Hebrews

That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:

For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.

But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.

For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:

If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

And this will we do, if God permit.

Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.

For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.

Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.

And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;

Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;

As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.

And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.

And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.

For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
