amongG5259 allG3650 the nationG1484 of the JewsG2453, was warned from GodG5537 byG5259 an holyG40 angelG32 to sendG3343 for theeG4571 intoG1519 hisG846 houseG3624, andG2532 to hearG191 wordsG4487 ofG3844 theeG4675.
ThenG3767 called heG1528 themG846 inG1528, and lodgedG3579 them. AndG1161 on the morrowG1887 PeterG4074 went awayG1831 withG4862 themG846, andG2532 certainG5100 brethrenG80 fromG575 JoppaG2445 accompaniedG4905 himG846.
AndG2532 the morrowG1887 after they enteredG1525 intoG1519 CaesareaG2542. AndG1161 CorneliusG2883 waited forG4328 themG846+G2258, and had called togetherG4779 hisG846 kinsmenG4773 andG2532 nearG316 friendsG5384.
AndG1161 asG5613 PeterG4074 wasG1096 coming inG1525, CorneliusG2883 metG4876 himG846, and fell downG4098 atG1909 his feetG4228, and worshippedG4352 him.
ButG1161 PeterG4074 tookG1453 himG846 upG1453, sayingG3004, Stand upG450; IG2504 myselfG846 alsoG2504 amG1510 a manG444.
AndG2532 as he talkedG4926 with himG846, he went inG1525, andG2532 foundG2147 manyG4183 that were come togetherG4905.
AndG5037 he saidG5346 untoG4314 themG846, YeG5210 knowG1987 howG5613 that it isG2076 an unlawful thingG111 for a manG435 that is a JewG2453 to keep companyG2853, orG2228 come untoG4334 one of another nationG246; butG2532 GodG2316 hath shewedG1166 meG1698 that I should notG3367 callG3004 anyG3367 manG444 commonG2839 orG2228 uncleanG169.
ThereforeG1352+G2532 came IG2064 unto you without gainsayingG369, as soon as I was sent forG3343: I askG4441 thereforeG3767 for whatG5101 intentG3056 ye have sent forG3343 meG3165?
AndG2532 CorneliusG2883 saidG5346, FourG5067 daysG2250 agoG575 I wasG2252 fastingG3522 untilG3360 thisG5026 hourG5610; andG2532 at the ninthG1766 hourG5610 I prayedG4336 inG1722 myG3450 houseG3624, andG2532, beholdG2400, a manG435 stoodG2476 beforeG1799 meG3450 inG1722 brightG2986 clothingG2066,
AndG2532 saidG5346, CorneliusG2883, thyG4675 prayerG4335 is heardG1522, andG2532 thineG4675 almsG1654 are had in remembranceG3415 in the sightG1799 of GodG2316.
SendG3992 thereforeG3767 toG1519 JoppaG2445, andG2532 call hitherG3333 SimonG4613, whoseG3739 surname isG1941 PeterG4074; heG3778 is lodgedG3579 inG1722 the houseG3614 of one SimonG4613 a tannerG1038 byG3844 the sea sideG2281: whoG3739, when he comethG3854, shall speakG2980 unto theeG4671.
ImmediatelyG1824 thereforeG3767 I sentG3992 toG4314 theeG4571; andG5037 thouG4771 hast wellG2573 doneG4160 that thou art comeG3854. NowG3568 thereforeG3767 areG3918 weG2249 allG3956 here presentG3918 beforeG1799 GodG2316, to hearG191 all thingsG3956 that are commandedG4367 theeG4671 ofG5259 GodG2316.
ThenG1161 PeterG4074 openedG455 his mouthG4750, and saidG2036, OfG1909 a truthG225 I perceiveG2638 thatG3754 GodG2316 isG2076 noG3756 respecter of personsG4381:
ButG235 inG1722 everyG3956 nationG1484 he that fearethG5399 himG846, andG2532 workethG2038 righteousnessG1343, isG2076 acceptedG1184 with himG846.
The wordG3056 whichG3739 God sentG649 unto the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474, preachingG2097 peaceG1515 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547: (heG3778 isG2076 LordG2962 of allG3956:)
That wordG4487, I say, yeG5210 knowG1492, which was publishedG1096 throughoutG2596 allG3650 JudaeaG2449, and beganG756 fromG575 GalileeG1056, afterG3326 the baptismG908 whichG3739 JohnG2491 preachedG2784;
HowG5613 GodG2316 anointedG5548 JesusG2424 ofG575 NazarethG3478 with the HolyG40 GhostG4151 andG2532 with powerG1411: whoG846+G3739 went aboutG1330 doing goodG2109, andG2532 healingG2390 allG3956 that were oppressedG2616 ofG5259 the devilG1228; forG3754 GodG2316 wasG2258 withG3326 himG846.
AndG2532 weG2249 areG2070 witnessesG3144 of all thingsG3956 whichG3739 he didG4160 bothG5037 inG1722 the landG5561 of the JewsG2453, andG2532 inG1722 JerusalemG2419; whomG3739 they slewG337 and hangedG2910 onG1909 a treeG3586:
HimG5126 GodG2316 raised upG1453 the thirdG5154 dayG2250, andG2532 shewedG1096 himG846 openlyG1717+G1325;
NotG3756 to allG3956 the peopleG2992, butG235 unto witnessesG3144 chosen beforeG4401 ofG5259 GodG2316, even to usG2254, whoG3748 did eatG4906 andG2532 drink withG4844 himG846 afterG3326 heG846 roseG450 fromG1537 the deadG3498.
AndG2532 he commandedG3853 usG2254 to preachG2784 unto the peopleG2992, andG2532 to testifyG1263 thatG3754 it isG2076 heG846 whichG3588 was ordainedG3724 ofG5259 GodG2316 to be the JudgeG2923 of quickG2198 andG2532 deadG3498.
To himG5129 giveG3140 allG3956 the prophetsG4396 witnessG3140, that throughG1223 hisG846 nameG3686 whosoeverG3956 believethG4100 inG1519 himG846 shall receiveG2983 remissionG859 of sinsG266.
While PeterG4074 yetG2089 spakeG2980 theseG5023 wordsG4487, the HolyG40 GhostG4151 fellG1968 onG1909 allG3956 them which heardG191 the wordG3056.
AndG2532 they ofG1537 the circumcisionG4061 which believedG4103 were astonishedG1839, as many asG3745 came withG4905 PeterG4074, becauseG3754 that onG1909 the GentilesG1484 alsoG2532 was poured outG1632 the giftG1431 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
ForG1063 they heardG191 themG846 speak withG2980 tonguesG1100, andG2532 magnifyG3170 GodG2316. ThenG5119 answeredG611 PeterG4074,
CanG3385+G1410 any manG5100 forbidG2967 waterG5204, that theseG5128 shouldG907 notG3361 be baptizedG907, whichG3748 have receivedG2983 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 asG2532 well asG2531 weG2249?
AndG5037 he commandedG4367 themG846 to be baptizedG907 inG1722 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962. ThenG5119 prayed theyG2065 himG846 to tarryG1961 certainG5100 daysG2250.
AndG2532 asG2531 we have borneG5409 the imageG1504 of the earthyG5517, we shallG5409 alsoG2532 bearG5409 the imageG1504 of the heavenlyG2032.
PeterG4074, an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, to the strangersG3927 scatteredG1290 throughout PontusG4195, GalatiaG1053, CappadociaG2587, AsiaG773, andG2532 BithyniaG978,
ElectG1588 accordingG2596 to the foreknowledgeG4268 of GodG2316 the FatherG3962, throughG1722 sanctificationG38 of the SpiritG4151, untoG1519 obedienceG5218 andG2532 sprinklingG4473 of the bloodG129 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547: GraceG5485 unto youG5213, andG2532 peaceG1515, be multipliedG4129.
ThisG5026 secondG1208 epistleG1992, belovedG27, IG1125 nowG2235 writeG1125 unto youG5213; inG1722 both whichG3739 I stir upG1326 yourG5216 pureG1506 mindsG1271 by wayG1722 of remembranceG5280:
AndG2532 accountG2233 that the longsufferingG3115 of ourG2257 LordG2962 is salvationG4991; even asG2531 ourG2257 belovedG27 brotherG80 PaulG3972 alsoG2532 according toG2596 the wisdomG4678 givenG1325 unto himG846 hath writtenG1125 unto youG5213;
AsG5613 alsoG2532 inG1722 allG3956 his epistlesG1992, speakingG2980 inG1722 themG846 ofG4012 these thingsG5130; inG1722 whichG3739 areG2076 some thingsG5100 hard to be understoodG1425, whichG3739 they that are unlearnedG261 andG2532 unstableG793 wrestG4761, asG5613 they do alsoG2532 the otherG3062 scripturesG1124, untoG4314 theirG846 ownG2398 destructionG684.
GodG2316, who at sundry timesG4181 andG2532 in divers mannersG4187 spakeG2980 in time pastG3819 unto the fathersG3962 byG1722 the prophetsG4396,
HathG2980 inG1909 theseG5130 lastG2078 daysG2250 spokenG2980 unto usG2254 byG1722 his SonG5207, whomG3739 he hath appointedG5087 heirG2818 of all thingsG3956, byG1223 whomG3739 alsoG2532 he madeG4160 the worldsG165;
WhoG3739 beingG5607 the brightnessG541 of his gloryG1391, andG2532 the express imageG5481 of hisG846 personG5287, andG5037 upholdingG5342 all thingsG3956 by the wordG4487 of hisG846 powerG1411, when he hadG4160+G2512 byG1223 himselfG1438 purgedG4160+G2512 ourG2257 sinsG266, sat downG2523 onG1722 the right handG1188 of the MajestyG3172 onG1722 highG5308;
Being madeG1096 so muchG5118 better thanG2909 the angelsG32, asG3745 he hath by inheritance obtainedG2816 a more excellentG1313 nameG3686 thanG3844 theyG846.
ForG1063 unto whichG5101 of the angelsG32 said heG2036 at any timeG4218, ThouG4771 artG1488 myG3450 SonG5207, this dayG4594 haveG1080 IG1473 begottenG1080 theeG4571? AndG2532 againG3825, IG1473 will beG2071 toG1519 himG846 a FatherG3962, andG2532 heG846 shall beG2071 toG1519 meG3427 a SonG5207?
AndG1161 againG3825, whenG3752 he bringeth inG1521 the firstbegottenG4416 intoG1519 the worldG3625, he saithG3004, AndG2532 letG4352 allG3956 the angelsG32 of GodG2316 worshipG4352 himG846. {again…: or, when he bringeth again}
AndG2532 ofG4314+G3303 the angelsG32 he saithG3004, Who makethG4160 hisG846 angelsG32 spiritsG4151, andG2532 hisG846 ministersG3011 a flameG5395 of fireG4442. {And of: Gr. And unto}
ButG1161 untoG4314 the SonG5207 he saith, ThyG4675 throneG2362, O GodG2316, is forG1519 everG165 and everG165: a sceptreG4464 of righteousnessG2118 is the sceptreG4464 of thyG4675 kingdomG932. {righteousness: Gr. rightness, or, straightness}
Thou hast lovedG25 righteousnessG1343, andG2532 hatedG3404 iniquityG458; thereforeG1223+G5124 GodG2316, even thyG4675 GodG2316, hath anointedG5548 theeG4571 with the oilG1637 of gladnessG20 aboveG3844 thyG4675 fellowsG3353.
AndG2532, ThouG4771, LordG2962, inG2596 the beginningG746 hast laid the foundationG2311 of the earthG1093; andG2532 the heavensG3772 areG1526 the worksG2041 of thineG4675 handsG5495:
TheyG846 shall perishG622; butG1161 thouG4771 remainestG1265; andG2532 they allG3956 shall wax oldG3822 asG5613 doth a garmentG2440;
AndG2532 asG5616 a vestureG4018 shalt thou foldG1667 themG846 upG1667, andG2532 they shall be changedG236: butG1161 thouG4771 artG1488 the sameG846, andG2532 thyG4675 yearsG2094 shallG1587 notG3756 failG1587.
ButG1161 toG4314 whichG5101 of the angelsG32 said heG2046 at any timeG4218, SitG2521 onG1537 myG3450 right handG1188, untilG302+G2193 I makeG5087 thineG4675 enemiesG2190 thyG4675 footstoolG5286+G4228?
Are theyG1526 notG3780 allG3956 ministeringG3010 spiritsG4151, sent forthG649 toG1519 ministerG1248 forG1223 them who shallG3195 be heirs ofG2816 salvationG4991?
ThereforeG1223+G5124 weG2248 oughtG1163 to give the more earnestG4056 heedG4337 to the things which we have heardG191, lest at any timeG3379 we should let them slipG3901. {let…: Gr. run out as leaking vessels}
ForG1063 ifG1487 the wordG3056 spokenG2980 byG1223 angelsG32 wasG1096 stedfastG949, andG2532 everyG3956 transgressionG3847 andG2532 disobedienceG3876 receivedG2983 a justG1738 recompence of rewardG3405;
HowG4459 shall weG2249 escapeG1628, if we neglectG272 so greatG5082 salvationG4991; whichG3748 at the firstG746 beganG2983 to be spokenG2980 byG1223 the LordG2962, and was confirmedG950 untoG1519 usG2248 byG5259 them that heardG191 him;
GodG2316 also bearing them witnessG4901, bothG5037 with signsG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059, andG2532 with diversG4164 miraclesG1411, andG2532 giftsG3311 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151, according toG2596 his ownG846 willG2308? {gifts: or, distributions}
ForG1063 unto the angelsG32 hath heG5293 notG3756 put in subjectionG5293 the worldG3625 to comeG3195, whereofG4012+G3739 we speakG2980.
ButG1161 oneG5100 in a certain placeG4225 testifiedG1263, sayingG3004, WhatG5101 isG2076 manG444, thatG3754 thou art mindfulG3403 of himG846? orG2228 the sonG5207 of manG444, thatG3754 thou visitestG1980 himG846?
Thou madestG1642 himG846 a littleG1024+G5100 lowerG1642 thanG3844 the angelsG32; thou crownedstG4737 himG846 with gloryG1391 andG2532 honourG5092, andG2532 didst setG2525 himG846 overG1909 the worksG2041 of thyG4675 handsG5495: {lower…: or, while inferior to}
Thou hast putG5293 all thingsG3956 in subjectionG5293 underG5270 hisG846 feetG4228. ForG1063 inG1722 that he putG5293 allG3956 in subjection underG5293 himG846, he leftG863 nothing that is notG3762 put underG506 himG846. ButG1161 nowG3568 we seeG3708 not yetG3768 all thingsG3956 put underG5293 himG846.
ButG1161 we seeG991 JesusG2424, whoG3588 was madeG1642 a littleG1024+G5100 lowerG1642 thanG3844 the angelsG32 forG1223 the sufferingG3804 of deathG2288, crownedG4737 with gloryG1391 andG2532 honourG5092; thatG3704 heG1089 by the graceG5485 of GodG2316 should tasteG1089 deathG2288 forG5228 every manG3956. {for the: or, by the}
ForG1063 it becameG4241 himG846, forG1223 whomG3739 are all thingsG3956, andG2532 byG1223 whomG3739 are all thingsG3956, in bringingG71 manyG4183 sonsG5207 untoG1519 gloryG1391, to makeG5048 the captainG747 of theirG846 salvationG4991 perfectG5048 throughG1223 sufferingsG3804.
ForG1063 bothG5037 he that sanctifiethG37 andG2532 they who are sanctifiedG37 are allG3956 ofG1537 oneG1520: forG1223 whichG3739 causeG156 he isG1870 notG3756 ashamedG1870 to callG2564 themG846 brethrenG80,
SayingG3004, I will declareG518 thyG4675 nameG3686 unto myG3450 brethrenG80, inG1722 the midstG3319 of the churchG1577 will I sing praiseG5214 unto theeG4571.
AndG2532 againG3825, IG1473 willG2071 put my trustG3982 inG1909 himG846. AndG2532 againG3825, BeholdG2400 IG1473 andG2532 the childrenG3813 whichG3739 GodG2316 hath givenG1325 meG3427.
ForasmuchG1893 thenG3767 as the childrenG3813 are partakersG2841 of fleshG4561 andG2532 bloodG129, heG3348 alsoG2532 himselfG846 likewiseG3898 took partG3348 of the sameG846; thatG2443 throughG1223 deathG2288 he might destroyG2673 him that hadG2192 the powerG2904 of deathG2288, that isG5123, the devilG1228;
AndG2532 deliverG525 themG5128 whoG3745 throughG1223 fearG5401 of deathG2288 wereG2258 allG3956 their lifetimeG2198 subjectG1777 to bondageG1397.
ForG1063 verilyG1222 he tookG1949 notG3756 onG1949 him the nature of angelsG32; butG235 he took onG1949 him the seedG4690 of AbrahamG11. {took not…: Gr. taketh not hold of angels, but of the seed of Abraham he taketh hold}
WhereforeG3606 inG2596 all thingsG3956 it behoved himG3784 to be made likeG3666 unto his brethrenG80, thatG2443 he might beG1096 a mercifulG1655 andG2532 faithfulG4103 high priestG749 in things pertaining toG4314 GodG2316, toG1519 make reconciliation forG2433 the sinsG266 of the peopleG2992.
ForG1063 inG1722 thatG3739 heG3958 himselfG846 hath sufferedG3958 being temptedG3985, he is ableG1410 to succourG997 them that are temptedG3985.
WhereforeG3606, holyG40 brethrenG80, partakersG3353 of the heavenlyG2032 callingG2821, considerG2657 the ApostleG652 andG2532 High PriestG749 of ourG2257 professionG3671, ChristG5547 JesusG2424;
Who wasG5607 faithfulG4103 to him that appointedG4160 himG846, asG5613 alsoG2532 MosesG3475 was faithful inG1722 allG3650 hisG846 houseG3624. {appointed: Gr. made}
ForG1063 thisG3778 man was counted worthyG515 of moreG4119 gloryG1391 thanG3844 MosesG3475, inasmuch asG2596+G3745 he who hath buildedG2680 the houseG3624 hath moreG4119 honourG5092 thanG2192 the houseG846.
ForG1063 everyG3956 houseG3624 is buildedG2680 byG5259 someG5100 man; butG1161 he that builtG2680 all thingsG3956 is GodG2316.
AndG2532 MosesG3475 verilyG3303 was faithfulG4103 inG1722 allG3650 hisG846 houseG3624, asG5613 a servantG2324, forG1519 a testimonyG3142 of those things which were to be spoken afterG2980;
ButG1161 ChristG5547 asG5613 a sonG5207 overG1909 his ownG846 houseG3624; whoseG3739 houseG3624 areG2070 weG2249, ifG1437+G4007 we hold fastG2722 the confidenceG3954 andG2532 the rejoicingG2745 of the hopeG1680 firmG949 untoG3360 the endG5056.
WhereforeG1352 (asG2531 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 saithG3004, To dayG4594 ifG1437 ye will hearG191 hisG846 voiceG5456,
HardenG4645 notG3361 yourG5216 heartsG2588, asG5613 inG1722 the provocationG3894, inG2596 the dayG2250 of temptationG3986 inG1722 the wildernessG2048:
WhenG3757 yourG5216 fathersG3962 temptedG3985 meG3165, provedG1381 meG3165, andG2532 sawG1492 myG3450 worksG2041 fortyG5062 yearsG2094.
WhereforeG1352 I was grievedG4360 with thatG1565 generationG1074, andG2532 saidG2036, They doG4105 alwayG104 errG4105 in their heartG2588; andG1161 theyG846 haveG1097 notG3756 knownG1097 myG3450 waysG3598.
SoG5613 I swareG3660 inG1722 myG3450 wrathG3709, They shallG1525 notG1487 enterG1525 intoG1519 myG3450 restG2663.) {They…: Gr. If they shall enter}
Take heedG991, brethrenG80, lestG3379 there beG2071 inG1722 anyG5100 of youG5216 an evilG4190 heartG2588 of unbeliefG570, inG1722 departingG868 fromG575 the livingG2198 GodG2316.
ButG235 exhortG3870 one anotherG1438 dailyG2596+G1538+G2250, whileG891+G3739 it is calledG2564 To dayG4594; lestG3363 anyG5100 ofG1537 youG5216 be hardenedG4645 through the deceitfulnessG539 of sinG266.
ForG1063 we are madeG1096 partakersG3353 of ChristG5547, ifG1437+G4007 we holdG2722 the beginningG746 of our confidenceG5287 stedfastG949 untoG3360 the endG5056;
WhileG1722 it is saidG3004, To dayG4594 ifG1437 ye will hearG191 hisG846 voiceG5456, hardenG4645 notG3361 yourG5216 heartsG2588, asG5613 inG1722 the provocationG3894.
ForG1063 someG5100, when they had heardG191, did provokeG3893: howbeitG235 notG3756 allG3956 that cameG1831 out ofG1537 EgyptG125 byG1223 MosesG3475.
ButG1161 with whomG5101 was he grievedG4360 fortyG5062 yearsG2094? was it notG3780 with them that had sinnedG264, whoseG3739 carcasesG2966 fellG4098 inG1722 the wildernessG2048?
AndG1161 to whomG5101 sware heG3660 that they shouldG1525 notG3361 enterG1525 intoG1519 hisG846 restG2663, butG1508 to them that believed notG544?
SoG2532 we seeG991 thatG3754 they couldG1410 notG3756 enter inG1525 becauseG1223 of unbeliefG570.
Let usG5399 thereforeG3767 fearG5399, lestG3379, a promiseG1860 being leftG2641 us of enteringG1525 intoG1519 hisG846 restG2663, anyG5100 ofG1537 youG5216 should seemG1380 to come short of itG5302.
ForG2532+G1063 unto us wasG2070 the gospel preachedG2097, as well asG2509 unto themG2548: butG235 the wordG3056 preachedG189 didG5623 notG3756 profitG5623 themG1565, notG3361 being mixedG4786 with faithG4102 in them that heardG191 it. {the word…: Gr. the word of hearing} {not being…: or, because they were not united by faith to}
ForG1063 we whichG3588 have believedG4100 do enterG1525 intoG1519 restG2663, asG2531 he saidG2046, AsG5613 I have swornG3660 inG1722 myG3450 wrathG3709, ifG1487 they shall enterG1525 intoG1519 myG3450 restG2663: althoughG2543 the worksG2041 were finishedG1096 fromG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889.
ForG1063 he spakeG2046 in a certain placeG4225 ofG4012 the seventhG1442 day on this wiseG3779, AndG2532 GodG2316 did restG2664 the seventhG1722+G1442 dayG2250 fromG575 allG3956 hisG846 worksG2041.
AndG2532 inG1722 thisG5129 place againG3825, IfG1487 they shall enterG1525 intoG1519 myG3450 restG2663.
SeeingG1893 thereforeG3767 it remainethG620 that someG5100 must enterG1525 thereinG1519+G846, andG2532 they to whom it was firstG4386 preachedG2097 enteredG1525 notG3756 inG1525 becauseG1223 of unbeliefG543: {it was: or, the gospel was}
AgainG3825, he limitethG3724 a certainG5100 dayG2250, sayingG3004 inG1722 DavidG1138, To dayG4594, afterG3326 so longG5118 a timeG5550; asG2531 it is saidG2046, To dayG4594 ifG1437 ye will hearG191 hisG846 voiceG5456, hardenG4645 notG3361 yourG5216 heartsG2588.
ForG1063 ifG1487 JesusG2424 had givenG2664 themG846 restG2664, then would heG302 notG3756 afterwardG3326+G5023 have spokenG2980 ofG4012 anotherG243 dayG2250. {Jesus: that is, Joshua}
There remainethG620 thereforeG686 a restG4520 to the peopleG2992 of GodG2316. {rest: or, keeping of a sabbath}
ForG1063 he that is enteredG1525 intoG1519 hisG846 restG2663, heG846 alsoG2532 hath ceasedG2664 fromG575 his ownG846 worksG2041, asG5618 GodG2316 did fromG575 hisG2398.
Let us labourG4704 thereforeG3767 to enterG1525 intoG1519 thatG1565 restG2663, lestG3363 any manG5100 fallG4098 afterG1722 the sameG846 exampleG5262 of unbeliefG543. {unbelief: or, disobedience}
ForG1063 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 is quickG2198, andG2532 powerfulG1756, andG2532 sharperG5114 thanG5228 anyG3956 twoedgedG1366 swordG3162, piercingG1338 even toG891 the dividing asunderG3311 of soulG5590 andG5037+G2532 spiritG4151, andG5037+G2532 of the jointsG719 andG2532 marrowG3452, andG2532 is a discernerG2924 of the thoughtsG1761 andG2532 intentsG1771 of the heartG2588.
NeitherG2532+G3756 is thereG2076 any creatureG2937 that is not manifestG852 in hisG846 sightG1799: butG1161 all thingsG3956 are nakedG1131 andG2532 openedG5136 unto the eyesG3788 of himG846 withG4314 whomG3739 we haveG2254 to doG3056.
SeeingG2192 thenG3767 that we haveG2192 a greatG3173 high priestG749, that is passed intoG1330 the heavensG3772, JesusG2424 the SonG5207 of GodG2316, let us hold fastG2902 our professionG3671.
ForG1063 we haveG2192 notG3756 an high priestG749 which cannotG3361+G1410 be touched with the feelingG4834 of ourG2257 infirmitiesG769; butG1161 wasG3985 inG2596 all pointsG3956 temptedG3985+G3987 likeG2596 asG3665 we are, yet withoutG5565 sinG266.
Let usG4334 thereforeG3767 comeG4334 boldlyG3326+G3954 unto the throneG2362 of graceG5485, thatG2443 we may obtainG2983 mercyG1656, andG2532 findG2147 graceG5485 to helpG996 inG1519 time of needG2121.
ForG1063 everyG3956 high priestG749 takenG2983 from amongG1537 menG444 is ordainedG2525 forG5228 menG444 in things pertaining toG4314 GodG2316, thatG2443 he may offerG4374 bothG5037 giftsG1435 andG2532 sacrificesG2378 forG5228 sinsG266:
Who canG1410 have compassionG3356 on the ignorantG50, andG2532 on them that are out of the wayG4105; forG1893 that heG4029 himselfG846 alsoG2532 is compassedG4029 with infirmityG769. {can…: or, can reasonably bear with}
AndG2532 by reasonG1223 hereofG5026 he oughtG3784, asG2531 forG4012 the peopleG2992, soG3779 alsoG2532 forG4012 himselfG1438, to offerG4374 forG5228 sinsG266.
AndG2532 noG3756 manG5100 takethG2983 this honourG5092 unto himselfG1438, butG235 he that is calledG2564 ofG5259 GodG2316, asG2509+G2532 was AaronG2.
SoG3779 alsoG2532 ChristG5547 glorifiedG1392 notG3756 himselfG1438 to be madeG1096 an high priestG749; butG235 he that saidG2980 untoG4314 himG846, ThouG4771 artG1488 myG3450 SonG5207, to dayG4594 haveG1080 IG1473 begottenG1080 theeG4571.
AsG2531 he saithG3004 alsoG2532 inG1722 anotherG2087 place, ThouG4771 art a priestG2409 forG1519 everG165 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of MelchisedecG3198.
WhoG3739 inG1722 the daysG2250 of hisG846 fleshG4561, when he had offered upG4374 prayersG1162 andG5037+G2532 supplicationsG2428 withG3326 strongG2478 cryingG2906 andG2532 tearsG1144 untoG4314 him that was ableG1410 to saveG4982 himG846 fromG1537 deathG2288, andG2532 was heardG1522 in thatG575 he fearedG2124; {in that…: or, for his piety}
ThoughG2539 he wereG5607 a SonG5207, yet learned heG3129 obedienceG5218 byG575 the things whichG3739 he sufferedG3958;
AndG2532 being made perfectG5048, he becameG1096 the authorG159 of eternalG166 salvationG4991 unto allG3956 them that obeyG5219 himG846;
CalledG4316 ofG5259 GodG2316 an high priestG749 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of MelchisedecG3198.
OfG4012 whomG3739 weG2254 haveG3056 many thingsG4183 to sayG3056, andG2532 hardG1421 to be utteredG3004, seeingG1893 ye areG1096 dullG3576 of hearingG189.
ForG2532+G1063 when forG1223 the timeG5550 ye oughtG3784 to beG1511 teachersG1320, ye haveG2192 needG5532 that one teachG1321 youG5209 againG3825 whichG5101 be the firstG746 principlesG4747 of the oraclesG3051 of GodG2316; andG2532 are become such asG1096 haveG2192 needG5532 of milkG1051, andG2532 notG3756 of strongG4731 meatG5160.
ForG1063 every oneG3956 that usethG3348 milkG1051 is unskilfulG552 in the wordG3056 of righteousnessG1343: forG1063 he isG2076 a babeG3516. {is unskillful: Gr. hath no experience}
ButG1161 strongG4731 meatG5160 belongeth to them that areG2076 of full ageG5046, even those who by reasonG1223 of useG1838 haveG2192 their sensesG145 exercisedG1128 toG4314 discernG1253 bothG5037 goodG2570 andG2532 evilG2556. {of full age: or, perfect} {use: or, an habit, or, perfection}
ThereforeG1352 leavingG863 the principlesG746 of the doctrineG3056 of ChristG5547, let us go onG5342 untoG1909 perfectionG5047; notG3361 layingG2598 againG3825 the foundationG2310 of repentanceG3341 fromG575 deadG3498 worksG2041, andG2532 of faithG4102 towardG1909 GodG2316, {principles…: or, word of the beginning of}
Of the doctrineG1322 of baptismsG909, andG5037 of laying onG1936 of handsG5495, andG5037 of resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498, andG2532 of eternalG166 judgmentG2917.
AndG2532 thisG5124 will we doG4160, ifG1437+G4007 GodG2316 permitG2010.
ForG1063 it is impossibleG102 for those who were onceG530 enlightenedG5461, andG5037 have tastedG1089 of the heavenlyG2032 giftG1431, andG2532 were madeG1096 partakersG3353 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151,
AndG2532 have tastedG1089 the goodG2570 wordG4487 of GodG2316, andG5037 the powersG1411 of the worldG165 to comeG3195,
IfG2532 they shall fall awayG3895, to renew themG340 againG3825 untoG1519 repentanceG3341; seeing they crucifyG388 to themselvesG1438 the SonG5207 of GodG2316 afreshG388, andG2532 put him to an open shameG3856.
ForG1063 the earthG1093 whichG3588 drinketh inG4095 the rainG5205 that comethG2064 oftG4178 uponG1909 itG846, andG2532 bringeth forthG5088 herbsG1008 meetG2111 for themG1565+G2532 byG1223 whomG3739 it is dressedG1090, receivethG3335 blessingG2129 fromG575 GodG2316: {by: or, for}
ButG1161 that which bearethG1627 thornsG173 andG2532 briersG5146 is rejectedG96, andG2532 is nighG1451 unto cursingG2671; whoseG3739 endG5056 is toG1519 be burnedG2740.
ButG1161, belovedG27, we are persuadedG3982 better thingsG2909 ofG4012 youG5216, andG2532 things that accompanyG2192 salvationG4991, thoughG1499 weG2980 thusG3779 speakG2980.
ForG1063 GodG2316 is notG3756 unrighteousG94 to forgetG1950 yourG5216 workG2041 andG2532 labourG2873 of loveG26, whichG3739 ye have shewedG1731 towardG1519 hisG846 nameG3686, in that ye have ministeredG1247 to the saintsG40, andG2532 do ministerG1247.
AndG1161 we desireG1937 that every oneG1538 of youG5216 do shewG1731 the sameG846 diligenceG4710 toG4314 the full assuranceG4136 of hopeG1680 untoG891 the endG5056:
ThatG3363 ye beG1096 notG3363 slothfulG3576, butG1161 followersG3402 of them who throughG1223 faithG4102 andG2532 patienceG3115 inheritG2816 the promisesG1860.
ForG1063 when GodG2316 made promiseG1861 to AbrahamG11, becauseG1893 he couldG2192 swearG3660 byG2596 noG3762 greaterG3187, he swareG3660 byG2596 himselfG1438,
SayingG3004, SurelyG2229+G3375 blessingG2127 I will blessG2127 theeG4571, andG2532 multiplyingG4129 I will multiplyG4129 theeG4571.
AndG2532 soG3779, after he had patiently enduredG3114, he obtainedG2013 the promiseG1860.
ForG1063 menG444 verilyG3303 swearG3660 byG2596 the greaterG3187: andG2532 an oathG3727 forG1519 confirmationG951 is to themG846 an endG4009 of allG3956 strifeG485.
WhereinG1722+G3739 GodG2316, willingG1014 more abundantlyG4054 to shewG1925 unto the heirsG2818 of promiseG1860 the immutabilityG276 of hisG846 counselG1012, confirmedG3315 it by an oathG3727: {confirmed…: Gr. interposed himself by}
ThatG2443 byG1223 twoG1417 immutableG276 thingsG4229, inG1722 whichG3739 it was impossibleG102 for GodG2316 to lieG5574, we might haveG2192 a strongG2478 consolationG3874, whoG3588 have fled for refugeG2703 to lay holdG2902 upon the hopeG1680 set before usG4295:
WhichG3739 hope we haveG2192 asG5613 an anchorG45 of the soulG5590, bothG5037 sureG804 andG2532 stedfastG949, andG2532 which enterethG1525 intoG1519 that withinG2082 the veilG2665;
WhitherG3699 the forerunnerG4274 isG1525 forG5228 usG2257 enteredG1525, even JesusG2424, madeG1096 an high priestG749 forG1519 everG165 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of MelchisedecG3198.
ForG1063 thisG3778 MelchisedecG3198, kingG935 of SalemG4532, priestG2409 of the most highG5310 GodG2316, whoG3588 metG4876 AbrahamG11 returningG5290 fromG575 the slaughterG2871 of the kingsG935, andG2532 blessedG2127 himG846;
To whomG3739 alsoG2532 AbrahamG11 gaveG3307 a tenth partG1181 ofG575 allG3956; firstG4412+G3303 being by interpretationG2059 KingG935 of righteousnessG1343, andG1161 after thatG1899 alsoG2532 KingG935 of SalemG4532, which isG3603, KingG935 of peaceG1515;
Without fatherG540, without motherG282, without descentG35, havingG2192 neitherG3383 beginningG746 of daysG2250, norG3383 endG5056 of lifeG2222; butG1161 made likeG871 unto the SonG5207 of GodG2316; abidethG3306 a priestG2409 continuallyG1519+G1336. {without descent: Gr. without pedigree}
NowG1161 considerG2334 how greatG4080 this manG3778 was, unto whomG3739 evenG2532 the patriarchG3966 AbrahamG11 gaveG1325 the tenthG1181 ofG1537 the spoilsG205.
AndG2532 verilyG3303 they that are ofG1537 the sonsG5207 of LeviG3017, whoG3588 receiveG2983 the office of the priesthoodG2405, haveG2192 a commandmentG1785 to take tithesG586 of the peopleG2992 according toG2596 the lawG3551, that isG5123, of theirG846 brethrenG80, thoughG2539 they comeG1831 out ofG1537 the loinsG3751 of AbrahamG11:
ButG1161 he whose descent isG1075 notG3361 countedG1075 fromG1537 themG846 received tithesG1183 of AbrahamG11, andG2532 blessedG2127 him that hadG2192 the promisesG1860. {descent: or, pedigree}
AndG1161 withoutG5565 allG3956 contradictionG485 the lessG1640 is blessedG2127 ofG5259 the betterG2909.
AndG2532 hereG5602+G3303 menG444 that dieG599 receiveG2983 tithesG1181; butG1161 thereG1563 he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessedG3140 thatG3754 he livethG2198.
AndG2532 asG5613 I may so sayG2031+G2036, LeviG3017 alsoG2532, whoG3588 receivethG2983 tithesG1181, payed tithesG1183 inG1223 AbrahamG11.
ForG1063 he wasG2258 yetG2089 inG1722 the loinsG3751 of his fatherG3962, whenG3753 MelchisedecG3198 metG4876 himG846.
IfG1487+G3303 thereforeG3767 perfectionG5050 wereG2258 byG1223 the LeviticalG3020 priesthoodG2420, (forG1063 underG1909 itG846 the peopleG2992 received the lawG3549,) whatG5101 furtherG2089 needG5532 was there that anotherG2087 priestG2409 should riseG450 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of MelchisedecG3198, andG2532 notG3756 be calledG3004 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of AaronG2?
ForG1063 the priesthoodG2420 being changedG3346, there is madeG1096 ofG1537 necessityG318 a changeG3331 alsoG2532 of the lawG3551.
ForG1063 he ofG1909 whomG3739 these thingsG5023 are spokenG3004 pertainethG3348 to anotherG2087 tribeG5443, ofG575 whichG3739 no manG3762 gave attendanceG4337 at the altarG2379.
ForG1063 it is evidentG4271 thatG3754 ourG2257 LordG2962 sprangG393 out ofG1537 JudaG2455; ofG1519 whichG3739 tribeG5443 MosesG3475 spakeG2980 nothingG3762 concerningG4012 priesthoodG2420.
AndG2532 it isG2076 yetG2089 far moreG4054 evidentG2612: forG1487 that afterG2596 the similitudeG3665 of MelchisedecG3198 there arisethG450 anotherG2087 priestG2409,
WhoG3739 is madeG1096, notG3756 afterG2596 the lawG3551 of a carnalG4559 commandmentG1785, butG235 afterG2596 the powerG1411 of an endlessG179 lifeG2222.
ForG1063 he testifiethG3140+G3754, ThouG4771 art a priestG2409 forG1519 everG165 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of MelchisedecG3198.
ForG1063 there isG1096 verilyG3303 a disannullingG115 of the commandmentG1785 going beforeG4254 forG1223 the weaknessG772 andG2532 unprofitablenessG512 thereofG846.
ForG1063 the lawG3551 madeG5048 nothingG3762 perfectG5048, butG1161 the bringing inG1898 of a betterG2909 hopeG1680 did; byG1223 the whichG3739 we draw nighG1448 unto GodG2316. {the bringing…: or, it was the bringing in}
AndG2532 inasmuch asG2596+G3745 notG3756 withoutG5565 an oathG3728 he was made priest:
(ForG1063 those priestsG2409 wereG3303+G1526 madeG1096 withoutG5565 an oathG3728; butG1161 this withG3326 an oathG3728 byG1223 him that saidG3004 untoG4314 himG846, The LordG2962 swareG3660 andG2532 willG3338 notG3756 repentG3338, ThouG4771 art a priestG2409 forG1519 everG165 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of MelchisedecG3198:) {without…: or, without swearing of an oath}
ByG2596 so muchG5118 wasG1096 JesusG2424 madeG1096 a suretyG1450 of a betterG2909 testamentG1242.
AndG2532 theyG1526 trulyG3303 wereG1526+G1096 manyG4119 priestsG2409, because they were not sufferedG2967 to continueG3887 by reason ofG1223 deathG2288:
ButG1161 this man, becauseG1223 heG846 continuethG3306 everG1519+G165, hathG2192 an unchangeableG531 priesthoodG2420. {an…: or, which passeth not from one to another}
WhereforeG3606 he is ableG1410 alsoG2532 to save themG4982 toG1519 the uttermostG3838 that comeG4334 unto GodG2316 byG1223 himG846, seeing he everG3842 livethG2198 toG1519 make intercessionG1793 forG5228 themG846. {to the…: or, evermore}
ForG1063 suchG5108 an high priestG749 becameG4241 usG2254, who is holyG3741, harmlessG172, undefiledG283, separateG5563 fromG575 sinnersG268, andG2532 madeG1096 higher thanG5308 the heavensG3772;
WhoG3739 needethG2192+G318 notG3756 dailyG2596+G2250, asG5618 those high priestsG749, to offer upG399 sacrificeG2378, firstG4386 forG5228 his ownG2398 sinsG266, and thenG1899 for the people'sG2992: forG1063 thisG5124 he didG4160 onceG2178, when he offered upG399 himselfG1438.
ForG1063 the lawG3551 makethG2525 menG444 high priestsG749 which haveG2192 infirmityG769; butG1161 the wordG3056 of the oathG3728, whichG3588 was sinceG3326 the lawG3551, maketh the SonG5207, who is consecratedG5048 forG1519 evermoreG165. {consecrated: Gr. perfected}
NowG1161 ofG1909 the things which we have spokenG3004 this is the sumG2774: We haveG2192 suchG5108 an high priestG749, whoG3739 is setG2523 onG1722 the right handG1188 of the throneG2362 of the MajestyG3172 inG1722 the heavensG3772;
A ministerG3011 of the sanctuaryG39, andG2532 of the trueG228 tabernacleG4633, whichG3739 the LordG2962 pitchedG4078, andG2532 notG3756 manG444. {of the sanctuary: or, of holy things}
ForG1063 everyG3956 high priestG749 is ordainedG2525 toG1519 offerG4374 giftsG1435 andG5037+G2532 sacrificesG2378: whereforeG3606 it is of necessityG316 that this manG5126 haveG2192 somewhatG5100 alsoG2532 toG3739 offerG4374.
ForG1063 ifG1487+G3303 he wereG2258 onG1909 earthG1093, he shouldG302 notG3761 beG2258 a priestG2409, seeing that there areG5607 priestsG2409 that offerG4374 giftsG1435 accordingG2596 to the lawG3551: {there…: or, they are priests}
WhoG3748 serveG3000 unto the exampleG5262 andG2532 shadowG4639 of heavenly thingsG2032, asG2531 MosesG3475 was admonished of GodG5537 when he was aboutG3195 to makeG2005 the tabernacleG4633: forG1063, SeeG3708, saith heG5346, that thou makeG4160 all thingsG3956 according toG2596 the patternG5179 shewedG1166 to theeG4671 inG1722 the mountG3735.
ButG1161 nowG3570 hath he obtainedG5177 a more excellentG1313 ministryG3009, by how muchG3745 alsoG2532 he isG2076 the mediatorG3316 of a betterG2909 covenantG1242, whichG3748 was establishedG3549 uponG1909 betterG2909 promisesG1860. {covenant: or, testament}
ForG1063 ifG1487 thatG1565 firstG4413 covenant had beenG2258 faultlessG273, then shouldG302 noG3756 placeG5117 have been soughtG2212 for the secondG1208.
ForG1063 finding faultG3201 with themG846, he saithG3004, BeholdG2400, the daysG2250 comeG2064, saithG3004 the LordG2962, whenG2532 I will makeG4931 a newG2537 covenantG1242 withG1909 the houseG3624 of IsraelG2474 andG2532 withG1909 the houseG3624 of JudahG2455:
NotG3756 according toG2596 the covenantG1242 thatG3739 I made withG4160 theirG846 fathersG3962 inG1722 the dayG2250 when I tookG1949 themG846 by the handG3450+G5495 to leadG1806 themG846 out ofG1537 the landG1093 of EgyptG125; becauseG3754 theyG846 continuedG1696 notG3756 inG1722 myG3450 covenantG1242, and IG2504 regardedG272 themG846 notG272, saithG3004 the LordG2962.
ForG3754 thisG3778 is the covenantG1242 thatG3739 I will makeG1303 with the houseG3624 of IsraelG2474 afterG3326 thoseG1565 daysG2250, saithG3004 the LordG2962; I will putG1325 myG3450 lawsG3551 intoG1519 theirG846 mindG1271, andG2532 writeG1924 themG846 inG1909 theirG846 heartsG2588: andG2532 I will beG2071 toG1519 themG846 a GodG2316, andG2532 theyG846 shall beG2071 toG1519 meG3427 a peopleG2992: {put: Gr. give} {in: or, upon}
AndG2532 they shallG1321 notG3364 teachG1321 every manG1538 hisG846 neighbourG4139, andG2532 every manG1538 hisG846 brotherG80, sayingG3004, KnowG1097 the LordG2962: forG3754 allG3956 shall knowG1492 meG3165, fromG575 the leastG3398+G846 toG2193 the greatestG3173+G846.
ForG3754 I will beG2071 mercifulG2436 to theirG846 unrighteousnessG93, andG2532 theirG846 sinsG266 andG2532 theirG846 iniquitiesG458 will I rememberG3415 noG3364 moreG2089.
InG1722 that he saithG3004, A newG2537 covenant, he hath madeG3822 the firstG4413 oldG3822. NowG1161 that which decayethG3822 andG2532 waxeth oldG1095 is readyG1451 to vanish awayG854.
ThenG3767 verilyG3303 the firstG4413 covenant hadG2192 alsoG2532 ordinancesG1345 of divine serviceG2999, andG5037 a worldlyG2886 sanctuaryG39. {ordinances: or, ceremonies}
ForG1063 there wasG2680 a tabernacleG4633 madeG2680; the firstG4413, whereinG1722+G3739+G5037 was the candlestickG3087, andG2532 the tableG5132, andG2532 the shewbreadG4286+G740; whichG3748 is calledG3004 the sanctuaryG39. {the sanctuary: or, holy}
AndG1161 afterG3326 the secondG1208 veilG2665, the tabernacleG4633 whichG3588 is calledG3004 the Holiest of allG39+G39;
Which hadG2192 the goldenG5552 censerG2369, andG2532 the arkG2787 of the covenantG1242 overlaidG4028 round aboutG3840 with goldG5553, whereinG1722+G3739 was the goldenG5552 potG4713 that hadG2192 mannaG3131, andG2532 Aaron'sG2 rodG4464 that buddedG985, andG2532 the tablesG4109 of the covenantG1242;
AndG1161 overG5231 itG846 the cherubimsG5502 of gloryG1391 shadowingG2683 the mercyseatG2435; ofG4012 whichG3739 we cannotG3756+G2076 nowG3568 speakG3004 particularlyG2596+G3313.
NowG1161 when these thingsG5130 wereG2680 thusG3779 ordainedG2680, the priestsG2409 wentG1524 alwaysG1275 intoG1519+G3303 the firstG4413 tabernacleG4633, accomplishingG2005 the serviceG2999 of God.
ButG1161 intoG1519 the secondG1208 went the high priestG749 aloneG3441 onceG530 every yearG1763, notG3756 withoutG5565 bloodG129, whichG3739 he offeredG4374 forG5228 himselfG1438, andG2532 for the errorsG51 of the peopleG2992:
The HolyG40 GhostG4151 thisG5124 signifyingG1213, that the wayG3598 into the holiest of allG39 wasG5319 not yetG3380 made manifestG5319, while as the firstG4413 tabernacleG4633 wasG2192 yetG2089 standingG4714:
WhichG3748 was a figureG3850 forG1519 the timeG2540 then presentG1764, inG2596 whichG3739 were offeredG4374 bothG5037 giftsG1435 andG2532 sacrificesG2378, that couldG1410 notG3361 makeG5048 him that did the serviceG3000 perfectG5048, as pertaining toG2596 the conscienceG4893;
Which stood onlyG3440 inG1909 meatsG1033 andG2532 drinksG4188, andG2532 diversG1313 washingsG909, andG2532 carnalG4561 ordinancesG1345, imposedG1945 on them untilG3360 the timeG2540 of reformationG1357. {ordinances: or, rites, or, ceremonies}
ButG1161 ChristG5547 being comeG3854 an high priestG749 of good thingsG18 to comeG3195, byG1223 a greaterG3187 andG2532 more perfectG5046 tabernacleG4633, notG3756 made with handsG5499, that is to sayG5123, notG3756 of thisG5026 buildingG2937;
NeitherG3761 byG1223 the bloodG129 of goatsG5131 andG2532 calvesG3448, butG1161 byG1223 his ownG2398 bloodG129 he entered inG1525 onceG2178 intoG1519 the holy placeG39, having obtainedG2147 eternalG166 redemptionG3085 for us.
ForG1063 ifG1487 the bloodG129 of bullsG5022 andG2532 of goatsG5131, andG2532 the ashesG4700 of an heiferG1151 sprinklingG4472 the uncleanG2840, sanctifiethG37 toG4314 the purifyingG2514 of the fleshG4561:
How muchG4214 moreG3123 shallG2511 the bloodG129 of ChristG5547, whoG3739 throughG1223 the eternalG166 SpiritG4151 offeredG4374 himselfG1438 without spotG299 to GodG2316, purgeG2511 yourG5216 conscienceG4893 fromG575 deadG3498 worksG2041 toG1519 serveG3000 the livingG2198 GodG2316? {spot: or, fault}
AndG2532 for thisG5124 causeG1223 he isG2076 the mediatorG3316 of the newG2537 testamentG1242, thatG3704 by meansG1096 of deathG2288, forG1519 the redemptionG629 of the transgressionsG3847 that were underG1909 the firstG4413 testamentG1242, they which are calledG2564 might receiveG2983 the promiseG1860 of eternalG166 inheritanceG2817.
ForG1063 whereG3699 a testamentG1242 is, there must also of necessityG318 beG5342 the deathG2288 of the testatorG1303. {be: or, be brought in}
ForG1063 a testamentG1242 is of forceG949 afterG1909 men are deadG3498: otherwiseG1893 it is ofG2480 noG3379 strengthG2480 at allG3379 whileG3753 the testatorG1303 livethG2198.
WhereuponG3606 neitherG3761 the firstG4413 testament was dedicatedG1457 withoutG5565 bloodG129. {dedicated: or, purified}
ForG1063 whenG5259 MosesG3475 had spokenG2980 everyG3956 preceptG1785 to allG3956 the peopleG2992 accordingG2596 to the lawG3551, he tookG2983 the bloodG129 of calvesG3448 andG2532 of goatsG5131, withG3326 waterG5204, andG2532 scarletG2847 woolG2053, andG2532 hyssopG5301, and sprinkledG4472 bothG5037 the bookG975+G846, andG2532 allG3956 the peopleG2992, {scarlet: or, purple}
SayingG3004, ThisG5124 is the bloodG129 of the testamentG1242 whichG3739 GodG2316 hath enjoinedG1781 untoG4314 youG5209.
MoreoverG1161+G3668 he sprinkledG4472 with bloodG129 bothG2532 the tabernacleG4633, andG2532 allG3956 the vesselsG4632 of the ministryG3009.
AndG2532 almostG4975 all thingsG3956 areG2511 byG2596 the lawG3551 purgedG2511 withG1722 bloodG129; andG2532 withoutG5565 shedding of bloodG130 isG1096 noG3756 remissionG859.
It was thereforeG3767 necessaryG318 that the patternsG5262 of thingsG3303 inG1722 the heavensG3772 should be purifiedG2511 with theseG5125; butG1161 the heavenly thingsG2032 themselvesG846 with betterG2909 sacrificesG2378 thanG3844 theseG5025.
ForG1063 ChristG5547 isG1525 notG3756 enteredG1525 intoG1519 the holy placesG39 made with handsG5499, which are the figuresG499 of the trueG228; butG235 intoG1519 heavenG3772 itselfG846, nowG3568 to appearG1718 in the presenceG4383 of GodG2316 forG5228 usG2257:
NorG3761 yet thatG2443 he should offerG4374 himselfG1438 oftenG4178, asG5618 the high priestG749 enterethG1525 intoG1519 the holy placeG39 everyG2596 yearG1763 withG1722 bloodG129 of othersG245;
For thenG1893 mustG1163 heG846 oftenG4178 have sufferedG3958 sinceG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889: butG1161 nowG3568 onceG530 inG1909 the endG4930 of the worldG165 hath he appearedG5319 toG1519 put awayG115 sinG266 byG1223 the sacrificeG2378 of himselfG846.
AndG2532 asG2596+G3745 it is appointedG606 unto menG444 onceG530 to dieG599, butG1161 afterG3326 thisG5124 the judgmentG2920:
SoG3779 ChristG5547 was onceG530 offeredG4374 toG1519 bearG399 the sinsG266 of manyG4183; and unto them that lookG553 for himG846 shall he appearG3700+G1537 the second timeG1208 withoutG5565 sinG266 untoG1519 salvationG4991.
ForG1063 the lawG3551 havingG2192 a shadowG4639 of good thingsG18 to comeG3195, and notG3756 the veryG846 imageG1504 of the thingsG4229, canG1410 neverG3763 with thoseG846 sacrificesG2378 whichG3739 they offeredG4374 year by yearG2596+G1763 continuallyG1519+G1336 makeG5048 the comers thereuntoG4334 perfectG5048.
For thenG1893 would theyG302 notG3756 have ceasedG3973 to be offeredG4374? becauseG1223 that the worshippersG3000 onceG530 purgedG2508 should have hadG2192 noG3367 moreG2089 conscienceG4893 of sinsG266. {would…: or, they would have ceased to be offered, because, etc.}
ButG235 inG1722 thoseG846 sacrifices there is a remembrance againG364 made of sinsG266 everyG2596 yearG1763.
ForG1063 it is not possibleG102 that the bloodG129 of bullsG5022 andG2532 of goatsG5131 should take awayG851 sinsG266.
WhereforeG1352 when he comethG1525 intoG1519 the worldG2889, he saithG3004, SacrificeG2378 andG2532 offeringG4376 thou wouldestG2309 notG3756, butG1161 a bodyG4983 hast thou preparedG2675 meG3427: {hast…: or, thou hast fitted me}
In burnt offeringsG3646 andG2532 sacrifices forG4012 sinG266 thou hast hadG2106 noG3756 pleasureG2106.
ThenG5119 said IG2036, LoG2400, I comeG2240 (inG1722 the volumeG2777 of the bookG975 it is writtenG1125 ofG4012 meG1700,) to doG4160 thyG4675 willG2307, O GodG2316.
AboveG511 when he saidG3004+G3754, SacrificeG2378 andG2532 offeringG4376 andG2532 burnt offeringsG3646 andG2532 offering forG4012 sinG266 thou wouldestG2309 notG3756, neitherG3761 hadst pleasureG2106 therein; whichG3748 are offeredG4374 byG2596 the lawG3551;
ThenG5119 said heG2046, LoG2400, I comeG2240 to doG4160 thyG4675 willG2307, O GodG2316. He taketh awayG337 the firstG4413, thatG2443 he may establishG2476 the secondG1208.
ByG1722 the whichG3739 willG2307 we areG2070 sanctifiedG37 throughG1223 the offeringG4376 of the bodyG4983 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 onceG2178 for all.
AndG2532+G3303 everyG3956 priestG2409 standethG2476 dailyG2596+G2250 ministeringG3008 andG2532 offeringG4374 oftentimesG4178 the sameG846 sacrificesG2378, whichG3748 canG1410 neverG3763 take awayG4014 sinsG266:
ButG1161 this manG846, after he had offeredG4374 oneG3391 sacrificeG2378 forG5228 sinsG266 forG1519 everG1336, sat downG2523 onG1722 the right handG1188 of GodG2316;
From henceforthG3063 expectingG1551 tillG2193 hisG846 enemiesG2190 be madeG5087 hisG846 footstoolG5286+G4228.
ForG1063 by oneG3391 offeringG4376 he hath perfectedG5048 forG1519 everG1336 them that are sanctifiedG37.
WhereofG1161 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 alsoG2532 is a witnessG3140 to usG2254: forG1063 afterG3326 that he had said beforeG4280,
ThisG3778 is the covenantG1242 thatG3739 I will makeG1303 withG4314 themG846 afterG3326 thoseG1565 daysG2250, saithG3004 the LordG2962, I will putG1325 myG3450 lawsG3551 intoG1909 theirG846 heartsG2588, andG2532 inG1909 theirG846 mindsG1271 will I writeG1924 themG846;
AndG2532 theirG846 sinsG266 andG2532 iniquitiesG458+G846 will I rememberG3415 noG3364 moreG2089. {And their: some copies have, Then he said, And their}
NowG1161 whereG3699 remissionG859 of theseG5130 is, there is no moreG3765 offeringG4376 forG4012 sinG266.
HavingG2192 thereforeG3767, brethrenG80, boldnessG3954 toG1519 enterG1529 into the holiestG39 byG1722 the bloodG129 of JesusG2424, {boldness: or, liberty}
By a newG4372 andG2532 livingG2198 wayG3598, whichG3739 he hath consecratedG1457 for usG2254, throughG1223 the veilG2665, that is to sayG5123, hisG846 fleshG4561; {consecrated: or, new made}
AndG2532 having an highG3173 priestG2409 overG1909 the houseG3624 of GodG2316;
Let us draw nearG4334 withG3326 a trueG228 heartG2588 inG1722 full assuranceG4136 of faithG4102, havingG4472 our heartsG2588 sprinkledG4472 fromG575 an evilG4190 conscienceG4893, andG2532 our bodiesG4983 washedG3068 with pureG2513 waterG5204.
Let us hold fastG2722 the professionG3671 of our faithG1680 without waveringG186; (forG1063 he is faithfulG4103 that promisedG1861;)
AndG2532 let us considerG2657 one anotherG240 toG1519 provokeG3948 unto loveG26 andG2532 to goodG2570 worksG2041:
NotG3361 forsakingG1459 the assemblingG1997 of ourselvesG1438 togetherG1997, asG2531 the mannerG1485 of someG5100 is; butG235 exhortingG3870 one another: andG2532 so muchG5118 the moreG3123, asG3745 ye seeG991 the dayG2250 approachingG1448.
ForG1063 if weG2257 sinG264 wilfullyG1596 afterG3326 that we have receivedG2983 the knowledgeG1922 of the truthG225, there remainethG620 no moreG3765 sacrificeG2378 forG4012 sinsG266,
ButG1161 a certainG5100 fearfulG5398 looking forG1561 of judgmentG2920 andG2532 fieryG4442 indignationG2205, which shallG3195 devourG2068 the adversariesG5227.
HeG5100 that despisedG114 Moses'G3475 lawG3551 diedG599 withoutG5565 mercyG3628 underG1909 twoG1417 orG2228 threeG5140 witnessesG3144:
Of how muchG4214 sorerG5501 punishmentG5098, suppose yeG1380, shall he be thought worthyG515, whoG3588 hath trodden under footG2662 the SonG5207 of GodG2316, andG2532 hath countedG2233 the bloodG129 of the covenantG1242, wherewithG3739+G1722 he was sanctifiedG37, an unholy thingG2839, andG2532 hath done despiteG1796 unto the SpiritG4151 of graceG5485?
ForG1063 we knowG1492 him that hath saidG2036, VengeanceG1557 belongeth unto meG1698, IG1473 will recompenseG467, saithG3004 the LordG2962. AndG2532 againG3825, The LordG2962 shall judgeG2919 hisG846 peopleG2992.
It is a fearful thingG5398 to fallG1706 intoG1519 the handsG5495 of the livingG2198 GodG2316.
ButG1161 call to remembranceG363 the formerG4386 daysG2250, inG1722 whichG3739, after ye were illuminatedG5461, ye enduredG5278 a greatG4183 fightG119 of afflictionsG3804;
PartlyG5124+G3303, whilst ye were made a gazingstockG2301 bothG5037 by reproachesG3680 andG2532 afflictionsG2347; andG1161 partlyG5124, whilst ye becameG1096 companionsG2844 of them that wereG390 soG3779 usedG390.
ForG2532+G1063 ye had compassionG4834 of me in myG3450 bondsG1199, andG2532 tookG4327 joyfullyG3326+G5479 the spoilingG724 of yourG5216 goodsG5224, knowingG1097 inG1722 yourselvesG1438 that ye haveG2192 inG1722 heavenG3772 a betterG2909 andG2532 an enduringG3306 substanceG5223.
CastG577 notG3361 awayG577 thereforeG3767 yourG5216 confidenceG3954, whichG3748 hathG2192 greatG3173 recompence of rewardG3405.
ForG1063 ye haveG2192 needG5532 of patienceG5281, thatG2443, after ye have doneG4160 the willG2307 of GodG2316, ye might receiveG2865 the promiseG1860.
ForG1063 yetG2089 a littleG3397 whileG3745+G3745, and he that shall comeG2064 will comeG2240, andG2532 willG5549 notG3756 tarryG5549.
NowG1161 the justG1342 shall liveG2198 byG1537 faithG4102: butG2532 ifG1437 any man draw backG5288, myG3450 soulG5590 shall haveG2106 noG3756 pleasureG2106 inG1722 himG846.
ButG1161 weG2249 areG2070 notG3756 of them who draw backG5289 untoG1519 perditionG684; butG235 of them that believeG4102 toG1519 the savingG4047 of the soulG5590.
NowG1161 faithG4102 isG2076 the substanceG5287 of things hoped forG1679, the evidenceG1650 of thingsG4229 notG3756 seenG991. {substance: or, ground, or, confidence}
ForG1063 byG1722 itG5026 the eldersG4245 obtained a good reportG3140.
Through faithG4102 we understandG3539 that the worldsG165 were framedG2675 by the wordG4487 of GodG2316, soG1519 that things whichG3588 are seenG991 wereG1096 notG3361 madeG1096 ofG1537 things which do appearG5316.
By faithG4102 AbelG6 offeredG4374 unto GodG2316 a more excellentG4119 sacrificeG2378 thanG3844 CainG2535, byG1223 whichG3739 he obtained witnessG3140 that he wasG1511 righteousG1342, GodG2316 testifyingG3140 ofG1909 hisG846 giftsG1435: andG2532 byG1223 itG846 he being deadG599 yetG2089 speakethG2980. {yet…: or, is yet spoken of}
By faithG4102 EnochG1802 was translatedG3346 that he shouldG1492 notG3361 seeG1492 deathG2288; andG2532 wasG2147 notG3756 foundG2147, becauseG1360 GodG2316 had translatedG3346 himG846: forG1063 beforeG4253 hisG846 translationG3331 he had this testimonyG3140, that he pleasedG2100 GodG2316.
ButG1161 withoutG5565 faithG4102 it is impossibleG102 to pleaseG2100 him: forG1063 he that comethG4334 to GodG2316 mustG1163 believeG4100 thatG3754 he isG2076, andG2532 that he isG1096 a rewarderG3406 of them that diligently seekG1567 himG846.
By faithG4102 NoahG3575, being warned of GodG5537 ofG4012 things notG3369 seenG991 as yetG3369, moved with fearG2125, preparedG2680 an arkG2787 toG1519 the savingG4991 of hisG846 houseG3624; byG1223 the whichG3739 he condemnedG2632 the worldG2889, andG2532 becameG1096 heirG2818 of the righteousnessG1343 which is byG2596 faithG4102. {moved…: or, being wary}
By faithG4102 AbrahamG11, when he was calledG2564 to go outG1831 intoG1519 a placeG5117 whichG3739 he should afterG3195 receiveG2983 forG1519 an inheritanceG2817, obeyedG5219; andG2532 he went outG1831, notG3361 knowingG1987 whitherG4226 he wentG2064.
By faithG4102 he sojournedG3939 inG1519 the landG1093 of promiseG1860, asG5613 in a strange countryG245, dwellingG2730 inG1722 tabernaclesG4633 withG3326 IsaacG2464 andG2532 JacobG2384, the heirs with himG4789 of the sameG846 promiseG1860:
ForG1063 he looked forG1551 a cityG4172 which hathG2192 foundationsG2310, whoseG3739 builderG5079 andG2532 makerG1217 is GodG2316.
Through faithG4102 alsoG2532 SaraG4564 herselfG846 receivedG2983 strengthG1411 toG1519 conceiveG2602 seedG4690, andG2532 was delivered of a childG5088 when she was pastG3844 ageG2540+G2244, becauseG1893 she judgedG2233 him faithfulG4103 who had promisedG1861.
ThereforeG1352 sprang thereG1080 evenG2532 ofG575 oneG1520, andG2532 himG5023 as good as deadG3499, so many asG2531 the starsG798 of the skyG3772 in multitudeG4128, andG2532 asG5616 the sandG285 whichG3588 is byG3844 the seaG2281 shoreG5491 innumerableG382.
TheseG3778 allG3956 diedG599 inG2596 faithG4102, notG3361 having receivedG2983 the promisesG1860, butG235 having seenG1492 themG846 afar offG4207, andG2532 were persuaded ofG3982 them, andG2532 embracedG782 them, andG2532 confessedG3670 thatG3754 they wereG1526 strangersG3581 andG2532 pilgrimsG3927 onG1909 the earthG1093. {in faith: Gr. according to faith}
ForG1063 they that sayG3004 such thingsG5108 declare plainlyG1718 thatG3754 they seekG1934 a countryG3968.
AndG2532 trulyG3303, ifG1487 they had been mindfulG3421 of thatG1565 country fromG575 whenceG3739 they came outG1831, they mightG302 have hadG2192 opportunityG2540 to have returnedG344.
ButG1161 nowG3570 they desireG3713 a betterG2909 country, that isG5123, an heavenlyG2032: whereforeG1352 GodG2316 isG1870 notG3756 ashamedG1870+G846 to be calledG1941 theirG846 GodG2316: forG1063 he hath preparedG2090 for themG846 a cityG4172.
By faithG4102 AbrahamG11, when he was triedG3985, offered upG4374 IsaacG2464: andG2532 he that had receivedG324 the promisesG1860 offered upG4374 his only begottenG3439 son,
OfG4314 whomG3739 it was saidG2980, ThatG3754 inG1722 IsaacG2464 shallG2564 thyG4671 seedG4690 be calledG2564: {of: or, to}
AccountingG3049 thatG3754 GodG2316 was ableG1415 to raise him upG1453, evenG2532 fromG1537 the deadG3498; from whenceG3606 alsoG2532 he receivedG2865 himG846 inG1722 a figureG3850.
By faithG4102 IsaacG2464 blessedG2127 JacobG2384 andG2532 EsauG2269 concerningG4012 things to comeG3195.
By faithG4102 JacobG2384, when he was a dyingG599, blessedG2127 bothG1538 the sonsG5207 of JosephG2501; andG2532 worshippedG4352, leaning uponG1909 the topG206 of hisG846 staffG4464.
By faithG4102 JosephG2501, when he diedG5053, made mentionG3421 ofG4012 the departingG1841 of the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474; andG2532 gave commandmentG1781 concerningG4012 hisG846 bonesG3747. {made…: or, remembered}
By faithG4102 MosesG3475, when he was bornG1080, was hidG2928 three monthsG5150 ofG5259 hisG846 parentsG3962, becauseG1360 they sawG1492 he was a properG791 childG3813; andG2532 they wereG5399 notG3756 afraidG5399 of the king'sG935 commandmentG1297.
By faithG4102 MosesG3475, when he was comeG1096 to yearsG3173, refusedG720 to be calledG3004 the sonG5207 of Pharaoh'sG5328 daughterG2364;
ChoosingG138 ratherG3123 to suffer afflictionG4778 with the peopleG2992 of GodG2316, thanG2228 to enjoy the pleasuresG2192+G619 of sinG266 for a seasonG4340;
EsteemingG2233 the reproachG3680 of ChristG5547 greaterG3187 richesG4149 thanG2233 the treasuresG2344 inG1722 EgyptG125: forG1063 he had respectG578 untoG1519 the recompence of the rewardG3405. {of Christ: or, for Christ}
By faithG4102 he forsookG2641 EgyptG125, notG3361 fearingG5399 the wrathG2372 of the kingG935: forG1063 he enduredG2594, asG5613 seeingG3708 him who is invisibleG517.
Through faithG4102 he keptG4160 the passoverG3957, andG2532 the sprinklingG4378 of bloodG129, lestG3363 he that destroyedG3645 the firstbornG4416 should touchG2345 themG846.
By faithG4102 they passed throughG1224 the RedG2063 seaG2281 asG5613 byG1223 dryG3584 land: whichG3739 the EgyptiansG124 assayingG3984 to doG2983 were drownedG2666.
By faithG4102 the wallsG5038 of JerichoG2410 fell downG4098, after they were compassedG2944 aboutG1909 sevenG2033 daysG2250.
By faithG4102 the harlotG4204 RahabG4460 perishedG4881 notG3756 with them that believed notG544, when she had receivedG1209 the spiesG2685 withG3326 peaceG1515. {that…: or, that were disobedient}
AndG2532 whatG5101 shall IG3004 moreG2089 sayG3004? forG1063 the timeG5550 would failG1952 meG3165 to tellG1334 ofG4012 GedeonG1066, andG5037 of BarakG913, andG2532 of SamsonG4546, andG2532 of JephthaeG2422; of DavidG1138 alsoG2532, andG5037 SamuelG4545, andG2532 of the prophetsG4396:
WhoG3739 throughG1223 faithG4102 subduedG2610 kingdomsG932, wroughtG2038 righteousnessG1343, obtainedG2013 promisesG1860, stoppedG5420 the mouthsG4750 of lionsG3023,
QuenchedG4570 the violenceG1411 of fireG4442, escapedG5343 the edgeG4750 of the swordG3162, out ofG575 weaknessG769 were made strongG1743, waxedG1096 valiantG2478 inG1722 fightG4171, turned to flightG2827 the armiesG3925 of the aliensG245.
WomenG1135 receivedG2983 theirG846 deadG3498 raised to life againG1537+G386: andG1161 othersG243 were torturedG5178, notG3756 acceptingG4327 deliveranceG629; thatG2443 they might obtainG5177 a betterG2909 resurrectionG386:
AndG1161 othersG2087 hadG2983 trialG3984 of cruel mockingsG1701 andG2532 scourgingsG3148, yeaG1161, moreoverG2089 of bondsG1199 andG2532 imprisonmentG5438:
They were stonedG3034, they were sawn asunderG4249, were temptedG3985, were slainG599 withG1722 the swordG5408+G3162: they wandered aboutG4022 inG1722 sheepskinsG3374 andG1722 goatskinsG122+G1192; being destituteG5302, afflictedG2346, tormentedG2558;
(Of whomG3739 the worldG2889 wasG2258 notG3756 worthyG514:) they wanderedG4105 inG1722 desertsG2047, andG2532 in mountainsG3735, andG2532 in densG4693 andG2532 cavesG3692 of the earthG1093.
AndG2532 theseG3778 allG3956, having obtained a good reportG3140 throughG1223 faithG4102, receivedG2865 notG3756 the promiseG1860:
GodG2316 having providedG4265 someG5100 betterG2909 thingG5100 forG4012 usG2257, thatG3363 theyG5048 withoutG5565 usG2257 shouldG5048 notG3363 be made perfectG5048. {provided: or, foreseen}
WhereforeG5105 seeing we alsoG2532 areG2192 compassed aboutG4029+G2254 with so greatG5118 a cloudG3509 of witnessesG3144, letG659 usG2249 lay asideG659 everyG3956 weightG3591, andG2532 the sinG266 which doth so easily besetG2139 us, and let us runG5143 withG1223 patienceG5281 the raceG73 that is set beforeG4295 usG2254,
LookingG872 untoG1519 JesusG2424 the authorG747 andG2532 finisherG5051 of our faithG4102; whoG3739 forG473 the joyG5479 that was set beforeG4295 himG846 enduredG5278 the crossG4716, despisingG2706 the shameG152, andG5037 is set downG2523 atG1722 the right handG1188 of the throneG2362 of GodG2316. {author: or, beginner}
ForG1063 considerG357 him that enduredG5278 suchG5108 contradictionG485 ofG5259 sinnersG268 againstG1519 himselfG846, lestG3363 ye be weariedG2577 and faintG1590 in yourG5216 mindsG5590.
Ye haveG478 not yetG3768 resistedG478 untoG3360 bloodG129, strivingG464 againstG4314 sinG266.
AndG2532 ye have forgottenG1585 the exhortationG3874 whichG3748 speakethG1256 unto youG5213 asG5613 unto childrenG5207, MyG3450 sonG5207, despiseG3643 notG3361 thouG3643 the chasteningG3809 of the LordG2962, norG3366 faintG1590 when thou art rebukedG1651 ofG5259 himG846:
ForG1063 whomG3739 the LordG2962 lovethG25 he chastenethG3811, andG1161 scourgethG3146 everyG3956 sonG5207 whomG3739 he receivethG3858.
IfG1487 ye endureG5278 chasteningG3809, GodG2316 dealethG4374 with youG5213 asG5613 with sonsG5207; forG1063 whatG5101 sonG5207 is heG2076 whomG3739 the fatherG3962 chastenethG3811 notG3756?
ButG1161 ifG1487 ye beG2075 withoutG5565 chastisementG3809, whereofG3739 allG3956 areG1096 partakersG3353, thenG686 are yeG2075 bastardsG3541, andG2532 notG3756 sonsG5207.
FurthermoreG1534+G3303 we have hadG2192 fathersG3962 of ourG2257 fleshG4561 which correctedG3810 us, andG2532 we gave them reverenceG1788: shall weG5293 notG3756 muchG4183 ratherG3123 be in subjectionG5293 unto the FatherG3962 of spiritsG4151, andG2532 liveG2198?
ForG1063 they verilyG3303 forG4314 a fewG3641 daysG2250 chastenedG3811 us afterG2596 their ownG846 pleasureG1380; butG1161 he forG1909 our profitG4851, thatG1519 we might be partakersG3335 of hisG846 holinessG41. {after…: or, as seemed good, or, meet to them}
NowG1161 noG3956+G3756 chasteningG3809 forG4314+G3303 the presentG3918 seemethG1380 to beG1511 joyousG5479, butG235 grievousG3077: neverthelessG1161 afterwardG5305 it yieldethG591 the peaceableG1516 fruitG2590 of righteousnessG1343 unto them which are exercisedG1128 therebyG1223+G846.
WhereforeG1352 lift upG461 the handsG5495 which hang downG3935, andG2532 the feebleG3886 kneesG1119;
AndG2532 makeG4160 straightG3717 pathsG5163 for yourG5216 feetG4228, lest thatG3363 which is lameG5560 be turned out of the wayG1624; butG1161 let itG2390 ratherG3123 be healedG2390. {straight: or, even}
FollowG1377 peaceG1515 withG3326 allG3956 men, andG2532 holinessG38, withoutG5565 whichG3739 no manG3762 shall seeG3700 the LordG2962:
Looking diligentlyG1983 lestG3361 any manG5100 failG5302 ofG575 the graceG5485 of GodG2316; lestG3361 anyG5100 rootG4491 of bitternessG4088 springingG5453 upG507 troubleG1776 you, andG2532 therebyG1223+G5026 manyG4183 be defiledG3392; {fail…: or, fall from}
LestG3361 there be anyG5100 fornicatorG4205, orG2228 profane personG952, asG5613 EsauG2269, whoG3739 forG473 oneG3391 morsel of meatG1035 soldG591 hisG846 birthrightG4415.
ForG1063 ye knowG2467 howG3754 that afterwardG2532+G3347, when he wouldG2309 have inheritedG2816 the blessingG2129, he was rejectedG593: forG1063 he foundG2147 noG3756 placeG5117 of repentanceG3341, thoughG2539 he soughtG1567 itG846 carefullyG1567 withG3326 tearsG1144. {place…: or, way to change his mind}
ForG1063 ye areG4334 notG3756 comeG4334 unto the mountG3735 that might be touchedG5584, andG2532 that burnedG2545 with fireG4442, norG2532 unto blacknessG1105, andG2532 darknessG4655, andG2532 tempestG2366,
AndG2532 the soundG2279 of a trumpetG4536, andG2532 the voiceG5456 of wordsG4487; whichG3739 voice they that heardG191 intreatedG3868 that the wordG3056 shouldG4369 notG3361 be spokenG4369 to themG846 any moreG3361:
(ForG1063 they couldG5342 notG3756 endureG5342 that which was commandedG1291, And if so much asG2579 a beastG2342 touchG2345 the mountainG3735, it shall be stonedG3036, orG2228 thrust throughG2700 with a dartG1002:
AndG2532 soG3779 terribleG5398 wasG2258 the sightG5324, that MosesG3475 saidG2036, I exceedingly fearG1630+G1510 andG2532 quakeG1790:)
ButG235 ye are comeG4334 unto mountG3735 SionG4622, andG2532 unto the cityG4172 of the livingG2198 GodG2316, the heavenlyG2032 JerusalemG2419, andG2532 to an innumerable companyG3461 of angelsG32,
To the general assemblyG3831 andG2532 churchG1577 of the firstbornG4416, which are writtenG583 inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 to GodG2316 the JudgeG2923 of allG3956, andG2532 to the spiritsG4151 of just menG1342 made perfectG5048, {written: or, enrolled}
AndG2532 to JesusG2424 the mediatorG3316 of the newG3501 covenantG1242, andG2532 to the bloodG129 of sprinklingG4473, that speakethG2980 better thingsG2909 thanG3844 that of AbelG6. {covenant: or, testament}
SeeG991 that ye refuseG3868 notG3361 him that speakethG2980. ForG1063 ifG1487 theyG1565 escapedG5343 notG3756 who refused himG3868 that spakeG5537 onG1909 earthG1093, muchG4183 moreG3123 shall not weG2249 escape, if we turn away from himG654 that speaketh fromG575 heavenG3772:
WhoseG3739 voiceG5456 thenG5119 shookG4531 the earthG1093: butG1161 nowG3568 he hath promisedG1861, sayingG3004, YetG2089 once moreG530 IG1473 shakeG4579 notG3756 the earthG1093 onlyG3440, butG235 alsoG2532 heavenG3772.
AndG1161 this word, YetG2089 once moreG530, signifiethG1213 the removingG3331 of those things that are shakenG4531, asG5613 of things that are madeG4160, thatG2443 those things which cannotG3361 be shakenG4531 may remainG3306. {are shaken: or, may be shaken}
WhereforeG1352 we receivingG3880 a kingdomG932 which cannot be movedG761, let us haveG2192 graceG5485, wherebyG1223+G3739 we may serveG3000 GodG2316 acceptablyG2102 withG3326 reverenceG127 andG2532 godly fearG2124: {let…: or, let us hold fast}
ForG2532+G1063 ourG2257 GodG2316 is a consumingG2654 fireG4442.
LetG3306 brotherly loveG5360 continueG3306.
BeG1950 notG3361 forgetfulG1950 to entertain strangersG5381: forG1063 therebyG1223+G5026 someG5100 have entertainedG3579 angelsG32 unawaresG2990.
RememberG3403 them that are in bondsG1198, asG5613 bound with themG4887; and them which suffer adversityG2558, asG5613 beingG5607 yourselvesG846 alsoG2532 inG1722 the bodyG4983.
MarriageG1062 is honourableG5093 inG1722 allG3956, andG2532 the bedG2845 undefiledG283: butG1161 whoremongersG4205 andG2532 adulterersG3432 GodG2316 will judgeG2919.
Let your conversationG5158 be without covetousnessG866; and be contentG714 with such things as ye haveG3918: forG1063 heG846 hath saidG2046, I will neverG3364 leaveG447 theeG4571, norG3761+G3364 forsakeG1459 theeG4571.
So thatG5620 weG2248 may boldlyG2292 sayG3004, The LordG2962 is myG1698 helperG998, andG2532 I willG5399 notG3756 fearG5399 whatG5101 manG444 shall doG4160 unto meG3427.
RememberG3421 them which have the ruleG2233 over youG5216, whoG3748 have spokenG2980 unto youG5213 the wordG3056 of GodG2316: whoseG3739 faithG4102 followG3401, consideringG333 the endG1545 of their conversationG391. {have the rule: or, are the guides}
JesusG2424 ChristG5547 the sameG846 yesterdayG5504, andG2532 to dayG4594, andG2532 forG1519 everG165.
BeG4064 notG3361 carried aboutG4064 with diversG4164 andG2532 strangeG3581 doctrinesG1322. ForG1063 it is a good thingG2570 that the heartG2588 be establishedG950 with graceG5485; notG3756 with meatsG1033, which haveG5623 notG3756 profitedG5623 them that have been occupiedG4043 thereinG1722+G3739.
We haveG2192 an altarG2379, whereofG1537+G3739 they haveG2192 noG3756 rightG1849 to eatG5315 which serveG3000 the tabernacleG4633.
ForG1063 the bodiesG4983 of thoseG5130 beastsG2226, whoseG3739 bloodG129 is broughtG1533 intoG1519 the sanctuaryG39 byG1223 the high priestG749 forG4012 sinG266, are burnedG2618 withoutG1854 the campG3925.
WhereforeG1352 JesusG2424 alsoG2532, thatG2443 he might sanctifyG37 the peopleG2992 withG1223 his ownG2398 bloodG129, sufferedG3958 withoutG1854 the gateG4439.
Let us go forthG1831 thereforeG5106 untoG4314 himG846 withoutG1854 the campG3925, bearingG5342 hisG846 reproachG3680.
ForG1063 hereG5602 have weG2192 noG3756 continuingG3306 cityG4172, butG235 we seek oneG1934 to comeG3195.
ByG1223 himG846 thereforeG3767 let us offerG399 the sacrificeG2378 of praiseG133 to GodG2316 continuallyG1275, that isG5123, the fruitG2590 of our lipsG5491 giving thanksG3670 to hisG846 nameG3686. {giving…: Gr. confessing to}
ButG1161 to do goodG2140 andG2532 to communicateG2842 forgetG1950 notG3361: forG1063 with suchG5108 sacrificesG2378 GodG2316 is well pleasedG2100.
ObeyG3982 them that have the ruleG2233 over youG5216, andG2532 submit yourselvesG5226: forG1063 theyG846 watchG69 forG5228 yourG5216 soulsG5590, asG5613 they that must giveG591 accountG3056, thatG2443 they may doG4160 itG5124 withG3326 joyG5479, andG2532 notG3361 with griefG4727: forG1063 thatG5124 is unprofitableG255 for youG5213. {have…: or, guide}
PrayG4336 forG4012 usG2257: forG1063+G3754 we trustG3982 we haveG2192 a goodG2570 conscienceG4893, inG1722 all thingsG3956 willingG2309 to liveG390 honestlyG2573.
ButG1161 I beseechG3870 you the ratherG4056 to doG4160 thisG5124, thatG2443 I may be restoredG600 to youG5213 the soonerG5032.
NowG1161 the GodG2316 of peaceG1515, that brought againG321 fromG1537 the deadG3498 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424, that greatG3173 shepherdG4166 of the sheepG4263, throughG1722 the bloodG129 of the everlastingG166 covenantG1242, {covenant: or, testament}
MakeG2675 youG5209 perfectG2675 inG1722 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041 toG1519 doG4160 hisG846 willG2307, workingG4160 inG1722 youG5213 that which is wellpleasingG2101 in hisG846 sightG1799, throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547; to whomG3739 be gloryG1391 forG1519 everG165 and everG165. AmenG281. {working: or, doing}
AndG1161 I beseechG3870 youG5209, brethrenG80, sufferG430 the wordG3056 of exhortationG3874: forG1063+G2532 I have written a letterG1989 unto youG5213 inG1223 few wordsG1024.
Know yeG1097 that our brotherG80 TimothyG5095 is set at libertyG630; withG3326 whomG3739, ifG1437 he comeG2064 shortlyG5032, I will seeG3700 youG5209.
SaluteG782 allG3956 them that have the ruleG2233 over youG5216, andG2532 allG3956 the saintsG40. They ofG575 ItalyG2482 saluteG782 youG5209.
GraceG5485 be withG3326 youG5216 allG3956. AmenG281. {Written to the Hebrews from Italy, by Timothy.}
AndG2532 they shall fallG4098 by the edgeG4750 of the swordG3162, andG2532 shall be led away captiveG163 intoG1519 allG3956 nationsG1484: andG2532 JerusalemG2419 shall beG2071 trodden downG3961 ofG5259 the GentilesG1484, untilG891 the timesG2540 of the GentilesG1484 be fulfilledG4137.
Is there iniquityH205 in GileadH1568? surely they are vanityH7723: they sacrificeH2076 bullocksH7794 in GilgalH1537; yea, their altarsH4196 are as heapsH1530 in the furrowsH8525 of the fieldsH7704.
EphraimH669 provoked him to angerH3707 most bitterlyH8563: therefore shall he leaveH5203 his bloodH1818 upon him, and his reproachH2781 shall his LordH113 returnH7725 unto him. {most…: Heb. with bitternesses} {blood: Heb. bloods}
ThisG5026 secondG1208 epistleG1992, belovedG27, IG1125 nowG2235 writeG1125 unto youG5213; inG1722 both whichG3739 I stir upG1326 yourG5216 pureG1506 mindsG1271 by wayG1722 of remembranceG5280:
That ye may be mindfulG3415 of the wordsG4487 which were spoken beforeG4280 byG5259 the holyG40 prophetsG4396, andG2532 of the commandmentG1785 of usG2257 the apostlesG652 of the LordG2962 andG2532 SaviourG4990:
KnowingG1097 thisG5124 firstG4412, thatG3754 there shall comeG2064 inG1909 the lastG2078 daysG2250 scoffersG1703, walkingG4198 afterG2596 theirG846 ownG2398 lustsG1939,
AndG2532 sayingG3004, WhereG4226 isG2076 the promiseG1860 of hisG846 comingG3952? forG1063 sinceG575+G3739 the fathersG3962 fell asleepG2837, all thingsG3956 continueG3779+G1265 as they were fromG575 the beginningG746 of the creationG2937.
ForG1063 thisG5124 theyG846 willinglyG2309 are ignorant ofG2990, thatG3754 by the wordG3056 of GodG2316 the heavensG3772 wereG2258 of oldG1597, andG2532 the earthG1093 standingG4921 out ofG1537 the waterG5204 andG2532 inG1223 the waterG5204: {standing: Gr. consisting}
WherebyG1223+G3739 the worldG2889 that then wasG5119, being overflowedG2626 with waterG5204, perishedG622:
ButG1161 the heavensG3772 andG2532 the earthG1093, which are nowG3568, by the sameG846 wordG3056 areG1526 kept in storeG2343, reservedG5083 unto fireG4442 againstG1519 the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920 andG2532 perditionG684 of ungodlyG765 menG444.
ButG1161, belovedG27, beG2990 notG3361+G5209 ignorantG2990 of this oneG1520 thingG5124, thatG3754 oneG3391 dayG2250 is withG3844 the LordG2962 asG5613 a thousandG5507 yearsG2094, andG2532 a thousandG5507 yearsG2094 asG5613 oneG3391 dayG2250.
The LordG2962 isG1019 notG3756 slackG1019 concerning his promiseG1860, asG5613 some menG5100 countG2233 slacknessG1022; butG235 is longsufferingG3114 toG1519 us-wardG2248, notG3361 willingG1014 that anyG5100 should perishG622, butG235 that allG3956 should comeG5562 toG1519 repentanceG3341.
ButG1161 the dayG2250 of the LordG2962 will comeG2240 asG5613 a thiefG2812 inG1722 the nightG3571; inG1722 the whichG3739 the heavensG3772 shall pass awayG3928 with a great noiseG4500, andG1161 the elementsG4747 shall meltG3089 with fervent heatG2741, the earthG1093 alsoG2532 andG2532 the worksG2041 that are thereinG1722+G846 shall be burned upG2618.
Seeing thenG3767 that allG3956 these thingsG5130 shall be dissolvedG3089, what mannerG4217 of persons oughtG1163 yeG5209 to beG5225 inG1722 all holyG40 conversationG391 andG2532 godlinessG2150,
Looking forG4328 andG2532 hastingG4692 unto the comingG3952 of the dayG2250 of GodG2316, whereinG1223+G3739 the heavensG3772 being on fireG4448 shall be dissolvedG3089, andG2532 the elementsG4747 shall meltG5080 with fervent heatG2741? {hasting…: or, hasting the coming}
NeverthelessG1161 weG4328, according toG2596 hisG846 promiseG1862, look forG4328 newG2537 heavensG3772 andG2532 a newG2537 earthG1093, whereinG1722+G3739 dwellethG2730 righteousnessG1343.
WhereforeG1352, belovedG27, seeing that ye look forG4328 such thingsG5023, be diligentG4704 that ye may be foundG2147 of himG846 inG1722 peaceG1515, without spotG784, andG2532 blamelessG298.
AndG2532 accountG2233 that the longsufferingG3115 of ourG2257 LordG2962 is salvationG4991; even asG2531 ourG2257 belovedG27 brotherG80 PaulG3972 alsoG2532 according toG2596 the wisdomG4678 givenG1325 unto himG846 hath writtenG1125 unto youG5213;
AsG5613 alsoG2532 inG1722 allG3956 his epistlesG1992, speakingG2980 inG1722 themG846 ofG4012 these thingsG5130; inG1722 whichG3739 areG2076 some thingsG5100 hard to be understoodG1425, whichG3739 they that are unlearnedG261 andG2532 unstableG793 wrestG4761, asG5613 they do alsoG2532 the otherG3062 scripturesG1124, untoG4314 theirG846 ownG2398 destructionG684.
YeG5210 thereforeG3767, belovedG27, seeing ye know these things beforeG4267, bewareG5442 lestG3363 ye alsoG1601, being led awayG4879 with the errorG4106 of the wickedG113, fall fromG1601 your ownG2398 stedfastnessG4740.
ButG1161 growG837 inG1722 graceG5485, andG2532 in the knowledgeG1108 of ourG2257 LordG2962 andG2532 SaviourG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. To himG846 be gloryG1391 bothG2532 nowG3568 andG2532 forG1519 everG165+G2250. AmenG281.
NowG1161 the SpiritG4151 speakethG3004 expresslyG4490, thatG3754 inG1722 the latterG5306 timesG2540 someG5100 shall depart fromG868 the faithG4102, giving heedG4337 to seducingG4108 spiritsG4151, andG2532 doctrinesG1319 of devilsG1140;
Speaking liesG5573 inG1722 hypocrisyG5272; havingG2743 theirG2398 conscienceG4893 seared with a hot ironG2743;
ForbiddingG2967 to marryG1060, and commanding to abstain fromG567 meatsG1033, whichG3739 GodG2316 hath createdG2936 toG1519 be receivedG3336 withG3326 thanksgivingG2169 of them which believeG4103 andG2532 knowG1921 the truthG225.
ForG3754 everyG3956 creatureG2938 of GodG2316 is goodG2570, andG2532 nothingG3762 to be refusedG579, if it be receivedG2983 withG3326 thanksgivingG2169:
ForG1063 it is sanctifiedG37 byG1223 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 andG2532 prayerG1783.
If thou putG5294 the brethrenG80 in remembranceG5294 of these thingsG5023, thou shalt beG2071 a goodG2570 ministerG1249 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, nourished upG1789 in the wordsG3056 of faithG4102 andG2532 of goodG2570 doctrineG1319, whereuntoG3739 thou hast attainedG3877.
ButG1161 refuseG3868 profaneG952 andG2532 old wives'G1126 fablesG3454, andG1161 exerciseG1128 thyselfG4572 rather untoG4314 godlinessG2150.
ForG1063 bodilyG4984 exerciseG1129 profitethG2076+G5624 littleG4314+G3641: butG1161 godlinessG2150 isG2076 profitableG5624 untoG4314 all thingsG3956, havingG2192 promiseG1860 of the lifeG2222 that now isG3568, andG2532 of that which is to comeG3195. {little: or, for a little time}
This is a faithfulG4103 sayingG3056 andG2532 worthyG514 of allG3956 acceptationG594.
ForG1063 thereforeG1519+G5124 weG2872 bothG2532 labourG2872 andG2532 suffer reproachG3679, becauseG3754 we trustG1679 inG1909 the livingG2198 GodG2316, whoG3739 isG2076 the SaviourG4990 of allG3956 menG444, speciallyG3122 of those that believeG4103.
These thingsG5023 commandG3853 andG2532 teachG1321.
LetG2706 no manG3367 despiseG2706 thyG4675 youthG3503; butG235 be thouG1096 an exampleG5179 of the believersG4103, inG1722 wordG3056, inG1722 conversationG391, inG1722 charityG26, inG1722 spiritG4151, inG1722 faithG4102, inG1722 purityG47.
TillG2193 I comeG2064, give attendanceG4337 to readingG320, to exhortationG3874, to doctrineG1319.
NeglectG272 notG3361 the giftG5486 that is inG1722 theeG4671, whichG3739 was givenG1325 theeG4671 byG1223 prophecyG4394, withG3326 the laying onG1936 of the handsG5495 of the presbyteryG4244.
Meditate uponG3191 these thingsG5023; give thyselfG2468 wholly toG1722 themG5125; thatG2443 thyG4675 profitingG4297 mayG5600 appearG5318 toG1722 allG3956. {to all: or, in all things}
Take heedG1907 unto thyselfG4572, andG2532 unto the doctrineG1319; continueG1961 in themG846: forG1063 in doingG4160 thisG5124 thou shaltG4982 bothG2532 saveG4982 thyselfG4572, andG2532 them that hearG191 theeG4675.
ThisG5124 knowG1097 alsoG1161, thatG3754 inG1722 the lastG2078 daysG2250 perilousG5467 timesG2540 shall comeG1764.
ForG1063 menG444 shall beG2071 lovers of their own selvesG5367, covetousG5366, boastersG213, proudG5244, blasphemersG989, disobedientG545 to parentsG1118, unthankfulG884, unholyG462,
Without natural affectionG794, trucebreakersG786, false accusersG1228, incontinentG193, fierceG434, despisers of those that are goodG865, {false…: or, one who foments strife}
TraitorsG4273, headyG4312, highmindedG5187, lovers of pleasuresG5369 moreG3123 thanG2228 lovers of GodG5377;
HavingG2192 a formG3446 of godlinessG2150, butG1161 denyingG720 the powerG1411 thereofG846: fromG2532 suchG5128 turn awayG665.
ForG1063 ofG1537 this sortG5130 are theyG1526 which creepG1744 intoG1519 housesG3614, andG2532 lead captiveG162 silly womenG1133 ladenG4987 with sinsG266, led awayG71 with diversG4164 lustsG1939,
EverG3842 learningG3129, andG2532 neverG3368 ableG1410 to comeG2064 toG1519 the knowledgeG1922 of the truthG225.
NowG1161 asG5158 JannesG2389 andG2532 JambresG2387 withstoodG436 MosesG3475, soG3779 doG436 theseG3778 alsoG2532 resistG436 the truthG225: menG444 of corruptG2704 mindsG3563, reprobateG96 concerningG4012 the faithG4102. {reprobate: or, of no judgment} {reprobate: or, of no judgment}
ButG235 they shall proceedG4298 noG3756 furtherG1909+G4119: forG1063 theirG846 follyG454 shall beG2071 manifestG1552 unto allG3956 men, asG5613 theirsG1565 alsoG2532 wasG1096.
ButG1161 thouG4771 hast fully knownG3877 myG3450 doctrineG1319, manner of lifeG72, purposeG4286, faithG4102, longsufferingG3115, charityG26, patienceG5281, {fully…: or, been a diligent follower of}
PersecutionsG1375, afflictionsG3804, whichG3634 cameG1096 unto meG3427 atG1722 AntiochG490, atG1722 IconiumG2430, atG1722 LystraG3082; whatG3634 persecutionsG1375 I enduredG5297: butG2532 out ofG1537 them allG3956 the LordG2962 deliveredG4506 meG3165.
YeaG1161, andG2532 allG3956 that willG2309 liveG2198 godlyG2153 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 shall suffer persecutionG1377.
ButG1161 evilG4190 menG444 andG2532 seducersG1114 shall waxG4298 worse and worseG1909+G5501, deceivingG4105, andG2532 being deceivedG4105.
ButG1161 continueG3306 thouG4771 inG1722 the things whichG3739 thou hast learnedG3129 andG2532 hast been assured ofG4104, knowingG1492 ofG3844 whomG5101 thou hast learnedG3129 them;
AndG2532 thatG3754 fromG575 a childG1025 thou hast knownG1492 the holyG2413 scripturesG1121, whichG3588 are ableG1410 to makeG4679 theeG4571 wiseG4679 untoG1519 salvationG4991 throughG1223 faithG4102 whichG3588 is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
AllG3956 scriptureG1124 is given by inspiration of GodG2315, andG2532 is profitableG5624 forG4314 doctrineG1319, forG4314 reproofG1650, forG4314 correctionG1882, forG4314 instructionG3809 inG1722 righteousnessG1343:
ThatG2443 the manG444 of GodG2316 may beG5600 perfectG739, throughly furnishedG1822 untoG4314 allG3956 goodG18 worksG2041. {throughly…: or, perfected}
ThoughG2539 he wereG5607 a SonG5207, yet learned heG3129 obedienceG5218 byG575 the things whichG3739 he sufferedG3958;
WhereforeG3606, holyG40 brethrenG80, partakersG3353 of the heavenlyG2032 callingG2821, considerG2657 the ApostleG652 andG2532 High PriestG749 of ourG2257 professionG3671, ChristG5547 JesusG2424;
And IG2504 sawG3708, andG2532 bare recordG3140 thatG3754 thisG3778 isG2076 the SonG5207 of GodG2316.
SeeG991 that ye refuseG3868 notG3361 him that speakethG2980. ForG1063 ifG1487 theyG1565 escapedG5343 notG3756 who refused himG3868 that spakeG5537 onG1909 earthG1093, muchG4183 moreG3123 shall not weG2249 escape, if we turn away from himG654 that speaketh fromG575 heavenG3772:
ForG1063 the priesthoodG2420 being changedG3346, there is madeG1096 ofG1537 necessityG318 a changeG3331 alsoG2532 of the lawG3551.
InG1722 the beginningG746 wasG2258 the WordG3056, andG2532 the WordG3056 wasG2258 withG4314 GodG2316, andG2532 the WordG3056 wasG2258 GodG2316.
The sameG3778 wasG2258 inG1722 the beginningG746 withG4314 GodG2316.
All thingsG3956 were madeG1096 byG1223 himG846; andG2532 withoutG5565 himG846 wasG1096 notG3761 any thingG1520 madeG1096 thatG3739 was madeG1096.
NowG1161 ofG1909 the things which we have spokenG3004 this is the sumG2774: We haveG2192 suchG5108 an high priestG749, whoG3739 is setG2523 onG1722 the right handG1188 of the throneG2362 of the MajestyG3172 inG1722 the heavensG3772;
A ministerG3011 of the sanctuaryG39, andG2532 of the trueG228 tabernacleG4633, whichG3739 the LordG2962 pitchedG4078, andG2532 notG3756 manG444. {of the sanctuary: or, of holy things}
ForG1063 everyG3956 high priestG749 is ordainedG2525 toG1519 offerG4374 giftsG1435 andG5037+G2532 sacrificesG2378: whereforeG3606 it is of necessityG316 that this manG5126 haveG2192 somewhatG5100 alsoG2532 toG3739 offerG4374.
ForG1063 ifG1487+G3303 he wereG2258 onG1909 earthG1093, he shouldG302 notG3761 beG2258 a priestG2409, seeing that there areG5607 priestsG2409 that offerG4374 giftsG1435 accordingG2596 to the lawG3551: {there…: or, they are priests}
WhoG3748 serveG3000 unto the exampleG5262 andG2532 shadowG4639 of heavenly thingsG2032, asG2531 MosesG3475 was admonished of GodG5537 when he was aboutG3195 to makeG2005 the tabernacleG4633: forG1063, SeeG3708, saith heG5346, that thou makeG4160 all thingsG3956 according toG2596 the patternG5179 shewedG1166 to theeG4671 inG1722 the mountG3735.
ButG1161 nowG3570 hath he obtainedG5177 a more excellentG1313 ministryG3009, by how muchG3745 alsoG2532 he isG2076 the mediatorG3316 of a betterG2909 covenantG1242, whichG3748 was establishedG3549 uponG1909 betterG2909 promisesG1860. {covenant: or, testament}
ForG1063 ifG1487 thatG1565 firstG4413 covenant had beenG2258 faultlessG273, then shouldG302 noG3756 placeG5117 have been soughtG2212 for the secondG1208.
ForG1063 finding faultG3201 with themG846, he saithG3004, BeholdG2400, the daysG2250 comeG2064, saithG3004 the LordG2962, whenG2532 I will makeG4931 a newG2537 covenantG1242 withG1909 the houseG3624 of IsraelG2474 andG2532 withG1909 the houseG3624 of JudahG2455:
NotG3756 according toG2596 the covenantG1242 thatG3739 I made withG4160 theirG846 fathersG3962 inG1722 the dayG2250 when I tookG1949 themG846 by the handG3450+G5495 to leadG1806 themG846 out ofG1537 the landG1093 of EgyptG125; becauseG3754 theyG846 continuedG1696 notG3756 inG1722 myG3450 covenantG1242, and IG2504 regardedG272 themG846 notG272, saithG3004 the LordG2962.
ForG3754 thisG3778 is the covenantG1242 thatG3739 I will makeG1303 with the houseG3624 of IsraelG2474 afterG3326 thoseG1565 daysG2250, saithG3004 the LordG2962; I will putG1325 myG3450 lawsG3551 intoG1519 theirG846 mindG1271, andG2532 writeG1924 themG846 inG1909 theirG846 heartsG2588: andG2532 I will beG2071 toG1519 themG846 a GodG2316, andG2532 theyG846 shall beG2071 toG1519 meG3427 a peopleG2992: {put: Gr. give} {in: or, upon}
AndG2532 they shallG1321 notG3364 teachG1321 every manG1538 hisG846 neighbourG4139, andG2532 every manG1538 hisG846 brotherG80, sayingG3004, KnowG1097 the LordG2962: forG3754 allG3956 shall knowG1492 meG3165, fromG575 the leastG3398+G846 toG2193 the greatestG3173+G846.
ForG3754 I will beG2071 mercifulG2436 to theirG846 unrighteousnessG93, andG2532 theirG846 sinsG266 andG2532 theirG846 iniquitiesG458 will I rememberG3415 noG3364 moreG2089.
InG1722 that he saithG3004, A newG2537 covenant, he hath madeG3822 the firstG4413 oldG3822. NowG1161 that which decayethG3822 andG2532 waxeth oldG1095 is readyG1451 to vanish awayG854.
ThenG3767 verilyG3303 the firstG4413 covenant hadG2192 alsoG2532 ordinancesG1345 of divine serviceG2999, andG5037 a worldlyG2886 sanctuaryG39. {ordinances: or, ceremonies}
ForG1063 there wasG2680 a tabernacleG4633 madeG2680; the firstG4413, whereinG1722+G3739+G5037 was the candlestickG3087, andG2532 the tableG5132, andG2532 the shewbreadG4286+G740; whichG3748 is calledG3004 the sanctuaryG39. {the sanctuary: or, holy}
AndG1161 afterG3326 the secondG1208 veilG2665, the tabernacleG4633 whichG3588 is calledG3004 the Holiest of allG39+G39;
Which hadG2192 the goldenG5552 censerG2369, andG2532 the arkG2787 of the covenantG1242 overlaidG4028 round aboutG3840 with goldG5553, whereinG1722+G3739 was the goldenG5552 potG4713 that hadG2192 mannaG3131, andG2532 Aaron'sG2 rodG4464 that buddedG985, andG2532 the tablesG4109 of the covenantG1242;
AndG1161 overG5231 itG846 the cherubimsG5502 of gloryG1391 shadowingG2683 the mercyseatG2435; ofG4012 whichG3739 we cannotG3756+G2076 nowG3568 speakG3004 particularlyG2596+G3313.
NowG1161 when these thingsG5130 wereG2680 thusG3779 ordainedG2680, the priestsG2409 wentG1524 alwaysG1275 intoG1519+G3303 the firstG4413 tabernacleG4633, accomplishingG2005 the serviceG2999 of God.
ButG1161 intoG1519 the secondG1208 went the high priestG749 aloneG3441 onceG530 every yearG1763, notG3756 withoutG5565 bloodG129, whichG3739 he offeredG4374 forG5228 himselfG1438, andG2532 for the errorsG51 of the peopleG2992:
The HolyG40 GhostG4151 thisG5124 signifyingG1213, that the wayG3598 into the holiest of allG39 wasG5319 not yetG3380 made manifestG5319, while as the firstG4413 tabernacleG4633 wasG2192 yetG2089 standingG4714:
WhichG3748 was a figureG3850 forG1519 the timeG2540 then presentG1764, inG2596 whichG3739 were offeredG4374 bothG5037 giftsG1435 andG2532 sacrificesG2378, that couldG1410 notG3361 makeG5048 him that did the serviceG3000 perfectG5048, as pertaining toG2596 the conscienceG4893;
Which stood onlyG3440 inG1909 meatsG1033 andG2532 drinksG4188, andG2532 diversG1313 washingsG909, andG2532 carnalG4561 ordinancesG1345, imposedG1945 on them untilG3360 the timeG2540 of reformationG1357. {ordinances: or, rites, or, ceremonies}
ButG1161 ChristG5547 being comeG3854 an high priestG749 of good thingsG18 to comeG3195, byG1223 a greaterG3187 andG2532 more perfectG5046 tabernacleG4633, notG3756 made with handsG5499, that is to sayG5123, notG3756 of thisG5026 buildingG2937;
NeitherG3761 byG1223 the bloodG129 of goatsG5131 andG2532 calvesG3448, butG1161 byG1223 his ownG2398 bloodG129 he entered inG1525 onceG2178 intoG1519 the holy placeG39, having obtainedG2147 eternalG166 redemptionG3085 for us.
ForG1063 ifG1487 the bloodG129 of bullsG5022 andG2532 of goatsG5131, andG2532 the ashesG4700 of an heiferG1151 sprinklingG4472 the uncleanG2840, sanctifiethG37 toG4314 the purifyingG2514 of the fleshG4561:
How muchG4214 moreG3123 shallG2511 the bloodG129 of ChristG5547, whoG3739 throughG1223 the eternalG166 SpiritG4151 offeredG4374 himselfG1438 without spotG299 to GodG2316, purgeG2511 yourG5216 conscienceG4893 fromG575 deadG3498 worksG2041 toG1519 serveG3000 the livingG2198 GodG2316? {spot: or, fault}
AndG2532 for thisG5124 causeG1223 he isG2076 the mediatorG3316 of the newG2537 testamentG1242, thatG3704 by meansG1096 of deathG2288, forG1519 the redemptionG629 of the transgressionsG3847 that were underG1909 the firstG4413 testamentG1242, they which are calledG2564 might receiveG2983 the promiseG1860 of eternalG166 inheritanceG2817.
ForG1063 whereG3699 a testamentG1242 is, there must also of necessityG318 beG5342 the deathG2288 of the testatorG1303. {be: or, be brought in}
ForG1063 a testamentG1242 is of forceG949 afterG1909 men are deadG3498: otherwiseG1893 it is ofG2480 noG3379 strengthG2480 at allG3379 whileG3753 the testatorG1303 livethG2198.
WhereuponG3606 neitherG3761 the firstG4413 testament was dedicatedG1457 withoutG5565 bloodG129. {dedicated: or, purified}
ForG1063 whenG5259 MosesG3475 had spokenG2980 everyG3956 preceptG1785 to allG3956 the peopleG2992 accordingG2596 to the lawG3551, he tookG2983 the bloodG129 of calvesG3448 andG2532 of goatsG5131, withG3326 waterG5204, andG2532 scarletG2847 woolG2053, andG2532 hyssopG5301, and sprinkledG4472 bothG5037 the bookG975+G846, andG2532 allG3956 the peopleG2992, {scarlet: or, purple}
SayingG3004, ThisG5124 is the bloodG129 of the testamentG1242 whichG3739 GodG2316 hath enjoinedG1781 untoG4314 youG5209.
MoreoverG1161+G3668 he sprinkledG4472 with bloodG129 bothG2532 the tabernacleG4633, andG2532 allG3956 the vesselsG4632 of the ministryG3009.
AndG2532 almostG4975 all thingsG3956 areG2511 byG2596 the lawG3551 purgedG2511 withG1722 bloodG129; andG2532 withoutG5565 shedding of bloodG130 isG1096 noG3756 remissionG859.
It was thereforeG3767 necessaryG318 that the patternsG5262 of thingsG3303 inG1722 the heavensG3772 should be purifiedG2511 with theseG5125; butG1161 the heavenly thingsG2032 themselvesG846 with betterG2909 sacrificesG2378 thanG3844 theseG5025.
ForG1063 ChristG5547 isG1525 notG3756 enteredG1525 intoG1519 the holy placesG39 made with handsG5499, which are the figuresG499 of the trueG228; butG235 intoG1519 heavenG3772 itselfG846, nowG3568 to appearG1718 in the presenceG4383 of GodG2316 forG5228 usG2257:
NorG3761 yet thatG2443 he should offerG4374 himselfG1438 oftenG4178, asG5618 the high priestG749 enterethG1525 intoG1519 the holy placeG39 everyG2596 yearG1763 withG1722 bloodG129 of othersG245;
For thenG1893 mustG1163 heG846 oftenG4178 have sufferedG3958 sinceG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889: butG1161 nowG3568 onceG530 inG1909 the endG4930 of the worldG165 hath he appearedG5319 toG1519 put awayG115 sinG266 byG1223 the sacrificeG2378 of himselfG846.
AndG2532 asG2596+G3745 it is appointedG606 unto menG444 onceG530 to dieG599, butG1161 afterG3326 thisG5124 the judgmentG2920:
SoG3779 ChristG5547 was onceG530 offeredG4374 toG1519 bearG399 the sinsG266 of manyG4183; and unto them that lookG553 for himG846 shall he appearG3700+G1537 the second timeG1208 withoutG5565 sinG266 untoG1519 salvationG4991.
ForG1063 the lawG3551 havingG2192 a shadowG4639 of good thingsG18 to comeG3195, and notG3756 the veryG846 imageG1504 of the thingsG4229, canG1410 neverG3763 with thoseG846 sacrificesG2378 whichG3739 they offeredG4374 year by yearG2596+G1763 continuallyG1519+G1336 makeG5048 the comers thereuntoG4334 perfectG5048.
For thenG1893 would theyG302 notG3756 have ceasedG3973 to be offeredG4374? becauseG1223 that the worshippersG3000 onceG530 purgedG2508 should have hadG2192 noG3367 moreG2089 conscienceG4893 of sinsG266. {would…: or, they would have ceased to be offered, because, etc.}
ButG235 inG1722 thoseG846 sacrifices there is a remembrance againG364 made of sinsG266 everyG2596 yearG1763.
ForG1063 it is not possibleG102 that the bloodG129 of bullsG5022 andG2532 of goatsG5131 should take awayG851 sinsG266.
WhereforeG1352 when he comethG1525 intoG1519 the worldG2889, he saithG3004, SacrificeG2378 andG2532 offeringG4376 thou wouldestG2309 notG3756, butG1161 a bodyG4983 hast thou preparedG2675 meG3427: {hast…: or, thou hast fitted me}
In burnt offeringsG3646 andG2532 sacrifices forG4012 sinG266 thou hast hadG2106 noG3756 pleasureG2106.
ThenG5119 said IG2036, LoG2400, I comeG2240 (inG1722 the volumeG2777 of the bookG975 it is writtenG1125 ofG4012 meG1700,) to doG4160 thyG4675 willG2307, O GodG2316.
AboveG511 when he saidG3004+G3754, SacrificeG2378 andG2532 offeringG4376 andG2532 burnt offeringsG3646 andG2532 offering forG4012 sinG266 thou wouldestG2309 notG3756, neitherG3761 hadst pleasureG2106 therein; whichG3748 are offeredG4374 byG2596 the lawG3551;
ThenG5119 said heG2046, LoG2400, I comeG2240 to doG4160 thyG4675 willG2307, O GodG2316. He taketh awayG337 the firstG4413, thatG2443 he may establishG2476 the secondG1208.
ByG1722 the whichG3739 willG2307 we areG2070 sanctifiedG37 throughG1223 the offeringG4376 of the bodyG4983 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 onceG2178 for all.
AndG2532+G3303 everyG3956 priestG2409 standethG2476 dailyG2596+G2250 ministeringG3008 andG2532 offeringG4374 oftentimesG4178 the sameG846 sacrificesG2378, whichG3748 canG1410 neverG3763 take awayG4014 sinsG266:
ButG1161 this manG846, after he had offeredG4374 oneG3391 sacrificeG2378 forG5228 sinsG266 forG1519 everG1336, sat downG2523 onG1722 the right handG1188 of GodG2316;
From henceforthG3063 expectingG1551 tillG2193 hisG846 enemiesG2190 be madeG5087 hisG846 footstoolG5286+G4228.
ForG1063 by oneG3391 offeringG4376 he hath perfectedG5048 forG1519 everG1336 them that are sanctifiedG37.
WhereofG1161 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 alsoG2532 is a witnessG3140 to usG2254: forG1063 afterG3326 that he had said beforeG4280,
ThisG3778 is the covenantG1242 thatG3739 I will makeG1303 withG4314 themG846 afterG3326 thoseG1565 daysG2250, saithG3004 the LordG2962, I will putG1325 myG3450 lawsG3551 intoG1909 theirG846 heartsG2588, andG2532 inG1909 theirG846 mindsG1271 will I writeG1924 themG846;
AndG2532 theirG846 sinsG266 andG2532 iniquitiesG458+G846 will I rememberG3415 noG3364 moreG2089. {And their: some copies have, Then he said, And their}
NowG1161 whereG3699 remissionG859 of theseG5130 is, there is no moreG3765 offeringG4376 forG4012 sinG266.
HavingG2192 thereforeG3767, brethrenG80, boldnessG3954 toG1519 enterG1529 into the holiestG39 byG1722 the bloodG129 of JesusG2424, {boldness: or, liberty}
By a newG4372 andG2532 livingG2198 wayG3598, whichG3739 he hath consecratedG1457 for usG2254, throughG1223 the veilG2665, that is to sayG5123, hisG846 fleshG4561; {consecrated: or, new made}
AndG2532 having an highG3173 priestG2409 overG1909 the houseG3624 of GodG2316;
Let us draw nearG4334 withG3326 a trueG228 heartG2588 inG1722 full assuranceG4136 of faithG4102, havingG4472 our heartsG2588 sprinkledG4472 fromG575 an evilG4190 conscienceG4893, andG2532 our bodiesG4983 washedG3068 with pureG2513 waterG5204.
Let us hold fastG2722 the professionG3671 of our faithG1680 without waveringG186; (forG1063 he is faithfulG4103 that promisedG1861;)
AndG2532 let us considerG2657 one anotherG240 toG1519 provokeG3948 unto loveG26 andG2532 to goodG2570 worksG2041:
NotG3361 forsakingG1459 the assemblingG1997 of ourselvesG1438 togetherG1997, asG2531 the mannerG1485 of someG5100 is; butG235 exhortingG3870 one another: andG2532 so muchG5118 the moreG3123, asG3745 ye seeG991 the dayG2250 approachingG1448.
ForG1063 if weG2257 sinG264 wilfullyG1596 afterG3326 that we have receivedG2983 the knowledgeG1922 of the truthG225, there remainethG620 no moreG3765 sacrificeG2378 forG4012 sinsG266,
ButG1161 a certainG5100 fearfulG5398 looking forG1561 of judgmentG2920 andG2532 fieryG4442 indignationG2205, which shallG3195 devourG2068 the adversariesG5227.
HeG5100 that despisedG114 Moses'G3475 lawG3551 diedG599 withoutG5565 mercyG3628 underG1909 twoG1417 orG2228 threeG5140 witnessesG3144:
Of how muchG4214 sorerG5501 punishmentG5098, suppose yeG1380, shall he be thought worthyG515, whoG3588 hath trodden under footG2662 the SonG5207 of GodG2316, andG2532 hath countedG2233 the bloodG129 of the covenantG1242, wherewithG3739+G1722 he was sanctifiedG37, an unholy thingG2839, andG2532 hath done despiteG1796 unto the SpiritG4151 of graceG5485?
ForG1063 we knowG1492 him that hath saidG2036, VengeanceG1557 belongeth unto meG1698, IG1473 will recompenseG467, saithG3004 the LordG2962. AndG2532 againG3825, The LordG2962 shall judgeG2919 hisG846 peopleG2992.
It is a fearful thingG5398 to fallG1706 intoG1519 the handsG5495 of the livingG2198 GodG2316.
ButG1161 call to remembranceG363 the formerG4386 daysG2250, inG1722 whichG3739, after ye were illuminatedG5461, ye enduredG5278 a greatG4183 fightG119 of afflictionsG3804;
PartlyG5124+G3303, whilst ye were made a gazingstockG2301 bothG5037 by reproachesG3680 andG2532 afflictionsG2347; andG1161 partlyG5124, whilst ye becameG1096 companionsG2844 of them that wereG390 soG3779 usedG390.
ForG2532+G1063 ye had compassionG4834 of me in myG3450 bondsG1199, andG2532 tookG4327 joyfullyG3326+G5479 the spoilingG724 of yourG5216 goodsG5224, knowingG1097 inG1722 yourselvesG1438 that ye haveG2192 inG1722 heavenG3772 a betterG2909 andG2532 an enduringG3306 substanceG5223.
CastG577 notG3361 awayG577 thereforeG3767 yourG5216 confidenceG3954, whichG3748 hathG2192 greatG3173 recompence of rewardG3405.
ForG1063 ye haveG2192 needG5532 of patienceG5281, thatG2443, after ye have doneG4160 the willG2307 of GodG2316, ye might receiveG2865 the promiseG1860.
ForG1063 yetG2089 a littleG3397 whileG3745+G3745, and he that shall comeG2064 will comeG2240, andG2532 willG5549 notG3756 tarryG5549.
NowG1161 the justG1342 shall liveG2198 byG1537 faithG4102: butG2532 ifG1437 any man draw backG5288, myG3450 soulG5590 shall haveG2106 noG3756 pleasureG2106 inG1722 himG846.
ButG1161 weG2249 areG2070 notG3756 of them who draw backG5289 untoG1519 perditionG684; butG235 of them that believeG4102 toG1519 the savingG4047 of the soulG5590.
AndG2532 being made perfectG5048, he becameG1096 the authorG159 of eternalG166 salvationG4991 unto allG3956 them that obeyG5219 himG846;
ThenG3767 verilyG3303 the firstG4413 covenant hadG2192 alsoG2532 ordinancesG1345 of divine serviceG2999, andG5037 a worldlyG2886 sanctuaryG39. {ordinances: or, ceremonies}
ForG1063 there wasG2680 a tabernacleG4633 madeG2680; the firstG4413, whereinG1722+G3739+G5037 was the candlestickG3087, andG2532 the tableG5132, andG2532 the shewbreadG4286+G740; whichG3748 is calledG3004 the sanctuaryG39. {the sanctuary: or, holy}
AndG1161 afterG3326 the secondG1208 veilG2665, the tabernacleG4633 whichG3588 is calledG3004 the Holiest of allG39+G39;
Which hadG2192 the goldenG5552 censerG2369, andG2532 the arkG2787 of the covenantG1242 overlaidG4028 round aboutG3840 with goldG5553, whereinG1722+G3739 was the goldenG5552 potG4713 that hadG2192 mannaG3131, andG2532 Aaron'sG2 rodG4464 that buddedG985, andG2532 the tablesG4109 of the covenantG1242;
AndG1161 overG5231 itG846 the cherubimsG5502 of gloryG1391 shadowingG2683 the mercyseatG2435; ofG4012 whichG3739 we cannotG3756+G2076 nowG3568 speakG3004 particularlyG2596+G3313.
NowG1161 when these thingsG5130 wereG2680 thusG3779 ordainedG2680, the priestsG2409 wentG1524 alwaysG1275 intoG1519+G3303 the firstG4413 tabernacleG4633, accomplishingG2005 the serviceG2999 of God.
ButG1161 intoG1519 the secondG1208 went the high priestG749 aloneG3441 onceG530 every yearG1763, notG3756 withoutG5565 bloodG129, whichG3739 he offeredG4374 forG5228 himselfG1438, andG2532 for the errorsG51 of the peopleG2992:
The HolyG40 GhostG4151 thisG5124 signifyingG1213, that the wayG3598 into the holiest of allG39 wasG5319 not yetG3380 made manifestG5319, while as the firstG4413 tabernacleG4633 wasG2192 yetG2089 standingG4714:
WhichG3748 was a figureG3850 forG1519 the timeG2540 then presentG1764, inG2596 whichG3739 were offeredG4374 bothG5037 giftsG1435 andG2532 sacrificesG2378, that couldG1410 notG3361 makeG5048 him that did the serviceG3000 perfectG5048, as pertaining toG2596 the conscienceG4893;
Which stood onlyG3440 inG1909 meatsG1033 andG2532 drinksG4188, andG2532 diversG1313 washingsG909, andG2532 carnalG4561 ordinancesG1345, imposedG1945 on them untilG3360 the timeG2540 of reformationG1357. {ordinances: or, rites, or, ceremonies}
ButG1161 ChristG5547 being comeG3854 an high priestG749 of good thingsG18 to comeG3195, byG1223 a greaterG3187 andG2532 more perfectG5046 tabernacleG4633, notG3756 made with handsG5499, that is to sayG5123, notG3756 of thisG5026 buildingG2937;
NeitherG3761 byG1223 the bloodG129 of goatsG5131 andG2532 calvesG3448, butG1161 byG1223 his ownG2398 bloodG129 he entered inG1525 onceG2178 intoG1519 the holy placeG39, having obtainedG2147 eternalG166 redemptionG3085 for us.
ForG1063 ifG1487 the bloodG129 of bullsG5022 andG2532 of goatsG5131, andG2532 the ashesG4700 of an heiferG1151 sprinklingG4472 the uncleanG2840, sanctifiethG37 toG4314 the purifyingG2514 of the fleshG4561:
How muchG4214 moreG3123 shallG2511 the bloodG129 of ChristG5547, whoG3739 throughG1223 the eternalG166 SpiritG4151 offeredG4374 himselfG1438 without spotG299 to GodG2316, purgeG2511 yourG5216 conscienceG4893 fromG575 deadG3498 worksG2041 toG1519 serveG3000 the livingG2198 GodG2316? {spot: or, fault}
AndG2532 for thisG5124 causeG1223 he isG2076 the mediatorG3316 of the newG2537 testamentG1242, thatG3704 by meansG1096 of deathG2288, forG1519 the redemptionG629 of the transgressionsG3847 that were underG1909 the firstG4413 testamentG1242, they which are calledG2564 might receiveG2983 the promiseG1860 of eternalG166 inheritanceG2817.
ForG1063 whereG3699 a testamentG1242 is, there must also of necessityG318 beG5342 the deathG2288 of the testatorG1303. {be: or, be brought in}
ForG1063 a testamentG1242 is of forceG949 afterG1909 men are deadG3498: otherwiseG1893 it is ofG2480 noG3379 strengthG2480 at allG3379 whileG3753 the testatorG1303 livethG2198.
WhereuponG3606 neitherG3761 the firstG4413 testament was dedicatedG1457 withoutG5565 bloodG129. {dedicated: or, purified}
ForG1063 whenG5259 MosesG3475 had spokenG2980 everyG3956 preceptG1785 to allG3956 the peopleG2992 accordingG2596 to the lawG3551, he tookG2983 the bloodG129 of calvesG3448 andG2532 of goatsG5131, withG3326 waterG5204, andG2532 scarletG2847 woolG2053, andG2532 hyssopG5301, and sprinkledG4472 bothG5037 the bookG975+G846, andG2532 allG3956 the peopleG2992, {scarlet: or, purple}
SayingG3004, ThisG5124 is the bloodG129 of the testamentG1242 whichG3739 GodG2316 hath enjoinedG1781 untoG4314 youG5209.
MoreoverG1161+G3668 he sprinkledG4472 with bloodG129 bothG2532 the tabernacleG4633, andG2532 allG3956 the vesselsG4632 of the ministryG3009.
AndG2532 almostG4975 all thingsG3956 areG2511 byG2596 the lawG3551 purgedG2511 withG1722 bloodG129; andG2532 withoutG5565 shedding of bloodG130 isG1096 noG3756 remissionG859.
It was thereforeG3767 necessaryG318 that the patternsG5262 of thingsG3303 inG1722 the heavensG3772 should be purifiedG2511 with theseG5125; butG1161 the heavenly thingsG2032 themselvesG846 with betterG2909 sacrificesG2378 thanG3844 theseG5025.
ForG1063 ChristG5547 isG1525 notG3756 enteredG1525 intoG1519 the holy placesG39 made with handsG5499, which are the figuresG499 of the trueG228; butG235 intoG1519 heavenG3772 itselfG846, nowG3568 to appearG1718 in the presenceG4383 of GodG2316 forG5228 usG2257:
NorG3761 yet thatG2443 he should offerG4374 himselfG1438 oftenG4178, asG5618 the high priestG749 enterethG1525 intoG1519 the holy placeG39 everyG2596 yearG1763 withG1722 bloodG129 of othersG245;
For thenG1893 mustG1163 heG846 oftenG4178 have sufferedG3958 sinceG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889: butG1161 nowG3568 onceG530 inG1909 the endG4930 of the worldG165 hath he appearedG5319 toG1519 put awayG115 sinG266 byG1223 the sacrificeG2378 of himselfG846.
AndG2532 asG2596+G3745 it is appointedG606 unto menG444 onceG530 to dieG599, butG1161 afterG3326 thisG5124 the judgmentG2920:
SoG3779 ChristG5547 was onceG530 offeredG4374 toG1519 bearG399 the sinsG266 of manyG4183; and unto them that lookG553 for himG846 shall he appearG3700+G1537 the second timeG1208 withoutG5565 sinG266 untoG1519 salvationG4991.
LetG3306 brotherly loveG5360 continueG3306.
BeG1950 notG3361 forgetfulG1950 to entertain strangersG5381: forG1063 therebyG1223+G5026 someG5100 have entertainedG3579 angelsG32 unawaresG2990.
RememberG3403 them that are in bondsG1198, asG5613 bound with themG4887; and them which suffer adversityG2558, asG5613 beingG5607 yourselvesG846 alsoG2532 inG1722 the bodyG4983.
MarriageG1062 is honourableG5093 inG1722 allG3956, andG2532 the bedG2845 undefiledG283: butG1161 whoremongersG4205 andG2532 adulterersG3432 GodG2316 will judgeG2919.
Let your conversationG5158 be without covetousnessG866; and be contentG714 with such things as ye haveG3918: forG1063 heG846 hath saidG2046, I will neverG3364 leaveG447 theeG4571, norG3761+G3364 forsakeG1459 theeG4571.
So thatG5620 weG2248 may boldlyG2292 sayG3004, The LordG2962 is myG1698 helperG998, andG2532 I willG5399 notG3756 fearG5399 whatG5101 manG444 shall doG4160 unto meG3427.
RememberG3421 them which have the ruleG2233 over youG5216, whoG3748 have spokenG2980 unto youG5213 the wordG3056 of GodG2316: whoseG3739 faithG4102 followG3401, consideringG333 the endG1545 of their conversationG391. {have the rule: or, are the guides}
JesusG2424 ChristG5547 the sameG846 yesterdayG5504, andG2532 to dayG4594, andG2532 forG1519 everG165.
BeG4064 notG3361 carried aboutG4064 with diversG4164 andG2532 strangeG3581 doctrinesG1322. ForG1063 it is a good thingG2570 that the heartG2588 be establishedG950 with graceG5485; notG3756 with meatsG1033, which haveG5623 notG3756 profitedG5623 them that have been occupiedG4043 thereinG1722+G3739.
We haveG2192 an altarG2379, whereofG1537+G3739 they haveG2192 noG3756 rightG1849 to eatG5315 which serveG3000 the tabernacleG4633.
ForG1063 the bodiesG4983 of thoseG5130 beastsG2226, whoseG3739 bloodG129 is broughtG1533 intoG1519 the sanctuaryG39 byG1223 the high priestG749 forG4012 sinG266, are burnedG2618 withoutG1854 the campG3925.
WhereforeG1352 JesusG2424 alsoG2532, thatG2443 he might sanctifyG37 the peopleG2992 withG1223 his ownG2398 bloodG129, sufferedG3958 withoutG1854 the gateG4439.
Let us go forthG1831 thereforeG5106 untoG4314 himG846 withoutG1854 the campG3925, bearingG5342 hisG846 reproachG3680.
ForG1063 hereG5602 have weG2192 noG3756 continuingG3306 cityG4172, butG235 we seek oneG1934 to comeG3195.
ByG1223 himG846 thereforeG3767 let us offerG399 the sacrificeG2378 of praiseG133 to GodG2316 continuallyG1275, that isG5123, the fruitG2590 of our lipsG5491 giving thanksG3670 to hisG846 nameG3686. {giving…: Gr. confessing to}
ButG1161 to do goodG2140 andG2532 to communicateG2842 forgetG1950 notG3361: forG1063 with suchG5108 sacrificesG2378 GodG2316 is well pleasedG2100.
ObeyG3982 them that have the ruleG2233 over youG5216, andG2532 submit yourselvesG5226: forG1063 theyG846 watchG69 forG5228 yourG5216 soulsG5590, asG5613 they that must giveG591 accountG3056, thatG2443 they may doG4160 itG5124 withG3326 joyG5479, andG2532 notG3361 with griefG4727: forG1063 thatG5124 is unprofitableG255 for youG5213. {have…: or, guide}
PrayG4336 forG4012 usG2257: forG1063+G3754 we trustG3982 we haveG2192 a goodG2570 conscienceG4893, inG1722 all thingsG3956 willingG2309 to liveG390 honestlyG2573.
ButG1161 I beseechG3870 you the ratherG4056 to doG4160 thisG5124, thatG2443 I may be restoredG600 to youG5213 the soonerG5032.
NowG1161 the GodG2316 of peaceG1515, that brought againG321 fromG1537 the deadG3498 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424, that greatG3173 shepherdG4166 of the sheepG4263, throughG1722 the bloodG129 of the everlastingG166 covenantG1242, {covenant: or, testament}
MakeG2675 youG5209 perfectG2675 inG1722 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041 toG1519 doG4160 hisG846 willG2307, workingG4160 inG1722 youG5213 that which is wellpleasingG2101 in hisG846 sightG1799, throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547; to whomG3739 be gloryG1391 forG1519 everG165 and everG165. AmenG281. {working: or, doing}
AndG1161 I beseechG3870 youG5209, brethrenG80, sufferG430 the wordG3056 of exhortationG3874: forG1063+G2532 I have written a letterG1989 unto youG5213 inG1223 few wordsG1024.
Know yeG1097 that our brotherG80 TimothyG5095 is set at libertyG630; withG3326 whomG3739, ifG1437 he comeG2064 shortlyG5032, I will seeG3700 youG5209.
SaluteG782 allG3956 them that have the ruleG2233 over youG5216, andG2532 allG3956 the saintsG40. They ofG575 ItalyG2482 saluteG782 youG5209.
GraceG5485 be withG3326 youG5216 allG3956. AmenG281. {Written to the Hebrews from Italy, by Timothy.}
