Hebrews 3 Cross References - Murdock

¹ Wherefore, my holy brethren, who are called with a calling that is from heaven, consider this Legate and High Priest of our profession, Jesus the Messiah: ² who was faithful to him that made him, as was Moses in all his house. ³ For much greater is the glory of this man, than that of Moses; just as the glory of the builder of a house, is greater than that of the edifice. ⁴ For every house is built by some man; but he who buildeth all things is God. ⁵ And Moses, as a servant, was faithful in all the house, for an attestation to those things that were to be spoken by him: ⁶ but the Messiah as the SON, is over his own house; and we are his house, if we retain unto the end assurance, and the triumph of hope in him. ⁷ Because the Holy Spirit hath said: To-day, if ye will hear his voice, ⁸ harden not your hearts to anger him, like the provocators, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness, ⁹ when your fathers tempted me, and proved, and saw my works forty years. ¹⁰ Therefore I was disgusted with that generation, and said: This is a people, whose heart wandereth, and they have not known my ways: ¹¹ so that I swore in my wrath, that they should not enter into my rest. ¹² Beware, therefore, my brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart that believeth not, and ye depart from the living God. ¹³ But examine yourselves all the days, during the day which is called to-day; and let none of you be hardened, through the deceitfulness of sin. ¹⁴ For we have part with the Messiah, if we persevere in this firm confidence, from the beginning to the end: ¹⁵ as it is said, To-day, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, to anger him. ¹⁶ But who were they that heard, and angered him? It was not all they, who came out of Egypt under Moses. ¹⁷ And with whom was he disgusted forty years, but with those who sinned, and whose carcasses fell in the wilderness? ¹⁸ and of whom swore he, that they should not enter into his rest, but of those who believed not? ¹⁹ So we see that they could not enter, because they believed not.

¹⁰ and with all the deceptiveness of iniquity, in them that perish; because they did not receive the love of the truth, by which they might have life. ¹¹ Therefore God will send upon them the operation of deception, that they may believe a lie; ¹² and that they all may be condemned, who believe not the truth, but have pleasure in iniquity.

⁹ who hath vivified us, and called us with a holy calling; not according to our works, but according to his good pleasure, and his grace that was given us in Jesus the Messiah from time before the ages,

⁷ Consider what I say. Our Lord give thee wisdom in all things.

² Proclaim the word; and persist in it with diligence, in time and out of time; admonish, and rebuke, with all patience and instructiveness.

² But in these latter days, he hath conversed with us, by his Son; whom he hath constituted heir of all things, and by whom he made the worlds;

² But in these latter days, he hath conversed with us, by his Son; whom he hath constituted heir of all things, and by whom he made the worlds; ³ who is the splendor of his glory, and the image of himself, and upholdeth all by the energy of his word; and by himself he made a purgation of sins, and sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high. ⁴ And he is altogether superior to the angels, as he hath also inherited a name which excelleth theirs.

¹ Therefore we ought to be exceedingly cautious, in regard to what we have heard, lest we fall away. ² For if the word uttered by the medium of angels was confirmed, and every one who heard it, and transgressed it, received a just retribution; ³ how shall we escape, if we despise the things which are our life, things which began to be spoken by our Lord, and were confirmed to us by them who heard from him,

⁹ But we see him, who was depressed somewhat lower than the angels, to be this Jesus, because of the passion of his death; and glory and honor are placed on his head; for God himself, in his grace, tasted death for all men.

¹¹ For he that sanctifieth, and they who are sanctified, are all of one nature. Therefore he is not ashamed to call them brethren;

¹⁷ Wherefore it was right, that he should be in all respects like his brethren; that he might be merciful, and a high priest faithful in the things of God, and might make expiation for the sins of the people.

¹ Wherefore, my holy brethren, who are called with a calling that is from heaven, consider this Legate and High Priest of our profession, Jesus the Messiah: ² who was faithful to him that made him, as was Moses in all his house.

² who was faithful to him that made him, as was Moses in all his house. ³ For much greater is the glory of this man, than that of Moses; just as the glory of the builder of a house, is greater than that of the edifice.

³ For much greater is the glory of this man, than that of Moses; just as the glory of the builder of a house, is greater than that of the edifice.

⁵ And Moses, as a servant, was faithful in all the house, for an attestation to those things that were to be spoken by him: ⁶ but the Messiah as the SON, is over his own house; and we are his house, if we retain unto the end assurance, and the triumph of hope in him.

⁶ but the Messiah as the SON, is over his own house; and we are his house, if we retain unto the end assurance, and the triumph of hope in him. ⁷ Because the Holy Spirit hath said: To-day, if ye will hear his voice, ⁸ harden not your hearts to anger him, like the provocators, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness, ⁹ when your fathers tempted me, and proved, and saw my works forty years. ¹⁰ Therefore I was disgusted with that generation, and said: This is a people, whose heart wandereth, and they have not known my ways:

¹⁰ Therefore I was disgusted with that generation, and said: This is a people, whose heart wandereth, and they have not known my ways: ¹¹ so that I swore in my wrath, that they should not enter into my rest. ¹² Beware, therefore, my brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart that believeth not, and ye depart from the living God.

¹² Beware, therefore, my brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart that believeth not, and ye depart from the living God. ¹³ But examine yourselves all the days, during the day which is called to-day; and let none of you be hardened, through the deceitfulness of sin.

¹³ But examine yourselves all the days, during the day which is called to-day; and let none of you be hardened, through the deceitfulness of sin. ¹⁴ For we have part with the Messiah, if we persevere in this firm confidence, from the beginning to the end: ¹⁵ as it is said, To-day, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, to anger him.

¹⁸ and of whom swore he, that they should not enter into his rest, but of those who believed not? ¹⁹ So we see that they could not enter, because they believed not.

² For to us also is the announcement, as well as to them: but the word they heard did not profit them, because it was not mingled with the faith of those who heard it. ³ But we, who have believed, do enter into rest. But as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, that they shall not enter into my rest: for lo, the works of God existed from the foundation of the world.

⁵ And here again, he said, They shall not enter into my rest. ⁶ Therefore, because there was a place, whither one and another might enter; and those earlier persons, to whom the announcement was made, entered not, because they believed not: ⁷ again he established another day, a long time afterwards; as above written, that David said, Today, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

⁹ Therefore it is established, that the people of God are to have a sabbath.

¹¹ Let us, therefore, strive to enter into that rest; lest we fall short, after the manner of them who believed not.

¹⁴ Seeing then that we have a great High Priest, Jesus the Messiah, the son of God, who hath ascended to heaven; let us persevere in professing him.

¹⁴ Seeing then that we have a great High Priest, Jesus the Messiah, the son of God, who hath ascended to heaven; let us persevere in professing him. ¹⁵ For we have not a high priest, who cannot sympathize with our infirmity; but one who was tempted in all respects like us, aside from sin.

¹ For every high priest, who is from among men, is established over the things of God, in behalf of men, that he may present the offering and the sacrifices for sin: ² and he can humble himself, and sympathize with the ignorant and the erring, because he also is clothed with infirmity. ³ And, therefore, he is obliged as for the people, so also for himself, to present an offering for his sins. ⁴ And no one taketh this honor on himself, but he who is called of God, as Aaron was. ⁵ So also the Messiah did not exalt himself to become a High Priest; but He appointed him who said to him, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. ⁶ As he said also in another place: Thou art a priest for ever, after the likeness of Melchisedec. ⁷ Likewise, when he was clothed in flesh, he presented supplication and entreaty with intense invocation, and with tears, to him who was able to resuscitate him from death; and he was heard. ⁸ And though he was a son, yet, from the fear and the sufferings he endured, he learned obedience. ⁹ And thus he was perfected and became the cause of eternal life to all them who obey him. ¹⁰ And he was named of God, the High Priest after the likeness of Melchisedec.

⁴ But they who have once descended to baptism, and have tasted the gift from heaven, and have received the Holy Spirit,

¹¹ And we desire, that each one of you may show this same activity, for the completion of your hope, even to the end:

²⁰ whither Jesus hath previously entered for us, and hath become a priest for ever, after the likeness of Melchisedec.

²⁶ For, a priest like to him, was also suitable for us; one pure, and without evil and without stain; one separated from sins, and exalted higher than heaven;

¹ Now the sum of the whole is this, we have a High Priest, who is seated on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven: ² And he is the minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which God hath pitched, and not man. ³ For every high priest is established, to offer oblations and sacrifices; and therefore, it was proper that this one should also have something to offer.

⁵ namely they, who minister in the emblem and shadow of the things in heaven: as it was said to Moses, when he was about to build the tabernacle, See, and make every thing according to the pattern which was showed thee in the mount.

⁸ And by this the Holy Spirit indicated, that the way to the holy places was not yet manifested, so long as the first tabernacle was standing:

⁸ And by this the Holy Spirit indicated, that the way to the holy places was not yet manifested, so long as the first tabernacle was standing: ⁹ and it was a symbol, for that time, during which oblation and sacrifices were offered that could not make perfect the conscience of him who offered them: ¹⁰ but they consisted only in food and drink, and in the ablutions of divers things; which were carnal ordinances, and were set up until the time of a reformation. ¹¹ But the Messiah who came, was a High Priest of the good things which he wrought: and he entered into the great and perfect tabernacle, which was not made with hands and was not of these created things.

¹¹ But the Messiah who came, was a High Priest of the good things which he wrought: and he entered into the great and perfect tabernacle, which was not made with hands and was not of these created things. ¹² And he did not enter with the blood of goats and calves; but with the blood of himself, he entered once into the sanctuary, and obtained eternal redemption. ¹³ For if the blood of goats and calves, with the ashes of a heifer, was sprinkled upon them that were defiled, and sanctified them as to the purification of their flesh;

²⁴ For the Messiah entered not into the sanctuary made with hands, which is the emblem of the true sanctuary: but he entered into heaven itself to appear in the presence of God for us.

²¹ And we have a high priest over the house of God.

²³ And let us persevere in the profession of our hope, and not waver; for he is faithful who hath made the promise to us. ²⁴ And let us look on each other, for the excitement of love and good works. ²⁵ And let us not forsake our meetings, as is the custom of some; but entreat ye one another; and the more, as ye see that day draw near.

²⁹ how much more, think ye, will he receive capital punishment, who hath trodden upon the Son of God, and hath accounted the blood of his covenant, by which he is sanctified, as the blood of all men, and hath treated the Spirit of grace with contumely?

³⁵ Therefore cast not away your assurance which is to have a great reward.

³⁸ Now the just by my faith, will live: but if he draw back, my soul will not have pleasure in him.

³⁸ Now the just by my faith, will live: but if he draw back, my soul will not have pleasure in him. ³⁹ But we are not of that drawing-back, which leadeth to perdition; but of that faith, which maketh us possess our soul.

¹⁰ For they chastened us for a short time, according to their pleasure; but God, for our advantage, that we may become partakers of his holiness.

¹⁵ And be careful, lest any be found among you destitute of the grace of God; or lest some root of bitterness shoot forth germs, and trouble you; and thereby many be defiled:

²⁵ Beware, therefore, lest ye refuse to hear him who speaketh with you. For if they escaped not, who refused to hear him who spake with them on the earth, how much more shall we not, if we refuse to hear him who speaketh with us from heaven?

¹⁴ But every man is tempted by his own lust; and he lusteth, and is drawn away.

¹³ But what shall we say of those, who say: To-day or to-morrow we will go to such or such a city, and will abide there a year; and we will traffic, and get gain? ¹⁴ And they know not what will be to-morrow: for what is our life, but an exhalation that is seen a little while, and then vanisheth and is gone? ¹⁵ Whereas they should say: If the Lord please, and we live, we will do this or that.

³ Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, who in his great mercy hath begotten us anew, by the resurrection of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, to the hope of life, ⁴ and to an inheritance incorruptible, undefiled, and unfading, which is prepared for you in heaven; ⁵ while ye are kept, by the power of God and by faith, for the life that is prepared and will be revealed in the last times; ⁶ wherein ye will rejoice for ever, notwithstanding ye at the present time are pressed a little, by the various trials that pass over you;

⁸ whom having not seen, ye love; and in the faith of whom ye rejoice, with joy that is glorious and ineffable,

¹⁰ that life namely, about which the prophets inquired, when they were prophesying of the grace which was to be given to you. ¹¹ And they searched for the time which the Spirit of the Messiah dwelling in them did show and testify, when the sufferings of the Messiah were to occur, and his subsequent glory. ¹² And it was revealed to them, in regard to all they were searching, that, not for themselves were they inquiring, but for us they were prophesying of those things, which are now manifested to you by means of the things we have announced to you, by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven; which things the angels also desire to look into.

⁵ And ye also, as living stones, are builded and become spiritual temples, and holy priests, for the offering of spiritual sacrifices, acceptable before God, through Jesus the Messiah.

⁵ And ye also, as living stones, are builded and become spiritual temples, and holy priests, for the offering of spiritual sacrifices, acceptable before God, through Jesus the Messiah. ⁶ For it is said in the scripture, Behold, in Zion I lay a chosen and precious stone, for the head of the corner; and whoever believeth in him, will not be ashamed. ⁷ On you therefore who believe, is this honor conferred: but to them who believe not,

⁹ But ye are an elect race, officiating as priests of the kingdom; a holy people, a redeemed congregation; that ye should proclaim the praises of him who called you out of darkness to his precious light:

⁵ For so also the holy women of old, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, and were subject to their husbands:

¹³ But rejoice, that ye participate in the sufferings of the Messiah, that so ye may also rejoice and exult at the revelation of his glory.

¹ And I, an Elder, your associate, and a witness of the sufferings of the Messiah, and a participator in his glory which is to be revealed, entreat the Elders who are among you:

¹⁰ Now it is the God of grace, who hath called us to his eternal glory by Jesus the Messiah, that hath given us, while we sustain these light afflictions, to be strengthened, and confirmed, and established by him for ever:

³ as the giver to us of all things that be of the power of God, unto life and the fear of God, through the recognition of him who hath called us unto his own glory and moral excellence: ⁴ wherein he hath given you very great and precious promises; that by them ye might become partakers of the nature of God, while ye flee from the corruptions of the lusts that are in the world. ⁵ And, while ye apply all diligence in the matter, add to your faith moral excellence; and to moral excellence, knowledge; ⁶ and to knowledge, perseverance; and to perseverance, patience; and to patience, the fear of God; ⁷ and to the fear of God, sympathy with the brotherhood; and to sympathy with the brotherhood, love. ⁸ For, while these are found in you, and abounding, they render you not slothful, and not unfruitful, in the recognition of our Lord Jesus the Messiah. ⁹ For he, in whom these things are not found, is blind and seeth not, and hath forgotten the purgation of his former sins. ¹⁰ And therefore, my brethren, be ye exceedingly diligent to make your calling and election sure, by your good actions: for, by so doing, ye will never fall away.

²¹ For at no time was it by the pleasure of man, that the prophecy came; but holy men of God spoke, as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

³ And what we have seen and heard, we make known to you also, that ye may have fellowship with us; and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus the Messiah.

¹⁰ Whoever believeth in the Son of God, hath this testimony in himself. And whoever believeth not God, hath made him a liar, by not believing the testimony which God hath testified concerning his Son.

¹ JUDE, a servant of Jesus the Messiah, and the brother of James, to the called people, the beloved of God the Father, the preserved by Jesus the Messiah :

⁵ And I wish to remind you, though ye all know it, that God, after once rescuing the people from Egypt, again destroyed them who believed not.

¹⁸ And to the angel of the church at Thyatira, write: These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet like fine brass:

²⁵ but, what ye have, hold fast until I come.

¹¹ I come quickly: hold fast what thou hast, so that no one take thy crown.

²⁰ Behold, I have been standing at the door, and I will knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

¹⁴ They will make war upon the Lamb; and the Lamb will vanquish them; because he is Lord of lords, and King of kings, and these with him are called and chosen and faithful.

²⁰ Rejoice over her, O heaven, and ye Angels, and Legates, and Prophets; because God judgeth your cause with her.
