Let brotherly love continue.

Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.

Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.

For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.

But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

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.

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

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

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

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.

Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:

That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,

And having an high priest over the house of God;

Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used.

Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.

For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.

But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.

See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:

And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.

Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:

Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,

Yet for love's sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.

Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.

By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.
