Hebrews 7 Cross References - Noyes

¹ For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him, ² to whom also Abraham apportioned a tenth part of all, who by interpretation is first King of righteousness, and then also was King of Salem, which is, King of peace, ³ without father, without mother, without record of descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life, but likened to the Son of God, remaineth a priest for ever. ⁴ Consider now how great this man was, to whom even Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth of the spoils. ⁵ And those indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the office of the priesthood have a command to take tithes of the people by the Law, that is, of their brethren, though they have come out of the loins of Abraham; ⁶ but he whose descent is not reckoned from them took tithes of Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises. ⁷ And beyond all contradiction the less is blessed by the greater. ⁸ And here indeed men that die receive tithes; but there he of whom it is testified that he liveth. ⁹ And so to speak, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, paid tithes in Abraham; ¹⁰ for he was yet in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him. ¹¹ If indeed perfection had been by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people hath received the Law,) what further need was there that a different priest should arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called alter the order of Aaron? ¹² For if the priesthood is changed, there takes place of necessity a change of the law. ¹³ For he of whom these things are spoken belonged to another tribe, of which no one hath given attendance at the altar; ¹⁴ for it is wellknown that our Lord sprang out of Judah, in regard to which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priests. ¹⁵ And it is still more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there ariseth a different priest, ¹⁶ who hath been made, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an indissoluble life. ¹⁷ For it is testified of him, "Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek." ¹⁸ For on the one hand there takes place an annulling of the commandment which went before, on account of its weakness and unprofitableness, ¹⁹ for the Law perfected nothing,and on the other, the bringing in of a better hope, by which we draw near to God. ²⁰ And inasmuch as it was not without an oath that he was made priest, ²¹ for they indeed have been made priests without an oath; but he with an oath by him who said to him, "The Lord swore, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever," ²² by so much hath Jesus become the surety of a better covenant. ²³ And they indeed have been many priests, because they have been prevented from continuing by reason of death; ²⁴ but he, because he abideth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood; ²⁵ wherefore he is able also to save to the utmost those who come to God through him, since he ever liveth to make intercession for them. ²⁶ For such a highpriest also became us, holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; ²⁷ who hath not necessity daily, as the highpriests, to offer up sacrifice first for his own sins, and then for those of the people; for this he did once for all, when he offered up himself. ²⁸ For the Law maketh men highpriests, who have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was after the Law, maketh the Son, who is perfected for ever.

³⁷ And the Father who sent me, he hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form. ³⁸ And ye have not his word abiding in you; for whom he sent, him ye believe not. ³⁹ Ye search the Scriptures, because ye yourselves think that in them ye have everlasting life; and it is they which testify of me; ⁴⁰ and ye are not willing to come to me, that ye may have life.

²⁹ And he that sent me is with me; he hath not left me alone, for I always do the things that please him.

⁹ I pray for them; I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; for they are thine; ¹⁰ and all things that are mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. ¹¹ And I am no longer in the world; and they are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father! keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we are. ¹² While I was with them, I kept them in thy name which thou hast given me, and guarded them; and no one of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture may be fulfilled. ¹³ But now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy made full in them. ¹⁴ I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. ¹⁵ I do not pray thee to take them out of the world, but to keep them from evil. ¹⁶ They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. ¹⁷ Sanctify them in thy truth; thy word is truth. ¹⁸ As thou didst send me into the world, I also sent them into the world. ¹⁹ And in their behalf I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified in the truth. ²⁰ Yet not for these alone do I pray, but also for those who believe in me through their word; ²¹ that they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me and I in thee, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that thou didst send me. ²² And the glory which thou hast given me, I have given them, that they may be one, even as we are one; ²³ I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one, that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. ²⁴ Father! as to that which thou hast given me, I desire that they also be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me; for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. ²⁵ Righteous Father! and yet the world knew thee not! but I knew thee, and these knew that thou didst send me. ²⁶ And I made known to them thy name, and will make it known; that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

²⁰ Because by works of the Law no flesh shall be accepted as righteous: for by the Law is the knowledge of sin. ²¹ But now, apart from the Law, the righteousness which is of God, to which the Law and the Prophets bear testimony,

²⁶ in order to manifest his righteousness at the present time, so that he may be righteous, and accept as righteous him who hath faith.

³¹ Do we then make void the Law through faith? Far be it! On the contrary, we establish the Law.

¹¹ And he received the outward sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was uncircumcised; that he might be the father of all the uncircumcised who have faith, so that righteousness might be put to their account also; ¹² and that he might be the father of the circumcised, who are not circumcised merely, but who tread in the steps of that faith which our father Abraham had while yet uncircumcised. ¹³ For not through the Law was the promise made to Abraham or his offspring that he should be the heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith.

¹ Therefore being accepted as righteous through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ; ² through whom also we have had admission into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in the hope of the glory which God will confer.

¹² So then as through one man sin entered into the world, and through sin death, and thus [death] came through unto all men, because all sinned

³ For what the Law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God hath done, who on account of sin sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and passed sentence of condemnation on sin in the flesh;

¹⁴ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the partaking of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.

¹⁶ but knowing that a man is not accepted as righteous by the works of the Law, but by faith in Christ Jesus, we also have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be accepted as righteous by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the Law; for by the works of the Law shall no flesh be accepted as righteous.

²¹ I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness come through the Law, then did Christ die for nought.

¹⁵ Brethren, I speak according to what is practised among men; no one sets aside even a human covenant, or makes additions to it, after it has been ratified. ¹⁶ But the promises were made to Abraham and "to his offspring." He doth not say, "and to offsprings," as speaking of many, but, as speaking of one, "and to thy offspring," which is Christ. ¹⁷ And what I mean is this; that a covenant that was before ratified by God, the Law, which came four hundred and thirty years after, cannot annul, so as to make void the promise;

²⁴ So then the Law hath been our schoolmaster, to lead us to Christ, that we might be accepted as righteous through faith;

²⁸ There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is no male and female; for ye are all one in Christ Jesus; ²⁹ and if ye belong to Christ, then are ye Abrahams offspring, heirs according to the promise.

³ So also we, when we were children, were in bondage under the rudiments of the world;

⁹ but now, after having known God, or rather having been known by God, how is it that ye are turning back to the weak and beggarly rudiments to which ye wish to be again in bondage?

²¹ Tell me, ye that desire to be under the Law, do ye not hear the Law?

³ Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly regions in Christ;

²⁰ which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead; and seated him at his own right hand in the heavenly regions, ²¹ far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come; ²² and put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church,

¹³ but now, in Christ Jesus, ye, who formerly were afar off, have been brought nigh by the blood of Christ. ¹⁴ For it is he who is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of partition between us, that is, the enmity; ¹⁵ having abolished in his flesh the law of commandments contained in ordinances; that he might create of the two one new man in himself, thus making peace, ¹⁶ and might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, having slain on it the enmity. ¹⁷ And he came and brought the glad tidings of peace to you who were afar off, and of peace to those that were near; ¹⁸ for through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

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

²² in whom ye also are built together into a dwellingplace of God in the Spirit.

¹² in whom we have our boldness and our access in confidence, through faith in him.

²⁰ Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

⁸ Wherefore he saith: "When he ascended on high, he led captive a train of captives, and gave gifts to men." ⁹ Now what is implied in his ascending, but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth? ¹⁰ He who descended is the same as he who ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.

² and walk in love, as Christ also loved you, and gave himself for you an offering and a sacrifice to God, of a sweet odor.

⁹ Wherefore God also highly exalted him, and gave him a name which is above every name; ¹⁰ that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven, and those on earth, and those under the earth, ¹¹ and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God, the Father.

⁸ Nay more, I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as refuse, that I may gain Christ,

²¹ who will transform the body of our humiliation so that it shall be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working of the power with which he is able to subdue all things to himself.

²⁷ to whom it was the will of God to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory;

¹⁰ and ye are made full in him, who is the head of all principality and power; ¹¹ in whom also ye have been circumcised with a circumcision not performed by hand, in putting off the body of the flesh in the circumcision of Christ, ¹² having been buried with him in your baptism; in which also ye were raised to life with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead; ¹³ and to you also who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he given life together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses; ¹⁴ blotting out the handwriting in ordinances that was against us, which was opposed to us, he hath taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross;

¹⁴ blotting out the handwriting in ordinances that was against us, which was opposed to us, he hath taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross; ¹⁵ and having disarmed principalities and powers, he made a public show of them, and led them captive in triumph in him. ¹⁶ Let no one then call you to account about food or drink, or a feastday, or a new moon, or sabbaths; ¹⁷ which are a shadow of the things to come, but the body is Christs.

²⁰ If ye died with Christ to the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, do ye subject yourselves to ordinances, such as,

¹ Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, through the command of God, our Saviour, and Christ Jesus, our hope,

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

¹⁶ And confessedly great is the mystery of godliness, in him who was manifested in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among the gentiles, believed on in the world, received up in glory.

⁸ For bodily exercise is profitable for little; but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.

¹² For which cause I suffer also these things. But I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which he hath committed to me unto that day.

¹⁴ who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself a people to be his own, zealous in good works.

² hath at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, by whom he also made the worlds, ³ who being a brightness from his glory and an image of his being, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself accomplished a cleansing of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

¹⁰ For it became him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

¹⁸ For in that he himself hath suffered, being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

⁶ but Christ as a son over his house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and joyousness of our hope.

¹⁶ who then, when they had heard, provoked? Was it not all who came out of Egypt by means of Moses?

¹⁴ Since, then, we have a great highpriest, who hath passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

¹⁴ Since, then, we have a great highpriest, who hath passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. ¹⁵ For we have not a highpriest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who hath in all points been tempted as we are, without sin. ¹⁶ Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

¹ For every highpriest, being taken from among men, is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins;

¹ For every highpriest, being taken from among men, is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins; ² being able to be forbearing toward the ignorant and the erring, since he himself also is compassed with infirmity; ³ and by reason of this infirmity he must, as for the people, so also for himself, offer sacrifice for sins. ⁴ And no one taketh this honor to himself, but when called by God, as was Aaron. ⁵ Thus Christ did not glorify himself to be made highpriest, but he who said to him, "Thou art my Son, I this day have begotten thee;" ⁶ as also he saith in another place, "Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek." ⁷ Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications, with strong crying and tears, to him that was able to save him from death, and was heard by reason of his godly reverence, ⁸ though a son yet learned his obedience from what he suffered; ⁹ and being perfected became the author of everlasting salvation to all who obey him, ¹⁰ being addressed by God as highpriest after the order of Melchizedek.

¹³ For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no greater, he swore by himself, ¹⁴ saying, "Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee." ¹⁵ And so, having endured with patience, he obtained the promised blessing. ¹⁶ For men indeed swear by one who is greater, and the oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. ¹⁷ Wherefore God, wishing more abundantly to show to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his purpose, confirmed it by an oath, ¹⁸ that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us;

¹⁸ that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us;

²⁰ where as forerunner for us Jesus entered, having become a highpriest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek.

¹ For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him,

³ without father, without mother, without record of descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life, but likened to the Son of God, remaineth a priest for ever.

³ without father, without mother, without record of descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life, but likened to the Son of God, remaineth a priest for ever. ⁴ Consider now how great this man was, to whom even Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth of the spoils.

⁴ Consider now how great this man was, to whom even Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth of the spoils. ⁵ And those indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the office of the priesthood have a command to take tithes of the people by the Law, that is, of their brethren, though they have come out of the loins of Abraham; ⁶ but he whose descent is not reckoned from them took tithes of Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises.

⁸ And here indeed men that die receive tithes; but there he of whom it is testified that he liveth.

⁸ And here indeed men that die receive tithes; but there he of whom it is testified that he liveth. ⁹ And so to speak, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, paid tithes in Abraham; ¹⁰ for he was yet in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.

¹⁰ for he was yet in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him. ¹¹ If indeed perfection had been by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people hath received the Law,) what further need was there that a different priest should arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called alter the order of Aaron?

¹¹ If indeed perfection had been by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people hath received the Law,) what further need was there that a different priest should arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called alter the order of Aaron?

¹¹ If indeed perfection had been by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people hath received the Law,) what further need was there that a different priest should arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called alter the order of Aaron? ¹² For if the priesthood is changed, there takes place of necessity a change of the law.

¹² For if the priesthood is changed, there takes place of necessity a change of the law. ¹³ For he of whom these things are spoken belonged to another tribe, of which no one hath given attendance at the altar; ¹⁴ for it is wellknown that our Lord sprang out of Judah, in regard to which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priests.

¹⁴ for it is wellknown that our Lord sprang out of Judah, in regard to which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priests. ¹⁵ And it is still more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there ariseth a different priest,

¹⁵ And it is still more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there ariseth a different priest, ¹⁶ who hath been made, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an indissoluble life.

¹⁶ who hath been made, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an indissoluble life. ¹⁷ For it is testified of him, "Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek."

¹⁷ For it is testified of him, "Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek."

¹⁷ For it is testified of him, "Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek."

¹⁷ For it is testified of him, "Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek." ¹⁸ For on the one hand there takes place an annulling of the commandment which went before, on account of its weakness and unprofitableness,

¹⁸ For on the one hand there takes place an annulling of the commandment which went before, on account of its weakness and unprofitableness,

¹⁸ For on the one hand there takes place an annulling of the commandment which went before, on account of its weakness and unprofitableness, ¹⁹ for the Law perfected nothing,and on the other, the bringing in of a better hope, by which we draw near to God.

¹⁹ for the Law perfected nothing,and on the other, the bringing in of a better hope, by which we draw near to God.

¹⁹ for the Law perfected nothing,and on the other, the bringing in of a better hope, by which we draw near to God.

¹⁹ for the Law perfected nothing,and on the other, the bringing in of a better hope, by which we draw near to God. ²⁰ And inasmuch as it was not without an oath that he was made priest,

²⁰ And inasmuch as it was not without an oath that he was made priest, ²¹ for they indeed have been made priests without an oath; but he with an oath by him who said to him, "The Lord swore, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever,"

²¹ for they indeed have been made priests without an oath; but he with an oath by him who said to him, "The Lord swore, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever,"

²¹ for they indeed have been made priests without an oath; but he with an oath by him who said to him, "The Lord swore, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever," ²² by so much hath Jesus become the surety of a better covenant. ²³ And they indeed have been many priests, because they have been prevented from continuing by reason of death;

²³ And they indeed have been many priests, because they have been prevented from continuing by reason of death;

²⁵ wherefore he is able also to save to the utmost those who come to God through him, since he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

²⁵ wherefore he is able also to save to the utmost those who come to God through him, since he ever liveth to make intercession for them. ²⁶ For such a highpriest also became us, holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; ²⁷ who hath not necessity daily, as the highpriests, to offer up sacrifice first for his own sins, and then for those of the people; for this he did once for all, when he offered up himself. ²⁸ For the Law maketh men highpriests, who have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was after the Law, maketh the Son, who is perfected for ever.

²⁸ For the Law maketh men highpriests, who have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was after the Law, maketh the Son, who is perfected for ever.

¹ Now the principal thing among those of which we are speaking is this: We have such a highpriest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;

⁶ But now he hath obtained a more excellent ministry, in proportion as he is the mediator of a better covenant, which hath been established upon better promises.

⁶ But now he hath obtained a more excellent ministry, in proportion as he is the mediator of a better covenant, which hath been established upon better promises. ⁷ For if that first covenant had been faultless, then a place would not have been sought for a second.

⁷ For if that first covenant had been faultless, then a place would not have been sought for a second.

⁷ For if that first covenant had been faultless, then a place would not have been sought for a second. ⁸ For finding fault with them, he saith: "Behold, the days are coming, saith the Lord, when I will make with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah a new covenant;

⁸ For finding fault with them, he saith: "Behold, the days are coming, saith the Lord, when I will make with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah a new covenant; ⁹ not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day when I took them by the hand, to bring them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

⁹ not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day when I took them by the hand, to bring them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. ¹⁰ For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: I will put my laws into their mind, and on their hearts will I write them; and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.

¹⁰ For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: I will put my laws into their mind, and on their hearts will I write them; and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people. ¹¹ And they shall not teach every one his fellowcitizen, and every one his brother, saying, Know the Lord; for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

¹¹ And they shall not teach every one his fellowcitizen, and every one his brother, saying, Know the Lord; for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. ¹² For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities I will remember no more."

¹² For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities I will remember no more." ¹³ In that he saith, "a new covenant," he hath made the first old; but that which is becoming old, and worn out with age, is ready to vanish away.

⁷ but into the second the highpriest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offereth for himself, and for the errors of the people;

⁹ which is a figure for the present time, in accordance with which are offered both gifts and sacrifices, which have no power as to the conscience to perfect the worshipper,

⁹ which is a figure for the present time, in accordance with which are offered both gifts and sacrifices, which have no power as to the conscience to perfect the worshipper, ¹⁰ being only ordinances pertaining to the flesh, which in addition to meats and drinks and divers washings are imposed until the time of reformation.

¹² not with the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, and obtained for us everlasting redemption.

¹⁴ how much more shall the blood of Christ, who by his everlasting spirit offered himself without spot to God, purify your conscience from dead works, for the worship of the living God! ¹⁵ And for this cause he is the mediator of a new covenant, that, death having taken place for redemption from the transgressions under the first covenant, they who have been called may receive the everlasting inheritance which was promised. ¹⁶ For where there is a testament there must of necessity be implied the death of the testator; ¹⁷ for a testament is of force after men are dead, since it is of no force while the testator is living. ¹⁸ Hence neither was the first covenant ratified without blood. ¹⁹ For when Moses had spoken every precept according to the Law to all the people, he took the blood of the calves and of the goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, ²⁰ saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God enjoined in respect to you." ²¹ The tabernacle also and all the vessels of the service he in like manner sprinkled with the blood. ²² And almost all things are according to the Law purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission. ²³ It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with sacrifices better than these.

²³ It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with sacrifices better than these. ²⁴ For Christ did not enter into a sanctuary made with hands, which is only a copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God in our behalf.

²⁴ For Christ did not enter into a sanctuary made with hands, which is only a copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God in our behalf.

²⁴ For Christ did not enter into a sanctuary made with hands, which is only a copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God in our behalf. ²⁵ Nor yet to make an offering of himself many times, as the highpriest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;

²⁵ Nor yet to make an offering of himself many times, as the highpriest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;

²⁵ Nor yet to make an offering of himself many times, as the highpriest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; ²⁶ for then must he have suffered many times since the foundation of the world; but now once in the end of the world he hath appeared, to put away sin by means of his sacrifice. ²⁷ And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment; ²⁸ so also Christ having been once offered up to bear the sins of many, will appear the second time, without sin, for the salvation of those who are waiting for him.

¹ For the Law but shadowing forth the good things to come, and not having the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices which they offer year by year continually make those who come with them perfect.

⁴ For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins. ⁵ Wherefore, when he cometh into the world, he saith: "Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body didst thou prepare for me; ⁶ in whole burntofferings and sacrifices for sin thou hadst no pleasure.

⁶ in whole burntofferings and sacrifices for sin thou hadst no pleasure. ⁷ Then said I, Lo, I have comein the volume of the book it is written of meto do thy will, O God."

⁷ Then said I, Lo, I have comein the volume of the book it is written of meto do thy will, O God." ⁸ Saying above, "Sacrifices and offerings, and whole burntofferings and sacrifices for sin thou wouldest not, and hadst no pleasure in them,"such as are offered in conformity to the Law,

⁸ Saying above, "Sacrifices and offerings, and whole burntofferings and sacrifices for sin thou wouldest not, and hadst no pleasure in them,"such as are offered in conformity to the Law, ⁹ then hath he said, "Lo, I have come to do thy will." He setteth aside the first, that he may establish the second.

⁹ then hath he said, "Lo, I have come to do thy will." He setteth aside the first, that he may establish the second. ¹⁰ And in this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. ¹¹ And every priest indeed standeth performing daily service, and offering again and again the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins;

¹¹ And every priest indeed standeth performing daily service, and offering again and again the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins; ¹² but he, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins, sat down for ever on the right hand of God,

¹² but he, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins, sat down for ever on the right hand of God, ¹³ thenceforth waiting until his enemies be made his footstool. ¹⁴ For by one offering he hath perfected for ever those who are sanctified. ¹⁵ Moreover the Holy Spirit also is a witness to us of this. For after he had said, ¹⁶ "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days," the Lord saith, "I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them, ¹⁷ and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more." ¹⁸ But where there is remission of these, there is no longer offering for sin. ¹⁹ Having therefore, brethren, boldness for entrance into the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ a new and living way, which he consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, his flesh, ²¹ and having a great priest over the house of God, ²² let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having had our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience; and having had our bodies washed with pure water,

⁶ But without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.

¹³ These all died in faith, not having received the promised blessings, but having seen them from afar, and greeted them, and having professed that they were strangers and sojourners on the earth.

¹⁷ By faith Abraham, when tried, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was offering up his onlybegotten son,

²⁰ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau even concerning things to come. ²¹ By faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.

⁴⁰ God having provided for us some better thing, that they might not be made perfect without us.

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

²⁴ and to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant; and to a sprinkling with that blood which speaketh something better than Abel.

⁸ Jesus Christ is yesterday and today the same, and for ever. ⁹ Be not carried aside with various and strange teachings; for it is good that the heart be established with grace, not with meats, in which those who walked were not profited.

¹⁵ Through him therefore let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips giving thanks to his name.

²⁰ Now may the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of an everlasting covenant, even our Lord Jesus,

²³ And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, "Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness;" and he was called the friend of God.

¹⁹ but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot;

²² who committed no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth;

²² who is on the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.

¹ My children, these things I write to you, that ye may not sin. And if any one have sinned, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. ² And he is a propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.

² And he is a propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.

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

²⁴ But to him that is able to keep them from falling, and to present them faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

¹⁷ And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead; and he laid his right hand on me, saying, Fear not; I am the first and the last, ¹⁸ and he that liveth; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive for evermore; and I have the keys of death and the underworld.

¹⁸ and he that liveth; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive for evermore; and I have the keys of death and the underworld.

⁷ And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These things saith he who is holy, he who is true, he who hath the key of David; he who openeth, and no one shall shut; and shutteth, and no one shall open:

⁵ And one of the elders saith to me, Weep not; behold, the Lion that is of the tribe of Judah, the shoot from David, conquered, he that openeth the book, and its seven seals.

³ And another angel came, and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given to him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. ⁴ And the smoke of the incense went up with the prayers of the saints before God out of the angels hand.

¹⁶ I Jesus sent my angel to testify these things to you for the churches. I am the shoot and the offspring of David, the bright morningstar.
