For unto us hath the gospel been preached as well as unto them; but the word heard did not profit them, not being mixt with faith in those that heard it.

For we that have believed, do enter into the rest; as he said, I have sworn in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest, though the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

For he saith thus in a certain place, of the seventh day , And God rested on the seventh day from all his works: And in this again, They shall not enter into my rest.

For if Joshua had given them the rest, he would not have afterward spoken of another day.

There remaineth therefore a rest for the people of God.

For he that hath entered into his rest, hath himself also ceased from his works, as God did from his.

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder both of the soul and spirit, both of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

let us hold fast our profession, For we have not an high-priest who cannot sympathize with our infirmities, but who was in all points tempted like as we are: yet without sin.

For every high priest being taken from among men, is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins,

And because hereof it behoveth him, as for the people, so also for himself to offer for sins.

As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchisedeck:

For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again, which are the first principles of the oracles of God, and are become such as have need of milk and not of strong meat.

For every one that useth milk is unexperienced in the word of righteousness; for he is a babe.

For it is impossible for those who were once inlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and been made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh often upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them for whom it is tilled, receiveth blessing from God.

For God is not unrighteous, to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

For when God made the promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater,

For men verily swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all contradiction.

That by two unchangeable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled to lay hold on the hope set before us:

Whither Jesus our fore-runner is entered for us, made an high-priest for ever after the order of Melchisedek.
