But now, at the end of these days, it has come to us through his Son, to whom he has given all things for a heritage, and through whom he made the order of the generations;

They will come to their end; but you are for ever; they will become old as a robe;

And like a robe You will roll them up;
Like a garment they will be changed.
But You are the same [forever],
And Your years will never end.”

For this reason there is the more need for us to give attention to the things which have come to our ears, for fear that by chance we might be slipping away.

What will come on us, if we do not give our minds to such a great salvation? a salvation of which our fathers first had knowledge through the words of the Lord, and which was made certain to us by those to whom his words came;

For he did not make the angels rulers over the world to come, of which I am writing.

But, as we know, a writer has solemnly said, "How poor a creature is man, and yet Thou dost remember him, and a son of man, and yet Thou dost come to him!

For, both the One who makes people holy [i.e., Jesus], and those who are made holy [i.e., Christians], all come from one [Father], and for this reason Christ is not ashamed to call them His brothers,

For, truly, he did not come to help the angels, but to help the seed of Abraham.

For since He Himself was tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted.

For he has come to deserve greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house deserves greater honor than the house itself!

While the faithful service of Moses in the whole House of God was that of a servant, whose duty was to bear testimony to a Message still to come,

And so, as the Holy Spirit says, Today if you let his voice come to your ears,

So I was indignant with that generation, and I said, 'Their hearts are always going astray, and they have never come to know my ways.'

And being angry I made an oath, saying, They may not come into my rest.

For we have come to share in Christ if we hold our first confidence firm to the end,

As it is said, Today if you will let his voice come to your ears, be not hard of heart, as when you made him angry.

For, who, though they heard, caused embitterment? Nay, indeed! did not all who come forth out of Egypt through Moses?

And to whom did he make an oath that they might not come into his rest? was it not to those who went against his orders?

And we see they could not come in through unbelief.

Let us be afraid therefore, lest, a promise being left behind to enter into his rest, any of you should seem to have come short.

For the Good News is come to us just as it did to them. But the message they heard was of no benefit to them, because they did not share the faith of those who gave heed to it.

For those of us who have belief come into his rest; even as he has said, As I said in my oath when I was angry, They may not come into my rest: though the works were done from the time of the making of the world.

And in the same place he says again, They will not come into my rest.

Since therefore it remains for some to come into it, and they before announced of the good news came not in through unbelief:

After a long time, again naming a certain day, he says in David, Today (as he had said before), Today if you will let his voice come to your ears, be not hard of heart,

which shows that the people of God have a sabbath still to come.

For he having come into his rest, he also has ceased from his works, as God from his own.

Because of this, let us have a strong desire to come into that rest, and let no one go after the example of those who went against God's orders.

Let us therefore come near with boldness to the throne of grace, so that we may take mercy, and may find grace for timely help.

For though by this time you ought to be teachers [because of the time you have had to learn these truths], you actually need someone to teach you again the elementary principles of God’s word [from the beginning], and you have come to be continually in need of milk, not solid food.

but firm food is for persons come to age, who by habit have their senses exercised to a discernment both of good and evil.

For it is impossible to arouse people to a fresh repentance when they have once for all come into the light and had a taste of the gift from heaven, and shared in the holy Spirit

and have experienced how good God's message is and the mighty powers of the age to come,

And so, having patiently waited, he realized the promise [in the miraculous birth of Isaac, as a pledge of what was to come from God].

Now indeed those of the sons of Levi who receive the priesthood have commandment to collect tithes from the people according to the law, that is, of their brothers, although having come out of the loins of Abraham.

for the priesthood being changed, of necessity also, of the law a change doth come,

And this is even more clear if a second priest has come up who is like Melchizedek,

for a disannulling indeed doth come of the command going before because of its weakness, and unprofitableness,

(Because the law made nothing complete), and in its place there is a better hope, through which we come near to God.

Whereupon he is able also to save to the uttermost those who come to God through him, being always alive in order to intercede on their behalf.

For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, That I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;

And these having been thus adjusted, the priests come continually into the first tabernacle, performing the services:

But Christ having come a high priest of the good things to come, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,

And for this cause it is through him that a new agreement has come into being, so that after the errors under the first agreement had been taken away by his death, the word of God might have effect for those who were marked out for an eternal heritage.

for where a covenant is, the death of the covenant-victim to come in is necessary,

For such a Covenant takes effect only upon death, it does not come into force as long as the testator is alive.

and with blood almost all things are purified according to the law, and apart from blood-shedding forgiveness doth not come.

For Christ did not come into the sanctuaries made with hands, the pattern of the true; but into heaven itself, now to be made manifest unto the face of God in our behalf:

For then he would have undergone a number of deaths from the time of the making of the world: but now he has come to us at the end of the old order, to put away sin by the offering of himself.

so Christ also, who was once [for all] offered [as a sacrifice] to take away the sins of many people, will come back a second time, not to take away sin, [but] to provide salvation to those who are waiting for Him.

For the law having a shadow of the good things to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect them that draw nigh.

For this reason, the Scriptures say, when the Messiah was about to come into the world: "You did not want sacrifices and offerings, but you prepared a body for me.

Then said I, Lo, I am come (In the roll of the book it is written of me) To do thy will, O God.

At first he says, "You never wished or cared for sacrifices or offerings, or burnt-offerings or sacrifices for sin"??ll of which the Law prescribes??9 and then he adds, "See, I have come to do your will!" He is taking away the old to put the new in its place.

then hath he said, Lo, I am come to do thy will. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.

let us approach [God] with a true and sincere heart in unqualified assurance of faith, having had our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

For yet a very little while, He that cometh shall come, and shall not tarry.

Now faith is the assurance that what we hope for will come about and the certainty that what we cannot see exists.

By faith we understand the ages to have been prepared by the word of God. For the things that are seen do not come to be from that which is visible.

But without faith it is impossible to [walk with God and] please Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He rewards those who [earnestly and diligently] seek Him.

By faith, being called, Abraham obeyed - to come forth into a place he was destined to receive for an inheritance; and he came forth, not well knowing whither he was coming.

And, if indeed of that they had been mindful, from which they had come out, they might, in that case, have had an opportunity, to return;

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

By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;

He considered the reproach of the Christ [that is, the rebuke he would suffer for his faithful obedience to God] to be greater wealth than all the treasures of Egypt; for he looked ahead to the reward [promised by God].

Women had their dead given back to them living; others let themselves be cruelly attacked, having no desire to go free, so that they might have a better life to come;

because God had us in mind and had something better for us, so that they [these men and women of authentic faith] would not be made perfect [that is, completed in Him] apart from us.

For this reason, as we are circled by so great a cloud of witnesses, putting off every weight, and the sin into which we come so readily, let us keep on running in the way which is marked out for us,

Looking with care to see that no man among you in his behaviour comes short of the grace of God; for fear that some bitter root may come up to be a trouble to you, and that some of you may be made unclean by it;

Ye know how that afterward when that he would have inherited the blessing, he was put by, and he found no means to come thereby again: no, though he desired it with tears.

For ye are not come unto a mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, and unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,

and so fearful was the sight, that Moses said, I fear and tremble,??22 but you have come to Zion, the mountain and city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels in general assembly,

but ye are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable hosts of angels,

and to the church of the firstborn ones [i.e., those who have received an inheritance from their Father], whose names are recorded in heaven. [See Luke 10:20]. [You have come] to God, who is the Judge of all people, and to the spirits of righteous people who have become [morally] perfect [i.e., that great company of God's people who have gone on to their heavenly reward],

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and to-day, and to the ages to come.

Therefore we should come to him without the camp, bearing his reproach.

For we have not here an abiding city, but we seek after the city which is to come.

Now may the God of peace, who made that great keeper of his flock, even our Lord Jesus, come back from the dead through the blood of the eternal agreement,

Know ye that our brother Timothy hath been set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.

Greet all your leaders and all the saints. Those who come from Italy send you greetings.
