      Book 58 Hebrews

      58:001:001 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

      58:001:002 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

      58:001:003 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:

      58:001:004 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

      58:001:005 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

      58:001:006 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

      58:001:007 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.

      58:001:008 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

      58:001:009 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

      58:001:010 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:

      58:001:011 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;

      58:001:012 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.

      58:001:013 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?

      58:001:014 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

      58:002:001 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

      58:002:002 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;

      58:002:003 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;

      58:002:004 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?

      58:002:005 For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.

      58:002:006 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest him?

      58:002:007 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:

      58:002:008 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.

      58:002:009 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

      58:002:010 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

      58:002:011 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

      58:002:012 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.

      58:002:013 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.

      58:002:014 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

      58:002:015 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

      58:002:016 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.

      58:002:017 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

      58:002:018 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

      58:003:001 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

      58:003:002 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.

      58:003:003 For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.

      58:003:004 For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.

      58:003:005 And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;

      58:003:006 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

      58:003:007 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,

      58:003:008 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

      58:003:009 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.

      58:003:010 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.

      58:003:011 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)

      58:003:012 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

      58:003:013 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

      58:003:014 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

      58:003:015 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

      58:003:016 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

      58:003:017 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?

      58:003:018 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?

      58:003:019 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

      58:004:001 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

      58:004:002 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

      58:004:003 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

      58:004:004 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.

      58:004:005 And in this place again,
