Still, because of love, in place of an order, I make a request to you, I, Paul, an old man and now a prisoner of Christ Jesus:

I wanted to keep him with me, so that in my imprisonment for the gospel he might serve me in your place.

if he has wrong'd you, or is indebted to you, place that to my account.

At the same time also, prepare a place for me to stay, for I hope that through your prayers I will be given back to you.

taking a place by so much better than the angels, as he inherits a name more excellent than they.

For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my son! Today I have fathered you"? And in another place he says, "I will be his father and he will be my son."

And in another place, "Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast founded the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands:

But to which of the heavenly agents has he ever said, Sit thou by my right hand until I place thine enemies a footstool of thy feet?

For God did not place the coming inhabited world [Note: "The coming inhabited world" here probably refers to the present Christian age. It was viewed as "coming" from the perspective of Old Testament times], under the control of angels [and] that is the world we are talking about.

But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?

Thou didst render him some little while less than angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst place him over the work of thine hands:

All things didst thou place under his feet. For in placing all things under him, thou didst leave nothing not subjected to him. And now we see not yet all things placed under him.

And again, [Isa. 8:17 LXX], "I will place my trust in God." And again, [Isa. 8:18], "Look, [here] I am with the children whom God gave me."

For he in no place taketh on him the angels: but the seed of Abraham taketh he on him.

Who kept faith with God who gave him his place, even as Moses did in all his house.

And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.

As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.

which we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and firm, and entering into the place within the veil;

For this Melchisedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who did meet Abraham turning back from the smiting of the kings, and did bless him,

to whom also Abraham apportioned a tenth of everything--in the first place, [his name] is translated "king of righteousness," and then also "king of Salem," that is, "king of peace";

For, the priesthood being changed, there takes place of necessity a change of law also.

For, a setting aside, doth, indeed, take place, of a foregoing commandment, by reason of its own 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.

Now of the things we are saying this is the chief point: We have such a high priest, who has taken his place at the right hand of God's high seat of glory in heaven,

and ministers in the Holy place and in the true tabernacle which not man, but the Lord pitched.

The place where they serve is a sketch and shadow of the heavenly sanctuary, just as Moses was warned by God as he was about to complete the tabernacle. For he says, "See that you make everything according to the design shown to you on the mountain."

For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.

And truly therefore the first had precepts of divine service for him, and a worldly holy place.

For there was a tabernacle prepared, the first, wherein were the candlestick, and the table, and the showbread; which is called the Holy place.

And inside the second veil was the place which is named the Holy of holies;

Above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the place of atonement. (We cannot discuss these things in detail now.)

Now after preparing these things [i.e., the table, incense, etc.], the priests regularly enter the outer room of the Tabernacle [i.e., the Holy Place] to carry out the duties of their service.

the Holy Spirit this signifying, that the way into the holy place hath not yet been made manifest, while the first tabernacle is yet standing;

Because they are only rules of the flesh, of meats and drinks and washings, which have their place till the time comes when things will be put right.

But when Christ arrived as the high priest of the bliss that was to be, he passed through the greater and more perfect tent which no hands had made (no part, that is to say, of the present order),

Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

And for this cause he is the mediator of a new covenant, that a death having taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, they that have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

Therefore, even the first Agreement was not ratified without blood [i.e., without a death taking place].

For Christ entered not into a holy place made with hands, like in pattern to the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear before the face of God for us:

Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;

For as the Law has a mere shadow of the bliss that is to be, instead of representing the reality of that bliss, it never can perfect those who draw near with the same annual sacrifices that are perpetually offered.

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 he said, See, I have come to do your pleasure. He took away the old order, so that he might put the new order in its place.

And every priest takes his place at the altar day by day, doing what is necessary, and making again and again the same offerings which are never able to take away sins.

But when Jesus had made one offering for sins for ever, he took his place at the right hand of God;

as to the rest, expecting till He may place his enemies as his footstool,

Now where forgiveness of sins has taken place, there is no longer [a need for an] offering for sin.

Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus,

For we know who it is that has said, "Vengeance belongs to me! I will pay back!" and in another place, "The Lord will be the judge of his people!"

By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

and truly, if that had been in their view, they might have had an opportunity of returning to the place from whence they came.

By faith, concerning coming things, Isaac did bless Jacob and Esau;

by faith Jacob dying -- each of the sons of Joseph did bless, and did bow down upon the top of his staff;

They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tried by temptation, they were killed with the sword. They went from place to place in sheepskins or goatskins, enduring want, oppression and cruelty.

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.

lest a fornicator or profane man like Esau, who, in place of one meal sold his birthright.

For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.

[Unlike the Israelites at Mount Sinai] you [Christians] have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that burned with fire [See Ex. 19:12, 16-19; 20:18-21; Deut. 4:11]; to [a place of] darkness, gloom and wind;

But you have come to the mountain of Zion, to the place of the living God, to the Jerusalem which is in heaven, and to an army of angels which may not be numbered,

For the bodies of those beasts whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned without the camp.

For here we have no fixed resting-place, but our search is for the one which is to come.

May God bless you all.

And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:

So, also, the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. Behold, how great a forest does a little fire set in a blaze.

And the tongue is a fire, and takes its place among the parts of our bodies as a world of evil; it soils the whole body and sets on fire the circle of man's nature, and itself is set on fire by hell.

Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.

Not giving back evil for evil, or curse for curse, but in place of cursing, blessing; because this is the purpose of God for you that you may have a heritage of blessing.

But instead, set aside a place in your hearts where Christ is [in full control as] Lord, and be prepared always to give a suitable reply to every person who asks you for a reason why you have an inner hope. But [be sure you do it] in a meek and respectful way, however.

Because Christ once went through pain for sins, the upright one taking the place of sinners, so that through him we might come back to God; being put to death in the flesh, but given life in the Spirit;

Beloved, take not as strange the fire of persecution which has taken place amongst you for your trial, as if a strange thing was happening to you;

Place all your anxious cares upon God [in prayer], because He genuinely cares about you.

God bless you and give you perfect peace through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

But I think it right, so long as I remain in the body, my present dwelling-place, to arouse you by such reminders.

knowing that the putting off of my tabernacle is speedily to take place, as also our Lord Jesus Christ has manifested to me;

We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

while waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God? Because of this day, the heavens will be burned up and dissolve, and the celestial bodies will melt away in a blaze!

But having faith in his word, we are looking for a new heaven and a new earth, which will be the resting-place of righteousness.

For this reason, my loved ones, having knowledge of these things before they take place, take care that you are not turned away by the error of the uncontrolled, so falling from your true faith.
