Hebrews 4 Cross References - Haweis

¹⁷ For we are not as the many, adulterating the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, speak we in Christ.

²³ Now the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your whole spirit, and soul, and body be preserved faultless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

²³ And I will slay her children by death; and all the churches shall know that I am he who searcheth the reins and the hearts: and I will give to you, even to every one, according to your works.

⁴ And I saw thrones, and persons were seated upon them, and authority to judge was given to them: and I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and who had not worshipped the beast, nor his image, and had not received the brand in their foreheads, and upon their right hand; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

²¹ Not every one who saith to me, Lord, Lord! shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven. ²² Many will say unto me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have we not cast out devils? and in thy name done many miracles?

³¹ But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory: ³² and before him shall all the nations be gathered together; and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats:

²⁴ But Jesus himself did not trust himself to them, because he knew them all,

²² For the Father never judgeth any man, but hath committed all judgment to the Son: ²³ in order that all may honour the Son, just as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son, doth not honour the Father who sent him. ²⁴ Verily, verily, I say unto you, That he that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment; but is passed from death into life. ²⁵ Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, yea, it is now, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. ²⁶ For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son also to have life in himself; ²⁷ and hath given him authority also to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man. ²⁸ Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all who are in the graves shall hear his voice, ²⁹ and they shall come forth; they who have done good actions to the resurrection of life; and they who have been guilty of foul practices, to the resurrection of damnation.

¹⁷ He saith to him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said to him, Lord, thou knowest all things, thou knowest that I love thee! Jesus saith to him, Feed my sheep.

³¹ because he hath fixed the day in which he will judge the whole world in righteousness by the man whom he hath appointed; affording evidence of this to all, by raising him from the dead.

¹⁶ in the day when God shall judge the hidden things of men, according to my gospel by Jesus Christ.

⁹ For to this end Christ both died, and rose again, and revived, that he might be the Lord both of the dead and of the living. ¹⁰ But thou, why judgest thou thy brother? And thou, why dost thou disparage thy brother? for we must all appear before the judgment-seat of Christ. ¹¹ For it is written, "As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall make confession to God." ¹² Assuredly then every one of us shall give an account of himself to God.

⁵ Wherefore judge nothing before the time until the Lord come, who also will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will manifest the counsels of men's hearts; and then shall praise be given to each from God.

¹⁰ For we must all appear before the judgment-seat of Christ, that each may receive the things done in the body according to what he hath done, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and one sat upon it, from whose presence fled the earth and the heaven, and no place was found for them. ¹² And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of the things written in the books according to their works. ¹³ And the sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and the grave gave up the dead that were in them; and every one was judged according to his works. ¹⁴ And death and the grave were cast into the lake of fire: this is the second death. ¹⁵ And if any one was not found inscribed on the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

¹ THE beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;

¹⁹ Then the Lord, after having thus spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

⁵¹ And it came to pass, as he pronounced the benediction upon them, he was parted from them, and taken up into heaven.

¹¹ who also said to them, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up to heaven? this Jesus, who hath been taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, in the same manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

²¹ whom the heaven indeed must receive, until the times of restoration of all things, which God hath spoken of by the mouth of all his holy prophets from the beginning of the world.

³⁴ Who is he that condemneth? Christ? He died, yea, rather, also is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

¹⁰ He that descended is the same also, who ascended above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.

² in these last days hath spoken to us by a Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; ³ who being the splendour of his glory, and the very impress of his substance, and upholding all things with his powerful word, by himself having effected the cleansing of our sins, he sat down at the right hand of Majesty on high;

⁸ But to the Son, "Thy throne, O God, is unto eternity; a sceptre of rectitude is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

¹ FOR this reason we ought to attend more diligently to the things which have been heard, lest by any means we let them flow by us.

¹⁷ Wherefore he ought in all things to be made like to his brethren, in order to become a merciful and faithful high-priest in those things which relate to God, to make a propitiation for the sins of the people:

⁵ And Moses indeed was faithful in all that house of his as a servant, to bear testimony of the things which should be after spoken; ⁶ but Christ as a son over his own house: whose house are we, if we hold firmly the confidence and glorying of hope stedfast unto the end.

²⁰ into which the forerunner for us is entered, even Jesus, made after the order of Melchisedec an high-priest for ever.

²⁵ Wherefore also he is able to save to the uttermost those who come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. ²⁶ For such an high-priest was suitable to us, holy, inoffensive, spotless, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens:

¹ NOW the summary of the things spoken is this: we have such an high-priest, who hath taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of Majesty in the heavens;

¹² nor by the blood of goats and of calves, but by his own blood, he entered once for all into the holies, having obtained eternal redemption.

²⁴ For Christ is not entered into the holies made with hands, the antitypes of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear before the presence of God for us:

²³ let us hold fast the profession of hope unwavering, (for he who promises is faithful.)

² earnestly looking up to Jesus the author and the finisher of faith; who, for the joy set before him, endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

¹⁶ And when evening was come, they brought him many possessed by devils: and he cast out the spirits by a word, and all who had illnesses he cured: ¹⁷ that it might be fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet, "Himself he took our infirmities, and bore our diseases."

²⁰ A bruised reed shall he not break down, and smoking flax shall he not quench, until he break forth in judgment for victory.

² being tempted forty days by the devil; and did eat nothing during those days: and when they were ended, afterwards he was hungry.

²⁸ Ye are they who have continued with me during my trials.

⁴⁶ Which of you can convict me of sin? Now if I speak the truth, why do ye not believe me?

²¹ For he hath made him, who knew no sin, to be a sin offering for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

⁷ but emptied himself, assuming the form of a servant, made after the similitude of mortal men; ⁸ and found in fashion as man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, even to the death of the cross.

¹⁷ Wherefore he ought in all things to be made like to his brethren, in order to become a merciful and faithful high-priest in those things which relate to God, to make a propitiation for the sins of the people: ¹⁸ for inasmuch as he hath himself suffered, having been tempted, he is able to succour those who are tempted.

¹⁴ Having then a great high-priest passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast the confession.

² being able to feel tenderly for the ignorant and erroneous; forasmuch as he is himself encompassed with infirmity.

²⁶ For such an high-priest was suitable to us, holy, inoffensive, spotless, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens:

²² who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

⁵ And ye know that he was manifested, that he might take away our sins; and in him there is no sin.

⁷ Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: ⁸ for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. ⁹ What man is there of you, of whom if his son ask a loaf, will he give him a stone? ¹⁰ or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? ¹¹ If ye then, evil as ye are, know how to bestow good gifts on your children; how much more will your Father who is in heaven, bestow good things on those who ask him?

¹⁵ For ye have not received a spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye have received a Spirit of adoption, by which we cry, Abba, Father. ¹⁶ The same spirit beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God. ¹⁷ But if children, then heirs; heirs indeed of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be we suffer with him, that we may also together with him be glorified.

⁸ For this thrice I besought the Lord, that he might depart from me. ⁹ And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may fix its residence in me. ¹⁰ Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then am I strong.

¹⁸ for through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

¹² in whom we have boldness and access with confidence to God by the faith of him.

⁶ Be not anxious about any thing, but in every case by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known unto God. ⁷ And the peace of God which surpasseth all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

¹⁹ For the law led to no perfection, but was an introduction to a better hope, by which we draw nigh unto God.

²⁵ Wherefore also he is able to save to the uttermost those who come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

⁵ and above, over it the cherubim of glory, overshadowing the propitiatory.

¹⁹ Having therefore, brethren, entire liberty of entrance into the holies by the blood of Jesus— ²⁰ a way, which he hath consecrated for us, newly opened, and giving life, through the vail, that is, his flesh; ²¹ and having a great priest over the house of God, ²² let us come to him with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and the body washed with pure water: ²³ let us hold fast the profession of hope unwavering, (for he who promises is faithful.)

⁶ So that we may with confidence say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
