whither Jesus the forerunner has entered in our behalf, having been made a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

but he who did not derive his lineage from them has tithed Abraham, and blessed him having the promises.

And, so to speak a word, Levi, the one receiving tithes, has also been tithed through Abraham.

insomuch that Jesus has also been made the mediator of a better covenant.

but he, because he abides forever, has an unchangeable priesthood:

but now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, insomuch that he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been founded on better promises.

In that he calls it new, he has made the first one old; but that which is old and antiquated is nigh unto vanishing.

the Holy Spirit showing this, the way of the holies has not yet been made manifest, the first tabernacle yet standing:

for a covenant is valid in case of the dead: since it has no force while the covenanter lives.

since it behooved him frequently to suffer from the foundation of the world: but now in the end of the ages he has been made manifest unto the removal of sin through the sacrifice of himself.

Therefore, coming into the world, he says; Sacrifice an offering thou willest not, but thou hast perfected for me a body:

then I said, Lo, I come in the volume of the Book it has been written of me to do thy will, O God.

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

For by one offering he has forever perfected the sanctified.

by which he has opened unto us a new and living way, through the veil, that is, of his flesh,

Therefore cast not away your confidence, which has great reward.

My righteous man shall live by faith: and if he may draw back, my soul has no pleasure in him.

but now they seek a better country, that is, a heavenly. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he has prepared for them a city.

looking unto Jesus the beginner and perfecter of our faith; who for the joy that was placed before him, endured the cross, looking with contempt at the shame, and has sat down on the right hand of the throne of God.

For consider him who has endured so great a contradiction of sinners against himself, in order that you may not become weary, fainting in your souls.

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

Know our brother Timothy has departed; with whom, if he may come the more speedily, I shall see you.

For the sun with a scorching wind has risen, and dried up the grass, and its flower fell off, and the beauty of its countenance perished: so indeed the rich man will pass away in his ways.

Happy is the man who endures temptation: because, being proved, he will receive a crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him with divine love.

for he recognized himself, and has gone away, and immediately forgot what kind he was.

Hear, my beloved brethren. Has not God chosen the poor in the world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to those who love him with divine love?

Do they not blaspheme the good name which has been called upon you?

For whosoever may keep the whole law, and fail in one item, has become guilty of all.

But what is it profitable, my brethren, if one may say he has faith, but has not works? whether is faith able to save him?

For every nature both of wild beasts, and of birds, and of creeping things, and of oceanic animals, is subdued, and has been subjugated to human nature:

but according to the Holy One who has called you. Be ye also holy in all your deportment;

because it has been written, Ye shall be holy; because I am holy.

but the word of the Lord abides forever. And this is the word which has been preached unto you.

Therefore to you who believe he is precious: but to the unbelievers, the stone which the builders rejected, the same has become the head of the corner, and the stone of stumbling, and the rock of offence,

who himself has borne our sins in his own body on the wood, in order that we, being made free from sins, may live unto righteousness: by whose stripe you are healed.

Therefore Christ having suffered in the flesh, you also arm yourselves with the same mind: because the one having suffered in carnality has ceased from sin;

having eyes full of an adulteress, and unable to cease from sin; beguiling unestablished souls: having a heart which has been made fat with covetousness; children of the curse:

These are fountains without water, and mists driven away by the storm, for which the blackness of darkness has been reserved.

For if having escaped the pollutions of the world through the perfect knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and having again become entangled in these things, they are overcome, the last state has to them become worse than the first.

For it was better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, having known it, to turn away from the holy commandment which has been delivered unto them.

It has happened unto them according to the old proverb, The dog having returned to his own vomit; and the sow that had washed to wallowing in the mire.

and consider the longsuffering of the Lord's salvation; as our beloved brother Paul according to the wisdom which was given unto him has written unto you;

and the life was made manifest, and we have seen, and we testify, and we proclaim to you the life which is eternal, which was with the Father, and has been made manifest unto us;

but whosoever shall keep his word, truly the divine love of God has been made perfect in him. In this we know that we are in him.

But the one hating his brother is in darkness, and walks about in darkness, and does not know whither he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

No one denying the Son has the Father: the one confessing the Son has also the Father.

If you may know that he is righteous, know that every one doing righteousness has been born of him.

Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the children of God; and we are. And on this account the world does not know us, because it did not know him.

Every one having been born of God does not sin; because his seed remains in him: and he is not able to sin, because he has been born of God.

Every one hating his brother is a murderer: and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in himself.

And this is his commandment, that we may believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and we may love one another with divine love, as he has given to us commandment.

And the one keeping his commandments abides in him, and he in him; and in this we know that he abides in us, he has given us of his Spirit.

In this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit which confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God:

Beloved, let us love one another with divine love: because divine love is of God; and the one loving with divine love has been born of God, and knows God.

In this the divine love of God has been made manifest in us, because God has sent his only begotten Son into the world that we may live through him.

No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another with divine love, God abides in us, and his divine love has been made perfect in us.

In this we know that we abide in him, and he in us, because he has given us of his spirit.

And we have seen and we testify that the Father has sent forth his Son the Saviour of the world.

And we have known and we have believed the divine love which God has in us. God is divine love; and the one abiding in divine love abides in God, and God abides in him.

In this the divine love has been made perfect in us, that we may have boldness in the day of the judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

There is no fear in divine love; but perfect divine love casts out the fear: because the fear has torment; and the one fearing has not been made perfect in the divine love.

If any one may say, I love God with divine love, and may hate his brother, he is a liar: for the one not loving his brother whom he has seen, with divine love, is not able to love God, whom he has not seen, with divine love.

Every one believing that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God: and every one loving with divine love him who begat, also loves him who has been begotten of him, with divine love.

because everything which has been born of God conquers the world: and this is the victory which has conquered the world, our faith.

If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: because this is the witness of God that he has testified concerning his Son.

The one believing on the Son of God has the witness in himself: the one not believing God has made him a liar; because he has not believed in the testimony which God has testified concerning his Son.

And this is the testimony, that God has given unto us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

The one having the Son has the life; the one not having the Son of God has not the life.

We know that every one who has been born of God, sins not; but the one having been born of God keeps himself, and the evil one does not touch him.

But we know that the Son of God has come and has given unto us intelligence, that we know the truth. And we are in the true one, in his Son Jesus Christ; he is the true God, and eternal life.

Every one going forth, and not abiding in the teaching of Christ, has not God; the one abiding in the teaching, the same has both the Father and the Son.

Beloved, imitate not the evil, but the good. The one doing good is of God: the one doing evil has not seen God.

To Demetrius it has been testified by all, and by the truth itself: and we also testify: and you know that our testimony is true.

The beast which you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss, and go into perdition: and those dwelling upon the earth, whose name has not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will be astonished, seeing the beast, because he was, and is not, and will be.
