1:11 On many past occasions and in many different ways, God spoke to our fathers through the prophets.On many past occasions and in many different ways, God spoke to our fathers through the prophets. 1:22 But in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the universe.But in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the universe. 1:33 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His nature, upholding all things by His powerful word. After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His nature, upholding all things by His powerful word. After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. 1:44 So He became as far superior to the angels as the name He has inherited is excellent beyond theirs.So He became as far superior to the angels as the name He has inherited is excellent beyond theirs. 1:55 For to which of the angels did God ever say: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father”? Or again: “I will be His Father, and He will be My Son”?For to which of the angels did God ever say: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father”? Or again: “I will be His Father, and He will be My Son”? 1:66 And again, when God brings His firstborn into the world, He says: “Let all God’s angels worship Him.”And again, when God brings His firstborn into the world, He says: “Let all God’s angels worship Him.” 1:77 Now about the angels He says: “He makes His angels winds, His servants flames of fire.”Now about the angels He says: “He makes His angels winds, His servants flames of fire.” 1:88 But about the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever, and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom.But about the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever, and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom. 1:99 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, Your God, has anointed You above Your companions with the oil of joy.”You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, Your God, has anointed You above Your companions with the oil of joy.” 1:1010 And: “In the beginning, O Lord, You laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands.And: “In the beginning, O Lord, You laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands. 1:1111 They will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out like a garment.They will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out like a garment. 1:1212 You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed; but You remain the same, and Your years will never end.”You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed; but You remain the same, and Your years will never end.” 1:1313 Yet to which of the angels did God ever say: “Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet”?Yet to which of the angels did God ever say: “Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet”? 1:1414 Are not the angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?Are not the angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?
Hebrews 2
2:11 We must pay closer attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.We must pay closer attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away. 2:22 For if the message spoken by angels was binding, and every transgression and disobedience received its just punishment,For if the message spoken by angels was binding, and every transgression and disobedience received its just punishment, 2:33 how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? This salvation was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard Him,how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? This salvation was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard Him, 2:44 and was affirmed by God through signs, wonders, various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to His will.and was affirmed by God through signs, wonders, various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to His will. 2:55 For it is not to angels that He has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking.For it is not to angels that He has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking. 2:66 But somewhere it is testified in these words: “What is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him?But somewhere it is testified in these words: “What is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him? 2:77 You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honorYou made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor 2:88 and placed everything under his feet.” When God subjected all things to him, He left nothing outside of his control. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to him.and placed everything under his feet.” When God subjected all things to him, He left nothing outside of his control. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to him. 2:99 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because He suffered death, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because He suffered death, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone. 2:1010 In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting for God, for whom and through whom all things exist, to make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering.In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting for God, for whom and through whom all things exist, to make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering. 2:1111 For both the One who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers.For both the One who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers. 2:1212 He says: “I will proclaim Your name to My brothers; I will sing Your praises in the assembly.”He says: “I will proclaim Your name to My brothers; I will sing Your praises in the assembly.” 2:1313 And again: “I will put My trust in Him.” And once again: “Here am I, and the children God has given Me.”And again: “I will put My trust in Him.” And once again: “Here am I, and the children God has given Me.” 2:1414 Now since the children have flesh and blood, He too shared in their humanity, so that by His death He might destroy him who holds the power of death, that is, the devil,Now since the children have flesh and blood, He too shared in their humanity, so that by His death He might destroy him who holds the power of death, that is, the devil, 2:1515 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. 2:1616 For surely it is not the angels He helps, but the descendants of Abraham.For surely it is not the angels He helps, but the descendants of Abraham. 2:1717 For this reason He had to be made like His brothers in every way, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, in order to make atonement for the sins of the people.For this reason He had to be made like His brothers in every way, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, in order to make atonement for the sins of the people. 2:1818 Because He Himself suffered when He was tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted.Because He Himself suffered when He was tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted.
Hebrews 3
3:11 Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, set your focus on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess.Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, set your focus on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess. 3:22 He was faithful to the One who appointed Him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.He was faithful to the One who appointed Him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house. 3:33 For Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.For Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself. 3:44 And every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.And every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything. 3:55 Now Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house, testifying to what would be spoken later.Now Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house, testifying to what would be spoken later. 3:66 But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are His house, if we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope of which we boast.But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are His house, if we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope of which we boast. 3:77 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear His voice,Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear His voice, 3:88 do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion, in the day of testing in the wilderness,do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion, in the day of testing in the wilderness, 3:99 where your fathers tested and tried Me, and for forty years saw My works.where your fathers tested and tried Me, and for forty years saw My works. 3:1010 Therefore I was angry with that generation, and I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known My ways.’Therefore I was angry with that generation, and I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known My ways.’ 3:1111 So I swore on oath in My anger, ‘They shall never enter My rest.’”So I swore on oath in My anger, ‘They shall never enter My rest.’” 3:1212 See to it, brothers, that none of you has a wicked heart of unbelief that turns away from the living God.See to it, brothers, that none of you has a wicked heart of unbelief that turns away from the living God. 3:1313 But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. 3:1414 We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly to the end the assurance we had at first.We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly to the end the assurance we had at first. 3:1515 As it has been said: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion.”As it has been said: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion.” 3:1616 For who were the ones who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?For who were the ones who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt? 3:1717 And with whom was God angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?And with whom was God angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 3:1818 And to whom did He swear that they would never enter His rest? Was it not to those who disobeyed?And to whom did He swear that they would never enter His rest? Was it not to those who disobeyed? 3:1919 So we see that it was because of their unbelief that they were unable to enter.So we see that it was because of their unbelief that they were unable to enter.
Hebrews 4
4:11 Therefore, while the promise of entering His rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be deemed to have fallen short of it.Therefore, while the promise of entering His rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be deemed to have fallen short of it. 4:22 For we also received the good news just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, since they did not share the faith of those who comprehended it.For we also received the good news just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, since they did not share the faith of those who comprehended it. 4:33 Now we who have believed enter that rest. As for the others, it is just as God has said: “So I swore on oath in My anger, ‘They shall never enter My rest.’” And yet His works have been finished since the foundation of the world.Now we who have believed enter that rest. As for the others, it is just as God has said: “So I swore on oath in My anger, ‘They shall never enter My rest.’” And yet His works have been finished since the foundation of the world. 4:44 For somewhere He has spoken about the seventh day in this manner: “And on the seventh day God rested from all His works.”For somewhere He has spoken about the seventh day in this manner: “And on the seventh day God rested from all His works.” 4:55 And again, as He says in the passage above: “They shall never enter My rest.”And again, as He says in the passage above: “They shall never enter My rest.” 4:66 Since, then, it remains for some to enter His rest, and since those who formerly heard the good news did not enter because of their disobedience,Since, then, it remains for some to enter His rest, and since those who formerly heard the good news did not enter because of their disobedience, 4:77 God again designated a certain day as “Today,” when a long time later He spoke through David as was just stated: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.”God again designated a certain day as “Today,” when a long time later He spoke through David as was just stated: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.” 4:88 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day.For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. 4:99 There remains, then, a Sabbath rest for the people of God.There remains, then, a Sabbath rest for the people of God. 4:1010 For whoever enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His.For whoever enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His. 4:1111 Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following the same pattern of disobedience.Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following the same pattern of disobedience. 4:1212 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart.For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 4:1313 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight; everything is uncovered and exposed before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight; everything is uncovered and exposed before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. 4:1414 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we profess.Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we profess. 4:1515 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who was tempted in every way that we are, yet was without sin.For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who was tempted in every way that we are, yet was without sin. 4:1616 Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
Hebrews 5
5:11 Every high priest is appointed from among men to represent them in matters relating to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.Every high priest is appointed from among men to represent them in matters relating to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. 5:22 He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and misguided, since he himself is subject to weakness.He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and misguided, since he himself is subject to weakness. 5:33 That is why he is obligated to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.That is why he is obligated to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people. 5:44 No one takes this honor upon himself; he must be called by God, just as Aaron was.No one takes this honor upon himself; he must be called by God, just as Aaron was. 5:55 So also Christ did not take upon Himself the glory of becoming a high priest, but He was called by the One who said to Him: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.”So also Christ did not take upon Himself the glory of becoming a high priest, but He was called by the One who said to Him: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.” 5:66 And in another passage God says: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”And in another passage God says: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.” 5:77 During the days of Jesus’ earthly life, He offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the One who could save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverence.During the days of Jesus’ earthly life, He offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the One who could save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverence. 5:88 Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from what He suffered.Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from what He suffered. 5:99 And having been made perfect, He became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey HimAnd having been made perfect, He became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey Him 5:1010 and was designated by God as high priest in the order of Melchizedek.and was designated by God as high priest in the order of Melchizedek. 5:1111 We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain, because you are dull of hearing.We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain, because you are dull of hearing. 5:1212 Although by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to reteach you the basic principles of God’s word. You need milk, not solid food!Although by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to reteach you the basic principles of God’s word. You need milk, not solid food! 5:1313 For everyone who lives on milk is still an infant, inexperienced in the message of righteousness.For everyone who lives on milk is still an infant, inexperienced in the message of righteousness. 5:1414 But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained their senses to distinguish good from evil.But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained their senses to distinguish good from evil.
Hebrews 6
6:11 Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith in God,Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith in God, 6:22 instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 6:33 And this we will do, if God permits.And this we will do, if God permits. 6:44 It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit,It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, 6:55 who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age—who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age— 6:66 and then have fallen away—to be restored to repentance, because they themselves are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting Him to open shame.and then have fallen away—to be restored to repentance, because they themselves are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting Him to open shame. 6:77 For land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is tended receives the blessing of God.For land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is tended receives the blessing of God. 6:88 But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless, and its curse is imminent. In the end it will be burned.But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless, and its curse is imminent. In the end it will be burned. 6:99 Even though we speak like this, beloved, we are convinced of better things in your case—things that accompany salvation.Even though we speak like this, beloved, we are convinced of better things in your case—things that accompany salvation. 6:1010 For God is not unjust. He will not forget your work and the love you have shown for His name as you have ministered to the saints and continue to do so.For God is not unjust. He will not forget your work and the love you have shown for His name as you have ministered to the saints and continue to do so. 6:1111 We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, in order to make your hope sure.We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, in order to make your hope sure. 6:1212 Then you will not be sluggish, but will imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.Then you will not be sluggish, but will imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised. 6:1313 When God made His promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater to swear by, He swore by Himself,When God made His promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater to swear by, He swore by Himself, 6:1414 saying, “I will surely bless you and multiply your descendants.”saying, “I will surely bless you and multiply your descendants.” 6:1515 And so Abraham, after waiting patiently, obtained the promise.And so Abraham, after waiting patiently, obtained the promise. 6:1616 Men swear by someone greater than themselves, and their oath serves as a confirmation to end all argument.Men swear by someone greater than themselves, and their oath serves as a confirmation to end all argument. 6:1717 So when God wanted to make the unchanging nature of His purpose very clear to the heirs of the promise, He guaranteed it with an oath.So when God wanted to make the unchanging nature of His purpose very clear to the heirs of the promise, He guaranteed it with an oath. 6:1818 Thus by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be strongly encouraged.Thus by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be strongly encouraged. 6:1919 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain,We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, 6:2020 where Jesus our forerunner has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.where Jesus our forerunner has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.
Hebrews 7
7:11 This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, 7:22 and Abraham apportioned to him a tenth of everything. First, his name means “king of righteousness.” Then also, “king of Salem” means “king of peace.”and Abraham apportioned to him a tenth of everything. First, his name means “king of righteousness.” Then also, “king of Salem” means “king of peace.” 7:33 Without father or mother or genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God, he remains a priest for all time.Without father or mother or genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God, he remains a priest for all time. 7:44 Consider how great Melchizedek was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder.Consider how great Melchizedek was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder. 7:55 Now the law commands the sons of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people—that is, from their brothers—though they too are descended from Abraham.Now the law commands the sons of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people—that is, from their brothers—though they too are descended from Abraham. 7:66 But Melchizedek, who did not trace his descent from Levi, collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.But Melchizedek, who did not trace his descent from Levi, collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises. 7:77 And indisputably, the lesser is blessed by the greater.And indisputably, the lesser is blessed by the greater. 7:88 In the case of the Levites, mortal men collect the tenth; but in the case of Melchizedek, it is affirmed that he lives on.In the case of the Levites, mortal men collect the tenth; but in the case of Melchizedek, it is affirmed that he lives on. 7:99 And so to speak, Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham.And so to speak, Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham. 7:1010 For when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the loin of his ancestor.For when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the loin of his ancestor. 7:1111 Now if perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood (for on this basis the people received the law), why was there still need for another priest to appear—one in the order of Melchizedek and not in the order of Aaron?Now if perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood (for on this basis the people received the law), why was there still need for another priest to appear—one in the order of Melchizedek and not in the order of Aaron? 7:1212 For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed as well.For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed as well. 7:1313 He of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar.He of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar. 7:1414 For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, a tribe as to which Moses said nothing about priests.For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, a tribe as to which Moses said nothing about priests. 7:1515 And this point is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears,And this point is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears, 7:1616 one who has become a priest not by a law of succession, but by the power of an indestructible life.one who has become a priest not by a law of succession, but by the power of an indestructible life. 7:1717 For it is testified: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”For it is testified: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.” 7:1818 So the former commandment is set aside because it was weak and uselessSo the former commandment is set aside because it was weak and useless 7:1919 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.(for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God. 7:2020 And none of this happened without an oath. For others became priests without an oath,And none of this happened without an oath. For others became priests without an oath, 7:2121 but Jesus became a priest with an oath by the One who said to Him: “The Lord has sworn and will not change His mind: ‘You are a priest forever.’”but Jesus became a priest with an oath by the One who said to Him: “The Lord has sworn and will not change His mind: ‘You are a priest forever.’” 7:2222 Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant. 7:2323 Now there have been many other priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office.Now there have been many other priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office. 7:2424 But because Jesus lives forever, He has a permanent priesthood.But because Jesus lives forever, He has a permanent priesthood. 7:2525 Therefore He is able to save completely those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to intercede for them.Therefore He is able to save completely those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to intercede for them. 7:2626 Such a high priest truly befits us—One who is holy, innocent, undefiled, set apart from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.Such a high priest truly befits us—One who is holy, innocent, undefiled, set apart from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. 7:2727 Unlike the other high priests, He does not need to offer daily sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people; He sacrificed for sin once for all when He offered up Himself.Unlike the other high priests, He does not need to offer daily sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people; He sacrificed for sin once for all when He offered up Himself. 7:2828 For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever.For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever.
Hebrews 8
8:11 The point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,The point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, 8:22 and who ministers in the sanctuary and true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by man.and who ministers in the sanctuary and true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by man. 8:33 And since every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, it was necessary for this One also to have something to offer.And since every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, it was necessary for this One also to have something to offer. 8:44 Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are already priests who offer gifts according to the law.Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are already priests who offer gifts according to the law. 8:55 The place where they serve is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”The place where they serve is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.” 8:66 Now, however, Jesus has received a much more excellent ministry, just as the covenant He mediates is better and is founded on better promises.Now, however, Jesus has received a much more excellent ministry, just as the covenant He mediates is better and is founded on better promises. 8:77 For if that first covenant had been without fault, no place would have been sought for a second.For if that first covenant had been without fault, no place would have been sought for a second. 8:88 But God found fault with the people and said: “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.But God found fault with the people and said: “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. 8:99 It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not abide by My covenant, and I disregarded them, declares the Lord.It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not abide by My covenant, and I disregarded them, declares the Lord. 8:1010 For this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord.

In its first room were the lampstand, the table, and the consecrated bread. This was called the Holy Place. 9:33 Behind the second curtain was a room called the Most Holy Place,Behind the second curtain was a room called the Most Holy Place, 9:44 containing the golden altar of incense and the gold-covered ark of the covenant. Inside the ark were the gold jar of manna, Aaron’s staff that had budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant.containing the golden altar of incense and the gold-covered ark of the covenant. Inside the ark were the gold jar of manna, Aaron’s staff that had budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant. 9:55 Above the ark were the cherubim of glory, overshadowing the mercy seat. But we cannot discuss these things in detail now.Above the ark were the cherubim of glory, overshadowing the mercy seat. But we cannot discuss these things in detail now. 9:66 When everything had been prepared in this way, the priests entered regularly into the first room to perform their sacred duties.When everything had been prepared in this way, the priests entered regularly into the first room to perform their sacred duties. 9:77 But only the high priest entered the second room, and then only once a year, and never without blood, which he offered for himself and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance.But only the high priest entered the second room, and then only once a year, and never without blood, which he offered for himself and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance. 9:88 By this arrangement the Holy Spirit was showing that the way into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still standing.By this arrangement the Holy Spirit was showing that the way into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still standing. 9:99 It is an illustration for the present time, because the gifts and sacrifices being offered were unable to cleanse the conscience of the worshiper.It is an illustration for the present time, because the gifts and sacrifices being offered were unable to cleanse the conscience of the worshiper. 9:1010 They consist only in food and drink and special washings—external regulations imposed until the time of reform.They consist only in food and drink and special washings—external regulations imposed until the time of reform. 9:1111 But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that have come, He went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made by hands and is not a part of this creation.But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that have come, He went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made by hands and is not a part of this creation. 9:1212 He did not enter by the blood of goats and calves, but He entered the Most Holy Place once for all by His own blood, thus securing eternal redemption.He did not enter by the blood of goats and calves, but He entered the Most Holy Place once for all by His own blood, thus securing eternal redemption. 9:1313 For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that their bodies are clean,For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that their bodies are clean, 9:1414 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God, purify our consciences from works of death, so that we may serve the living God!how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God, purify our consciences from works of death, so that we may serve the living God! 9:1515 Therefore Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, now that He has died to redeem them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.Therefore Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, now that He has died to redeem them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant. 9:1616 In the case of a will, it is necessary to establish the death of the one who made it,In the case of a will, it is necessary to establish the death of the one who made it, 9:1717 because a will does not take effect until the one who made it has died; it cannot be executed while he is still alive.because a will does not take effect until the one who made it has died; it cannot be executed while he is still alive. 9:1818 That is why even the first covenant was not put into effect without blood.That is why even the first covenant was not put into effect without blood. 9:1919 For when Moses had proclaimed every commandment of the law to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, along with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll and all the people,For when Moses had proclaimed every commandment of the law to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, along with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll and all the people, 9:2020 saying, “This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you to keep.”saying, “This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you to keep.” 9:2121 In the same way, he sprinkled with blood the tabernacle and all the vessels used in worship.In the same way, he sprinkled with blood the tabernacle and all the vessels used in worship. 9:2222 According to the law, in fact, nearly everything must be purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.According to the law, in fact, nearly everything must be purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. 9:2323 So it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.So it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 9:2424 For Christ did not enter a man-made copy of the true sanctuary, but He entered heaven itself, now to appear on our behalf in the presence of God.For Christ did not enter a man-made copy of the true sanctuary, but He entered heaven itself, now to appear on our behalf in the presence of God. 9:2525 Nor did He enter heaven to offer Himself again and again, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own.Nor did He enter heaven to offer Himself again and again, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own. 9:2626 Otherwise, Christ would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But now He has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of Himself.Otherwise, Christ would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But now He has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of Himself. 9:2727 Just as man is appointed to die once, and after that to face judgment,Just as man is appointed to die once, and after that to face judgment, 9:2828 so also Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many; and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who eagerly await Him.so also Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many; and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who eagerly await Him.
Hebrews 10
10:11 For the law is only a shadow of the good things to come, not the realities themselves. It can never, by the same sacrifices offered year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.For the law is only a shadow of the good things to come, not the realities themselves. It can never, by the same sacrifices offered year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship. 10:22 If it could, would not the offerings have ceased? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt the guilt of their sins.If it could, would not the offerings have ceased? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt the guilt of their sins. 10:33 Instead, those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins,Instead, those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins, 10:44 because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. 10:55 Therefore, when Christ came into the world, He said: “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body You prepared for Me.Therefore, when Christ came into the world, He said: “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body You prepared for Me. 10:66 In burnt offerings and sin offerings You took no delight.In burnt offerings and sin offerings You took no delight. 10:77 Then I said, ‘Here I am, it is written about Me in the scroll: I have come to do Your will, O God.’”Then I said, ‘Here I am, it is written about Me in the scroll: I have come to do Your will, O God.’” 10:88 In the passage above He says, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not desire, nor did You delight in them” (although they are offered according to the law).In the passage above He says, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not desire, nor did You delight in them” (although they are offered according to the law). 10:99 Then He adds, “Here I am, I have come to do Your will.” He takes away the first to establish the second.Then He adds, “Here I am, I have come to do Your will.” He takes away the first to establish the second. 10:1010 And by that will, we have been sanctified through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.And by that will, we have been sanctified through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 10:1111 Day after day every priest stands to minister and to offer again and again the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.Day after day every priest stands to minister and to offer again and again the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 10:1212 But when this Priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, He sat down at the right hand of God.But when this Priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, He sat down at the right hand of God. 10:1313 Since that time, He waits for His enemies to be made a footstool for His feet,Since that time, He waits for His enemies to be made a footstool for His feet, 10:1414 because by a single offering He has made perfect for all time those who are being sanctified.because by a single offering He has made perfect for all time those who are being sanctified. 10:1515 The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First He says:The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First He says: 10:1616 “This is the covenant I will make with them after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their hearts and inscribe them on their minds.”“This is the covenant I will make with them after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their hearts and inscribe them on their minds.” 10:1717 Then He adds: “Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.”Then He adds: “Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.” 10:1818 And where these have been forgiven, an offering for sin is no longer needed.And where these have been forgiven, an offering for sin is no longer needed. 10:1919 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus,Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 10:2020 by the new and living way opened for us through the curtain of His body,by the new and living way opened for us through the curtain of His body, 10:2121 and since we have a great priest over the house of God,and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 10:2222 let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 10:2323 Let us hold resolutely to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.Let us hold resolutely to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful. 10:2424 And let us consider how to spur one another on to love and good deeds.And let us consider how to spur one another on to love and good deeds. 10:2525 Let us not neglect meeting together, as some have made a habit, but let us encourage one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.Let us not neglect meeting together, as some have made a habit, but let us encourage one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching. 10:2626 If we deliberately go on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins remains,If we deliberately go on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins remains, 10:2727 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume all adversaries.but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume all adversaries. 10:2828 Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 10:2929 How much more severely do you think one deserves to be punished who has trampled on the Son of God, profaned the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and insulted the Spirit of grace?How much more severely do you think one deserves to be punished who has trampled on the Son of God, profaned the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and insulted the Spirit of grace? 10:3030 For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge His people.”For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge His people.” 10:3131 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. 10:3232 Remember the early days that you were in the light. In those days, you endured a great conflict in the face of suffering.Remember the early days that you were in the light.
