whom God has set forth as a propitiatory sacrifice, through faith in his blood, in order to manifest his righteousness, in passing by the sins that were formerly committed through the forbearance of God;

Who is he that condemns? It is Christ that died: rather, indeed, that has risen, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.

Brethren, I speak of things common among men: No one sets a covenant aside, or enjoins any thing additional after it is confirmed, though it be a man's covenant. Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his offspring; he does not say: And to offsprings, as if he spoke of many; but as of one, And to your offspring, which is Christ. read more. And this I affirm, that the covenant which had been before confirmed by God with respect to Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, could not annul so as to make the promise of no effect. For if the inheritance be by law, it is no longer by promise: but God bestowed it on Abraham by promise. What, then, was the purpose of the law? It was added on account of transgressions, (till the offspring should come, to whom the promise was made,) having been appointed through the service of angels, in the hand of a mediator.

What, then, was the purpose of the law? It was added on account of transgressions, (till the offspring should come, to whom the promise was made,) having been appointed through the service of angels, in the hand of a mediator. Now, a mediator for one is impossible; but God is one.

Now, a mediator for one is impossible; but God is one.

I exhort, therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings, and for all that are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and gravity.

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself a ransom for all, of which the testimony has been given in its proper times,

"Wherefore, it behooved him to be made like his brethren in all things, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, in order to make expiation for the sins of the people.

Seeing, then, that we have a great high priest, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he swore by himself, saying: Most surely will I abundantly bless you, and abundantly multiply you. read more. And so, when he had waited patiently, he received the promises. For, verily, men swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all contradiction. Wherefore, God, being more abundantly willing to show to the heirs of his promise the immutability of his purpose, inter posed an oath,

Wherefore, God, being more abundantly willing to show to the heirs of his promise the immutability of his purpose, inter posed an oath, that by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled to lay hold on the hope set before us;

Wherefore, he is able also to save through all time those who come to God by him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.

For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore, it is necessary that this one also have something which he may offer.

and these serve the copy and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: See now, says he, that you make all things according to the pattern shown you in the mount. But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as he is the mediator of a better covenant, which is established with reference to better promises.

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:

And for this reason, he is the mediator of the new covenant: that, since his death has taken place for the redemption of transgressions that were under the former covenant, those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

And for this reason, he is the mediator of the new covenant: that, since his death has taken place for the redemption of transgressions that were under the former covenant, those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than the blood of Abel.

and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than the blood of Abel.

Confess your faults one to another, and pray for one another, that you may be restored to health: the fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
