How

If then you, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him?

Consider the ravens, that they neither sow nor reap; which have neither storehouse nor granary; yet God feeds them: you are of far more value than the birds.

Now, if their fall be the riches of the world, and their loss be the riches of the Gentiles, how much more shall their full acceptance be the riches of the world?

Who

But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has already come upon you.

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he has sent me to heal the broken hearted; to proclaim liberty to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind; to set free the oppressed;

For he whom God has sent, speaks the words of God; for God gives not the Spirit by measure to him.

till the day on which he was taken up, after he had, through the Holy Spirit, given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen.

how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit, and with power; who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the devil; for God was with him.

but declared to be the Son of God with power, according to his holy spiritual nature, by his resurrection from the dead,

For Christ also once suffered for sins, the Just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, having been put to death in flesh, but made alive in spirit;

Eternal

(for, since the creation of the world, his attributes, which are invisible, are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, both his eternal power and divinity,) that they may be without excuse;

Now to the King of the ages, the incorruptible, invisible, only wise God, be honor and glory from age to age. Amen.)

Offered

But into the second, the high priest alone went, once during the year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:

who needs not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.

even as the Son of man came, not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

made alive with Christ even us, being dead to our offenses, (by grace you are saved,)

and walk in love, as the Christ also loved us, and gave him self for us as an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet odor.

who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

He himself bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. By his stripes you were healed.

For Christ also once suffered for sins, the Just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, having been put to death in flesh, but made alive in spirit;

Purge

which, as a symbol, remains to the present time, in which are offered both gifts and sacrifices that can not make perfect, as it respects the conscience, him that does the service;

who, being the effulgence of his glory and the exact representation of his essence, and upholding all things by his own powerful word, when he had by himself made expiation for our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

for then, would they not have ceased to be offered? because the worshipers, after being once cleansed, would no longer have a consciousness of sins.

Dead works

Therefore, omitting the elementary Christian teaching, let us go on to the perfection of Christian instruction, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

To serve

that he would grant to us, that being delivered from the hands of our enemies, we might serve him without fear,

and present not your members to sin, as instruments of unrighteousness: but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead; and your members to God, as instruments of righteousness.

For, through law, I have died to law, that I might live to God.

For they themselves declare concerning us what kind of entrance we had to you, and how you turned to God from idols, to serve the living and true God,

so that he no longer lives the rest of his time in the flesh, according to the desires of men, but according to the will of God.
