Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, set your focus on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess.Read from NKJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 3-4

He was faithful to the One who appointed Him, just as Moses was faithful in all God's house.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 3-4

6
But Christ is faithful as the Son over God's house. And we are His house, if we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope of which we boast.Read from KJV · Speechless
7
Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: "Today, if you hear His voice,Read from NKJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 3-4
8
do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion, in the day of testing in the wilderness,Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 3-4

where your fathers tested and tried Me, and for forty years saw My works.Read from KJV · Bitter Fruit of Disobedience

Therefore I was angry with that generation, and I said, 'Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known My ways.'Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 3-4

So I swore on oath in My anger, 'They shall never enter My rest.'"Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 3-4

See to it, brothers, that none of you has a wicked heart of unbelief that turns away from the living God.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 3-4

But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness.Read from NKJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 3-4
14
We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly to the end the assurance we had at first.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 3-4
16
For who were the ones who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 3-4
17
And with whom was God angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 3-4
18

Hebrews 4
1
Therefore, while the promise of entering His rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be deemed to have fallen short of it.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 3-4
3
Now we who have believed enter that rest. As for the others, it is just as God has said: "So I swore on oath in My anger, 'They shall never enter My rest.'" And yet His works have been finished since the foundation of the world.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 3-4
4
For somewhere He has spoken about the seventh day in this manner: "And on the seventh day God rested from all His works."Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 3-4
5
And again, as He says in the passage above: "They shall never enter My rest."Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 3-4

For whoever enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 3-4

For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 3-4
13
Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight; everything is uncovered and exposed before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 3-4
14
Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we profess.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 5-6
15
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who was tempted in every way that we are, yet was without sin.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 5-6
Hebrews 5
3
That is why he is obligated to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 5-6

During the days of Jesus' earthly life, He offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the One who could save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverence.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 5-6
12
Although by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to reteach you the basic principles of God's word. You need milk, not solid food!Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 5-6
Hebrews 6
1
Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith in God,Read from KJV · The Call of Ministry
4
It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit,Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 5-6
5
who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age—Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 5-6
6
and then have fallen away—to be restored to repentance, because they themselves are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting Him to open shame.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 5-6
8
But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless, and its curse is imminent. In the end it will be burned.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 5-6
10

11
We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, in order to make your hope sure.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 5-6

When God made His promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater to swear by, He swore by Himself,Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 5-6
14
saying, "I will surely bless you and multiply your descendants."Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 5-6
Hebrews 7
2
and Abraham apportioned to him a tenth of everything. First, his name means "king of righteousness." Then also, "king of Salem" means "king of peace."Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 7-8
3
Without father or mother or genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God, he remains a priest for all time.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 7-8
4
Consider how great Melchizedek was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder.Read from NKJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 7-8
5
Now the law commands the sons of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people—that is, from their brothers—though they too are descended from Abraham.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 7-8
8
In the case of the Levites, mortal men collect the tenth; but in the case of Melchizedek, it is affirmed that he lives on.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 7-8
9
And so to speak, Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 7-8
10
For when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the loin of his ancestor.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 7-8
11
Now if perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood (for on this basis the people received the law), why was there still need for another priest to appear—one in the order of Melchizedek and not in the order of Aaron?Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 7-8
12
For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed as well.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 7-8
13
He of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 7-8
14
For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, a tribe as to which Moses said nothing about priests.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 7-8
15
And this point is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears,Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 7-8
16
one who has become a priest not by a law of succession, but by the power of an indestructible life.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 7-8
21
but Jesus became a priest with an oath by the One who said to Him: "The Lord has sworn and will not change His mind: 'You are a priest forever.'"Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 7-8
22
Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 7-8
25
Therefore He is able to save completely those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to intercede for them.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 7-8
27
Unlike the other high priests, He does not need to offer daily sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people; He sacrificed for sin once for all when He offered up Himself.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 7-8
Hebrews 8
2
and who ministers in the sanctuary and true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by man.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 7-8
3
And since every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, it was necessary for this One also to have something to offer.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 7-8
4
Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are already priests who offer gifts according to the law.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 7-8
6
Now, however, Jesus has received a much more excellent ministry, just as the covenant He mediates is better and is founded on better promises.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 7-8
8
But God found fault with the people and said: "Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 7-8
10
For this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their minds and inscribe them on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 7-8
11
No longer will each one teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 7-8
12
For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more."Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 7-8
13
By speaking of a new covenant, He has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 7-8
Hebrews 9
1
Now the first covenant had regulations for worship and also an earthly sanctuary.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
2
A tabernacle was prepared. In its first room were the lampstand, the table, and the consecrated bread. This was called the Holy Place.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
4
containing the golden altar of incense and the gold-covered ark of the covenant. Inside the ark were the gold jar of manna, Aaron's staff that had budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
6
When everything had been prepared in this way, the priests entered regularly into the first room to perform their sacred duties.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
8
By this arrangement the Holy Spirit was showing that the way into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still standing.Read from NKJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
9
It is an illustration for the present time, because the gifts and sacrifices being offered were unable to cleanse the conscience of the worshiper.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
10
They consist only in food and drink and special washings—external regulations imposed until the time of reform.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
11
But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that have come, He went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made by hands and is not a part of this creation.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
12
He did not enter by the blood of goats and calves, but He entered the Most Holy Place once for all by His own blood, thus securing eternal redemption.Read from KJV · Revelation 7
13
For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that their bodies are clean,Read from NKJV · Revelation 7
14
how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God, purify our consciences from works of death, so that we may serve the living God!Read from KJV · Revelation 7
17
because a will does not take effect until the one who made it has died; it cannot be executed while he is still alive.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
19
For when Moses had proclaimed every commandment of the law to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, along with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll and all the people,Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
20
saying, "This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you to keep."Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
21
In the same way, he sprinkled with blood the tabernacle and all the vessels used in worship.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
22
According to the law, in fact, nearly everything must be purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
23
So it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
25
Nor did He enter heaven to offer Himself again and again, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
26
Otherwise, Christ would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But now He has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of Himself.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
27
Just as man is appointed to die once, and after that to face judgment,Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
28
so also Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many; and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who eagerly await Him.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
Hebrews 10
1
For the law is only a shadow of the good things to come, not the realities themselves. It can never, by the same sacrifices offered year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
2
If it could, would not the offerings have ceased? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt the guilt of their sins.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
4
because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
5
Therefore, when Christ came into the world, He said: "Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body You prepared for Me.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
7
Then I said, 'Here I am, it is written about Me in the scroll: I have come to do Your will, O God.'"Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
9
Then He adds, "Here I am, I have come to do Your will." He takes away the first to establish the second.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
10
And by that will, we have been sanctified through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
12
But when this Priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, He sat down at the right hand of God.Read from NKJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
15
The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First He says:Read from KJV · Baptism of the Holy Spirit - Part 2
16
"This is the covenant I will make with them after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their hearts and inscribe them on their minds."Read from KJV · Baptism of the Holy Spirit - Part 2
17
Then He adds: "Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more."Read from KJV · Baptism of the Holy Spirit - Part 2
18
And where these have been forgiven, an offering for sin is no longer needed.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
19
Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus,Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
20
by the new and living way opened for us through the curtain of His body,Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
21
and since we have a great priest over the house of God,Read from NKJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
22
let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.Read from NKJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
23
Let us hold resolutely to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
24
And let us consider how to spur one another on to love and good deeds.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
25
Let us not neglect meeting together, as some have made a habit, but let us encourage one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
26
If we deliberately go on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins remains,Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
27
but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume all adversaries.Read from KJV · A Deadly Choice
28
Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.Read from KJV · A Deadly Choice
30
For we know Him who said, "Vengeance is Mine; I will repay," and again, "The Lord will judge His people."Read from ESV · The Man God Hates
35
So do not throw away your confidence; it holds a great reward.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
37
For, "In just a little while, He who is coming will come and will not delay.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 9-10
38
But My righteous one will live by faith; and if he shrinks back, I will take no pleasure in him."Read from KJV · The Great Divide
Hebrews 11
1
Now faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the certainty of what we do not see.Read from NKJV · The Victory of Faith
3
By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 11

10
For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.Read from KJV · The Victory of Faith

13
All these people died in faith, without having received the things they were promised. However, they saw them and welcomed them from afar. And they acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.Read from KJV · The Victory of Faith
14
Now those who say such things show that they are seeking a country of their own.Read from KJV · The Victory of Faith
15
If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return.Read from KJV · (Through the Bible) Hebrews 11
