How

For I know how rebellious and stiff-necked you are. If you are rebelling against the Lord now, while I am still alive, how much more will you rebel after I am dead!

How much more when wicked men kill a righteous man in his own house on his own bed! So now, should I not require his blood from your hands and wipe you off the earth?”

how much less one who is revolting and corrupt,
who drinks injustice like water?

If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

Consider the ravens: They don’t sow or reap; they don’t have a storeroom or a barn; yet God feeds them. Aren’t you worth much more than the birds?

Now if their stumbling brings riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full number bring!

Who

“This is My Servant; I strengthen Him,
this is My Chosen One; I delight in Him.
I have put My Spirit on Him;
He will bring justice to the nations.

The Spirit of the Lord God is on Me,
because the Lord has anointed Me
to bring good news to the poor.
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives
and freedom to the prisoners;

If I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you.

The Spirit of the Lord is on Me,
because He has anointed Me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent Me

to proclaim freedom

to the captives

to set free the oppressed,

For God sent Him, and He speaks God’s words, since He gives the Spirit without measure.

until the day He was taken up, after He had given orders through the Holy Spirit to the apostles He had chosen.

how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how He went about doing good and healing all who were under the tyranny of the Devil, because God was with Him.

and who has been declared to be the powerful Son of God by the resurrection from the dead according to the Spirit of holiness.

For Christ also suffered for sins once for all,

the righteous for the unrighteous,
that He might bring you to God,
after being put to death in the fleshly realm

but made alive in the spiritual realm.

Eternal

The God of old is your dwelling place,
and underneath are the everlasting arms.
He drives out the enemy before you
and commands, “Destroy!”

For the High and Exalted One
who lives forever, whose name is Holy says this:
“I live in a high and holy place,
and with the oppressed and lowly of spirit,
to revive the spirit of the lowly
and revive the heart of the oppressed.

But Yahweh is the true God;
He is the living God and eternal King.
The earth quakes at His wrath,
and the nations cannot endure His rage.

For His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen since the creation of the world, being understood through what He has made. As a result, people are without excuse.

Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

Offered

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 committed in ignorance.

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 when He offered Himself.

just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life—a ransom for many.”

made us alive with the Messiah even though we were dead in trespasses. You are saved by grace!

And walk in love, as the Messiah also loved us and gave Himself for us, a sacrificial and fragrant offering to God.

He gave Himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to cleanse for Himself a people for His own possession, eager to do good works.

He Himself bore our sins
in His body on the tree,
so that, having died to sins,
we might live for righteousness;
you have been healed by His wounds.

For Christ also suffered for sins once for all,

the righteous for the unrighteous,
that He might bring you to God,
after being put to death in the fleshly realm

but made alive in the spiritual realm.

Purge

This is a symbol for the present time, during which gifts and sacrifices are offered that cannot perfect the worshiper’s conscience.

The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact expression of His nature, sustaining all things by His powerful word. After making purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.

Otherwise, wouldn’t they have stopped being offered, since the worshipers, once purified, would no longer have any consciousness of sins?

Dead works

Therefore, leaving the elementary message about the Messiah, let us go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, faith in God,

To serve

since we have been rescued
from our enemies’ clutches,
to serve Him without fear

And do not offer any parts of it to sin as weapons for unrighteousness. But as those who are alive from the dead, offer yourselves to God, and all the parts of yourselves to God as weapons for righteousness.
