Whiston(i)
19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus;
20 By a new living way which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, through his flesh;
21 And an high priest over the house of God:
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.
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering, for he [is] faithful that promised:
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love, and to good works:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of our selves together, as the manner of same [is]; but exhorting: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there is not another sacrifice left still to be offered.
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment, and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28 He that despised Moses law, died without mercy and tears, under two or three witnesses:
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath troden 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?
30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance [belongeth] unto me, I will recompence. And again, That the Lord shall judge his people.
31 [It is] a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions:
33 Partly whilst ye were reproached, both by abuses and afflictions; and partly whilst ye became companions of them that were so used.
34 For ye had compassion of those in bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in your selves that ye have a better and an enduring substance.
35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
36 For ye have need of patience; that after ye have done the will of God ye may receive the promise.
37 For yet a while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
38 Now the just shall live by my faith: but if he draw back, my foul shall have no pleasure in him.
39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition: but of them that believe, to the saving of the soul.
