For to whom of the angels said He at any time, "You are My Son; I this day have begotten you?" And again, "I will be to him a Father; and He shall be to me a Son?"

They shall perish, but Thou continuest; and they will all become old as does a garment;

and as a mantle Thou wilt roll them up, as a garment also they shall be changed; but Thou art the same, and Thy years shall not fail."

God testifying with them, both with signs and wonders and manifold miracles, and distributions of the Holy Spirit, according to His will?

saying, "I will declare Thy name to my brethren; in the midst of an assembly will I sing praise to Thee."

And again, "I will put my trust in Him." And again, "Behold, I and the children whom God gave me."

And this will we do, if, indeed, God permit.

saying, "Surely, blessing, I will bless you; and multiplying, I will multiply you."

(for they, indeed, have been made priests without an oath; but He with an oath through Him Who said to Him, "The Lord swore, and will not repent, Thou art a Priest forever");

for, finding fault with them, He saith, "Behold, the days are coming, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and the house of Judah;

Because this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: Putting My laws into their mind, I will also write them upon their hearts, and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to Me a people;

because I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and I will remember their sins no more."

so also Christ, having once for all been offered to bear the sins of many, will, to those who are eagerly waiting for Him; appear a second time apart from sin, unto salvation.

Then said I, 'Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it has been written concerning Me), to do Thy will, O God.'"

then hath He said, "Lo, I have come to do Thy will." He taketh away the first, that He may establish the second:

in which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

"This is the covenant that I will covenant with them after those days," saith the Lord, "Putting my laws on their hearts, I will also write them upon their mind;

and their sins and their iniquities I will in nowise remember any more."

For we know Him Who said, To Me belongs vengeance; I will recompense," saith the Lord; and again, "The Lord will judge His people."

For ye have need of patience, that, after having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise.

"For yet a little while, how short! how short! The Coming One will come, and will not tarry."

And what more am I to say? for the time will fail me, if I speak at length concerning Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David also, and of Samuel, and the prophets;

Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

Let your disposition be without fondness for money; content with the present things; for He Himself hath said, "I will in nowise leave you, neither will I in any wise forsake you."

So that with good courage we say, "The Lord is my Helper, I will not be afraid; what shall man do to me?"

make you perfect in every good thing to do His will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ; to Whom be the glory forever. Amen.

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