God bearing, besides, witness with them to it, both by signs and wonders, and various acts of power, and distributions of the Holy Spirit, according to his will?

saying, I will declare thy name to my brethren; in the midst of the assembly will I sing thy praises.

And again, I will trust in him. And again, Behold, I and the children which God has given me.

Wherefore, even as says the Holy Spirit, To-day if ye will hear his voice,

in that it is said, To-day if ye will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the provocation;

again he determines a certain day, saying, in David, 'To-day,' after so long a time; (according as it has been said before), To-day, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

and this will we do if God permit.

saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee;

(for they are become priests without the swearing of an oath, but he with the swearing of an oath, by him who said, as to him, The Lord has sworn, and will not repent of it, Thou art priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedec;)

For finding fault, he says to them, Behold, days come, saith the Lord, and I will consummate a new covenant as regards the house of Israel, and as regards the house of Juda;

Because this is the covenant that I will covenant to the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: Giving my laws into their mind, I will write them also upon their hearts; and I will be to them for God, and they shall be to me for people.

Because I will be merciful to their unrighteousnesses, and their sins and their lawlessnesses I will never remember any more.

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

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

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

This is the covenant which I will establish towards them after those days, saith the Lord: Giving my laws into their hearts, I will write them also in their understandings;

and their sins and their lawlessnesses I will never remember any more.

For we know him that said, To me belongs vengeance; I will recompense, saith the Lord: and again, The Lord shall judge his people.

For ye have need of endurance in order that, having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise.

For yet a very little while he that comes will come, and will not delay.

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

Let marriage be held every way in honour, and the bed be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers will God judge.

Let your conversation be without love of money, satisfied with your present circumstances; for he has said, I will not leave thee, neither will I forsake thee.

So that, taking courage, we may say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not be afraid: what will man do unto me?

perfect you in every good work to the doing of his will, doing in you what is pleasing before him through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for the ages of ages. Amen.

Know that our brother Timotheus is set at liberty; with whom, if he should come soon, I will see you.
