They will be rolled up like a cloth, even like a robe, and they will be changed: but you are the same and your years will have no end.

We must, therefore, pay even more attention to what we have heard, so that we will not drift away.

But we behold him who hath been made a little lower than the angels, even Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for every man .

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, even Jesus;

Who kept faith with God who gave him his place, even as Moses did in all his house.

And it was right for this man to have more honour than Moses, even as the builder of a house has more honour than the house.

Wherefore, even as says the Holy Spirit, To-day if ye will hear his voice,

even though they had seen my actions for 40 years. That is why I was indignant with that generation and said, "They are always going astray in their hearts, and they have not known my ways.'

For if we keep the substance of the faith which we had at the start, even till the end, we have a part with Christ;

for we also are having good news proclaimed, even as they, but the word heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard,

For we who have believed do enter into that rest; even as he hath said, As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

even though his actions had been finished since the creation of the world. Somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day as follows: "On the seventh day God rested from all his actions,"

he again defineth a certain day, To-day, saying in David so long a time afterward (even as hath been said before), To-day if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts.

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Having then a great high priest, who has made his way through the heavens, even Jesus the Son of God, let us be strong in our faith.

and, on account of this infirmity, he ought, even as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

And no one takes the honour to himself but as called by God, even as Aaron also.

Even as also in another place he says, Thou art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedec.

Concerning this we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull and sluggish in [your spiritual] hearing and disinclined to listen.

for even owing to be teachers, because of the time, again ye have need that one teach you what are the elements of the beginning of the oracles of God, and ye have become having need of milk, and not of strong food,

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.

Even though we are speaking this way, dear friends, in your case we are confident of the better things connected with salvation.

And we desire that each one of you may show the same diligence unto the fulness of hope even to the end:

Because God wanted to show His unchangeable purpose even more clearly to the heirs of the promise, He guaranteed it with an oath,

Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.

The descendants of Levi who accept the priesthood have a commandment in the Law to collect a tenth from the people, that is, from their own brothers, even though they are also descendants of Abraham.

One might even say that Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham,

This point is even more obvious in that another priest who is like Melchizedek has appeared

Now if he were on earth, he would not even be a priest, because other men offer the gifts prescribed by the Law.

“For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of IsraelAfter those days, says the Lord:I will imprint My laws upon their minds [even upon their innermost thoughts and understanding],And engrave them upon their hearts [effecting their regeneration].And I will be their God,And they shall be My people.

Now even the first covenant had regulations for worship and an earthly sanctuary.

That is why even the first covenant was inaugurated with blood.

nor that he may many times offer himself, even as the chief priest doth enter into the holy places every year with blood of others;

so Christ, having been offered once and once for all to bear [as a burden] the sins of many, will appear a second time [when he returns to earth], not to deal with sin, but to bring salvation to those who are eagerly and confidently waiting for Him.

not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another even more as you see the day of the Lord coming nearer.

For you not only showed sympathy with those who were imprisoned, but you even submitted with joy when your property was taken from you, being well aware that you have in your own selves a more valuable possession and one which will remain.

But we are not of those who go back to destruction; but of those who have faith even to the salvation of the soul.

By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was approved as a righteous man, because God approved his gifts, and even though he is dead, he still speaks through his faith.

By faith [that pleased God] Enoch was caught up and taken to heaven so that he would not have a glimpse of death; and he was not found because God had taken him; for even before he was taken [to heaven], he received the testimony [still on record] that he had walked with God and pleased Him.

By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.

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 One who had promised was faithful.

Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.

But the truth is that they were longing for a better country, that is, a heavenly one. For that reason God is not ashamed [of them or] to be called their God [even to be surnamed their God—the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob]; for He has prepared a city for them.

even he to whom it was said, In Isaac shall thy seed be called:

Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.

By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even regarding things to come.

Still others endured taunts and floggings, and even chains and imprisonment.

For the Lord disciplines and corrects those whom He loves,And He punishes every son whom He receives and welcomes [to His heart].”

Furthermore, we had natural fathers discipline us, and we respected them. Shouldn’t we submit even more to the Father of spirits and live?

All chastening seemeth for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yieldeth peaceable fruit unto them that have been exercised thereby, even the fruit of righteousness.

For you know that afterwards, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected because he could not find any opportunity to repent, even though he begged to repent with tears.

for they could not bear what was commanded: And if even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned!

And the vision was so overpowering that even Moses said, I am shaking and full of fear.

But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels [in festive gathering],

Make sure that you do not reject the One who speaks. For if they did not escape when they rejected Him who warned them on earth, even less will we if we turn away from Him who warns us from heaven.
