WEB·Hebrews 11

¹Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen.

KJVNow^G1161 faith^G4102 is^G2076^(G5748) the substance^G5287 of things hoped for^G1679^(G5746), the evidence^G1650 of things^G4229 not^G3756 seen^G991^(G5746).

² For by this, the elders obtained approval.

KJVFor^G1063 by^G1722 it^G5026 the elders^G4245 obtained a good report^G3140^(G5681).

³ By faith we understand that the universe has been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen has not been made out of things which are visible.

KJVThrough faith^G4102 we understand^G3539^(G5719) that the worlds^G165 were framed^G2675^(G5771) by the word^G4487 of God^G2316, so^G1519 that things which^G3588 are seen^G991^(G5746) were^G1096 not^G3361 made^G1096^(G5755) of^G1537 things which do appear^G5316^(G5730).

⁴ By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he had testimony given to him that he was righteous, God testifying with respect to his gifts; and through it he, being dead, still speaks.

KJVBy faith^G4102 Abel^G6 offered^G4374^(G5656) unto God^G2316 a more excellent^G4119 sacrifice^G2378 than^G3844 Cain^G2535, by^G1223 which^G3739 he obtained witness^G3140^(G5681) that he was^G1511^(G5750) righteous^G1342, God^G2316 testifying^G3140^(G5723) of^G1909 his^G846 gifts^G1435: and^G2532 by^G1223 it^G846 he being dead^G599^(G5631) yet^G2089 speaketh^G2980^(G5731)^(G5625)^G2980^(G5719).

⁵ By faith Enoch was taken away, so that he wouldn’t see death, and he was not found, because God translated him. For he has had testimony given to him that before his translation he had been well pleasing to God.

KJVBy faith^G4102 Enoch^G1802 was translated^G3346^(G5681) that he should^G1492 not^G3361 see^G1492^(G5629) death^G2288; and^G2532 was^G2147 not^G3756 found^G2147^(G5712), because^G1360 God^G2316 had translated^G3346^(G5656) him^G846: for^G1063 before^G4253 his^G846 translation^G3331 he had this testimony^G3140^(G5769), that he pleased^G2100^(G5760) God^G2316.

⁶ Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.

KJVBut^G1161 without^G5565 faith^G4102 it is impossible^G102 to please^G2100^(G5658) him: for^G1063 he that cometh^G4334^(G5740) to God^G2316 must^G1163^(G5748) believe^G4100^(G5658) that^G3754 he is^G2076^(G5748), and^G2532 that he is^G1096^(G5736) a rewarder^G3406 of them that diligently seek^G1567^(G5723) him^G846.

⁷ By faith Noah, being warned about things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared a ship for the saving of his house, through which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

KJVBy faith^G4102 Noah^G3575, being warned of God^G5537^(G5685) of^G4012 things not^G3369 seen^G991^(G5746) as yet^G3369, moved with fear^G2125^(G5685), prepared^G2680^(G5656) an ark^G2787 to^G1519 the saving^G4991 of his^G846 house^G3624; by^G1223 the which^G3739 he condemned^G2632^(G5656) the world^G2889, and^G2532 became^G1096^(G5633) heir^G2818 of the righteousness^G1343 which is by^G2596 faith^G4102.

⁸ By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to the place which he was to receive for an inheritance. He went out, not knowing where he went.

KJVBy faith^G4102 Abraham^G11, when he was called^G2564^(G5746) to go out^G1831^(G5629) into^G1519 a place^G5117 which^G3739 he should after^G3195^(G5707) receive^G2983^(G5721) for^G1519 an inheritance^G2817, obeyed^G5219^(G5656); and^G2532 he went out^G1831^(G5627), not^G3361 knowing^G1987^(G5740) whither^G4226 he went^G2064^(G5736).

⁹ By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a land not his own, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise.

KJVBy faith^G4102 he sojourned^G3939^(G5656) in^G1519 the land^G1093 of promise^G1860, as^G5613 in a strange country^G245, dwelling^G2730^(G5660) in^G1722 tabernacles^G4633 with^G3326 Isaac^G2464 and^G2532 Jacob^G2384, the heirs with him^G4789 of the same^G846 promise^G1860:

¹⁰ For he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

KJVFor^G1063 he looked for^G1551^(G5711) a city^G4172 which hath^G2192^(G5723) foundations^G2310, whose^G3739 builder^G5079 and^G2532 maker^G1217 is God^G2316.

¹¹ By faith even Sarah herself received power to conceive, and she bore a child when she was past age, since she counted him faithful who had promised.

KJVThrough faith^G4102 also^G2532 Sara^G4564 herself^G846 received^G2983^(G5627) strength^G1411 to^G1519 conceive^G2602 seed^G4690, and^G2532 was delivered of a child^G5088^(G5627) when she was past^G3844 age^G2540^G2244, because^G1893 she judged^G2233^(G5662) him faithful^G4103 who had promised^G1861^(G5666).

¹² Therefore as many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as innumerable as the sand which is by the sea shore, were fathered by one man, and him as good as dead.

KJVTherefore^G1352 sprang there^G1080^(G5681) even^G2532 of^G575 one^G1520, and^G2532 him^G5023 as good as dead^G3499^(G5772), so many as^G2531 the stars^G798 of the sky^G3772 in multitude^G4128, and^G2532 as^G5616 the sand^G285 which^G3588 is by^G3844 the sea^G2281 shore^G5491 innumerable^G382.

¹³ These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and embraced them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

KJVThese^G3778 all^G3956 died^G599^(G5627) in^G2596 faith^G4102, not^G3361 having received^G2983^(G5631) the promises^G1860, but^G235 having seen^G1492^(G5631) them^G846 afar off^G4207, and^G2532 were persuaded of^G3982^(G5685) them, and^G2532 embraced^G782^(G5666) them, and^G2532 confessed^G3670^(G5660) that^G3754 they were^G1526^(G5748) strangers^G3581 and^G2532 pilgrims^G3927 on^G1909 the earth^G1093.

¹⁴ For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.

KJVFor^G1063 they that say^G3004^(G5723) such things^G5108 declare plainly^G1718^(G5719) that^G3754 they seek^G1934^(G5719) a country^G3968.

¹⁵ If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return.

KJVAnd^G2532 truly^G3303, if^G1487 they had been mindful^G3421^(G5707) of that^G1565 country from^G575 whence^G3739 they came out^G1831^(G5627), they might^G302 have had^G2192^(G5707) opportunity^G2540 to have returned^G344^(G5658).

¹⁶ But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.

KJVBut^G1161 now^G3570 they desire^G3713^(G5734) a better^G2909 country, that is^G5123^(G5748), an heavenly^G2032: wherefore^G1352 God^G2316 is^G1870 not^G3756 ashamed^G1870^(G5736)^G846 to be called^G1941^(G5745) their^G846 God^G2316: for^G1063 he hath prepared^G2090^(G5656) for them^G846 a city^G4172.

¹⁷ By faith, Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac. Yes, he who had gladly received the promises was offering up his only born son,

KJVBy faith^G4102 Abraham^G11, when he was tried^G3985^(G5746), offered up^G4374^(G5754) Isaac^G2464: and^G2532 he that had received^G324^(G5666) the promises^G1860 offered up^G4374^(G5707) his only begotten^G3439 son,

¹⁸ to whom it was said, “Your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac,”

KJVOf^G4314 whom^G3739 it was said^G2980^(G5681), That^G3754 in^G1722 Isaac^G2464 shall^G2564 thy^G4671 seed^G4690 be called^G2564^(G5701):

¹⁹ concluding that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Figuratively speaking, he also did receive him back from the dead.

KJVAccounting^G3049^(G5666) that^G3754 God^G2316 was able^G1415 to raise him up^G1453^(G5721), even^G2532 from^G1537 the dead^G3498; from whence^G3606 also^G2532 he received^G2865^(G5668) him^G846 in^G1722 a figure^G3850.

²⁰ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even concerning things to come.

²¹ By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.

KJVBy faith^G4102 Jacob^G2384, when he was a dying^G599^(G5723), blessed^G2127^(G5656) both^G1538 the sons^G5207 of Joseph^G2501; and^G2532 worshipped^G4352^(G5656), leaning upon^G1909 the top^G206 of his^G846 staff^G4464.

²² By faith Joseph, when his end was near, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel, and gave instructions concerning his bones.

KJVBy faith^G4102 Joseph^G2501, when he died^G5053^(G5723), made mention^G3421^(G5656) of^G4012 the departing^G1841 of the children^G5207 of Israel^G2474; and^G2532 gave commandment^G1781^(G5662) concerning^G4012 his^G846 bones^G3747.

²³ By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.

KJVBy faith^G4102 Moses^G3475, when he was born^G1080^(G5685), was hid^G2928^(G5648) three months^G5150 of^G5259 his^G846 parents^G3962, because^G1360 they saw^G1492^(G5627) he was a proper^G791 child^G3813; and^G2532 they were^G5399 not^G3756 afraid^G5399^(G5675) of the king's^G935 commandment^G1297.

²⁴ By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter,

KJVBy faith^G4102 Moses^G3475, when he was come^G1096^(G5637) to years^G3173, refused^G720^(G5662) to be called^G3004^(G5745) the son^G5207 of Pharaoh's^G5328 daughter^G2364;

²⁵ choosing rather to share ill treatment with God’s people than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time,

KJVChoosing^G138^(G5642) rather^G3123 to suffer affliction^G4778^(G5738) with the people^G2992 of God^G2316, than^G2228 to enjoy the pleasures^G2192^(G5721)^G619 of sin^G266 for a season^G4340;

²⁶ considering the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked to the reward.

KJVEsteeming^G2233 the reproach^G3680 of Christ^G5547 greater^G3187 riches^G4149 than^G2233^(G5666) the treasures^G2344 in^G1722 Egypt^G125: for^G1063 he had respect^G578^(G5707) unto^G1519 the recompence of the reward^G3405.

²⁷ By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

KJVBy faith^G4102 he forsook^G2641^(G5627) Egypt^G125, not^G3361 fearing^G5399^(G5679) the wrath^G2372 of the king^G935: for^G1063 he endured^G2594^(G5656), as^G5613 seeing^G3708^(G5723) him who is invisible^G517.

²⁸ By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn should not touch them.

KJVThrough faith^G4102 he kept^G4160^(G5758) the passover^G3957, and^G2532 the sprinkling^G4378 of blood^G129, lest^G3363 he that destroyed^G3645^(G5723) the firstborn^G4416 should touch^G2345^(G5632) them^G846.

KJVBy faith^G4102 they passed through^G1224^(G5627) the Red^G2063 sea^G2281 as^G5613 by^G1223 dry^G3584 land: which^G3739 the Egyptians^G124 assaying^G3984 to do^G2983^(G5631) were drowned^G2666^(G5681).

³² What more shall I say? For the time would fail me if I told of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets—

KJVAnd^G2532 what^G5101 shall I^G3004 more^G2089 say^G3004^(G5725)? for^G1063 the time^G5550 would fail^G1952^(G5692) me^G3165 to tell^G1334^(G5740) of^G4012 Gedeon^G1066, and^G5037 of Barak^G913, and^G2532 of Samson^G4546, and^G2532 of Jephthae^G2422; of David^G1138 also^G2532, and^G5037 Samuel^G4545, and^G2532 of the prophets^G4396:

KJVWho^G3739 through^G1223 faith^G4102 subdued^G2610^(G5662) kingdoms^G932, wrought^G2038^(G5662) righteousness^G1343, obtained^G2013^(G5627) promises^G1860, stopped^G5420^(G5656) the mouths^G4750 of lions^G3023,

KJVQuenched^G4570^(G5656) the violence^G1411 of fire^G4442, escaped^G5343^(G5627) the edge^G4750 of the sword^G3162, out of^G575 weakness^G769 were made strong^G1743^(G5681), waxed^G1096^(G5675) valiant^G2478 in^G1722 fight^G4171, turned to flight^G2827^(G5656) the armies^G3925 of the aliens^G245.

³⁵ Women received their dead by resurrection. Others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.

KJVWomen^G1135 received^G2983^(G5627) their^G846 dead^G3498 raised to life again^G1537^G386: and^G1161 others^G243 were tortured^G5178^(G5681), not^G3756 accepting^G4327^(G5666) deliverance^G629; that^G2443 they might obtain^G5177^(G5632) a better^G2909 resurrection^G386:

³⁶ Others were tried by mocking and scourging, yes, moreover by bonds and imprisonment.

KJVAnd^G1161 others^G2087 had^G2983^(G5627) trial^G3984 of cruel mockings^G1701 and^G2532 scourgings^G3148, yea^G1161, moreover^G2089 of bonds^G1199 and^G2532 imprisonment^G5438:

³⁷ They were stoned. They were sawn apart. They were tempted. They were slain with the sword. They went around in sheep skins and in goat skins; being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated—

KJVThey were stoned^G3034^(G5681), they were sawn asunder^G4249^(G5681), were tempted^G3985^(G5681), were slain^G599^(G5627) with^G1722 the sword^G5408^G3162: they wandered about^G4022^(G5627) in^G1722 sheepskins^G3374 and^G1722 goatskins^G122^G1192; being destitute^G5302^(G5746), afflicted^G2346^(G5746), tormented^G2558^(G5746);

³⁸ of whom the world was not worthy—wandering in deserts, mountains, caves, and the holes of the earth.

KJV(Of whom^G3739 the world^G2889 was^G2258^(G5713) not^G3756 worthy^G514:) they wandered^G4105^(G5746) in^G1722 deserts^G2047, and^G2532 in mountains^G3735, and^G2532 in dens^G4693 and^G2532 caves^G3692 of the earth^G1093.

³⁹ These all, having been commended for their faith, didn’t receive the promise,

KJVAnd^G2532 these^G3778 all^G3956, having obtained a good report^G3140^(G5685) through^G1223 faith^G4102, received^G2865^(G5668) not^G3756 the promise^G1860:

⁴⁰ God having provided some better thing concerning us, so that apart from us they should not be made perfect.

KJVGod^G2316 having provided^G4265^(G5671) some^G5100 better^G2909 thing^G5100 for^G4012 us^G2257, that^G3363 they^G5048 without^G5565 us^G2257 should^G5048 not^G3363 be made perfect^G5048^(G5686).

WEB·Hebrews 10

¹For the law, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.

KJVFor^G1063 the law^G3551 having^G2192^(G5723) a shadow^G4639 of good things^G18 to come^G3195^(G5723), and not^G3756 the very^G846 image^G1504 of the things^G4229, can^G1410^(G5736) never^G3763 with those^G846 sacrifices^G2378 which^G3739 they offered^G4374^(G5719) year by year^G2596^G1763 continually^G1519^G1336 make^G5048 the comers thereunto^G4334^(G5740) perfect^G5048^(G5658).

² Or else wouldn’t they have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins?

KJVFor then^G1893 would they^G302 not^G3756 have ceased^G3973^(G5668) to be offered^G4374^(G5746)? because^G1223 that the worshippers^G3000^(G5723) once^G530 purged^G2508^(G5772) should have had^G2192^(G5721) no^G3367 more^G2089 conscience^G4893 of sins^G266.

³ But in those sacrifices there is a yearly reminder of sins.

KJVBut^G235 in^G1722 those^G846 sacrifices there is a remembrance again^G364 made of sins^G266 every^G2596 year^G1763.

⁴ For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.

KJVFor^G1063 it is not possible^G102 that the blood^G129 of bulls^G5022 and^G2532 of goats^G5131 should take away^G851^(G5721) sins^G266.

⁵ Therefore when he comes into the world, he says, “You didn’t desire sacrifice and offering, but you prepared a body for me.

KJVWherefore^G1352 when he cometh^G1525^(G5740) into^G1519 the world^G2889, he saith^G3004^(G5719), Sacrifice^G2378 and^G2532 offering^G4376 thou wouldest^G2309^(G5656) not^G3756, but^G1161 a body^G4983 hast thou prepared^G2675^(G5668) me^G3427:

⁶ You had no pleasure in whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin.

KJVIn burnt offerings^G3646 and^G2532 sacrifices for^G4012 sin^G266 thou hast had^G2106 no^G3756 pleasure^G2106^(G5656).

⁷ Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come (in the scroll of the book it is written of me) to do your will, O God.’”

KJVThen^G5119 said I^G2036^(G5627), Lo^G2400^(G5628), I come^G2240^(G5719)(in^G1722 the volume^G2777 of the book^G975 it is written^G1125^(G5769) of^G4012 me^G1700,) to do^G4160^(G5658) thy^G4675 will^G2307, O God^G2316.

⁸ Previously saying, “Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you didn’t desire, neither had pleasure in them” (those which are offered according to the law),

KJVAbove^G511 when he said^G3004^(G5723),^G3754 Sacrifice^G2378 and^G2532 offering^G4376 and^G2532 burnt offerings^G3646 and^G2532 offering for^G4012 sin^G266 thou wouldest^G2309^(G5656) not^G3756, neither^G3761 hadst pleasure^G2106^(G5656) therein; which^G3748 are offered^G4374^(G5743) by^G2596 the law^G3551;

⁹ then he has said, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He takes away the first, that he may establish the second,

KJVThen^G5119 said he^G2046^(G5758), Lo^G2400^(G5628), I come^G2240^(G5719) to do^G4160^(G5658) thy^G4675 will^G2307, O God^G2316. He taketh away^G337^(G5719) the first^G4413, that^G2443 he may establish^G2476^(G5661) the second^G1208.

¹⁰ by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

KJVBy^G1722 the which^G3739 will^G2307 we are^G2070^(G5748) sanctified^G37^(G5772) through^G1223 the offering^G4376 of the body^G4983 of Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 once^G2178 for all.

¹¹ Every priest indeed stands day by day serving and offering often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins,

KJVAnd^G2532^G3303 every^G3956 priest^G2409 standeth^G2476^(G5707)^(G5758) daily^G2596^G2250 ministering^G3008^(G5723) and^G2532 offering^G4374^(G5723) oftentimes^G4178 the same^G846 sacrifices^G2378, which^G3748 can^G1410^(G5736) never^G3763 take away^G4014^(G5629) sins^G266:

¹² but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God,

KJVBut^G1161 this man^G846, after he had offered^G4374^(G5660) one^G3391 sacrifice^G2378 for^G5228 sins^G266 for^G1519 ever^G1336, sat down^G2523^(G5656) on^G1722 the right hand^G1188 of God^G2316;

¹³ from that time waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet.

KJVFrom henceforth^G3063 expecting^G1551^(G5740) till^G2193 his^G846 enemies^G2190 be made^G5087^(G5686) his^G846 footstool^G5286^G4228.

¹⁴ For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

KJVFor^G1063 by one^G3391 offering^G4376 he hath perfected^G5048^(G5758) for^G1519 ever^G1336 them that are sanctified^G37^(G5746).

¹⁵ The Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,

KJVWhereof^G1161 the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151 also^G2532 is a witness^G3140^(G5719) to us^G2254: for^G1063 after^G3326 that he had said before^G4280^(G5760),

¹⁶ “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days,” says the Lord, “I will put my laws on their heart, I will also write them on their mind;” then he says,

KJVThis^G3778 is the covenant^G1242 that^G3739 I will make^G1303^(G5695) with^G4314 them^G846 after^G3326 those^G1565 days^G2250, saith^G3004^(G5719) the Lord^G2962, I will put^G1325^(G5723) my^G3450 laws^G3551 into^G1909 their^G846 hearts^G2588, and^G2532 in^G1909 their^G846 minds^G1271 will I write^G1924^(G5692) them^G846;

¹⁷ “I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more.”

KJVAnd^G2532 their^G846 sins^G266 and^G2532 iniquities^G458^G846 will I remember^G3415^(G5686) no^G3364 more^G2089.

¹⁸ Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

KJVNow^G1161 where^G3699 remission^G859 of these^G5130 is, there is no more^G3765 offering^G4376 for^G4012 sin^G266.

¹⁹ Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus,

KJVHaving^G2192^(G5723) therefore^G3767, brethren^G80, boldness^G3954 to^G1519 enter^G1529 into the holiest^G39 by^G1722 the blood^G129 of Jesus^G2424,

²⁰ by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh,

KJVBy a new^G4372 and^G2532 living^G2198^(G5723) way^G3598, which^G3739 he hath consecrated^G1457^(G5656) for us^G2254, through^G1223 the veil^G2665, that is to say^G5123^(G5748), his^G846 flesh^G4561;

²¹ and having a great priest over God’s house,

KJVAnd^G2532 having an high^G3173 priest^G2409 over^G1909 the house^G3624 of God^G2316;

²² let’s draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and having our body washed with pure water,

KJVLet us draw near^G4334^(G5741) with^G3326 a true^G228 heart^G2588 in^G1722 full assurance^G4136 of faith^G4102, having^G4472 our hearts^G2588 sprinkled^G4472^(G5772) from^G575 an evil^G4190 conscience^G4893, and^G2532 our bodies^G4983 washed^G3068^(G5772) with pure^G2513 water^G5204.

²³ let’s hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful.

KJVLet us hold fast^G2722^(G5725) the profession^G3671 of our faith^G1680 without wavering^G186;(for^G1063 he is faithful^G4103 that promised^G1861^(G5666);)

²⁴ Let’s consider how to provoke one another to love and good works,

KJVAnd^G2532 let us consider^G2657^(G5725) one another^G240 to^G1519 provoke^G3948 unto love^G26 and^G2532 to good^G2570 works^G2041:

²⁵ not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

KJVNot^G3361 forsaking^G1459^(G5723) the assembling^G1997 of ourselves^G1438 together^G1997, as^G2531 the manner^G1485 of some^G5100 is; but^G235 exhorting^G3870^(G5723) one another: and^G2532 so much^G5118 the more^G3123, as^G3745 ye see^G991^(G5719) the day^G2250 approaching^G1448^(G5723).

²⁶ For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins,

KJVFor^G1063 if we^G2257 sin^G264^(G5723) wilfully^G1596 after^G3326 that we have received^G2983^(G5629) the knowledge^G1922 of the truth^G225, there remaineth^G620^(G5743) no more^G3765 sacrifice^G2378 for^G4012 sins^G266,

²⁷ but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries.

KJVBut^G1161 a certain^G5100 fearful^G5398 looking for^G1561 of judgment^G2920 and^G2532 fiery^G4442 indignation^G2205, which shall^G3195^(G5723) devour^G2068^(G5721) the adversaries^G5227.

²⁸ A man who disregards Moses’ law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses.

KJVHe^G5100 that despised^G114^(G5660) Moses^G3475' law^G3551 died^G599^(G5719) without^G5565 mercy^G3628 under^G1909 two^G1417 or^G2228 three^G5140 witnesses^G3144:

²⁹ How much worse punishment do you think he will be judged worthy of who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

KJVOf how much^G4214 sorer^G5501 punishment^G5098, suppose ye^G1380^(G5719), shall he be thought worthy^G515^(G5701), who^G3588 hath trodden under foot^G2662^(G5660) the Son^G5207 of God^G2316, and^G2532 hath counted^G2233^(G5666) the blood^G129 of the covenant^G1242, wherewith^G3739^G1722 he was sanctified^G37^(G5681), an unholy thing^G2839, and^G2532 hath done despite^G1796^(G5660) unto the Spirit^G4151 of grace^G5485?

³⁰ For we know him who said, “Vengeance belongs to me. I will repay,” says the Lord. Again, “The Lord will judge his people.”

KJVFor^G1063 we know^G1492^(G5758) him that hath said^G2036^(G5631), Vengeance^G1557 belongeth unto me^G1698, I^G1473 will recompense^G467^(G5692), saith^G3004^(G5719) the Lord^G2962. And^G2532 again^G3825, The Lord^G2962 shall judge^G2919^(G5692)^(G5719) his^G846 people^G2992.

³¹ It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

KJVIt is a fearful thing^G5398 to fall^G1706^(G5629) into^G1519 the hands^G5495 of the living^G2198^(G5723) God^G2316.

³² But remember the former days, in which, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings:

KJVBut^G1161 call to remembrance^G363^(G5732) the former^G4386 days^G2250, in^G1722 which^G3739, after ye were illuminated^G5461^(G5685), ye endured^G5278^(G5656) a great^G4183 fight^G119 of afflictions^G3804;

³³ partly, being exposed to both reproaches and oppressions, and partly, becoming partakers with those who were treated so.

KJVPartly^G5124^G3303, whilst ye were made a gazingstock^G2301^(G5746) both^G5037 by reproaches^G3680 and^G2532 afflictions^G2347; and^G1161 partly^G5124, whilst ye became^G1096^(G5679) companions^G2844 of them that were^G390 so^G3779 used^G390^(G5746).

³⁴ For you both had compassion on me in my chains and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and an enduring one in the heavens.

KJVFor^G2532^G1063 ye had compassion^G4834^(G5656) of me in my^G3450 bonds^G1199, and^G2532 took^G4327^(G5662) joyfully^G3326^G5479 the spoiling^G724 of your^G5216 goods^G5224^(G5723), knowing^G1097^(G5723) in^G1722 yourselves^G1438 that ye have^G2192^(G5721) in^G1722 heaven^G3772 a better^G2909 and^G2532 an enduring^G3306^(G5723) substance^G5223.

³⁵ Therefore don’t throw away your boldness, which has a great reward.

KJVCast^G577 not^G3361 away^G577^(G5632) therefore^G3767 your^G5216 confidence^G3954, which^G3748 hath^G2192^(G5719) great^G3173 recompence of reward^G3405.

³⁶ For you need endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.

KJVFor^G1063 ye have^G2192^(G5719) need^G5532 of patience^G5281, that^G2443, after ye have done^G4160^(G5660) the will^G2307 of God^G2316, ye might receive^G2865^(G5672) the promise^G1860.

³⁷ “In a very little while, he who comes will come and will not wait.

KJVFor^G1063 yet^G2089 a little^G3397 while^G3745^G3745, and he that shall come^G2064^(G5740) will come^G2240^(G5692), and^G2532 will^G5549 not^G3756 tarry^G5549^(G5692).

³⁸ But the righteous one will live by faith. If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.”

KJVNow^G1161 the just^G1342 shall live^G2198^(G5695) by^G1537 faith^G4102: but^G2532 if^G1437 any man draw back^G5288^(G5672), my^G3450 soul^G5590 shall have^G2106 no^G3756 pleasure^G2106^(G5719) in^G1722 him^G846.

³⁹ But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul.

KJVBut^G1161 we^G2249 are^G2070^(G5748) not^G3756 of them who draw back^G5289 unto^G1519 perdition^G684; but^G235 of them that believe^G4102 to^G1519 the saving^G4047 of the soul^G5590.
