7 : 26 For such an high priest became us , who is holy , harmless , undefiled , separate from sinners , and made higher than the heavens ;
7 : 27 Who needeth not daily , as those high priests , to offer up sacrifice , first for his own sins , and then for the people ’ s : for this he did once , when he offered up himself .
7 : 28 For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity ; but the word of the oath , which was since the law , maketh the Son , who is consecrated for evermore .
8 : 1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum : We have such an high priest , who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens ; 8 : 2 A minister of the sanctuary , and of the true tabernacle , which the Lord pitched , and not man .
8 : 3 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices : wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer .
8 : 4 For if he were on earth , he should not be a priest , seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law : 8 : 5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things , as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle : for , See , saith he , that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount .
8 : 6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry , by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant , which was established upon better promises .
8 : 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless , then should no place have been sought for the second .
8 : 8 For finding fault with them , he saith , Behold , the days come , saith the Lord , when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah : 8 : 9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt ; because they continued not in my covenant , and I regarded them not , saith the Lord .
8 : 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days , saith the Lord ; I will put my laws into their mind , and write them in their hearts : and I will be to them a God , and they shall be to me a people : 8 : 11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour , and every man his brother , saying , Know the Lord : for all shall know me , from the least to the greatest .
8 : 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness , and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more .
8 : 13 In that he saith , A new covenant , he hath made the first old . Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away .
9 : 1 Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service , and a worldly sanctuary .
9 : 2 For there was a tabernacle made ; the first , wherein was the candlestick , and the table , and the shewbread ; which is called the sanctuary .
9 : 3 And after the second veil , the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all ; 9 : 4 Which had the golden censer , and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold , wherein was the golden pot that had manna , and Aaron ’ s rod that budded , and the tables of the covenant ; 9 : 5 And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat ; of which we cannot now speak particularly .
9 : 6 Now when these things were thus ordained , the priests went always into the first tabernacle , accomplishing the service of God .
9 : 7 But into the second went the high priest alone once every year , not without blood , which he offered for himself , and for the errors of the people : 9 : 8 The Holy Ghost this signifying , that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest , while as the first tabernacle was yet standing : 9 : 9 Which was a figure for the time then present , in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices , that could not make him that did the service perfect , as pertaining to the conscience ; 9 : 10 Which stood only in meats and drinks , and divers washings , and carnal ordinances , imposed on them until the time of reformation .
9 : 11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come , by a greater and more perfect tabernacle , not made with hands , that is to say , not of this building ; 9 : 12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves , but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place , having obtained eternal redemption for us .
9 : 13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats , and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean , sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh : 9 : 14 How much more shall the blood of Christ , who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God , purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God ? 9 : 15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament , that by means of death , for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament , they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance .
9 : 16 For where a testament is , there must also of necessity be the death of the testator .
9 : 17 For a testament is of force after men are dead : otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth .
9 : 18 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood .
9 : 19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law , he took the blood of calves and of goats , with water , and scarlet wool , and hyssop , and sprinkled both the book , and all the people , 9 : 20 Saying , This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you .
9 : 21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle , and all the vessels of the ministry .
9 : 22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood ; and without shedding of blood is no remission .
9 : 23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these ; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these .
9 : 24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands , which are the figures of the true ; but into heaven itself , now to appear in the presence of God for us : 9 : 25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often , as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others ; 9 : 26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world : but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself .
9 : 27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die , but after this the judgment : 9 : 28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many ; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation .
10 : 1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come , and not the very image of the things , can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect .
10 : 2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered ? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins .
10 : 3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year .
10 : 4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins .
10 : 5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world , he saith , Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not , but a body hast thou prepared me : 10 : 6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure .
10 : 7 Then said I , Lo , I come ( in the volume of the book it is written of me , ) to do thy will , O God .
10 : 8 Above when he said , Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not , neither hadst pleasure therein ; which are offered by the law ; 10 : 9 Then said he , Lo , I come to do thy will , O God . He taketh away the first , that he may establish the second .
10 : 10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all .
10 : 11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices , which can never take away sins : 10 : 12 But this man , after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever , sat down on the right hand of God ; 10 : 13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool .
10 : 14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified .
10 : 15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us : for after that he had said before , 10 : 16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days , saith the Lord , I will put my laws into their hearts , and in their minds will I write them ; 10 : 17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more .
10 : 18 Now where remission of these is , there is no more offering for sin .
10 : 19 Having therefore , brethren , boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus , 10 : 20 By a new and living way , which he hath consecrated for us , through the veil , that is to say , his flesh ; 10 : 21 And having an high priest over the house of God ; 10 : 22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith , having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience , and our bodies washed with pure water .
10 : 23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering ;
( for he is faithful that promised ; ) 10 : 24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works : 10 : 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together , as the manner of some is ; but exhorting one another : and so much the more , as ye see the day approaching .
10 : 26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth , there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins , 10 : 27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation , which shall devour the adversaries .
10 : 28 He that despised Moses ’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses : 10 : 29 Of how much sorer punishment , suppose ye , shall he be thought worthy , who hath trodden under foot the Son of God , and hath counted the blood of the covenant , wherewith he was sanctified , an unholy thing , and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace ?
10 : 30 For we know him that hath said , Vengeance belongeth unto me , I will recompense , saith the Lord . And again , The Lord shall judge his people .
10 : 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God .
10 : 32 But call to remembrance the former days , in which , after ye were illuminated , ye endured a great fight of afflictions ; 10 : 33 Partly , whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions ; and partly , whilst ye became companions of them that were so used .
10 : 34 For ye had compassion of me in my bonds , and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods , knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance .
10 : 35 Cast not away therefore your confidence , which hath great recompence of reward .
10 : 36 For ye have need of patience , that , after ye have done the will of God , ye might receive the promise .
10 : 37 For yet a little while , and he that shall come will come , and will not tarry .
10 : 38 Now the just shall live by faith : but if any man draw back , my soul shall have no pleasure in him .
10 : 39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition ; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul .
11 : 1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for , the evidence of things not seen .
11 : 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report .
11 : 3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God , so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear .
11 : 4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain , by which he obtained witness that he was righteous , God testifying of his gifts : and by it he being dead yet speaketh .
11 : 5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death ; and was not found , because God had translated him : for before his translation he had this testimony , that he pleased God .
11 : 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him : for he that cometh to God must believe that he is , and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him .
11 : 7 By faith Noah , being warned of God of things not seen as yet , moved with fear , prepared an ark to the saving of his house ; by the which he condemned the world , and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith .
11 : 8 By faith Abraham , when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance , obeyed ; and he went out , not knowing whither he went .
11 : 9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise , as in a strange country , dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob , the heirs with him of the same promise : 11 : 10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations , whose builder and maker is God .
11 : 11 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed , and was delivered of a child when she was past age , because she judged him faithful who had promised .
11 : 12 Therefore sprang there even of one , and him as good as dead , so many as the stars of the sky in multitude , and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable .
11 : 13 These all died in faith , not having received the promises , but having seen them afar off , and were persuaded of them , and embraced them , and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth .
11 : 14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country .
11 : 15 And truly , if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out , they might have had opportunity to have returned .
11 : 16 But now they desire a better country , that is , an heavenly : wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God : for he hath prepared for them a city .
11 : 17 By faith Abraham , when he was tried , offered up Isaac : and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son , 11 : 18 Of whom it was said , That in Isaac shall thy seed be called : 11 : 19 Accounting that God was able to raise him up , even from the dead ; from whence also he received him in a figure .
11 : 20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come .
11 : 21 By faith Jacob , when he was a dying , blessed both the sons of Joseph ; and worshipped , leaning upon the top of his staff .
11 : 22 By faith Joseph , when he died , made mention of the departing of the children of Israel ; and gave commandment concerning his bones .
11 : 23 By faith Moses , when he was born , was hid three months of his parents , because they saw he was a proper child ; and they were not afraid of the king ’ s commandment .
11 : 24 By faith Moses , when he was come to years , refused to be called the son of Pharaoh ’ s daughter ; 11 : 25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God , than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season ; 11 : 26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt : for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward .
11 : 27 By faith he forsook Egypt , not fearing the wrath of the king : for he endured , as seeing him who is invisible .
11 : 28 Through faith he kept the passover , and the sprinkling of blood , lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them .
11 : 29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land : which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned .
11 : 30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down , after they were compassed about seven days .
11 : 31 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not , when she had received the spies with peace .
11 : 32 And what shall I more say ? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon , and of Barak , and of Samson , and of Jephthae ; of David also , and Samuel , and of the prophets : 11 : 33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms , wrought righteousness , obtained promises , stopped the mouths of lions .
11 : 34 Quenched the violence of fire , escaped the edge of the sword , out of weakness were made strong , waxed valiant in fight , turned to flight the armies of the aliens .
11 : 35 Women received their dead raised to life again : and others were tortured , not accepting deliverance ; that they might obtain a better resurrection : 11 : 36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings , yea , moreover of bonds and imprisonment : 11 : 37 They were stoned , they were sawn asunder , were tempted , were slain with the sword : they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins ; being destitute , afflicted , tormented ; 11 : 38 ( Of whom the world was not worthy : ) they wandered in deserts , and in mountains , and in dens and caves of the earth .
11 : 39 And these all , having obtained a good report through faith , received not the promise : 11 : 40 God having provided some better thing for us , that they without us should not be made perfect .
12 : 1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses , let us lay aside every weight , and the sin which doth so easily beset us , and let us run with patience the race that is set before us , 12 : 2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith ; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross , despising the shame , and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God .
12 : 3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself , lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds .
12 : 4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood , striving against sin .
12 : 5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children , My son , despise not thou the chastening of the Lord , nor faint when thou art rebuked of him : 12 : 6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth , and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth .
12 : 7 If ye endure chastening , God dealeth with you as with sons ; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not ? 12 : 8 But if ye be without chastisement , whereof all are partakers , then are ye bastards , and not sons .
12 : 9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us , and we gave them reverence : shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits , and live ? 12 : 10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure ; but he for our profit , that we might be partakers of his holiness .
12 : 11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous , but grievous : nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby .
12 : 12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down , and the feeble knees ; 12 : 13 And make straight paths for your feet , lest that which is lame be turned out of the way ; but let it rather be healed .
12 : 14 Follow peace with all men , and holiness , without which no man shall see the Lord : 12 : 15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God ; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you , and thereby many be defiled ; 12 : 16 Lest there be any fornicator , or profane person , as Esau , who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright .
12 : 17 For ye know how that afterward , when he would have inherited the blessing , he was rejected : for he found no place of repentance , though he sought it carefully with tears .
12 : 18 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched , and that burned with fire , nor unto blackness , and darkness , and tempest ,
12 : 19 And the sound of a trumpet , and the voice of words ; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more : 12 : 20 ( For they could not endure that which was commanded , And if so much as a beast touch the mountain , it shall be stoned , or thrust through with a dart : 12 : 21 And so terrible was the sight , that Moses said , I exceedingly fear and quake : ) 12 : 22 But ye are come unto mount Sion , and unto the city of the living God , the heavenly Jerusalem , and to an innumerable company of angels , 12 : 23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn , which are written in heaven , and to God the Judge of all , and to the spirits of just men made perfect , 12 : 24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant , and to the blood of sprinkling , that speaketh better things than that of Abel .
12 : 25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh . For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth , much more shall not we escape , if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven : 12 : 26 Whose voice then shook the earth : but now he hath promised , saying , Yet once more I shake not the earth only , but also heaven .
12 : 27 And this word , Yet once more , signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken , as of things that are made , that those things which cannot be shaken may remain .
12 : 28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved , let us have grace , whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear : 12 : 29 For our God is a consuming fire .
13 : 1 Let brotherly love continue .
