Line 3: Line 3:

[1] In many and various ways God spoke of old to our fathers by the prophets;

[2] but in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.

−

[3] He reflects the glory of God and bears the very stamp of his nature, upholding the universe by his word of power. When he had made purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

[3] He reflects the glory of God and bears the very stamp of his nature, upholding the universe by his word of power. When he had made purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

[4] having become as much superior to angels as the name he has obtained is more excellent than theirs.

[5] For to what angel did God ever say,

Line 10: Line 10:

:Or again, "I will be to him a father,

:and he shall be to me a son"?

−

[6] And again, when he brings the first-born into the world, he says, "Let all God's angels worship him."

+

[6] And again, when he brings the first-born into the world, he says, "Let all God's angels worship him."

[7] Of the angels he says, "Who makes his angels winds,

and his servants flames of fire."

Line 30: Line 30:

:till I make thy enemies

:a stool for thy feet"?

−

[14] Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to serve, for the sake of those who are to obtain salvation?

+

[14] Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to serve, for the sake of those who are to obtain salvation?

==The Letter to the Hebrews, II==

[1] Therefore we must pay the closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it.

−

[2] For if the message declared by angels was valid and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution,

+

[2] For if the message declared by angels was valid and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution,

[3] how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard him,

[4] while God also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his own will.

Line 41: Line 42:

:"What is man that thou art mindful of him,

:or the son of man, that thou carest for him?

−

:[7] Thou didst make him for a little while lower than the angels,

+

:[7] Thou didst make him for a little while lower than the angels,

:thou hast crowned him with glory and honor,

:[8] putting everything in subjection under his feet."

Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside his control. As it is, we do not yet see everything in subjection to him.

−

[9] But we see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for every one.

+

[9] But we see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for every one.

[10] For it was fitting that he, for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through suffering. [11] For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified have all one origin. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

[12] saying,

Line 56: Line 57:

[15] and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong bondage.

−

[16] For surely it is not with angels that he is concerned but with the descendants of Abraham.

+

[16] For surely it is not with angels that he is concerned but with the descendants of Abraham.

[17] Therefore he had to be made like his brethren in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make expiation for the sins of the people.

−

[18] For because he himself has suffered and been tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

[18] For because he himself has suffered and been tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

==The Letter to the Hebrews, III==

[1] Therefore, holy brethren, who share in a heavenly call, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession.

Line 107: Line 109:

[12] For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

−

[13] And before him no creature is hidden, but all are open and laid bare to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

+

[13] And before him no creature is hidden, but all are open and laid bare to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

[14] Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

−

[15] For we have not a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.

+

[15] For we have not a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.

[16] Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

[16] Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

==The Letter to the Hebrews, V==

[1] For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.

Line 124: Line 127:

:"Thou art a priest for ever,

:after the order of Melchiz'edek."

−

[7] In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard for his godly fear.

+

[7] In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard for his godly fear.

[8] Although he was a Son, he learned obedience through what he suffered;

[9] and being made perfect he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him,

−

[10] being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchiz'edek.

+

[10] being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchiz'edek.

[11] About this we have much to say which is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.

[12] For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need some one to teach you again the first principles of God's word. You need milk, not solid food;

[13] for every one who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a child.

−

[14] But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their faculties trained by practice to distinguish good from evil.

+

[14] But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their faculties trained by practice to distinguish good from evil.

==The Letter to the Hebrews, VI==

[1] Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,

Line 159: Line 163:

[20] where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest for ever after the order of Melchiz'edek.

==The Letter to the Hebrews, VII==

−

[1] For this Melchiz'edek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him;

+

[1] For this Melchiz'edek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him;

[2] and to him Abraham apportioned a tenth part of everything. He is first, by translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then he is also king of Salem, that is, king of peace.

−

[3] He is without father or mother or genealogy, and has neither beginning of days nor end of life, but resembling the Son of God he continues a priest for ever.

+

[3] He is without father or mother or genealogy, and has neither beginning of days nor end of life, but resembling the Son of God he continues a priest for ever.

[4] See how great he is! Abraham the patriarch gave him a tithe of the spoils.

Line 170: Line 174:

[8] Here tithes are received by mortal men; there, by one of whom it is testified that he lives.

[9] One might even say that Levi himself, who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham,

−

[10] for he was still in the loins of his ancestor when Melchiz'edek met him.

+

[10] for he was still in the loins of his ancestor when Melchiz'edek met him.

[11] Now if perfection had been attainable through the Levit'ical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the order of Melchiz'edek, rather than one named after the order of Aaron?

Line 179: Line 183:

[16] who has become a priest, not according to a legal requirement concerning bodily descent but by the power of an indestructible life.

−

[17] For it is witnessed of him,

+

[17] For it is witnessed of him, "Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchiz'edek."

−

:"Thou art a priest for ever,

−

:after the order of Melchiz'edek."

[18] On the one hand, a former commandment is set aside because of its weakness and uselessness

[19] (for the law made nothing perfect); on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.

Line 198: Line 200:

[27] He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people; he did this once for all when he offered up himself.

−

[28] Indeed, the law appoints men in their weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect for ever.

+

[28] Indeed, the law appoints men in their weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect for ever.

+

==The Letter to the Hebrews, VIII==

[1] Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,

Line 256: Line 259:

[20] saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God commanded you."

[21] And in the same way he sprinkled with the blood both the tent and all the vessels used in worship.

−

[22] Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.

+

[22] Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.

[23] Thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

Line 263: Line 266:

[26] for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the age to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

[27] And just as it is appointed for men to die once, and after that comes judgment,

−

[28] so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.

+

[28] so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.

+

==The Letter to the Hebrews, X==

[1] For since the law has but a shadow of the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices which are continually offered year after year, make perfect those who draw near.

Line 294: Line 298:

[19] Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus,

−

[20] by the new and living way which he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh,

+

[20] by the new and living way which he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh,

[21] and since we have a great priest over the house of God,

[22] let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

Line 310: Line 314:

[33] sometimes being publicly exposed to abuse and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated.

−

[34] For you had compassion on the prisoners, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one.

+

[34] For you had compassion on the prisoners, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one.

[35] Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.

[36] For you have need of endurance, so that you may do the will of God and receive what is promised.

Line 318: Line 322:

:and if he shrinks back,

:my soul has no pleasure in him."

−

[39] But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and keep their souls.

+

[39] But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and keep their souls.

==The Letter to the Hebrews, XI==

−

[1] Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

+

[1] Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

[2] For by it the men of old received divine approval.

Line 333: Line 337:

[9] By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise.

−

[10] For he looked forward to the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

+

[10] For he looked forward to the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

[11] By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised.

[12] Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born descendants as many as the stars of heaven and as the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore.

Line 340: Line 344:

[14] For people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland.

[15] If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out, they would have had opportunity to return.

−

[16] But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.

+

[16] But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.

[17] By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was ready to offer up his only son,

Line 353: Line 357:

[25] choosing rather to share ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.

[26] He considered abuse suffered for the Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he looked to the reward.

−

[27] By faith he left Egypt, not being afraid of the anger of the king; for he endured as seeing him who is invisible.

+

[27] By faith he left Egypt, not being afraid of the anger of the king; for he endured as seeing him who is invisible.

[28] By faith he kept the Passover and sprinkled the blood, so that the Destroyer of the first-born might not touch them.

[29] By faith the people crossed the Red Sea as if on dry land; but the Egyptians, when they attempted to do the same, were drowned.

Line 369: Line 373:

[39] And all these, though well attested by their faith, did not receive what was promised,

[40] since God had foreseen something better for us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect.

==The Letter to the Hebrews, XII==

[1] Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us,

−

[2] looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

+

[2] looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

[3] Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.

Line 390: Line 395:

[13] and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed.

−

[14] Strive for peace with all men, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.

+

[14] Strive for peace with all men, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.

[15] See to it that no one fail to obtain the grace of God; that no "root of bitterness" spring up and cause trouble, and by it the many become defiled;

[16] that no one be immoral or irreligious like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal.

Line 399: Line 404:

[20] For they could not endure the order that was given, "If even a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned."

[21] Indeed, so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, "I tremble with fear."

−

[22] But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering,

[22] But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering,

[23] and to the assembly of the first-born who are enrolled in heaven, and to a judge who is God of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,

[24] and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks more graciously than the blood of Abel.

[25] See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less shall we escape if we reject him who warns from heaven.

Line 436: Line 441:

[19] I urge you the more earnestly to do this in order that I may be restored to you the sooner.

−

[20] Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant,

[20] Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant,

[21] equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in you that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
