Hebrews 9 Cross References - ACV

¹ Now indeed therefore the first had ordinances of divine service and the earthly sanctuary. ² For a tabernacle was prepared, the first in which was also the lampstand, and the table, and the presentation of the loaves, which is called the Holy place. ³ And behind the second curtain, the tabernacle called the Holy of holies, ⁴ having a golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid entirely in gold, in which was a golden pot holding the manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant. ⁵ And above it were cherubim of glory overshadowing the place of forgiveness, about which things it is not now to speak in detail. ⁶ And these things thus having been prepared, the priests indeed enter into the first part of the tabernacle continually, accomplishing the services. ⁷ But into the second part, the high priest alone, once a year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the unintentional sins of the people, ⁸ this signifying from the Holy Spirit, the way into the holy things is not yet to be made known while the first tabernacle still remains. ⁹ Which is a figure for the present time, according to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered that are not able to make the man officiating fully perfect in respect to conscience, ¹⁰ only in foods and drinks and various washings: carnal ordinances imposed until a time of reformation. ¹¹ But Christ, having arrived a high priest of the good things that are coming, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation, ¹² and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, he entered in once into the Holy things, having found eternal redemption. ¹³ For if the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling those who were defiled, sanctifies for the purification of the flesh, ¹⁴ how much more the blood of Christ, who, through the eternal Spirit, offered himself unblemished to God, will cleanse your conscience from dead works in order to serve a living God? ¹⁵ And because of this he is mediator of a new covenant, so that a death having occurred for the redemption of the transgressions against the first covenant, those who are called might take the promise of the eternal inheritance. ¹⁶ For where a covenant is, a necessity is to present the death of the man who made the covenant. ¹⁷ For a covenant is effective with the dead, since it is never enforced while the man who made the covenant lives. ¹⁸ Whereupon neither has the first been dedicated without blood. ¹⁹ For of every commandment according to law that was spoken by Moses to all the people, after taking the blood of the calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, he sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, ²⁰ saying, This is the blood of the covenant that God made for you. ²¹ And likewise he sprinkled with the blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the service. ²² And almost all things, according to the law, are cleansed with blood, and remission does not occur without bloodshed. ²³ Indeed therefore, a necessity was for the models of the things in the heavens themselves to be cleansed with these, but the heavenly things with better sacrifices than these. ²⁴ For the Christ entered not into a holy place made with hands, representative of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us. ²⁵ And not so that he might offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the Holy things each year with blood by another, ²⁶ since it would be necessary for him to suffer often, from the foundation of the world. But now once, at the end of the ages, he was made known for an annulment of sin by the sacrifice of himself. ²⁷ And inasmuch as it is reserved to men once to die, and after this, judgment, ²⁸ so also the Christ, having been offered once in order to take up the sins of many, will appear a second time, independent of sin, to those waiting for him for salvation.

For he went into the temple of LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense. ¹⁷ And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him eighty priests of LORD, who were valiant men. ¹⁸ And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said to him, It does not pertain to thee, Uzziah, to burn incense to LORD, but to the priests the sons of Aaron who are consecrated to burn incense. Go out of the sanctuary. For thou have trespassed, neither shall it be for thine honor from LORD God. ¹⁹ Then Uzziah was angry. And he had a censer in his hand to burn incense. And while he was angry with the priests, the leprosy broke forth in his forehead before the priests in the house of LORD, beside the altar of incense.

They are the holy garments, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and put them on. ⁵ And he shall take from the congregation of the sons of Israel two he-goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering. ⁶ And Aaron shall present the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself, and for his house. ⁷ And he shall take the two goats, and set them before LORD at the door of the tent of meeting. ⁸ And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats, one lot for LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat. ⁹ And Aaron shall present the goat upon which the lot fell for LORD, and offer him for a sin offering. ¹⁰ But the goat, on which the lot fell for the scapegoat, shall be set alive before LORD, to make atonement for him, to send him away for the scapegoat into the wilderness. ¹¹ And Aaron shall present the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin offering which is for himself. ¹² And he shall take a censer full of coals of fire from off the altar before LORD, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the veil. ¹³ And he shall put the incense upon the fire before LORD, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy-seat that is upon the testimony, that he not die. ¹⁴ And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy-seat on the east. And he shall sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times before the mercy-seat. ¹⁵ Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with his blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy-seat, and before the mercy-seat. ¹⁶ And he shall make atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleannesses of the sons of Israel, and because of their transgressions, even all their sins. And so he shall do for the tent of meeting that dwells with them in the midst of their uncleannesses. ¹⁷ And there shall be no man in the tent of meeting when he goes in to make atonement in the holy place until he comes out, and has made atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the assembly of Israel. ¹⁸ And he shall go out to the altar that is before LORD, and make atonement for it. And shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about. ¹⁹ And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleannesses of the sons of Israel. ²⁰ And when he has made an end of atoning for the holy place, and the tent of meeting, and the altar, he shall present the live goat.

³⁴ And this shall be an everlasting statute to you, to make atonement for the sons of Israel because of all their sins once in the year. And he did as LORD commanded Moses.

⁷ And the anger of LORD was kindled against Uzzah, and God smote him there for his error, and he died there by the ark of God.

⁹ And Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did evil more than the nations did whom LORD destroyed before the sons of Israel.

¹² Who can discern his errors? Clear thou me from hidden faults.

¹⁰ Forty years long I was grieved with that generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways.

¹² As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, those who lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.

¹⁶ For those who lead this people cause them to err, and those who are led by them are destroyed.

⁷ And even these reel with wine, and stagger with strong drink. The priest and the prophet reel with strong drink. They are swallowed up of wine. They stagger with strong drink; they err in vision; they stumble in judgment.

¹⁴ Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder. I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden.

¹² My people ask counsel at their stock, and their staff declares to them, for the spirit of whoredom has caused them to err, and they have played the harlot, departing from under their God.

¹⁴ And flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, nor shall the mighty deliver himself.

² Who can be gentle to those who are ignorant and led astray, since he himself is also encompassed with weakness. ³ And because of this he is obligated, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

²⁷ Who has no need to offer up sacrifices each day, as those high priests, first for his own sins, then for those of the people, for this he did, once, when he offered up himself.

²⁴ For the Christ entered not into a holy place made with hands, representative of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us. ²⁵ And not so that he might offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the Holy things each year with blood by another,

³ But in them is a reminder of sins each year.

¹¹ Then he remembered the days of old, Moses and his people, saying, Where is he who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he who put his holy Spirit in the midst of them,

⁷ Jesus therefore said to them again, Truly, truly, I say to you, that I am the door of the sheep.

⁹ I am the door. If any man enters in by me, he will be saved, and will come in and go out, and will find pasture.

⁶ Jesus says to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father, except by me.

⁵¹ Ye stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers, ye also. ⁵² Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who foretold about the coming of the Righteous man, of whom ye now have become betrayers and murderers,

²⁵ And being discord among each other, they departed after Paul spoke one thing, saying, Well spoke the Holy Spirit through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,

⁸ And the scripture having foreseen that God makes the Gentiles righteous from faith, proclaimed the good news in advance to Abraham: In thee all the nations will be blessed.

¹⁸ because through him we both have the access in one Spirit to the Father.

⁷ Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, Today if ye hear his voice,

¹⁵ For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but who was tempted in all things in the same way, without sin. ¹⁶ Let us therefore come near with boldness to the throne of grace, so that we may take mercy, and may find grace for timely help.

³ And behind the second curtain, the tabernacle called the Holy of holies,

¹⁵ And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us, after indeed foretelling,

¹⁹ Having therefore, brothers, boldness for entrance into the holy things by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ which he inaugurated for us, a new and living way through the curtain, that is, his flesh, ²¹ and a great priest over the house of God, ²² let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith, our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our body washed in pure water.

²¹ For no prophecy was ever brought by a will of man, but holy men of God spoke, being led by the Holy Spirit.

⁶ Sacrifice and offering thou did not desire, but a body thou have prepared for me. Whole burnt offering and sacrifice for sin thou did not require. ⁷ Then I said, Lo, I have come. In the volume of a book it is written of me.

¹⁶ For thou delight not in sacrifice, else I would give it. Thou have no pleasure in burnt offering. ¹⁷ The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart, O God, thou will not despise. ¹⁸ Do good in thy good pleasure to Zion. Build thou the walls of Jerusalem. ¹⁹ Then thou will delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt offering and in whole burnt offering. Then they will offer bullocks upon thine altar.

¹⁴ Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who did not sin in the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is a type of the coming man.

²¹ Is the law therefore against the promises of God? May it not happen! For if a law was given that could make alive, truly righteousness would be from law.

¹ For every high priest taken from men is appointed for men in things toward God, so that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

¹¹ If indeed therefore perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people had received the law), what further need is there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be designated according to the order of Aaron?

¹⁸ For indeed there becomes an annulment of a preceding commandment because of its weakness and uselessness ¹⁹ (for the law made nothing fully perfect), and an introduction of a better hope, through which we approach God.

¹³ For if the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling those who were defiled, sanctifies for the purification of the flesh, ¹⁴ how much more the blood of Christ, who, through the eternal Spirit, offered himself unblemished to God, will cleanse your conscience from dead works in order to serve a living God?

²⁴ For the Christ entered not into a holy place made with hands, representative of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.

¹ For the law having a shadow of the good things that are coming, not the same substance of the events, with the same sacrifices that are offered continually each year, they are never able to fully perfect those who are approaching. ² Otherwise would they not have ceased being offered, because of those who worship, once having been cleansed, to have no further conscience of sins? ³ But in them is a reminder of sins each year. ⁴ For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

¹¹ And indeed every priest stands daily serving and offering the same sacrifices often, which can never take away sins.

¹⁹ Having reckoned that God is able to raise up even from the dead, from where also, in a figure, he did receive him back.

³⁹ And all these, having been well reported through faith, did not receive the promise, ⁴⁰ God having foreseen something superior concerning us, so that without us they would not be made fully perfect.

¹¹ searching for what, or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ in them indicated, predicting the sufferings in Christ, and the glories after these things. ¹² To whom it was revealed, that they were serving not themselves, but you, those things that were now reported to you by those who preached good news to you in the Holy Spirit, which was sent forth from heaven, into which things agents longed to stoop to see.

²¹ Which counterpart-immersion-now also saves us, not the putting away of filth of flesh, but an appeal of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

⁴ And Aaron and his sons thou shall bring to the door of the tent of meeting, and shall wash them with water.

¹⁹ And Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet there. ²⁰ When they go into the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water, that they not die, or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to LORD. ²¹ So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they not die. And it shall be a statute forever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations.

¹² And thou shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tent of meeting, and shall wash them with water.

² Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, These are the living things which ye may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth. ³ Whatever parts the hoof, and is cloven footed, and chews the cud, among the beasts, that may ye eat. ⁴ Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those that part the hoof: the camel, because he chews the cud but does not part the hoof, he is unclean to you. ⁵ And the coney, because he chews the cud but does not part the hoof, he is unclean to you. ⁶ And the hare, because she chews the cud but does not part the hoof, she is unclean to you. ⁷ And the swine, because he parts the hoof, and is cloven footed, but does not chew the cud, he is unclean to you. ⁸ Of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcasses ye shall not touch, they are unclean to you. ⁹ These may ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, that may ye eat. ¹⁰ And all that have no fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination to you, ¹¹ and they shall be an abomination to you. Ye shall not eat of their flesh, and their carcasses ye shall have in abomination. ¹² Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters, that is an abomination to you. ¹³ And these ye shall have in abomination among the birds, they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the vulture, and the osprey, ¹⁴ and the kite, and the falcon after its kind, ¹⁵ every raven after its kind, ¹⁶ and the ostrich, and the night-hawk, and the sea-gull, and the hawk after its kind, ¹⁷ and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl, ¹⁸ and the horned owl, and the pelican, and the carrion vulture, ¹⁹ and the stork, the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat. ²⁰ All winged creeping things that go upon all fours are an abomination to you. ²¹ Yet these ye may eat of all winged creeping things that go upon all fours, which have legs above their feet, with which to leap upon the earth, ²² even these of them ye may eat: the locust after its kind, and the bald locust after its kind, and the cricket after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind. ²³ But all winged creeping things, which have four feet, are an abomination to you, ²⁴ and by these ye shall become unclean. Whoever touches the carcass of them shall be unclean until the evening. ²⁵ And whoever bears any of the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. ²⁶ Every beast which parts the hoof, and is not cloven footed, nor chews the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches them shall be unclean. ²⁷ And whatever goes upon its paws, among all beasts that go on all fours, they are unclean to you. Whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening. ²⁸ And he who bears the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening; they are unclean to you. ²⁹ And these are those which are unclean to you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth: the weasel, and the mouse, and the great lizard after its kind, ³⁰ and the gecko, and the land-crocodile, and the lizard, and the sand-lizard, and the chameleon. ³¹ These are those which are unclean to you among all that creep. Whoever touches them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until the evening. ³² And upon whatever any of them falls when they are dead, it shall be unclean, whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack. Whatever vessel it be, with which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening, then it shall be clean. ³³ And every earthen vessel, into which any of them falls, whatever is in it shall be unclean, and ye shall break it. ³⁴ All food therein which may be eaten, that on which water comes, shall be unclean, and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean. ³⁵ And everything upon which any part of their carcass falls shall be unclean, whether oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken in pieces; they are unclean, and shall be unclean to you. ³⁶ Nevertheless a fountain or a pit in which is a gathering of water shall be clean, but that which touches their carcass shall be unclean. ³⁷ And if any of their carcass falls upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean. ³⁸ But if water is put upon the seed, and any of their carcass falls in it, it is unclean to you. ³⁹ And if any beast, of which ye may eat, dies, he who touches the carcass of it shall be unclean until the evening. ⁴⁰ And he who eats of the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. He also who bears the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. ⁴¹ And every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth is an abomination; it shall not be eaten. ⁴² Whatever goes upon the belly, and whatever goes upon all fours, or whatever has many feet, even all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat, for they are an abomination. ⁴³ Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creeps, nor shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled by it. ⁴⁴ For I am LORD your God. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and become ye holy, since I am holy. Neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that moves upon the earth. ⁴⁵ For I am LORD who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. Ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy. ⁴⁶ This is the law of the beast, and of the bird, and of every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps upon the earth, ⁴⁷ to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.

⁸ And he who is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and bathe himself in water, and he shall be clean. And after that he shall come into the camp, but shall dwell outside his tent seven days. ⁹ And it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave off. And he shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and he shall be clean.

⁴ He shall put on the holy linen tunic, and he shall have the linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with the linen sash, and he shall be attired with the linen miter. They are the holy garments, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and put them on.

²⁴ And he shall bathe his flesh in water in a holy place, and put on his garments, and come forth, and offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people, and make atonement for himself and for the people.

¹⁵ And every soul who eats that which dies of itself, or that which is torn of beasts, whether he be home-born or a sojourner, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening, then he shall be clean. ¹⁶ But if he does not wash them, nor bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.

⁶ the soul that touches any such shall be unclean until the evening. And shall not eat of the holy things unless he bathe his flesh in water.

⁷ Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water. And afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the evening. ⁸ And he who burned her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the evening. ⁹ And a man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up outside the camp in a clean place. And it shall be kept for the congregation of the sons of Israel for a water for impurity. It is a sin offering. ¹⁰ And he who gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. And it shall be to the sons of Israel, and to the stranger who sojourns among them, for a statute forever. ¹¹ He who touches the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days. ¹² The same shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean, but if he does not purify himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean. ¹³ Whoever touches a dead person, the body of a man who has died, and does not purify himself, defiles the tabernacle of LORD. And that soul shall be cut off from Israel, because the water for impurity was not sprinkled upon him. He shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him. ¹⁴ This is the law when a man dies in a tent: everyone who comes into the tent, and everyone who is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days. ¹⁵ And every open vessel, which has no covering bound upon it, is unclean. ¹⁶ And whoever in the open field touches a man who is slain with a sword, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days. ¹⁷ And for the unclean they shall take of the ashes of the burning of the sin offering, and running water shall be put with that in a vessel. ¹⁸ And a clean man shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the souls who were there, and upon him who touched the bone, or the slain, or the dead, or the grave. ¹⁹ And the clean man shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day. And on the seventh day he shall purify him. And he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at evening. ²⁰ But the man who shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from the midst of the assembly, because he has defiled the sanctuary of LORD. The water for impurity has not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean. ²¹ And it shall be a perpetual statute to them. And he who sprinkles the water for impurity shall wash his clothes, and he who touches the water for impurity shall be unclean until evening.

³ Thou shall not eat any abominable thing. ⁴ These are the beasts which ye may eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat, ⁵ the hart, and the gazelle, and the roebuck, and the wild goat, and the ibex, and the antelope, and the chamois. ⁶ And every beast that parts the hoof, and has the hoof cloven in two, and chews the cud, among the beasts, that may ye eat. ⁷ Nevertheless of those that chew the cud, or of those that have the hoof cloven, these ye shall not eat: the camel, and the hare, and the coney, because they chew the cud but do not part the hoof, they are unclean to you, ⁸ and the swine, because he parts the hoof but does not chew the cud, he is unclean to you. Of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcasses ye shall not touch. ⁹ These ye may eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales ye may eat. ¹⁰ And whatever does not have fins and scales ye shall not eat; it is unclean to you. ¹¹ Of all clean birds ye may eat, ¹² but these are those of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the osprey, ¹³ and the glede, and the falcon, and the kite according to its kind, ¹⁴ and every raven after its kind, ¹⁵ and the ostrich, and the night-hawk, and the sea-gull, and the hawk according to its kind, ¹⁶ the little owl, and the great owl, and the horned owl, ¹⁷ and the pelican, and the vulture, and the cormorant, ¹⁸ and the stork, and the heron according to its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat. ¹⁹ And all winged creeping things are unclean to you. They shall not be eaten. ²⁰ Of all clean birds ye may eat. ²¹ Ye shall not eat of anything that dies of itself. Thou may give it to the sojourner who is within thy gates, that he may eat it, or thou may sell it to a foreigner, for thou are a holy people to LORD thy God. Thou shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk.

⁶ And all the elders of that city, who are nearest to the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley,

¹¹ But it shall be, when evening comes on, he shall bathe himself in water, and when the sun is down, he shall come inside the camp.

¹⁴ Then I said, Ah lord LORD! Behold, my soul has not been polluted. For from my youth up even till now I have not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is torn of beasts, neither has abominable flesh come into my mouth.

⁴ And coming from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they bathe. And there are many other things that they have taken in to retain: washings of cups, and pots, and brazen vessels, and beds.)

¹³ And a voice came to him, After rising, Peter, kill and eat. ¹⁴ But Peter said, Not so, Lord, because I have never eaten anything profane or unclean. ¹⁵ And a voice again for a second time, What God has cleansed, thou shall not make profane.

³ And so when we were children, we were in bondage under the rudiments of the world. ⁴ But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born from a woman, born under law,

⁹ but now knowing God, but rather being known by God, how is it ye turn again to the weak and destitute elements to which ye desire again to be in bondage anew?

¹⁰ for an administration of the fullness of the times. To gather together all things in the Christ, things in the heavens and things upon the earth,

¹⁵ having abolished in his flesh the enmity-the law of the commandments in ordinances-so that he might create in himself the two into one new man, making peace, ¹⁶ Let not any man therefore judge you in eating, or in drinking, or in the matter of a festival or a new moon or sabbaths,

²⁰ If ye died with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why do ye submit to rules, as though living in the world? ²¹ Do not handle, nor taste, nor touch ²² (which are all things for consumption by use), according to the commandments and teachings of men?

⁵ For he did not subject the coming world to agents, about which we speak.

² of doctrine of washings, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

⁵ and who tasted the good word of God and the powers of the coming age,

¹⁶ who has become, not according to a law of a carnal commandment, but according to the power of an indestructible life.

¹ Now indeed therefore the first had ordinances of divine service and the earthly sanctuary.

²² let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith, our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our body washed in pure water.

⁹ Be not carried away by various and foreign doctrines. For it is good that the heart be established with grace, not with foods by which those who walked were not benefited.

¹⁰ The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs, and to him shall the obedience of the peoples be.

⁷ Then I said, Lo, I have come. In the volume of a book it is written of me.

²⁰ And he who redeems will come to Zion, and to those who turn from transgression in Jacob, says LORD.

¹ Behold, I send my agent, and he shall prepare the way before me. And the Lord, whom ye seek, will suddenly come to his temple. And the messenger of the covenant, whom ye desire, behold, he comes, says LORD of hosts.

⁶ And thou Bethlehem, land of Judah, are in no way least among the rulers of Judah, for out of thee will come forth a man who rules, who will tend my people Israel.

³ he said to him, Are thou he who comes, or do we look for another man?

⁵⁸ We heard him saying, I will destroy this temple made with hands, and by three days I will build another not made with hands.

¹⁴ And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us. And we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.

²⁵ The woman says to him, I know that Messiah comes, he who is called Christ. When that man comes he will declare all things to us.

⁴⁸ However the Most High does not dwell in man-made temples, just as the prophet says,

²⁴ The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands, ²⁵ nor is he served by the hands of men, as needing anything, since he himself gives to all life, and breath, with all things.

¹ For we know that if the earthly house of our tent were destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made by hands, eternal in the heavens.

¹¹ In whom also ye were circumcised a circumcision not made with hands, in the removal of the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of the Christ.

¹⁷ Therefore he was obligated to be made like his brothers in accordance with all things, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things toward God, in order to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

¹ Because of which, holy brothers, companions of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our affirmation, Jesus Christ,

¹⁵ For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but who was tempted in all things in the same way, without sin.

⁵ So also Christ did not glorify himself to become a high priest, but it was he who said to him, Thou are my Son, today I have begotten thee. ⁶ (And just as he says in another, Thou are a priest into the age according to the order of Melchizedek.)

¹ For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, having met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, also blessed him.

¹¹ If indeed therefore perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people had received the law), what further need is there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be designated according to the order of Aaron? ¹² For the priesthood being changed, of necessity a change of law also occurs. ¹³ For he of whom these things are spoken pertains to another tribe, from which no man has attended to the altar. ¹⁴ For it is evident that our Lord arose out of Judah, regarding which tribe Moses spoke nothing about the priesthood. ¹⁵ And it is still far more evident, if according to the likeness of Melchizedek, there arises another priest, ¹⁶ who has become, not according to a law of a carnal commandment, but according to the power of an indestructible life. ¹⁷ For he testifies, Thou are a priest into the age according to the order of Melchizedek. ¹⁸ For indeed there becomes an annulment of a preceding commandment because of its weakness and uselessness ¹⁹ (for the law made nothing fully perfect), and an introduction of a better hope, through which we approach God. ²⁰ And inasmuch as it is not without an oath. For actually those who become priests are so without an oath, ²¹ but he with an oath, because of him who says to him, The Lord swore and will not change his mind, Thou are a priest into the age according to the order of Melchizedek. ²² By so much, Jesus has become the surety of a better covenant. ²³ And of course those who have become priests are more, because of being prevented to continue by death, ²⁴ but he, because of his remaining into the age, has the priesthood unchangeable. ²⁵ Whereupon he is able also to save to the uttermost those who come to God through him, being always alive in order to intercede on their behalf. ²⁶ For such a high priest is fitting for us, devout, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and having become higher than the heavens. ²⁷ Who has no need to offer up sacrifices each day, as those high priests, first for his own sins, then for those of the people, for this he did, once, when he offered up himself.

¹ Now a summation about the things being spoken is, we have such a high priest who was seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, ² a minister of the holy things, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord erected and not man.

¹ Now indeed therefore the first had ordinances of divine service and the earthly sanctuary. ² For a tabernacle was prepared, the first in which was also the lampstand, and the table, and the presentation of the loaves, which is called the Holy place. ³ And behind the second curtain, the tabernacle called the Holy of holies, ⁴ having a golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid entirely in gold, in which was a golden pot holding the manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant. ⁵ And above it were cherubim of glory overshadowing the place of forgiveness, about which things it is not now to speak in detail. ⁶ And these things thus having been prepared, the priests indeed enter into the first part of the tabernacle continually, accomplishing the services. ⁷ But into the second part, the high priest alone, once a year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the unintentional sins of the people, ⁸ this signifying from the Holy Spirit, the way into the holy things is not yet to be made known while the first tabernacle still remains. ⁹ Which is a figure for the present time, according to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered that are not able to make the man officiating fully perfect in respect to conscience,

²³ Indeed therefore, a necessity was for the models of the things in the heavens themselves to be cleansed with these, but the heavenly things with better sacrifices than these. ²⁴ For the Christ entered not into a holy place made with hands, representative of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.

¹ For the law having a shadow of the good things that are coming, not the same substance of the events, with the same sacrifices that are offered continually each year, they are never able to fully perfect those who are approaching.

² By this ye know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses Jesus Christ having come in flesh is of God, ³ and every spirit that does not confess Jesus Christ has come in flesh is not of God. And this is that of the antichrist, which ye have heard that it comes, and is now in the world already.

²⁰ And we know that the Son of God comes, and has given us understanding, so that we may know the true. And we are in the true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and the eternal life.

⁷ Because many deceivers have gone forth into the world, those not acknowledging Jesus Christ coming in flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.

² Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and the bullock of the sin offering, and the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread,

¹⁵ And he presented the people's oblation. And took the goat of the sin offering which was for the people, and killed it, and offered it for sin, as the first.

⁵ And he shall take from the congregation of the sons of Israel two he-goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering. ⁶ And Aaron shall present the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself, and for his house. ⁷ And he shall take the two goats, and set them before LORD at the door of the tent of meeting. ⁸ And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats, one lot for LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat. ⁹ And Aaron shall present the goat upon which the lot fell for LORD, and offer him for a sin offering. ¹⁰ But the goat, on which the lot fell for the scapegoat, shall be set alive before LORD, to make atonement for him, to send him away for the scapegoat into the wilderness.

²⁴ Seventy weeks are decreed upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy.

⁹ For, behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua. Upon one stone are seven eyes. Behold, I will engrave the graving of it, says LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.

²⁹ But whoever may blaspheme against the Holy Spirit has no forgiveness, into the age, but is deserving of eternal damnation,

²⁸ Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit placed you guardians, to tend the church of the Lord and God, which he purchased by his own blood.

¹³ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, Cursed is every man who hangs on a tree. ¹⁴ So that the blessing of Abraham might occur for the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through the faith.

⁷ In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of transgressions, according to the wealth of his grace,

¹⁴ in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins,

¹⁰ and to await his Son from the heavens whom he raised from the dead-Jesus-who rescues us from the coming wrath.

¹⁴ who gave himself for us, so that he might redeem us from all lawlessness, and purify to himself a special people, a zealot of good works.

³ Who, being the radiance of his glory, and the exact image of his essence, and upholding all things by the word of his power, having made purification of our sins through himself, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in the heights.

⁹ And having been fully perfected, he became the source of eternal salvation to all those who obey him,

⁷ But into the second part, the high priest alone, once a year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the unintentional sins of the people,

¹³ For if the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling those who were defiled, sanctifies for the purification of the flesh,

¹⁵ And because of this he is mediator of a new covenant, so that a death having occurred for the redemption of the transgressions against the first covenant, those who are called might take the promise of the eternal inheritance.

²⁴ For the Christ entered not into a holy place made with hands, representative of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us. ²⁵ And not so that he might offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the Holy things each year with blood by another, ²⁶ since it would be necessary for him to suffer often, from the foundation of the world. But now once, at the end of the ages, he was made known for an annulment of sin by the sacrifice of himself.

²⁸ so also the Christ, having been offered once in order to take up the sins of many, will appear a second time, independent of sin, to those waiting for him for salvation.

⁴ For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

⁹ Then he said, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He takes away the first, so that he may establish the second. ¹⁰ By which will we are sanctified through the one time offering of the body of Jesus Christ. ¹¹ And indeed every priest stands daily serving and offering the same sacrifices often, which can never take away sins. ¹² But this man, having offered one sacrifice on behalf of sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, ¹³ waiting henceforth until his enemies are placed a footstool of his feet. ¹⁴ For by one offering he has fully perfected forever those being sanctified.

¹⁹ Having therefore, brothers, boldness for entrance into the holy things by the blood of Jesus,

¹⁸ Knowing that ye were redeemed from your vain behavior inherited from fathers, not with perishable silver or gold, ¹⁹ but by precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and unspotted-of Christ,

⁵ and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and washed us from our sins by his blood

⁹ And they sing a new song, saying, Thou are worthy to take the book and to open the seals of it, because thou were killed and purchased us from God by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation.

¹⁴ And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy-seat on the east. And he shall sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times before the mercy-seat. ¹⁵ Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with his blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy-seat, and before the mercy-seat. ¹⁶ And he shall make atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleannesses of the sons of Israel, and because of their transgressions, even all their sins. And so he shall do for the tent of meeting that dwells with them in the midst of their uncleannesses.

⁷ And thus thou shall do to them to cleanse them: sprinkle the water of expiation upon them, and let them cause a razor to pass over all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves.

² This is the statute of the law which LORD has commanded, saying, Speak to the sons of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, in which is no blemish, and upon which a yoke never came. ³ And ye shall give her to Eleazar the priest, and he shall bring her forth outside the camp, and she shall be killed before his face. ⁴ And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle her blood toward the front of the tent of meeting seven times. ⁵ And the heifer shall be burned in his sight: her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, he shall burn. ⁶ And the priest shall take cedar-wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.

¹⁹ who sets his heart to seek God, LORD, the God of his fathers, though he be not according to the purification of the sanctuary.

⁷ Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean. Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

⁹ And he made not one distinction between both us and them, having purified their hearts by faith.

²² men who have purified your souls in obedience of the truth through the Spirit for non-hypocritical brotherly love. Ye should love each other fervently from a pure heart,

²⁰ But whatever has a blemish, that ye shall not offer, for it shall not be acceptable for you.

⁹ And on the sabbath day two he-lambs a year old without blemish, and two tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering, mingled with oil, and the drink offering of it.

¹¹ And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt offering to LORD: two young bullocks, and one ram, seven he-lambs a year old without blemish,

²⁶ For who is there of all flesh, who has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?

²¹ And if it has any blemish, as lame or blind, any ill blemish whatever, thou shall not sacrifice it to LORD thy God.

¹ Thou shall not sacrifice to LORD thy God an ox, or a sheep, in which is a blemish or anything bad, for that is an abomination to LORD thy God.

²⁷ For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck. Behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against LORD, and how much more after my death?

²⁷ The eternal God is thy dwelling-place, and underneath are the everlasting arms. And he thrust out the enemy from before thee, and said, Destroy.

²⁶ And David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man who kills this Philistine, and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God?

¹¹ How much more, when evil men have slain a righteous man in his own house upon his bed, shall I not now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?

¹⁶ Incline thine ear, O LORD, and hear. Open thine eyes, O LORD, and see. And hear the words of Sennacherib, with which he has sent for him to defy the living God.

¹⁶ How much less one who is abominable and corrupt, a man who drinks iniquity like water!

¹ Behold, my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights. I have put my Spirit upon him, he will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.

⁹ And they made his grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in his death. Although he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth.

¹⁵ For thus says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, also with him who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.

¹ The Spirit of the lord LORD is upon me, because LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, and the opening of bonds to those who are bound,

¹⁰ But LORD is the true God. He is the living God, and an everlasting King. At his wrath the earth trembles, and the nations are not able to abide his indignation.

²⁶ I make a decree, that in all the dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel, for he is the living God, and steadfast forever. And his kingdom is that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even to the end.

²⁴ Seventy weeks are decreed upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy. ²⁵ Know therefore and discern, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem to the anointed one, the Prince, shall be seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks. It shall be built again, with street and moat, even in troublesome times. ²⁶ And after the sixty-two weeks the anointed one shall be cut off, and shall have nothing. And the people of the prince who shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary, and the end of it shall be with a flood. And even to the end shall be war; desolations are determined.

¹¹ If ye therefore, being evil, know to give good gifts to your children, how much more your Father in the heavens will give good things to those who ask him?

²⁸ But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come near you.

²⁸ Just as the Son of man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.

⁷⁴ without fear from the hand of our enemies, having been saved to serve him

¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to sent forth in deliverance those who have been broken,

²⁴ Consider the ravens, because they do not sow, nor do they reap, for which there is no storehouse nor barn, and God feeds them. How much ye are worth more than the birds.

²⁸ And if God so clothes the grass in the field, which today is, and tomorrow being cast into the oven, how much more you, O ye of little faith?

³⁴ For he whom God sent speaks the sayings of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure.

² until a day in which he was taken up, having commanded, through the Holy Spirit, the apostles whom he chose,

³⁸ Jesus of Nazareth-how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who passed through doing good, and healing all those who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with him.

¹⁵ and saying, Men, why are ye doing these things? We also are men of like nature with you, proclaiming good news to you, to turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all the things in them,

⁴ He who was designated Son of God in power, according to a spirit of holiness, from a resurrection of the dead-Jesus Christ our Lord-

²⁰ For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things made, both his eternal power and divinity, for them to be without excuse.

¹³ And do not present your body-parts as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God, as living out of the dead, and your body-parts as instruments of righteousness to God,

²² But now having been made free from sin, and having become servile to God, ye have your fruit for sanctification, and the end, eternal life.

¹² Now if their transgression is wealth of the world, and their failure is wealth of Gentiles, how much more their fullness?

²⁴ For if thou were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural ones, be grafted into their own olive tree.

²¹ For the man who knew no sin was made sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

¹⁶ And what mutual agreement has a temple of God with idols? For ye are a temple of the living God, just as God said, I will dwell in them, and will walk among them. And I will be their God, and they will be a people to me.

¹⁹ For I, through law, died to law, so that I might live to God.

⁵ even us being dead in the transgressions, he made alive together with the Christ (ye are saved by grace),

² And walk in love, as also the Christ loved us, and delivered himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a fragrant aroma.

⁹ For they report about us what kind of entrance we had with you, and how ye turned to God from the idols to serve a living and true God,

¹⁷ Now to the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, alone wise, to God is honor and glory into the ages of the ages. Truly.

¹⁵ but if I delay, that thou may know how it is necessary to live in a house of God, which is a congregation of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.

¹ Therefore having left the word of the primacy of Christ, let us be brought forward to perfection, not again laying a foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

⁹ Which is a figure for the present time, according to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered that are not able to make the man officiating fully perfect in respect to conscience,

¹² and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, he entered in once into the Holy things, having found eternal redemption.

² Otherwise would they not have ceased being offered, because of those who worship, once having been cleansed, to have no further conscience of sins?

²¹ By faith Jacob, while dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and bowed in worship upon the top of his staff.

¹⁹ but by precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and unspotted-of Christ,

²² Who did no sin, nor was deceit found in his mouth.

²⁴ Who himself took up our sins in his body upon the tree, so that we, having died to sins, might live to the righteousness of him from whose wound ye were healed.

¹⁸ Because Christ also once suffered for sins, a righteous man for unrighteous men, so that he might bring you to God. Having indeed been killed in flesh, but made alive in spirit,

² in order to live the remaining time in flesh, no longer by lusts of men, but by the will of God.

⁷ But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from every sin.

⁵ And ye know that that man was made known so that he might take up our sins. And in him is no sin.

¹⁸ LORD knows the days of the perfect, and their inheritance shall be forever.

¹⁰ Yet it pleased LORD to bruise him. He has put him to grief. When thou shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed. He shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of LORD shall prosper in his hand. ¹¹ He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied. By the knowledge of himself shall my righteous servant justify many, and he shall bear their iniquities. ¹² Therefore I will divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death, and was numbered with the transgressors. Yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

²⁶ And after the sixty-two weeks the anointed one shall be cut off, and shall have nothing. And the people of the prince who shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary, and the end of it shall be with a flood. And even to the end shall be war; desolations are determined.

²⁹ And every man who has forsaken houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, because of my name, will receive a hundredfold, and will inherit eternal life.

³⁴ Then the King will say to those at his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

³⁶ naked, and ye clothed me. I was feeble, and ye came to help me. I was in prison, and ye came to me.

¹⁷ And as he was going forth on the way, one man having ran to him, and having knelt to him, questioned him, Good teacher, what should I do that I may inherit eternal life?

¹⁸ And a certain ruler questioned him, saying, Good teacher, having done what, will I inherit eternal life?

²⁸ And I give them eternal life, and they will, no, not perish into the age, and not any will snatch them out of my hand.

²⁴ being made righteous freely by his grace, through the redemption in Christ Jesus, ²⁵ whom God set forth an expiatory sacrifice through faith in his blood, for proof of his justice, because of the passing over of the sins that have formerly occurred ²⁶ (in the forbearance of God), for proof of his justice at the present time, for him to be righteous, and who makes the man from Jesus' faith righteous.

⁶ For while we were yet weak, in due time Christ died for the impious.

⁸ But God commends his love toward us, that, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

¹⁰ For if, while being enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more having been reconciled we will be saved by his life.

²³ For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

²⁸ And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, who are the called according to purpose.

³⁰ And whom he predestined, these he also called, and whom he called, these he also made righteous, and whom he made righteous, these he also glorified.

²⁴ namely us whom he called, not only from Jews but also from Gentiles.

⁶ who also made us qualified helpers of a new covenant, not of a document, but of a Spirit, for the document kills but the Spirit makes alive.

¹⁴ for which he called you, through our good news, for an acquired possession of glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁵ For there is one God, and one mediator of God and men, the man Jesus Christ,

¹⁰ Because of this I endure all things because of the chosen, so that they also may experience salvation in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.

² in hope of eternal life, which the non-lying God promised before times eternal,

⁷ So that, having been made righteous by the grace of that man, we may become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

¹⁴ Since therefore the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise shared the same things, so that through death he might make him who has the power of death impotent, that is, the devil.

¹³ For God who promised to Abraham, since he had none greater to swear by, swore by himself,

²² By so much, Jesus has become the surety of a better covenant.

⁶ But now he has obtained a superior ministry, by so much as he is also the mediator of a superior covenant, which has been enacted upon superior promises. ⁷ For if that first one was faultless, no place would have been sought for a second. ⁸ For, finding fault with them, he says, Behold, the days come, says the Lord, and I will perfect a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.

¹³ In saying, New, he has made the first old. And what is becoming old and obsolete is near disappearance.

¹⁶ For where a covenant is, a necessity is to present the death of the man who made the covenant.

³⁶ For ye have need of perseverance, so that, having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise.

¹³ All these died in faith, not having taken the promises, but who saw and greeted them from afar, and who confessed that they were foreigners and sojourners on the earth.

²⁴ and to Jesus a mediator of a new covenant, and to blood of sprinkling that speaks better than Abel.

²⁰ Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep by the blood of an eternal covenant-our Lord Jesus-

¹² Blessed is a man who endures temptation, because, having become approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.

³ Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who begot us again according to his abundant mercy for a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, ⁴ for an inheritance imperishable, and undefiled, and unfading, reserved in heavens for you,

¹⁰ And may the God of all grace who called you to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus (after suffering a little while) himself thoroughly prepare you. He will establish, strengthen, and provide a foundation.

²⁵ And this is the promise that he promised us: the eternal life.

³ And they sing a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders. And none could learn the song except the hundred and forty-four thousand, those who have been redeemed from the earth. ⁴ These are men who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were purchased by Jesus, out of men, a first fruit to God and to the Lamb.

²¹ And Israel said to Joseph, Behold, I die, but God will be with you, and bring you again to the land of your fathers.

²⁷ Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you, not as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be cowardly.

¹⁵ Brothers (I speak according to a man), in the same way of a man, no man annuls or adds to a contract that has been ratified.

²² And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side-posts with the blood that is in the basin, and none of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning.

³ And Moses came and told the people all the words of LORD, and all the ordinances. And all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which LORD has spoken will we do. ⁴ And Moses wrote all the words of LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar below the mount, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel. ⁵ And he sent young men of the sons of Israel, who offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen to LORD. ⁶ And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. ⁷ And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people. And they said, All that LORD has spoken will we do, and be obedient. ⁸ And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant that LORD has made with you concerning all these words.

⁷ For if that first one was faultless, no place would have been sought for a second. ⁸ For, finding fault with them, he says, Behold, the days come, says the Lord, and I will perfect a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. ⁹ Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by my hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt. Because they did not continue in my covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord.

¹⁴ how much more the blood of Christ, who, through the eternal Spirit, offered himself unblemished to God, will cleanse your conscience from dead works in order to serve a living God?

²² And almost all things, according to the law, are cleansed with blood, and remission does not occur without bloodshed.

⁵ And he sent young men of the sons of Israel, who offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen to LORD. ⁶ And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. ⁷ And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people. And they said, All that LORD has spoken will we do, and be obedient. ⁸ And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant that LORD has made with you concerning all these words. ⁹ Then Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up. ¹⁰ And they saw the God of Israel. And there was under his feet as it were a paved work of sapphire stone, and as it were the very heaven for clearness. ¹¹ And he laid not his hand upon the nobles of the sons of Israel. And they beheld God, and ate and drank.

² Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them, When any man of you offers an oblation to LORD, ye shall offer your oblation of the cattle, even of the herd and of the flock. ³ If his oblation be a burnt offering of the herd, he shall offer it a male without blemish. He shall offer it at the door of the tent of meeting, that he may be accepted before LORD.

¹⁰ And if his oblation be of the flock, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt offering, he shall offer it a male without blemish.

⁶ And if his oblation for a sacrifice of peace offerings to LORD be of the flock, male or female, he shall offer it without blemish.

⁴ then the priest shall command to take two living clean birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop for him who is to be cleansed. ⁵ And the priest shall command to kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water. ⁶ As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water. ⁷ And he shall sprinkle seven times upon him who is to be cleansed from the leprous disease, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird go into the open field.

⁴⁹ And he shall take two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop to cleanse the house. ⁵⁰ And he shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water. ⁵¹ And he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times. ⁵² And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet,

¹⁴ And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy-seat on the east. And he shall sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times before the mercy-seat. ¹⁵ Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with his blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy-seat, and before the mercy-seat. ¹⁶ And he shall make atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleannesses of the sons of Israel, and because of their transgressions, even all their sins. And so he shall do for the tent of meeting that dwells with them in the midst of their uncleannesses. ¹⁷ And there shall be no man in the tent of meeting when he goes in to make atonement in the holy place until he comes out, and has made atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the assembly of Israel. ¹⁸ And he shall go out to the altar that is before LORD, and make atonement for it. And shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about.

⁶ And the priest shall take cedar-wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.

¹⁸ And a clean man shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the souls who were there, and upon him who touched the bone, or the slain, or the dead, or the grave.

¹⁵ so shall he sprinkle many nations. Kings shall shut their mouths at him. For that which had not been told them they shall see, and that which they had not heard they shall understand.

²⁵ And I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean. I will cleanse you from all your filthiness, and from all your idols.

²⁸ And having stripped him, they put a scarlet robe on him.

¹⁷ And they put purple clothing on him, and clothe him with a woven crown of thorns,

²⁰ And when they had mocked him, they took the purple garment off of him, and dressed him with his own garments. And they lead him out so that they might crucify him.

² And the soldiers having woven a crown of thorns, they put it on his head, and put around him a purple garment.

⁵ Jesus therefore came outside, wearing the thorny crown and the purple robe. And he says to them, Look at the man!

² chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of Spirit, for obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you, and peace be multiplied.

⁸ And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant that LORD has made with you concerning all these words.

¹² that thou may enter into the covenant of LORD thy God, and into his oath, which LORD thy God makes with thee this day,

⁶ And they went to Joshua to the camp at Gilgal, and said to him, and to the men of Israel, We have come from a far country, now therefore make ye a covenant with us.

¹¹ As for thee also, because of the blood of thy covenant I have set free thy prisoners from the pit in which is no water.

²⁸ for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed on behalf of many for remission of sins.

¹² And thou shall take of the blood of the bullock, and put it upon the horns of the altar with thy finger, and thou shall pour out all the blood at the base of the altar.

²⁰ Then thou shall kill the ram, and take of its blood, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and upon the tip of the right ear of his sons, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.

³⁶ And every day thou shall offer the bullock of sin offering for atonement. And thou shall cleanse the altar when thou make atonement for it, and thou shall anoint it, to sanctify it.

¹⁵ and he killed it. And Moses took the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured out the blood at the base of the altar, and sanctified it, to make atonement for it.

¹⁹ and he killed it. And Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.

⁸ So Aaron drew near to the altar, and killed the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself. ⁹ And the sons of Aaron presented the blood to him, and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the base of the altar,

¹⁸ He also killed the ox and the ram, the sacrifice of peace offerings, which was for the people. And Aaron's sons delivered to him the blood, which he sprinkled upon the altar round about,

¹⁴ And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy-seat on the east. And he shall sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times before the mercy-seat. ¹⁵ Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with his blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy-seat, and before the mercy-seat. ¹⁶ And he shall make atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleannesses of the sons of Israel, and because of their transgressions, even all their sins. And so he shall do for the tent of meeting that dwells with them in the midst of their uncleannesses. ¹⁷ And there shall be no man in the tent of meeting when he goes in to make atonement in the holy place until he comes out, and has made atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the assembly of Israel. ¹⁸ And he shall go out to the altar that is before LORD, and make atonement for it. And shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about. ¹⁹ And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleannesses of the sons of Israel.

¹⁹ Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign cast away when he trespassed, we have prepared and sanctified. And, behold, they are before the altar of LORD. ²⁰ Then Hezekiah the king arose early, and gathered the rulers of the city, and went up to the house of LORD. ²¹ And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he-goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom and for the sanctuary and for Judah. And he commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the altar of LORD. ²² So they killed the bullocks. And the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar. And they killed the rams, and sprinkled the blood upon the altar. They also killed the lambs, and sprinkled the blood upon the altar.

¹⁸ And he said to me, Son of man, thus says the lord LORD: These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt offerings on it, and to sprinkle blood on it. ¹⁹ Thou shall give to the priests the Levites who are of the seed of Zadok, who are near to me, to minister to me, says the lord LORD, a young bullock for a sin offering. ²⁰ And thou shall take of the blood of it, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the ledge, and upon the border round about. Thus thou shall cleanse it and make atonement for it. ²¹ Thou shall also take the bullock of the sin offering, and it shall be burnt in the appointed place of the house, outside the sanctuary. ²² And on the second day thou shall offer a he-goat without blemish for a sin offering. And they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed it with the bullock. ²³ When thou have made an end of cleansing it, thou shall offer a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish. ²⁴ And thou shall bring them near before LORD, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering to LORD. ²⁵ Seven days thou shall prepare each day a goat for a sin offering. They shall also prepare a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish. ²⁶ Seven days they shall make atonement for the altar and purify it. So they shall consecrate it.

²⁰ Thus he shall do with the bullock, as he did with the bullock of the sin offering, so he shall do with this. And the priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven.

²⁶ And all the fat of it he shall burn upon the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings. And the priest shall make atonement for him as concerning his sin, and he shall be forgiven.

³⁵ And all the fat of it he shall take away, as the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of peace offerings, and the priest shall burn them on the altar, upon the offerings of LORD made by fire. And the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin that he has sinned, and he shall be forgiven.

¹⁰ And he shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the ordinance. And the priest shall make atonement for him as concerning his sin which he has sinned, and he shall be forgiven.

¹² And he shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it as the memorial of it, and burn it on the altar, upon the offerings of LORD made by fire. It is a sin offering.

⁷ And the priest shall make atonement for him before LORD, and he shall be forgiven concerning whatever he does so as to be guilty by it.

⁶ As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water.

¹⁴ And the priest shall take of the blood of the trespass offering, and the priest shall put it upon the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.

²⁵ And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering. And the priest shall take of the blood of the trespass offering, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.

¹¹ For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that makes atonement by reason of the life.

²⁶ Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory?

⁴⁶ And he said to them, Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day,

³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will take you along to myself, so that where I am, ye may be also.

¹⁷ which are a shadow of the things coming, but the body is Christ's.

⁵ who serve for an example and shadow of the heavenly things. Just as Moses who was divinely warned while going to complete the tabernacle, for he says, See thou make all things according to the pattern that was shown thee on the mountain.

⁹ Which is a figure for the present time, according to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered that are not able to make the man officiating fully perfect in respect to conscience, ¹⁰ only in foods and drinks and various washings: carnal ordinances imposed until a time of reformation. ¹¹ But Christ, having arrived a high priest of the good things that are coming, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation, ¹² and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, he entered in once into the Holy things, having found eternal redemption.

¹⁰ By which will we are sanctified through the one time offering of the body of Jesus Christ. ¹¹ And indeed every priest stands daily serving and offering the same sacrifices often, which can never take away sins. ¹² But this man, having offered one sacrifice on behalf of sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, ¹³ waiting henceforth until his enemies are placed a footstool of his feet. ¹⁴ For by one offering he has fully perfected forever those being sanctified. ¹⁵ And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us, after indeed foretelling, ¹⁶ This is the covenant that I will ordain with them after those days, says the Lord, giving my laws on their hearts, and on their minds I will write them, ¹⁷ and, Their sins and their lawlessness I will, no, not further remember.

¹⁹ but by precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and unspotted-of Christ, ²⁰ who was indeed foreknown before the foundation of the world, but was manifested in the last times because of you: ²¹ men who, because of him, believe in God who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory, in order for your faith and hope to be in God;

¹² And thou shall put the two stones upon the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the sons of Israel. And Aaron shall bear their names before LORD upon his two shoulders for a memorial.

²⁹ And Aaron shall bear the names of the sons of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goes in to the holy place, for a memorial before LORD continually.

¹⁸ Thou have ascended on high. Thou have led captivity captive. Thou have received gifts among men, yea, among the rebellious also, that LORD God might dwell with them.

¹ And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the agent of LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary.

¹⁹ Therefore indeed, the Lord, after he spoke to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

⁵¹ And it came to pass while he blessed them, he parted from them, and was brought up into heaven.

¹⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. ²⁰ The Jews therefore said, This temple was forty-six years being built, and will thou raise it up in three days? ²¹ But that man spoke about the temple of his body.

⁶² Then if ye should see the Son of man ascending where he was before?

²⁸ I came forth from the Father, and have come into the world. Again I leave the world, and go to the Father.

⁹ And having said these things, as they were watching, he was taken up, and a cloud received him from their eyes. ¹⁰ And while they were gazing at his going into the sky, behold, two men had also stood by them in white apparel, ¹¹ who also said, Men, Galileans, why stand ye gazing into the sky? This Jesus who was taken up from you into the sky will so come, in that same way as ye saw him going into the sky.

²¹ whom heaven must indeed receive until the times of restoration of all things, of which God spoke through the mouth of all his holy prophets from the age.

³³ Who will accuse against the chosen of God? God is he who makes righteous.

²⁰ which he wrought in the Christ, having raised him from the dead and seated at his right hand in the heavenly things, ²¹ far above every principle office, and position of authority, and power, and lordship, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is coming. ²² And he subordinated all things under his feet, and appointed him head over all things for the church,

⁸ Therefore he says, Having ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men. ⁹ And what is the ascended, except that he also first descended into the lower parts of the earth? ¹⁰ He who descended is also the same man who ascended high above all the heavens, so that he might fill all things. ¹¹ And indeed he gave the apostles, and the prophets, and the evangelists, and the shepherds and teachers

² Think on the things above, not the things on the earth.

²⁰ where the forerunner, Jesus, entered for us, having become a high priest into the age according to the order of Melchizedek.

²⁵ Whereupon he is able also to save to the uttermost those who come to God through him, being always alive in order to intercede on their behalf. ²⁶ For such a high priest is fitting for us, devout, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and having become higher than the heavens.

²³ Indeed therefore, a necessity was for the models of the things in the heavens themselves to be cleansed with these, but the heavenly things with better sacrifices than these.

² Looking to Jesus the pathfinder and perfecter of the faith, who, against the joy set before him, endured a cross, having despised the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

²² who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, agents, and positions of authority, and powers having been subordinated to him.

¹ My little children, I write these things to you so that ye may not sin. And if any man does sin, we have an advocate with the Father-righteous Jesus Christ. ² And he is the atonement for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.

² and LORD said to Moses, Speak to Aaron thy brother, that he not come at all times into the holy place within the veil, before the mercy-seat which is upon the ark, that he not die, for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy-seat. ³ Aaron shall come into the holy place this way: with a young bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering. ⁴ He shall put on the holy linen tunic, and he shall have the linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with the linen sash, and he shall be attired with the linen miter. They are the holy garments, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and put them on. ⁵ And he shall take from the congregation of the sons of Israel two he-goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering. ⁶ And Aaron shall present the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself, and for his house. ⁷ And he shall take the two goats, and set them before LORD at the door of the tent of meeting. ⁸ And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats, one lot for LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat. ⁹ And Aaron shall present the goat upon which the lot fell for LORD, and offer him for a sin offering. ¹⁰ But the goat, on which the lot fell for the scapegoat, shall be set alive before LORD, to make atonement for him, to send him away for the scapegoat into the wilderness. ¹¹ And Aaron shall present the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin offering which is for himself. ¹² And he shall take a censer full of coals of fire from off the altar before LORD, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the veil. ¹³ And he shall put the incense upon the fire before LORD, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy-seat that is upon the testimony, that he not die. ¹⁴ And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy-seat on the east. And he shall sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times before the mercy-seat. ¹⁵ Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with his blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy-seat, and before the mercy-seat. ¹⁶ And he shall make atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleannesses of the sons of Israel, and because of their transgressions, even all their sins. And so he shall do for the tent of meeting that dwells with them in the midst of their uncleannesses. ¹⁷ And there shall be no man in the tent of meeting when he goes in to make atonement in the holy place until he comes out, and has made atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the assembly of Israel. ¹⁸ And he shall go out to the altar that is before LORD, and make atonement for it. And shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about. ¹⁹ And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleannesses of the sons of Israel. ²⁰ And when he has made an end of atoning for the holy place, and the tent of meeting, and the altar, he shall present the live goat. ²¹ And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the sons of Israel, and all their transgressions, even all their sins. And he shall put them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a man who is in readiness into the wilderness. ²² And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities to a solitary land. And he shall let the goat go in the wilderness. ²³ And Aaron shall come into the tent of meeting, and shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy place, and shall leave them there. ²⁴ And he shall bathe his flesh in water in a holy place, and put on his garments, and come forth, and offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people, and make atonement for himself and for the people. ²⁵ And he shall burn upon the altar the fat of the sin offering. ²⁶ And he who lets the goat go for the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp. ²⁷ And the bullock of the sin offering, and the goat of the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, shall be carried forth outside the camp, and they shall burn in the fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung. ²⁸ And he who burns them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp. ²⁹ And it shall be a statute forever to you. In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and shall do no manner of work, the home-born, or the stranger who sojourns among you. ³⁰ For on this day atonement shall be made for you, to cleanse you. Ye shall be clean from all your sins before LORD. ³¹ It is a sabbath of solemn rest to you, and ye shall afflict your souls. It is a statute forever. ³² And the priest, who shall be anointed and who shall be consecrated to be priest in his father's stead, shall make the atonement. And he shall put on the linen garments, even the holy garments, ³³ and shall make atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make atonement for the tent of meeting and for the altar, and he shall make atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly. ³⁴ And this shall be an everlasting statute to you, to make atonement for the sons of Israel because of all their sins once in the year. And he did as LORD commanded Moses.

²⁶ since it would be necessary for him to suffer often, from the foundation of the world. But now once, at the end of the ages, he was made known for an annulment of sin by the sacrifice of himself.

¹⁰ By which will we are sanctified through the one time offering of the body of Jesus Christ.

²¹ And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the sons of Israel, and all their transgressions, even all their sins. And he shall put them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a man who is in readiness into the wilderness. ²² And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities to a solitary land. And he shall let the goat go in the wilderness.

¹³ And David said to Nathan, I have sinned against LORD. And Nathan said to David, LORD also has put away thy sin; thou shall not die.

¹⁰ And David's heart smote him after he had numbered the people. And David said to LORD, I have sinned greatly in that which I have done, but now, O LORD, put away, I beseech thee, the iniquity of thy servant, for I have done very foolishly.

²¹ And why do thou not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? For now I shall lie down in the dust, and thou will seek me diligently, but I shall not be.

² And it shall come to pass in the latter days, that the mountain of LORD's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills, and all nations shall flow to it.

¹⁴ I have come now to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days, for the vision is yet for many days.

¹ But in the latter days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of LORD's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills, and peoples shall flow to it.

²⁹ On the morrow John sees Jesus coming to him, and he says, Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

²⁴ Father, whom thou gave to me, I desire that where I am, they also may be with me, so that they may see my glory that thou have given me, because thou loved me before the foundation of the world.

¹¹ Now all these things happened to those men for examples, and they were written for our admonition, to whom the ends of the ages came.

¹ But I say the heir, for as long a time as he is a child, differs nothing from a bondman though he is lord of all.

² whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the ages.

³ For those who believe enter into that rest, just as he said, So I swore in my wrath, They will not enter into my rest, although the works occurred from the foundation of the world.

¹² But this man, having offered one sacrifice on behalf of sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God,

²⁶ For when we sin willfully after taking the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins,

²⁰ who was indeed foreknown before the foundation of the world, but was manifested in the last times because of you:

⁸ And all who dwell upon the earth will worship it, whose name has not been written in the book of life of the Lamb who was killed from the foundation of the world.

⁸ The beast that thou saw was, and is not, and is going to ascend out of the abyss and go into destruction. And those who dwell on the earth will wonder, whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was, and is not, and will come.

¹⁹ In the sweat of thy face thou shall eat bread, till thou return to the ground, for out of it thou were taken. For thou are dust, and to dust thou shall return.

¹⁴ For we must die, and are as water split on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again, neither does God take away life, but devises means that he who is banished be not an outcast from him.

⁵ Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months is with thee, and thou have appointed his bounds that he cannot pass,

²⁵ But as for me I know that my Redeemer lives, and at last he will stand up upon the earth.

²³ For I know that thou will bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.

⁴⁸ What man is he who shall live and not see death, who shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah.

²⁰ All go to one place. All are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.

⁵ For the living know that they shall die, but the dead know not anything, nor have they any more a reward, for the memory of them is forgotten.

¹⁰ Whatever thy hand finds to do, do with thy might, for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, where thou go.

⁹ Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth, and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thy heart, and in the sight of thine eyes. But know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.

⁷ and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

¹⁴ For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether good or evil.

³¹ But when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the holy agents with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. ³² And all the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate them from each other, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. ³³ And he will truly place the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at the left. ³⁴ Then the King will say to those at his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. ³⁵ For I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat. I was thirsty, and ye gave me to drink. I was a stranger, and ye took me in, ³⁶ naked, and ye clothed me. I was feeble, and ye came to help me. I was in prison, and ye came to me. ³⁷ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungering, and fed thee, or thirsting, and gave thee drink? ³⁸ And when did we see thee a stranger, and took thee in, or naked, and clothed thee? ³⁹ And when did we see thee weak, or in prison, and came to thee? ⁴⁰ And having answered, the King will say to them, Truly I say to you, inasmuch as ye did it to one of these my brothers, the least, ye did it to me. ⁴¹ Then he will also say to those at the left hand, Depart from me, ye accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his agents. ⁴² For I was hungry, and ye did not give me to eat, I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink, ⁴³ I was a stranger, and ye did not take me in, naked, and ye did not clothe me, weak, and in prison, and ye did not come to help me. ⁴⁴ Then they will also answer, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or weak, or in prison, and did not serve thee? ⁴⁵ Then he will answer them, saying, Truly I say to you, inasmuch as ye did it not to one of these least, ye did it not to me. ⁴⁶ And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.

²⁶ For as the Father has life in himself, so also he gave to the Son to have life in himself. ²⁷ And he also gave him authority to execute judgment because he is a son of man. ²⁸ Marvel not at this, because an hour comes in which all those in the sepulchers will hear his voice, ²⁹ and will come forth, those who have done right to a resurrection of life, and those who have practiced wrong to a resurrection of judgment.

³¹ Because he appointed a day during which he is going to judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he appointed, having provided assurance to all men because he raised him from the dead.

⁵ But according to thy hardness, and thy impenitent heart, thou store up wrath to thyself in the day of wrath, and revelation, and righteous judgment of God,

¹² Because of this, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, so also death passed to all men, in that all sinned.

⁹ For because of this Christ both died and arose, and he became alive so that he might be Lord over both the dead and the living. ¹⁰ But why do thou criticize thy brother? Or also why do thou disdain thy brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. ¹¹ For it is written, I live, says the Lord, that every knee will bow to me, and every tongue will confess to God. ¹² So then each of us will give account about himself to God.

⁵ Therefore do not judge anything before the time, until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make public the deliberations of the hearts. And then praise will come to each man from God.

¹⁰ For we must all appear before the judgment-seat of the Christ, so that each man may receive back about the things that he did through the body, whether good or bad.

¹ I solemnly testify therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is going to judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom,

¹⁵ to execute judgment against all, and to convict all the irreverent of them about all the works of their own irreverence that they have done irreverently, and about all the harsh things that irreverent sinners spoke against him.

¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and him who sits upon it, from whose face the earth and the sky fled away, and no place was found for them.

¹⁷ Why have ye not eaten the sin offering in the place of the sanctuary, seeing it is most holy, and he has given it to you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before LORD?

¹ And LORD said to Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy fathers' house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary, and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.

²³ But the Levites shall do the service of the tent of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity. It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations. And among the sons of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

⁹ And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God. We have waited for him, and he will save us. This is LORD. We have waited for him. We will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

⁴ Surely he has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows. Yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. ⁵ But he was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace was upon him, and with his stripes we are healed. ⁶ All we like sheep have gone astray. We have turned every one to his own way, and LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

⁵ And ye shall flee by the valley of my mountains, for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azel. Yea, ye shall flee, just as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. And LORD my God shall come, and all the holy ones with thee.

¹¹ who also said, Men, Galileans, why stand ye gazing into the sky? This Jesus who was taken up from you into the sky will so come, in that same way as ye saw him going into the sky.

¹⁵ But in this way also, the gift is not as the transgression. For if by the trespass of the one man the many died, much more the grace of God, and the gift in grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abounded for the many.

¹⁰ For that he died, he died to sin once, but that he lives, he lives to God.

³ For the impotence of the law, in that it was weak because of the flesh, God, having sent his own Son in a form of flesh of sin, and concerning sin, condemned sin in the flesh,

²³ And not only so, but also ourselves who have the first fruit of the Spirit. And we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.

⁷ so that ye come behind in not one gift, waiting for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

⁵⁴ But when this perishable will have put on imperishability, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come to pass the saying that is written, Death was swallowed up in victory.

²⁰ For our citizenship exists in the heavens, from which also we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, ²¹ who will transform the body of our lowliness, in order for it to become similar in form to the body of his glory, according to the working of his power even to subject all things to himself.

¹⁴ For if we believe that Jesus died and arose, so also those who became asleep through Jesus, God will bring with him. ¹⁵ For this we say to you in the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who remain for the coming of the Lord, will no, not precede those who became asleep. ¹⁶ Because the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with a voice of the arch-agent, and with a trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first, ¹⁷ then we who are alive, who remain, will be caught up simultaneously with them in clouds to the Lord's gathering in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord.

⁵ being evidence of the righteous judgment of God, for you to be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which also ye suffer. ⁶ Since it is a righteous thing according to God to repay restriction to those who restrict you, ⁷ and relief with us, to you who are restricted, at the revealing of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his agents of power ⁸ in a fire of flame rendering vengeance to those who have not known God, and to those not obeying the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ Men who will suffer punishment, a penalty of eternal destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might, ¹⁰ when he comes to be glorified in his sanctified, and to be marveled in that day by all those who believe (because our testimony among you was believed).

¹ Now we ask you, brothers, on behalf of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to him,

⁸ Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me in that day, and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.

¹³ Awaiting the blessed hope and appearance of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,

²⁵ And not so that he might offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the Holy things each year with blood by another,

¹² anticipating and hastening the coming of the day of God, by which the heavens, being made fiery hot, will be disintegrated, and the elements dissolve, being intensely hot?

² Beloved, now we are children of God, and it is not yet made known what we will be. But we know that whenever he is made known we will be like him, because we will see him as he is.

⁷ Behold, he comes with the clouds and every eye will see him, even the men who pierced him. And all the tribes of the earth will wail against him. Yea, Truly.
