Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

through Jesus Christ our Saviour, That, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs, according to the hope of eternal life.

Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ, to enjoin thee what is convenient,

But I would do nothing without thy consent; that thy good deed might not be, as it were, by constraint, but willingly.

Whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom he also made the worlds:

Being made so much higher than the angels, as he hath by inheritance a more excellent name than they.

But we see Jesus crowned with glory and honour, for the suffering of death, who was made a little lower than the angels, that by the grace of God he might taste death for every man.

Since then the children partake of flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner took part of the same, that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil:

Wherefore it behoved him to be made in all things like his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high-priest, in things pertaining to God, to expiate the sins of the people.

(For we are made partakers of Christ, if

So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest, but he that said to him, Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.

For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again, which are the first principles of the oracles of God, and are become such as have need of milk and not of strong meat.

But strong meat belongeth to them of full age, to them who have their senses exercised by habit to discern both good and evil.

For it is impossible for those who were once inlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and been made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh often upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them for whom it is tilled, receiveth blessing from God.

For when God made the promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater,

That by two unchangeable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled to lay hold on the hope set before us:

Whither Jesus our fore-runner is entered for us, made an high-priest for ever after the order of Melchisedek.

For this Melchisedek king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him,

Without father, without mother, without pedigree, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life, but being made like the son of God, remaineth a priest continually.

For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedek met him.

And it is still far more evident, because another priest is raised up, after the likeness of Melchidek, Who was made not after the law of a carnal commandment,

For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did, by which we draw nigh to God.

And in as much as not without an oath he was made priest: (For those priests were made without an oath,

Of so much better a covenant was Jesus made a surety.

For such an high priest became us, holy, harmless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens:

Not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day when I took them by the hand, to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

The Holy Ghost evidently shewing this, that the way into the holiest was not yet made manifest, while the first tabernacle was still subsisting,

not made with hands, that is, not of this building, And not by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, entered in once for all into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

And for this end he is the Mediator of a new covenant, that by means of death for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, they who are called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

For Christ did not enter into the holy place made with hands, the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.

Nor did he enter, that he might offer himself often (as the high-priest entered into the holy place every year with the blood of others.)

for ever sat down at the right hand of God, From thenceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.

Partly being made a gazing-stock both by reproaches and afflictions; partly being partakers with them who were so used.

Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness was made strong, became valiant in fight, put to flight armies of the aliens; Women received their dead raised to life again:

others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.

did not receive the promise, God having provided some better thing for us, that they might not be perfected without us.

as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright:

and blackness, and darkness, and tempest, And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words, which they that heard intreated that the word might not be spoken to them any more.

and to an innumerable company, To the general assembly of angels, and to the church of the first born, who are inrolled in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,

And this word, Yet once more, sheweth the removal of the things which are shaken, as being made, that the things which are not shaken may remain.

Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered without the gate.

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

Of his own will begat he us by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.

Thou seest that faith wrought together with his works, and by works was faith made perfect.

Therewith bless we God the Father, and therewith curse we man, made after the likeness of God.

Elijah was a man of like passions with us; and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the land for three years and six months.

Who thro' him believe in God, that raised him from the dead, and gave him glory, that your faith and hope, might be in God.

For even hereunto are ye called; for Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye might follow his steps:

Who himself bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we being dead to sin might live to righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

For Christ also once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh,

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

If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God: if any man minister, let him minister as of the ability which God giveth, that God in all things may be glorified thro' Jesus Christ, whose is the glory and the might for ever and ever. Amen.

To him be the glory and the might for ever and ever. Amen.

For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eye-witnesses of his majesty.

Whereas angels, who are greater in power and might, bring not a railing accusation against them before the Lord.

They went out from us, but they were not of us: for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest, that they were not all of us.

Hereby was manifested the love of God toward us, because God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

Hereby is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, so are we in this world.

He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us.

He that believeth on the Son of God, hath the testimony in himself. He that believeth not God, hath made him a liar, because he believeth not the testimony which he hath testified of his Son.

To the only God, our Saviour, be glory, and majesty, might and authority, both now and to all ages. Amen.

And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is fed for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

And the serpent cast out of his mouth after the woman water as a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream.
