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;

Now about the angels he says, "He makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire."

Now to which of the angels has He ever said:

Sit at My right hand
until I make Your enemies Your footstool?

how will we escape [the penalty] if we ignore such a great salvation [the gospel, the new covenant]? For it was spoken at first by the Lord, and it was confirmed to us and proved authentic by those who personally heard [Him speak],

You have put all things in subjection under his feet." For in that he subjected all things to him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we do not see all things subjected to him, yet.

What we do see is Jesus, who was made for a time a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor, because of the suffering of death, in order that through God's grace he might taste death for every man.

Now since the children have flesh and blood in common, Jesus also shared in these, so that through His death He might destroy the one holding the power of death—that is, the Devil—

no house is without a builder; now he that built the whole house of Israel is God.

Now the faithfulness of Moses in all the house of God was that of a servant, in faithfully repeating what he was told to say;

but Christ is faithful as a Son over His [Father’s] house. And we are His house if we hold fast our confidence and sense of triumph in our hope [in Christ].

For we now all share in the Christ, if indeed we retain, unshaken to the end, the confidence that we had at the first.

Now who heard him and provoked him? Was it not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?

Upon that Rest we who have believed are now entering. As God has said-- 'In my wrath I swore--"They shall never enter upon my Rest;"' Although God's work was finished at the creation of the world;

he pointed out another time in the words, which were spoken by David, a long time after their going into Canaan, in the passage just now quoted, "today since ye hear his voice, harden not your hearts."

Now if Joshua had given 'Rest' to the people, God would not have spoken of another and later day.

Now on this subject I have much to say, but it is difficult to explain it to you, because you have shown yourselves so slow to learn.

In fact, though by now you should be teachers, you still need someone to teach you the basic truths of God's word. You have become people who need milk instead of solid food.

now he that is disciplined like a child, is not prepared for the doctrine of justification:

Wherefore, let us leave the doctrine pertaining to the beginning of a Christian man, and let us go unto perfection, and now no more lay the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

Now we will do this, if God lets us.

For land that has drunk the showers that now and again fall upon it, and produced vegetation useful for those for whom it was tilled, receives a blessing from God;

But, beloved, even though we speak to you in this way, we are convinced of better things concerning you, and of things that accompany salvation.

Now we want each of you to demonstrate the same diligence for the final realization of your hope,

so that you may not grow careless, but may follow the example of those who through their faith and patient endurance are now possessors of the blessings promised.

Now when God made his promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no one greater, he swore by himself,

This hope [this confident assurance] we have as an anchor of the soul [it cannot slip and it cannot break down under whatever pressure bears upon it]—a safe and steadfast hope that enters within the veil [of the heavenly temple, that most Holy Place in which the very presence of God dwells],

Now this man Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest of the Most High God, met Abraham and blessed him when he was returning from defeating the kings.

Abraham measured out one tenth of everything he had [taken in battle] and gave it to Melchizedek. (Now "Melchizedek" means, first of all, "King of Righteousness," and then [since he was] King of Salem, it also means "King of Peace").

Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the best spoils.

Now those of the sons of Levi who are appointed to the priesthood, are authorized by the Law to take tithes of the people, that is, of their brothers, and that too, although these are descended from Abraham.

Now it is beyond all controversy that the inferior is always blessed by the superior.

Now at the present time, men over whom death has power take the tenth; but then it was taken by one of whom it is witnessed that he is living.

And I might almost say, Levi too, who now collects the tenth, through Abraham paid the tenth,

Now if there was perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people have received the law), what further need was there for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

Now no doubt, if the priesthood be translated, then of necessity must the law be translated also.

Now He, of whom these things are said, is of another tribe, of which none ever attended at the altar..

Now it is evident that our Lord came from Judah, and Moses said nothing about that tribe concerning priests.

(for the Law never made anything perfect); while on the other hand a better hope is introduced through which we now continually draw near to God.

Now none of this happened without an oath. Others became priests without any oath,

Now many have become Levitical priests, since they are prevented by death from remaining in office.

Now in the things which we are saying, the main point is this. We have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

Now every high priest is given authority to take to God the things which are given and to make offerings; so that it is necessary for this man, like them, to have something for an offering.

Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, seeing there are priests who offer the gifts according to the Law;

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, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which on better promises has been given as Law.

In calling it a new covenant, he hath made the first antiquated. Now what is antiquated and grown aged, is near evanescence.

Now indeed even the first covenant had ordinances of divine service, and an earthly sanctuary.

and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat, of which things we cannot speak now in detail.

Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services,

And this is a figure--for the time now present--answering to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, unable though they are to give complete freedom from sin to him who ministers.

But now Christ has come as the high priest of the good things of the future, through this greater and better Tent, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this world,

For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.

Now, while the copies of the heavenly things had to be cleansed with sacrifices like these, the heavenly things themselves required nobler sacrifices.

For Christ hasn't entered into holy places made with hands, which are representations of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;

or else he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world. But now once at the end of the ages, he has been revealed to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

NOW the law, having a shadow of the good things which were to come, not the very substance of the things, cannot possibly, by the same sacrifices which they offer year by year continually, make those perfect who approach [God];

For then would not the sacrifices have ceased to be offered, because the consciences of the worshippers--who in that case would now have been cleansed once for all--would no longer be burdened with sins?

Every priest stands day after day ministering and offering the same sacrifices time after time, which can never take away sins.

from now on waiting until his enemies are made a footstool for his feet.

Now the Holy Ghost also beareth this testimony to us: for after declaring before,

Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

And let us not, as some do, cease to meet together; but, on the contrary, let us encourage one another, and all the more, now that you see the Day drawing near.

But continually recall to mind the days now past, when on being first enlightened you went through a great conflict and many sufferings.

Now do not fling away your bold confidence, for it has a great recompense of reward.

For in a little, a very little now, The Coming One will arrive without delay.

Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

Now, we do not belong to those who turn back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.

Now faith is being confident of what we hope for, convinced about things we do not see.

By faith we understand that the worlds were exactly formed by the word of God, so that the visible objects were not made out of things which now appear.

now without faith it is impossible to please him; for he who comes to God must believe that he is, and that he ever rewards those who are seeking.

Now they who speak thus, shew evidently that they are in earnest search of their native country.

But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.

Having our eyes fixed on Jesus, the guide and end of our faith, who went through the pains of the cross, not caring for the shame, because of the joy which was before him, and who has now taken his place at the right hand of God's seat of power.

Now think about how Jesus endured such opposition against Himself from sinners, so that you do not grow weary and become discouraged [yourself].

Till now you have not given your blood in your fight against sin:

Now if you are without any discipline, in which all true sons share, you are only illegitimate children and not true sons.

Now if we had fathers of our flesh, who corrected us, and we gave them reverence; shall we not much more be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?

Now all correction at the moment seemeth not to be cause for joy, but for sorrow; but after a while it produceth peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have thereby been disciplined.

to the solemn gathering of all God's elder sons, enrolled as citizens in heaven, to a judge who is the God of all, to the spirits of upright men now at last enjoying the fulfilment of their hopes,

See to it that you do not refuse [to listen to] Him who is speaking [to you now]. For if those [sons of Israel] did not escape when they refused [to listen to] him who warned them on earth [revealing God’s will], how much less will we escape if we turn our backs on Him who warns from heaven?

whose voice shook the earth then, but now he has promised, saying, "Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heavens."

Now this word yet once more manifests the removal of the things shaken, as of things formed, that the things not shaken may endure.

Therefore, receiving, as we now do, a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us cherish thankfulness so that we may ever offer to God an acceptable service, with godly reverence and awe.

[Now] we [Christians] have an altar [i.e., the sacrifice of Christ] from which people who serve in the Tabernacle [i.e., the Jews] have no right to eat.

now, then, may we go forth unto him without the camp, his reproach bearing;

Now may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of an eternal covenant, our Lord Jesus,

Now I urge you, brothers, bear with my word of exhortation, for indeed I have written to you {briefly}.

You must understand that [our] brother Timotheus is now free. If he comes soon, he and I will see you together.
