Wherefore I was offended with that generation, and said, They always err in their heart, but they knew not my ways;

But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called Today, that none of you may be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

For to us were glad tidings addressed, as well as to them; but the word which was heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.

and there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight; but all things are naked and laid open to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

For we have not a highpriest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who hath in all points been tempted as we are, without sin.

And no one taketh this honor to himself, but when called by God, as was Aaron.

Thus Christ did not glorify himself to be made highpriest, but he who said to him, "Thou art my Son, I this day have begotten thee;"

but solid food belongs to those who are of full age, who by use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

but if it bear thorns and briers it is disapproved, and is near to being accursed; and its end is to be burned.

But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that are connected with salvation, though we do thus speak.

But we earnestly desire that every one of you may show the same diligence with regard to the full assurance of your hope even to the end;

that ye may not become slothful, but imitators of those who through faith and endurance inherit the promises.

without father, without mother, without record of descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life, but likened to the Son of God, remaineth a priest for ever.

but he whose descent is not reckoned from them took tithes of Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises.

And here indeed men that die receive tithes; but there he of whom it is testified that he liveth.

who hath been made, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an indissoluble life.

for they indeed have been made priests without an oath; but he with an oath by him who said to him, "The Lord swore, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever,"

but he, because he abideth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood;

For the Law maketh men highpriests, who have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was after the Law, maketh the Son, who is perfected for ever.

But now he hath obtained a more excellent ministry, in proportion as he is the mediator of a better covenant, which hath been established upon better promises.

In that he saith, "a new covenant," he hath made the first old; but that which is becoming old, and worn out with age, is ready to vanish away.

but into the second the highpriest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offereth for himself, and for the errors of the people;

But Christ having appeared, as a highpriest of the good things to come, passing through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of this creation, entered once for all into the sanctuary,

not with the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, and obtained for us everlasting redemption.

It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with sacrifices better than these.

For Christ did not enter into a sanctuary made with hands, which is only a copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God in our behalf.

for then must he have suffered many times since the foundation of the world; but now once in the end of the world he hath appeared, to put away sin by means of his sacrifice.

And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment;

For the Law but shadowing forth the good things to come, and not having the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices which they offer year by year continually make those who come with them perfect.

But in these sacrifices there is a remembrance of sins every year.

Wherefore, when he cometh into the world, he saith: "Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body didst thou prepare for me;

but he, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins, sat down for ever on the right hand of God,

But where there is remission of these, there is no longer offering for sin.

not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

but a certain fearful looking for judgment, and an indignation by fire, which will devour the adversaries.

But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were enlightened, ye endured a great struggle with sufferings;

Now my righteous man shall live by faith; but if he draw back, my soul hath no pleasure in him."

But we are not of those who draw back, unto perdition; but of those who believe, to the saving of the soul.

But without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.

These all died in faith, not having received the promised blessings, but having seen them from afar, and greeted them, and having professed that they were strangers and sojourners on the earth.

but now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly. Wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for he prepared for them a city.

Women received back their dead by a resurrection; but others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection;

But if ye are without chastening, of which all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards and not sons.

For they indeed for a few days chastened us, according as it seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.

Now all chastening for the present indeed seemeth to be not joyous, but grievous; but afterward it yieldeth the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised thereby.

and make straight paths for your feet, that the lame may not be turned out of the way, but may rather be healed.

but ye have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem; and to myriads, the general assembly of angels;

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

Let marriage be honored in all respects, and the bed be undefiled; but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

for here we have no abiding city, but are seeking that which is to come.

But works of kindness and liberality forget not; for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

but I the more earnestly entreat you to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.

But I beseech you, brethren, bear with the word of my exhortation; for I have written to you in few words.

But let endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting in nothing.

But if any one of you is wanting in wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it will be given him.

But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting; for he that doubteth is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and tossed.

but the rich, in that he is made low; because as the flower of the grass he will pass away.

But each one is tempted when by his own lust he is led away and enticed;

But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty, and remains there, being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in his deed.

If any one thinks that he is religious, and bridles not his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this mans religion is vain.

but ye have despised the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you, and do not they drag you before the judgmentseats?

But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

But some one will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works; show me thy faith without works, and I will show thee my faith by my works.

But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is idle?

but the tongue can no man tame; it is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

But if ye have bitter rivalry and strife in your hearts, do not glory and lie against the truth.

This wisdom is not that which descendeth from above, but earthly, sensual, devilish.

But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, without hypocrisy.

but he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, "God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble."

Speak not against one another, brethren; he that speaketh against his brother, or judgeth his brother, speaketh against the law, and judgeth the law; but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

One is the Lawgiver and Judge, he who is able to save, and to destroy; but who art thou, that judgest thy neighbor?

but now ye glory in your boastings. All such glorying is evil.

But above all things, my brethren, swear not; neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath; but let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay; that ye fall not under condemnation.

that the proof of your faith, much more precious than gold which perisheth, but is tried with fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor at the manifestation of Jesus Christ;

to whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you, they were ministering the things, which have now been announced to you by them that have brought the glad tidings to you by the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.

but as he who called you is holy, be ye also holy in all your conduct;

but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot;

who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but manifested in these last times for you,

being born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the word of God, which liveth and abideth.

but the word of the Lord abideth for ever;" and this is the word which was preached to you.

To whom coming, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but in the sight of God chosen, honored,

To you therefore who believe, is the honor; but to the disobedient, "the stone which the builders rejected, the same hath become the cornerstone,"

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for a possession, that ye may show forth the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light;

who once were not a people, but are now the people of God; who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

as free, and not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as servants of God.

Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and considerate, but also to the perverse.

For what glory is it, if, when ye are beaten for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently [it is glory]; for this is acceptable with God.

who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered did not threaten, but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously;

For ye were going astray like sheep; but ye have now returned to the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

but the hidden man of the heart, in that which is imperishable, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing; but, on the contrary, blessing the evildoer; because for this end ye were called, that ye might inherit blessing.

For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are toward their supplication; but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."

But if ye even suffer for righteousness sake, happy are ye. And be not afraid at their terrors, nor alarmed;

but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts. And be ready always to give an answer to every one that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you, but with meekness and fear;

For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous one for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;

which in its antitype, baptism, is now saving you,not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the earnest seeking for a good conscience toward God,by the resurrection of Jesus Christ;

that ye may no longer live the remaining time in the flesh after the lusts of men, but after the will of God.

For to this end was the gospel preached also to the dead, that they might indeed be judged according to men in the flesh, but might live according to God in the spirit.

But the end of all things is at hand; be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
