Hebrews 4 Cross References - Murdock

¹ Let us fear, therefore, lest while there is a firm promise of entering into his rest, any among you should be found coming short of entering. 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.

¹² Wherefore, let him who thinketh he standeth, beware lest he fall.

²⁴ But if ye should be all prophesying, and one unlearned or an unbeliever should come among you, he is explored by you all, and rebuked by you all; ²⁵ and the secrets of his heart are laid open to him: and so he will fall upon his face, and will worship God, and say: Verily, God is in you.

¹⁷ For we are not like others, who dilute the words of God; but as of the truth, and as of God, we speak in the Messiah before God.

² But we have renounced the concealments of dishonor, and we walk not in craftiness, nor do we treat the word of God deceitfully; but by the manifestation of the truth, we exhibit ourselves to all the consciences of men before God.

¹⁰ For we are all to stand before the judgment-seat of the Messiah, that each may receive retribution in the body, for what he hath done in it, whether of good, or whether of evil.

²¹ For, on your account, he hath made him who knew no sin to be sin, that we might by him become the righteousness of God.

⁵ For our preaching among you, was not in words only; but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in genuine persuasion. Ye also know, how we were among you for your sakes.

¹³ Therefore also we give thanks unceasingly to God, that the word of God which ye received from us, ye did not receive as the word of men, but as being truly the word of God, which worketh efficiently in you and in them that believe.

²³ And may the God of peace sanctify you all, perfectly, and keep blameless your whole spirit, and your soul, and your body, till the coming of our Lord Jesus the Messiah.

¹² and that they all may be condemned, who believe not the truth, but have pleasure in iniquity. ¹³ But we are bound to give thanks to God always, on your account, my brethren beloved of our Lord, that God hath from the beginning chosen you unto life, through sanctification of the Spirit, and through faith in the truth.

¹⁶ And they profess that they know God, but in their works they deny him; and they are odious, and disobedient, and to every good work reprobates.

¹⁴ who gave himself for us, that he might recover us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a new people, who are zealous in good works.

³ For we also were formerly reckless, and disobedient, and erring, and serving divers lusts, and living in malice and envy, and were hateful and also hating one another.

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.

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.

⁸ But of the Son he said: Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; a righteous sceptre is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

¹ Therefore we ought to be exceedingly cautious, in regard to what we have heard, lest we fall away.

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,

⁶ But as the scripture testifieth, and saith: What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou attendest to him?

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.

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. ¹⁸ For, in that he himself hath suffered, and been tempted, he is able to succor them who are tempted.

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,

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.

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?

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.

¹ Let us fear, therefore, lest while there is a firm promise of entering into his rest, any among you should be found coming short of entering. 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.

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.

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. ⁴ As he said of the sabbath, God rested on the seventh day from all his works.

⁴ As he said of the sabbath, God rested on the seventh day from all his works. 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:

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.

² and he can humble himself, and sympathize with the ignorant and the erring, because he also is clothed with infirmity.

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.

¹⁹ For the law perfected nothing; but in the place of it there came in a hope, which is better than it, and by which we draw near to God.

²⁵ and he is able to vivify for ever, them who come to God by him; for he always liveth, and sendeth up prayers for them.

²⁵ and he is able to vivify for ever, them who come to God by him; for he always liveth, and sendeth up prayers for them. 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;

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:

⁵ and over it were the cherubim of glory, which overshadowed the mercy seat. But there is not time to speak particularly of each of the things which were so arranged.

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.

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.

²⁶ otherwise, he must have suffered many times, since the commencement of the world; but now in the end of the world, he hath once offered himself in a self-sacrifice, to abolish sin.

¹² But this Priest offered one sacrifice for sins, and for ever sat down at the right hand of God;

¹⁹ We have therefore, my brethren, assurance in entering into the sanctuary, by the blood of Jesus, and by a way of life, ²⁰ which he hath now consecrated for us, through the veil, that is his flesh. ²¹ And we have a high priest over the house of God. ²² Let us, therefore draw near, with a true heart, and with the confidence of faith, being sprinkled as to our hearts, and pure from an evil conscience, and our body being washed with pure water. 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.

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.

⁶ But, without faith, a man cannot please God. For he that draweth near to God, must believe his existence, and that he will recompense those who seek him.

¹³ All these died in faith, and received not their promise; but they saw it afar off, and rejoiced in it; and they confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. ¹⁴ Now they who say thus, show that they seek a city. ¹⁵ But if they had been seeking that city from which they came out, they had opportunity to return again and go to it.

²⁵ And he chose to be in affliction with the people of God, and not to live luxuriously in sin for a short season:

² And let us look on Jesus, who hath become the commencement and the completion of our faith; who, on account of the joy there was for him, endured the cross, and surrendered himself to opprobrium; and is seated on the right hand of the throne of God.

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?

⁶ And it belongeth to us, to say confidently, My Lord is my aider, I will not fear. What can man do to me? ⁷ Remember your guides, who have spoken to you godly discourse; examine the issue of their course, and imitate their faith.

¹⁸ He saw fit, and begat us by the word of truth; that we might be the first-fruits of his creatures.

²¹ Wherefore, remove far from you all impurity, and the abundance of wickedness; and, with meekness, receive the word that is implanted in our nature, which is able to vivify these your souls.

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.

²⁰ who was predestined to this, before the foundation of the world; and was manifested at the termination of the times, for your sakes;

²³ like persons born again, not of seed that perisheth, but of that which doth not perish, by the living word of God, who abideth for ever.

⁴ to whom ye have come, because he is a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but with God elect and precious. 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.

¹⁰ who formerly were not accounted a people, but now are the people of God; and also, there were once no mercies on you, but now mercies are poured out upon you.

²² He did no sin; neither was guile found in his mouth.

¹ If then the Messiah hath suffered for you in the flesh, do ye also arm yourselves with the same mind: for every one that is dead in his body, hath ceased from all sins, ² that he may no longer be alive to the lusts of men, while he is in the body, but only to do the pleasure of God.

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. ¹¹ For thus will entrance be given you abundantly, into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Redeemer Jesus the Messiah.

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

¹⁶ And he had in his right hand seven stars; and from his mouth issued a sharp twoedged sword; and his visage was like the sun shining in its strength.

¹⁶ Or if not, I will come to thee quickly, and I will war upon them with the sword of my mouth.

²³ And her children will I slay with death: and all the churches shall know, that I am he who searcheth reins and hearts; and I will render to each of you according to your works.

¹⁴ And I said to him: My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me: These are they who came from great affliction; and they have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. ¹⁵ Therefore are they before the throne of God; and they serve him day and night, in his temple; and he who sitteth on the throne, will protect them: ¹⁶ they will not hunger, nor thirst any more; nor will the sun fall on them, nor any heat. ¹⁷ Because the Lamb, which is in the midst of the throne, will feed them; and will lead them to fountains of living water; and God will wipe every tear from their eyes.

¹³ And I heard a voice from heaven, saying: Write, Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord, henceforth: yes, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their toils; for their deeds do accompany them.

¹⁵ And from his mouth issued a sharp two-edged sword, that with it he could smite the nations; and he will rule the nations with a rod of iron; and he will tread the wine-press of the wrath of God Almighty.

²¹ And the rest were slain by the sword of him that sat on the horse, by that sword which issueth from his mouth: and all the fowls were satiated with their flesh.

⁴ And I saw thrones, and persons sat on them, and judgment was given to them, and to the souls that were beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God: and these are they who had not worshipped the beast of prey, nor its image, neither had they received the mark upon their forehead or on their hand; and they lived and reigned with their Messiah those thousand years.

¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and Him who sitteth thereon; from whose presence the earth and heaven fled away, and this their place was not found. ¹² And I saw the dead, great and small standing before the throne; and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged from the things written in the books, according to their deeds. ¹³ And the sea gave up the dead in it; and death and the grave gave up the dead in them. And they were judged, each one according to his deeds. ¹⁴ And death and the grave were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, namely, this lake of fire. ¹⁵ And if any one was not found enrolled in the book of life, he was cast into this lake of fire.

⁴ And every tear will be wiped from their eyes; and there will no more be death, nor mourning, nor wailing; nor shall pain be any more; because the former things are passed away.
