Therefore I was provoked with this generation, and I said, They do always err in their heart: and they have not known my way,

In that it is said, This day if you hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation:

And in this again he has said, They shall not enter into my rest.

again he appoints a certain day, saying in David, as has previously been said, This day, after so long a time; If you may hear his voice this day, harden not your hearts.

and on this account he has need, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer sacrifices for sins.

And no one takes this honor to himself, but the one called of God, as indeed Aaron was.

Likewise Christ also did not glorify himself to become a high priest, but the one having spoken to him, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee:

And we will do this, if God may permit.

but God, in this wishing more abundantly to show forth to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:

For this Melchizedek, the king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, the one having met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him,

You see how great this man was, to whom the patriarch Abraham even gave the tenth part of the chief spoils.

who had not daily need, as the high priests, first to offer up sacrifices for their own sins, then those of the people: for he did this, having offered up himself once.

But in addition to the things which having been spoken this is the principal thing: We have such a high priest, who sat on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,

Because this is my covenant which I will establish with the house of Israel after these days, says the Lord; having given my laws in their mind, I will also write them on their heart; and I will be to them a God, and they shall be unto me a people.

Then indeed the first tabernacle also, had ordinances of service, and a sanctuary for this world.

and above this was the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat; concerning which things it is not pertinent to speak specifically.

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

But Christ being a high priest of good things to come, through a greater and a more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of this world;

And on this account he is mediator of the new covenant, since there being death, unto the redemption of the transgressions unto the first covenant, those having been called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

saying, This is the blood of the covenant which God established unto you.

And inasmuch as it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this is the judgment:

This is the covenant that I will make unto them after these days, says the Lord; having given my laws on their hearts, and I will also write them in their mind;

not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together as is the custom to some; but exhorting: and this the more, as you see the days drawing nigh.

Obey your leaders, and be submissive: for they are watching for your souls, as they shall give an account that they may do this with joy and not with grief, for this is unprofitable to you.

But I the more exhort you to do this, that I may the more speedily be restored unto you.

Pure religion and undefiled with God even the Father is this, to relieve the orphans and widows in their affliction, and keep himself unspotted from the world.

This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but it is earthly, intellectual, and demoniacal.

on the contrary you should say, If the Lord will, and we live, we will indeed do this, or that.

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

For this is grace, if, through the conscience of God, one bears sorrows and suffering unjustly.

For what glory is there, if, committing sin and being buffeted, you endure it? But if, doing good and suffering you endure it, this is grace with God.

For unto this you have been called: because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you may follow in his steps:

For in this way in olden times the holy wives, the ones having hope toward God, were indeed accustomed to beautify themselves, submissive to their own husbands:

not giving evil for evil, or railing for railing: but on the contrary blessing; because unto this you have been called, that you may inherit the blessing.

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

but if as a Christian, be not ashamed, but glorify God in this name.

whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that it is for you to complete the same sufferings in this world along with your brotherhood.

Through Silvanus, the faithful brother, as I consider, I have written unto you briefly, exhorting, and witnessing that this same grace of God is true in which you may stand.

And in harmony with this same thing also, add to your faith heroism; and to heroism, knowledge;

For in this way an entrance will be administered unto you abundantly into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

But I consider it righteous, so long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by remembrance;

For having received from God the Father the honor and glory of such a voice having been borne to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

We, being with him in the holy mount, heard this voice borne from heaven.

know this in the first place, that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation.

promising them liberty, they themselves being the slaves of corruption: for to whatsoever any one has been subordinated, to this he has become enslaved.

I indeed, beloved, write unto you this second epistle; in which I stir up your pure mind by remembrance:

knowing this first, that at the last days mockers will come forth in scoffing, walking according to their own lusts,

For they willingly forget this, that the heavens were in the olden time, and the earth standing out of the water and through the water, by the word of God;

But let not this one thing be forgotten, beloved, that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

And in this we know that we have known him, if we are keeping his commandments.

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.

because this is all that is in the world; the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, which is not of the Father, but is of the world.

Who is a liar except the one denying that Jesus is the Christ? This one is the antichrist, the one denying the Father and the Son.

This is the message which he proclaimed unto you, eternal life.

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.

Indeed every one having this hope on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.

The one doing sin is of the devil; because the devil sins from the beginning. Unto this the Son of God was made manifest, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: every one not doing righteousness is not of God, and the one not loving his brother with divine love.

Because this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we must love one another,

In this we know the divine love, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

And in this we shall know that we are of the truth, and we shall assure our hearts before him;

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:

and every spirit which does not confess Jesus is not of God: and this is the spirit of antichrist, which you have heard that he is coming; and now he is already in the world.

They are of the world: on this account they speak of the world, and the world hears them.

We are of God: the one knowing God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. From this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

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.

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

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.

And we have this precept from him, that the one loving God with divine love also loves his brother with divine love.

In this we know that we love the children of God with divine love, when we love God with divine love and keep his commandments.

For this is the divine love of God, that we may keep his commandments: and his commandments are not heavy:

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.

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

And this is the assurance which we have toward him, that, if we may ask anything according to his will, he hears us.

If any one may see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and he will give him life to those sinning not unto death. There is a sin unto death; concerning this I do not say that you may ask.

And this is the divine love, that we may walk about according to his commandments; this is the commandment, That, as you heard from the beginning, that you may walk about in it.

If any one comes to you, and does not bring this doctrine; do not receive him into your house, and do not bid him God speed:

I have no greater joy than this, that I may hear of my children walking about in truth.

On account of this, if I may come, I will remember his works which he is doing, berating us with wicked speeches: and not content with these, he does not receive the brethren, and he prohibits them wishing to receive them, and casts them out of the church.

For certain men have crept in, who long ago were written down to this judgment, ungodly, transforming the grace of God into impurity, even denying Jesus Christ, our only Sovereign and Lord.

But you have this, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

But I say to you, the rest who are among the Thyatireans, so many as have not this teaching, whosoever have not known the depth of Satan, as they say; I cast upon you no other burden.

And after this I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow upon the earth, nor the sea, nor upon any tree.

On account of this they are before the throne of God, and they worship him day and night in his temple, and the one sitting upon the throne will spread his tabernacle over them.

And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in the heaven, saying, The kingdom of this world has become the kingdom of our Lord, and his Christ; and he will reign until the ages of the ages.

The rest of the dead lived not until the thousand years were fulfilled. This is the first resurrection.

And death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

Behold, I indeed am coming quickly. Blessed is the one keeping the words of the prophecy of this book.

And he says to me, See that you do it not: I am your fellow-servant, and one of your brethren the prophets, and of those keeping the words of this book: worship God.

And he says to me; Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the season is nigh.

I testify to every one hearing the words of the prophecy of this book. If any one may add to these things, God will add unto him the plagues which are written in this book:

and if any one may take from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take his part from the tree of life, and from the holy city, from the things which are written in this book.
