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.

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

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
