Jesus

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

in the which will we are having been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once,

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

as to the rest, expecting till He may place his enemies as his footstool,

for by one offering he hath perfected to the end those sanctified;

and testify to us also doth the Holy Spirit, for after that He hath said before,

`This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, giving My laws on their hearts, and upon their minds I will write them,'

Having, therefore, brethren, boldness for the entrance into the holy places, in the blood of Jesus,

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

and a high priest over the house of God,

may we hold fast the unwavering profession of the hope, (for faithful is He who did promise),

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?

for we have known Him who is saying, `Vengeance is Mine, I will recompense, saith the Lord;' and again, `The Lord shall judge His people;' --

for yet a very very little, He who is coming will come, and will not tarry;

and `the righteous by faith shall live,' and `if he may draw back, My soul hath no pleasure in him,'

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.

By faith also Sarah herself did receive power to conceive seed, and she bare after the time of life, seeing she did judge Him faithful who did promise;

greater wealth having reckoned the reproach of the Christ than the treasures in Egypt, for he did look to the recompense of reward;

by faith he left Egypt behind, not having been afraid of the wrath of the king, for, as seeing the Invisible One--he endured;

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;

for consider again him who endured such gainsaying from the sinners to himself, that ye may not be wearied in your souls--being faint.

and ye have forgotten the exhortation that doth speak fully with you as with sons, `My son, be not despising chastening of the Lord, nor be faint, being reproved by Him,

for whom the Lord doth love He doth chasten, and He scourgeth every son whom He receiveth;'

for they, indeed, for a few days, according to what seemed good to them, were chastening, but He for profit, to be partakers of His separation;

peace pursue with all, and the separation, apart from which no one shall see the Lord,
