In many parts, and many ways, God of old having spoken to the fathers in the prophets,

wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, Always do they go astray in heart, and these have not known My ways;

the Holy Spirit this evidencing that not yet hath been manifested the way of the holy places, the first tabernacle having yet a standing;

which way he did initiate for us -- new and living, through the vail, that is, his flesh --

quenched the power of fire, escaped the mouth of the sword, were made powerful out of infirmities, became strong in battle, caused to give way camps of the aliens.
