| 1:1 |
Long ago God spoke to theour fathersancestors by the prophets at different times and in different ways. |
| 1:2 |
In these last days, Hehe has spoken to us by Hishis Son. God has appointed Himhim heir of all things and made the universe through Himhim. |
| 1:3 |
The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact expression of Hishis nature, sustaining all things by Hishis powerful word. After making purification for sins, Hehe sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. |
| 1:4 |
So Hehe became highersuperior into rank than the angels, just as the name Hehe inherited is superiormore toexcellent than theirs. |
| 1:5 |
For to which of the angels did Hehe ever say, You are Mymy Son; today I have become Youryour Father, or again, I will be Hishis Father, and Hehe will be Mymy Son? |
| 1:6 |
WhenAgain, Hewhen againhe brings Hishis firstborn into the world, Hehe says, And let all God’s angels must worship Himhim. |
| 1:7 |
And about the angels Hehe says: He makes Hishis angels winds, and Hishis servants a fiery flame, |
| 1:8 |
but to the Son: Your throne, God, is forever and ever, and the scepter of Youryour kingdom is a scepter of justice. |
| 1:9 |
You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; this is why God, Youryour God, has anointed Youyou with the oil of joy ratherbeyond thanyour Your companions. |
| 1:10 |
And: In the beginning, Lord, Youyou established the earth, and the heavens are the works of Youryour hands; |
| 1:11 |
they will perish, but Youyou remain. They will all wear out like clothing; |
| 1:12 |
You you will roll them up like a cloak, and they will be changed like a robeclothing. But Youyou are the same, and Youryour years will never end. |
| 1:13 |
Now to which of the angels has Hehe ever said: Sit at Mymy right hand until I make Youryour enemies Youryour footstool? |
| 2:1 |
WeFor must,this thereforereason, we must pay evenattention all the more attention to what we have heard, so that we will not drift away. |
| 2:3 |
how will we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? ItThis salvation had its beginning when it was first spoken of by the Lord, and it was confirmed to us by those who heard Himhim. |
| 2:4 |
At the same time, God also testified by signs and wonders, various miracles, and distributions of gifts from the Holy Spirit according to Hishis will. |
| 2:5 |
For Hehe has not subjected to angels the world to come that we are talking about. |
| 2:6 |
But onesomeone somewhere has somewhere testified: What is man that Youyou remember him, or the son of man that Youyou care for him? |
| 2:7 |
You made him lower than the angels for a short time; Youyou crowned him with glory and honor |
| 2:8 |
and subjected everything under his feet. For in subjecting everything to him, Hehe left nothing that is not subject to him. As it is, we do not yet see everything subjected to him. |
| 2:9 |
But we do see Jesus — made lower than the angels for a short time so that by God’s grace Hehe might taste death for everyone — crowned with glory and honor because ofhe Hissuffered suffering in death. |
| 2:10 |
For in bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was entirely appropriate that God —all things exist for Himwhom and through Himwhom all things exist — should make the sourcepioneer of their salvation perfect through sufferings. |
| 2:11 |
For the Oneone who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one Father. That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters, |
| 2:12 |
saying: I will proclaim Youryour name to Mymy brothers and sisters; I will sing hymns to Youyou in the congregation. |
| 2:13 |
Again, I will trust in Himhim. And again, Here I am with the children God gave Meme. |
| 2:14 |
Now since the children have flesh and blood in common, Jesus also shared in these, so that through Hishis death Hehe might destroy the one holding the power of death — that is, the Devildevil — |
| 2:16 |
For it is clear that Hehe does not reach out to help angels, but to help Abraham’s offspring. |
| 2:17 |
Therefore, Hehe had to be like Hishis brothers and sisters in every way, so that Hehe could become a merciful and faithful high priest in servicematters pertaining to God, to make propitiationatonement for the sins of the people. |
| 2:18 |
For since Hehe Himselfhimself washas testedsuffered andwhen hashe sufferedwas tempted, Hehe is able to help those who are testedtempted. |
| 3:1 |
Therefore, holy brothers and companionssisters, who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession;. |
| 3:2 |
He was faithful to the Oneone who appointed Himhim, just as Moses was in all God’s household. |
| 3:4 |
Now every house is built by someone, but the Oneone who built everything is God. |
| 3:6 |
But Christ was faithful as a Son over Hishis household. And we are that household if we hold on to theour courageconfidence and the confidencehope ofin ourwhich hopewe boast. |
| 3:7 |
Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: Today, if you hear Hishis voice, |
| 3:8 |
do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness, |
| 3:9 |
where your fathersancestors tested Meme, tried Meme, and saw Mymy works |
| 3:10 |
for 40forty years. Therefore I was provoked to anger with that generation and said, “They always go astray in their hearts, and they have not known Mymy ways.” |
| 3:11 |
So I swore in Mymy anger, “They will not enter Mymy rest.” |
| 3:12 |
Watch out, brothers and sisters, so that there won’t be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart that departsturns away from the living God. |
| 3:14 |
For we have become companionsparticipants ofin theChrist Messiah if we hold firmly until the end the reality that we had at the start. |
| 3:15 |
As it is said: Today, if you hear Hishis voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion. |
| 3:16 |
For who heard and rebelled? Wasn’t it really all who came out of Egypt under Moses? |
| 3:17 |
AndWith whowhom was HeGod provokedangry with for 40forty years? WasWasn’t it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? |
| 3:18 |
And whoto whom did Hehe swear to that they would not enter Hishis rest, if not to those who disobeyed? |
| 4:1 |
Therefore, whilesince the promise to enter Hishis rest remains, let us fearbeware that none of you shouldbe missfound itto have fallen short. |
| 4:2 |
For we also have received the good news just as they did;. butBut the message they heard did not benefit them, since they were not united with those who heard it in faith. |
| 4:3 |
(forFor we who have believed enter the rest), in keeping with what Hehe has said:, So I swore in Mymy anger, they“They will not enter Mymy rest.,” Andeven yetthough Hishis works have been finished since the foundation of the world,. |
| 4:4 |
forFor somewhere Hehe has spoken about the seventh day in this way: And on the seventh day God rested from all Hishis works. |
| 4:5 |
Again, in that passage Hehe says, They will never enter Mymy rest. |
| 4:6 |
SinceTherefore, since it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news did not enter because of disobedience, |
| 4:7 |
he again, He specifies a certain day — today—. He specified this speaking through David after such a long time, as previously stated: Today, if you hear Hishis voice, do not harden your hearts. |
| 4:10 |
For the person who has entered Hishis rest has rested from his own works, just as God did from Hishis. |
| 4:11 |
Let us, then, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall into the same pattern of disobedience. |
| 4:12 |
For the word of God is living and effective and sharper than any double-edged sword, penetrating as far as the separation of soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It is able to judge the ideasthoughts and thoughtsintentions of the heart. |
| 4:13 |
No creature is hidden from Himhim, but all things are naked and exposed to the eyes of Himhim to whom we must give an account. |
| 4:14 |
Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens — Jesus the Son of God — let us hold fast to theour confession. |
| 4:15 |
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but Oneone who has been testedtempted in every way as we are, yet without sin. |
| 4:16 |
Therefore, let us approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us atin thetime properof timeneed. |
| 5:1 |
For every high priest taken from among men is appointed in servicematters pertaining to God for the people, to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins. |
| 5:2 |
He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray, since he is also subjectclothed towith weakness. |
| 5:3 |
Because of this, he must make aan sin offering for himselfhis own sins as well as for the people. |
| 5:5 |
In the same way, theChrist Messiah did not exalt Himselfhimself to become a high priest, but theGod One who said to Himhim, You are Mymy Son; today I have become Youryour Father, |
| 5:6 |
also saidsays in another passageplace, You are a priest forever inaccording to the order of Melchizedek. |
| 5:7 |
During Hishis earthly life, Hehe offered prayers and appeals with loud cries and tears to the Oneone who was able to save Himhim from death, and Hehe was heard because of Hishis reverence. |
| 5:8 |
ThoughAlthough Hehe was God’sthe Son, Hehe learned obedience throughfrom what Hehe suffered. |
| 5:9 |
After Hehe was perfected, Hehe became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey Himhim, |
| 5:10 |
and Hehe was declared by God a high priest inaccording to the order of Melchizedek. |
| 5:11 |
We have a great deal to say about this, and it’s is difficult to explain, since you have become too lazy to understand. |
| 5:14 |
But solid food is for the mature — for those whose senses have been trained to distinguish between good and evil. |
| 6:1 |
Therefore, leavinglet us leave the elementary messageteaching about theChrist Messiah,and let us go on to maturity, not laying again thea foundation of repentance from dead works, faith in God, |
| 6:4 |
For it is impossible to renew to repentance those who were once enlightened, who tasted the heavenly gift, becamewho companionsshared within the Holy Spirit, |
| 6:5 |
who tasted God’s good word and the powers of the coming age, |
| 6:6 |
and who have fallen away,. This is because, to their own harm, they are recrucifying the Son of God and holding Himhim up to contempt. |
| 6:7 |
For the ground that hasdrinks drunk the rain that has often fallenfalls on it and that produces vegetation useful to those for whom it is cultivated for receives a blessing from God. |
| 6:8 |
But if it produces thorns and thistles, it is worthless and about to be cursed, and at the end will be burned. at the end. |
| 6:9 |
Even though we are speaking this way, deardearly loved friends, in your case we are confident of thethings that are better thingsand connectedthat withpertain to salvation. |
| 6:10 |
For God is not unjust; Hehe will not forget your work and the love you showeddemonstrated for Hishis name whenby youserving served the saints — and youby continuecontinuing to serve them. |
| 6:11 |
Now we wantdesire each of you to demonstrate the same diligence for the finalfull realizationassurance of your hope until the end, |
| 6:13 |
For when God made a promise to Abraham, since Hehe had no one greater to swear by, Hehe swore by Himselfhimself: |
| 6:16 |
For menpeople swear by something greater than themselves, and for them a confirming oath ends every dispute. |
| 6:17 |
Because God wanted to show Hishis unchangeable purpose even more clearly to the heirs of the promise, Hehe guaranteed it with an oath, |
| 6:19 |
We have this hope as an anchor for ourthe livessoul, safefirm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain. |
| 6:20 |
Jesus has entered there on our behalf as a forerunner, because Hehe has become a high priest forever inaccording to the order of Melchizedek. |
| 7:1 |
For this Melchizedek—, Kingking of Salem, priest of theGod Most High God, who met Abraham and blessed him as he returned from defeating the kings, |
| 7:2 |
and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything;. firstFirst, his name means king of righteousness, then also, king of Salem, meaning king of peace;. |
| 7:3 |
withoutWithout father, mother, or genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but resembling the Son of God—, he remains a priest forever. |
| 7:4 |
Now consider how great this man was—: even Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth of the plunder to him!. |
| 7:5 |
The sons of Levi who receive the priestly office have a command according to the law to collect a tenth from the people — that is, from their brothers and sisters — though they have also descended from Abraham. |
| 7:6 |
But one without this lineage collected tenthsa tenth from Abraham and blessed the one who had the promises. |
| 7:8 |
In the one case, men who will die receive tenthsa tenth, but in the other case, Scripture testifies that he lives. |
| 7:9 |
And in a sense Levi himself, who receives tenthsa tenth, has paid tenthsa tenth through Abraham, |
| 7:11 |
IfNow then,if perfection came through the Levitical priesthood (for underon the basis of it the people received the law), what further need was there for another priest to appear, said to be inaccording to the order of Melchizedek and not inaccording to the order of Aaron? |
| 7:13 |
For the Oneone these things are spoken about belonged to a different tribe. No one from it has served at the altar. |
| 7:16 |
who did not become a priest based on a legal commandregulation concerningabout physical descent but based on the power of an indestructible life. |
| 7:17 |
For it has been testified: You are a priest forever inaccording to the order of Melchizedek. |
| 7:21 |
but Hehe became a priest with an oath made by the Oneone who said to Himhim: The Lord has sworn, and He will not change Hishis mind, “You are a priest forever..” |
| 7:22 |
SoBecause of this oath, Jesus has also become the guarantee of a better covenant. |
| 7:24 |
But because Hehe remains forever, Hehe holds Hishis priesthood permanently. |
| 7:25 |
Therefore, Hehe is always able to save completely those who come to God through Himhim, since Hehe always lives to intercede for them. |
| 7:27 |
He doesn’t need to offer sacrifices every day, as high priests do — first for their own sins, then for those of the people. He did this once for all time when Hehe offered Himselfhimself. |
| 8:3 |
For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; therefore, it was necessary for this priest also to have something to offer. |
| 8:4 |
Now if Hehe were on earth, Hehe wouldn’t be a priest, since there are those offering the gifts prescribed by the law. |
| 8:6 |
But Jesus has now obtained a superior ministry, and to that degree Hehe is the mediator of a better covenant, which has been legallyestablished enacted on better promises. |
| 8:8 |
But finding fault with Hishis people, Hehe says: LookSee, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah — |
| 8:9 |
not like the covenant that I made with their ancestors on the day I took them by theirthe handshand to lead them out of the land of Egypt. I disregardedshowed no concern for them, says the Lord, because they did not continue in Mymy covenant. |
| 8:10 |
But For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put Mymy laws into their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be Mymy people. |
| 8:11 |
And each person will not teach his fellow citizen, and each his brother or sister, saying, “Know the Lord,” because they will all know Meme, from the least to the greatest of them. |
| 8:12 |
For I will beforgive merciful to their wrongdoing, and I will never again remember their sins. |
| 8:13 |
By saying, a new covenant, Hehe has declared that the first is oldobsolete. And what is oldobsolete and aginggrowing old is about to disappearpass away. |
| 9:3 |
Behind the second curtain, thewas tabernaclea wastent called the most holy place. |
| 9:4 |
It containedhad the gold altar of incense and the ark of the covenant, covered with gold on all sides, in which there was a gold jar containing the manna, Aaron’s staff that budded, and the tablets of the covenant. |
| 9:5 |
The cherubim of glory were above itthe ark overshadowing the mercy seat. It is not possible to speak about these things in detail right now. |
| 9:6 |
With these things setprepared uplike this way, the priests enter the first room repeatedly, performing their ministry. |
| 9:7 |
But the high priest alone enters the second room, and he does that only once a year, and never without blood, which he offers for himself and for the sins of the people had committed in ignorance. |
| 9:10 |
They are physical regulations and only deal with food, drink, and various washings imposed until the time of restorationthe new order. |
| 9:11 |
But theChrist Messiah has appeared, as a high priest of the good things that have come. In the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands (that is, not of this creation), |
| 9:12 |
Hehe entered the most holy place once for all time, not by the blood of goats and calves, but by Hishis own blood, having obtained eternal redemption. |
| 9:14 |
how much more will the blood of the MessiahChrist, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himselfhimself without blemish to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works toso that we can serve the living God? |
| 9:15 |
Therefore, Hehe is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance, because a death has taken place for redemption from the transgressions committed under the first covenant. |
| 9:17 |
For a will is valid only when people die, since it is never in forceeffect while the one who made it is living. |
| 9:20 |
saying, This is the blood of the covenant that God has commandedordained for you. |
| 9:23 |
Therefore, it was necessary for the copies of the things in the heavens to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves to be purified with better sacrifices than these. |
| 9:24 |
For theChrist Messiah did not enter a sanctuary made with hands (only a model of the true one) but into heaven itself, so that Hehe might now appear in the presence of God for us. |
| 9:25 |
He did not do this to offer Himselfhimself many times, as the high priest enters the sanctuary yearly with the blood of another. |
| 9:26 |
Otherwise, Hehe would have had to suffer many times since the foundation of the world. But now Hehe has appeared one time, at the end of the ages, for the removal of sin by the sacrifice of Himselfhimself. |
| 9:27 |
And just as it is appointed for people to die once — and after this, judgment — |
| 9:28 |
so also the MessiahChrist, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Himhim. |
| 10:1 |
Since the law has only a shadow of the good things to come, and not the actualreality formitself of those realitiesthings, it can never perfect the worshipers by the same sacrifices they continually offer year after year. |
| 10:2 |
Otherwise, wouldn’t they have stopped being offered, since the worshipers, purified once purifiedand for all, would no longer have any consciousness of sins? |
| 10:3 |
But in the sacrifices there is a reminder of sins everyyear after year. |
| 10:5 |
Therefore, as Hehe was coming into the world, Hehe said: You did not wantdesire sacrifice and offering, but Youyou prepared a body for Meme. |
| 10:6 |
You did not delight in whole burnt offerings and sin offerings. |
| 10:7 |
Then I said, “See — it is written about Meme in the volumescroll of the scroll— I have come to do Youryour will, God!”.” |
| 10:8 |
After Hehe says above, You did not wantdesire or delight in sacrifices and offerings, whole burnt offerings and sin offerings (which are offered according to the law), |
| 10:9 |
Hehe then says, See, I have come to do Youryour will. He takes away the first to establish the second. |
| 10:10 |
By this will of God, we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once and for all time. |
| 10:13 |
He is now waiting until Hishis enemies are made Hishis footstool. |
| 10:14 |
For by one offering Hehe has perfected forever those who are sanctified. |
| 10:15 |
The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. For after Hehe says: |
| 10:16 |
This is the covenant I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: says, I will put Mymy laws on their hearts and write them on their minds, |
| 10:17 |
HeandI adds: I will never again remember their sins and their lawless acts. |
| 10:19 |
Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have boldness to enter the sanctuary through the blood of Jesus, — |
| 10:20 |
byhe has inaugurated for us a new and living way He has opened for us through the curtain (that is, Histhrough his flesh), — |
| 10:22 |
let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed in pure water. |
| 10:23 |
Let us hold on to the confession of our hope without wavering, forsince Hehe who promised is faithful. |
| 10:24 |
And let us beconsider concerned about one another in order to promoteprovoke love and good works, |
| 10:25 |
not stayingneglecting awayto fromgather our worship meetingstogether, as some habituallyare doin the habit of doing, but encouraging each other, and all the more as you see the day drawingapproaching. near. |
| 10:26 |
For if we deliberately singo on sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, |
| 10:28 |
IfAnyone anyonewho disregardsdisregarded Moses’the law, heof diesMoses died without mercy, based on the testimony of two or three witnesses. |
| 10:29 |
How much worse punishment do you think one will deserve who has trampled on the Son of God, who has regarded as profane the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? |
| 10:30 |
For we know the Oneone who has said, Vengeance belongs to Me,me; I will repay, and again, The Lord will judge Hishis people. |
| 10:31 |
It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God!. |
| 10:34 |
For you sympathized with the prisoners and accepted with joy the confiscation of your possessions, knowingbecause you know that you yourselves have a better and enduring possession. |
| 10:38 |
But Mymy righteous one will live by faith; and if he draws back, I have no pleasure in him. |
| 10:39 |
But we are not those who draw back and are destroyed, but those who have faith and obtainare lifesaved. |
| 11:2 |
For by this our ancestors wonwere God’sapproved. approval by it. |
| 11:3 |
By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God’s command, so that what is seen haswas been made from things that are not visible. |
| 11:5 |
By faith Enoch was taken away, and so he did not experience death,. andHe he was not to be found because God took him away. For priorbefore tohe hiswas removaltaken away, he was approved, sinceas heone hadwho pleased God. |
| 11:6 |
Now without faith it is impossible to please God, forsince the one who draws near to Himhim must believe that Hehe exists and that he rewards those who seek Himhim. |
| 11:8 |
By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed and wentset out tofor a place that he was going to receive as an inheritance. He went out, even though he did not knowingknow where he was going. |
| 11:9 |
By faith he stayed as a foreigner in the land of promise, living in tents withas did Isaac and Jacob, coheirs of the same promise. |
| 11:11 |
By faith even Sarah herself, when she was unable to have children, received power to conceive offspring, even though she was past the age, since she considered that the Oneone who had promised was faithful. |
| 11:12 |
Therefore, from one man — in fact, from one as good as dead — came offspring as numerous as the stars of heaventhe sky and as innumerable as the grains of sand byalong the seashore. |
| 11:13 |
These all died in faith, withoutalthough havingthey had not received the promises,things butthat were promised. But they saw them from a distance, greeted them, and confessed that they were foreigners and temporary residents on the earth. |
| 11:16 |
But they now desire a better place — a heavenly one. Therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God, for Hehe has prepared a city for them. |
| 11:17 |
By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac. He received the promises and yet he was offering his uniqueone and only son, |
| 11:18 |
the one to whom it had been said about, Your seedoffspring will be traced through Isaac. |
| 11:19 |
He considered God to be able even to raise someone from the dead,; and as an illustrationtherefore, he received him back, figuratively speaking. |
| 11:23 |
By faith Moses, after Moseshe was born, he was hidden by his parents for three months, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they didn’t fear the king’s edict. |
| 11:25 |
and chose to suffer with the people of God rather than to enjoy the short-livedfleeting pleasure of sin. |
| 11:26 |
For he considered reproach for the reproachsake because of theChrist Messiah to be greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, since hishe attention was onlooking ahead to the reward. |
| 11:27 |
By faith he left Egypt behind, not being afraid of the king’s anger, for Moses persevered as one who sees Himhim who is invisible. |
| 11:30 |
By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after being encircledmarched around by the Israelites for seven days. |
| 11:31 |
By faith Rahab the prostitute receivedwelcomed the spies in peace and didn’t perish with those who disobeyed. |
| 11:34 |
quenched the raging of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, gained strength afterin being weakweakness, became mighty in battle, and put foreign armies to flight. |
| 11:35 |
Women received their dead—they, were raised to life again. SomeOther menpeople were tortured, not accepting release, so that they might gain a better resurrection,. |
| 11:36 |
andOthers others experienced mockings and scourgings, as well as bonds and imprisonment. |
| 12:1 |
Therefore, since we also have such a large cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us lay aside every weighthindrance and the sin that so easily ensnares us. Let us run with endurance the race that lies before us, |
| 12:2 |
keeping our eyes on Jesus, the sourcepioneer and perfecter of our faith,. whoFor for the joy that lay before Himhim, he endured athe cross, anddespising despised the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of God’sthe throne of God. |
| 12:3 |
For consider Himhim who endured such hostility from sinners against Himselfhimself, so that you won’t grow weary and losegive heartup. |
| 12:5 |
And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: My son, do not take the Lord’s discipline lightly or faintlose heart when you are reproved by Himhim, |
| 12:6 |
for the Lord disciplines the one Hehe loves and punishes every son Hehe receives. |
| 12:8 |
But if you are without discipline — which all receive — then you are illegitimate children and not sons. |
| 12:9 |
Furthermore, we had naturalhuman fathers discipline us, and we respected them. Shouldn’t we submit even more to the Father of spirits and live? |
| 12:10 |
For they disciplined us for a short time based on what seemed good to them, but Hehe does it for our benefit, so that we can share Hishis holiness. |
| 12:11 |
No discipline seems enjoyable at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it yields the peaceful fruit of peace and righteousness to those who have been trained by it. |
| 12:12 |
Therefore, strengthen your tired hands and weakened knees, |
| 12:14 |
Pursue peace with everyone, and holiness — without it no one will see the Lord. |
| 12:15 |
Make sure that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no root of bitterness springs up, causing trouble and by it, defiling many. |
| 12:16 |
And make sure that there isn’t any immoral or irreverent person like Esau, who sold his birthright in exchange for onea single meal. |
| 12:17 |
For you know that later, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, even though he sought it with tears, because he didn’t find any opportunity for repentance,. though he sought it with tears. |
| 12:19 |
