'Us' in the Bible

has in these last days spoken to us by a Son whom he appointed to be the heir of everything and through whom he also made the universe.

how will we escape if we neglect a salvation as great as this? It was first proclaimed by the Lord himself, and then it was confirmed to us by those who heard him,

Therefore, as long as the promise of entering his rest remains valid, let us be afraid! Otherwise, some of you will fail to reach it,

because we have had the good news told to us as well as to them. But the message they heard did not help them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened to it.

Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one may fail by following their example of disobedience.

Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone to heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us live our lives consistent with our confession of faith.

So let us keep on coming boldly to the throne of grace, so that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

Therefore, leaving behind the elementary teachings about the Messiah, let us continue to be carried along to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead actions, faith toward God,

so that by these two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to prove false, we who have taken refuge in him might be encouraged to seize the hope set before us.

The Holy Spirit also assures us of this, for he said:

the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain (that is, through his flesh),

let us continue to come near with sincere hearts in the full assurance that faith provides, because our hearts have been sprinkled clean from a guilty conscience, and our bodies have been washed with pure water.

Let us continue to hold firmly to the hope that we confess without wavering, for the one who made the promise is faithful.

And let us continue to consider how to motivate one another to love and good deeds,

since God had planned something better for us, so that they would not be perfected without us.

Therefore, having so vast a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, and throwing off everything that hinders us and especially the sin that so easily entangles us, let us keep running with endurance the race set before us,

Furthermore, we had earthly fathers who disciplined us, and we respected them for it. We should submit even more to the Father of our spirits and live, shouldn't we?

For a short time they disciplined us as they thought best, but God does it for our good, so that we may share in his holiness.

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful and worship God in reverence and fear in a way that pleases him.

Therefore, through him let us always bring God a sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of our lips that confess his name.

Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience and desire to live honorably in every way.

equip you with everything good to do his will, accomplishing in us what pleases him through Jesus, the Messiah. To him be glory forever and ever! Amen.
