'God' in the Bible

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

and when again He may bring in the first-born to the world, He saith, 'And let them bow before him -- all messengers of God;'

and unto the Son: 'Thy throne, O God, is to the age of the age; a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy reign;

thou didst love righteousness, and didst hate lawlessness; because of this did He anoint thee -- God, thy God -- with oil of gladness above thy partners;'

God also bearing joint-witness both with signs and wonders, and manifold powers, and distributions of the Holy Spirit, according to His will.

and him who was made some little less than messengers we see -- Jesus -- because of the suffering of the death, with glory and honour having been crowned, that by the grace of God for every one he might taste of death.

and again, 'Behold I and the children that God did give to me.'

wherefore it did behove him in all things to be made like to the brethren, that he might become a kind and stedfast chief-priest in the things with God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people,

for every house is builded by some one, and He who the all things did build is God,

See, brethren, lest there shall be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in the falling away from the living God,

for He spake in a certain place concerning the seventh day thus: 'And God did rest in the seventh day from all His works;'

there doth remain, then, a sabbatic rest to the people of God,

for he who did enter into his rest, he also rested from his works, as God from His own.

for the reckoning of God is living, and working, and sharp above every two-edged sword, and piercing unto the dividing asunder both of soul and spirit, of joints also and marrow, and a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart;

Having, then, a great chief priest passed through the heavens -- Jesus the Son of God -- may we hold fast the profession,

For every chief priest -- out of men taken -- in behalf of men is set in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins,

and no one to himself doth take the honour, but he who is called by God, as also Aaron:

having been addressed by God a chief priest, according to the order of Melchisedek,

for even owing to be teachers, because of the time, again ye have need that one teach you what are the elements of the beginning of the oracles of God, and ye have become having need of milk, and not of strong food,

Wherefore, having left the word of the beginning of the Christ, unto the perfection we may advance, not again a foundation laying of reformation from dead works, and of faith on God,

and this we will do, if God may permit,

and did taste the good saying of God, the powers also of the coming age,

and having fallen away, again to renew them to reformation, having crucified again to themselves the Son of God, and exposed to public shame.

For earth, that is drinking in the rain many times coming upon it, and is bringing forth herbs fit for those because of whom also it is dressed, doth partake of blessing from God,

for God is not unrighteous to forget your work, and the labour of the love, that ye shewed to His name, having ministered to the saints and ministering;

For to Abraham God, having made promise, seeing He was able to swear by no greater, did swear by Himself,

in which God, more abundantly willing to shew to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, did interpose by an oath,

that through two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, a strong comfort we may have who did flee for refuge to lay hold on the hope set before us,

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,

without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, and being made like to the Son of God, doth remain a priest continually.

(for nothing did the law perfect) and the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw nigh to God.

whence also he is able to save to the very end, those coming through him unto God -- ever living to make intercession for them.

because this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, saith the Lord, giving My laws into their mind, and upon their hearts I will write them, and I will be to them for a God, and they shall be to Me for a people;

how much more shall the blood of the Christ (who through the age-during Spirit did offer himself unblemished to God) purify your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

saying, 'This is the blood of the covenant that God enjoined unto you,'

for not into holy places made with hands did the Christ enter -- figures of the true -- but into the heaven itself, now to be manifested in the presence of God for us;

then I said, Lo, I come, (in a volume of the book it hath been written concerning me,) to do, O God, Thy will;'

then he said, 'Lo, I come to do, O God, Thy will;' he doth take away the first that the second he may establish;

And He, for sin one sacrifice having offered -- to the end, did sit down on the right hand of God, --

and a high priest over the house of God,

of how much sorer punishment shall he be counted worthy who the Son of God did trample on, and the blood of the covenant did count a common thing, in which he was sanctified, and to the Spirit of the grace did despite?

fearful is the falling into the hands of a living God.

for of patience ye have need, that the will of God having done, ye may receive the promise,

by faith we understand the ages to have been prepared by a saying of God, in regard to the things seen not having come out of things appearing;

by faith a better sacrifice did Abel offer to God than Cain, through which he was testified to be righteous, God testifying of his gifts, and through it, he being dead, doth yet speak.

By faith Enoch was translated -- not to see death, and was not found, because God did translate him; for before his translation he had been testified to -- that he had pleased God well,

and apart from faith it is impossible to please well, for it behoveth him who is coming to God to believe that He is, and to those seeking Him He becometh a rewarder.

for he was looking for the city having the foundations, whose artificer and constructor is God.

but now they long for a better, that is, an heavenly, wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for He did prepare for them a city.

reckoning that even out of the dead God is able to raise up, whence also in a figure he did receive him.

having chosen rather to be afflicted with the people of God, than to have sin's pleasure for a season,

God for us something better having provided, that apart from us they might not be made perfect.

looking to the author and perfecter of faith -- Jesus, who, over-against the joy set before him -- did endure a cross, shame having despised, on the right hand also of the throne of God did sit down;

if chastening ye endure, as to sons God beareth Himself to you, for who is a son whom a father doth not chasten?

looking diligently over lest any one be failing of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up may give trouble, and through this many may be defiled;

But, ye came to Mount Zion, and to a city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of messengers,

to the company and assembly of the first-born in heaven enrolled, and to God the judge of all, and to spirits of righteous men made perfect,

wherefore, a kingdom that cannot be shaken receiving, may we have grace, through which we may serve God well-pleasingly, with reverence and religious fear;

for also our God is a consuming fire.

honourable is the marriage in all, and the bed undefiled, and whoremongers and adulterers God shall judge.

Be mindful of those leading you, who did speak to you the word of God, whose faith -- considering the issue of the behaviour -- be imitating,

through him, then, we may offer up a sacrifice of praise always to God, that is, the fruit of lips, giving thanks to His name;

and of doing good, and of fellowship, be not forgetful, for with such sacrifices God is well-pleased.

And the God of the peace, who did bring up out of the dead the great shepherd of the sheep -- in the blood of an age-during covenant -- our Lord Jesus,
