Hebrews 13:22–25

¹²By 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.

¹²By Syluanus a faithfull brother vnto you, (as I suppose) I haue written briefly, exhorting, & testifying, that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.

¹WE then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.

¹¶ Wee then, as workers together with him, beseech you also, that ye receiue not the grace of God in vaine.

¹WHEREFORE, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

¹¶ Wherfore holy brethrē, partakers of the heauenly calling, consider the Apostle and high Priest of our profession Christ Iesus,

¹¹Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.

¹¹Ye see how large a letter I haue written vnto you with mine owne hand.

²⁰Now 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.

²⁰Now then we are Ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by vs; we pray you in Christs stead, that be ye reconciled to God.

¹⁹Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,

²⁰By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

²¹And having an high priest over the house of God;

²²Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

²³Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

²⁴And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:

²⁵Not 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.

²⁶For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

²⁷But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

²⁸He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:

²⁹Of 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?

³⁰For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.

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

³²But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;

³³Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used.

³⁴For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.

³⁵Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.

³⁶For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

³⁷For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.

³⁸Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

³⁹But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

¹⁹Hauing therefore, brethren, ^‖boldnesse to enter into the Holiest by the blood of Iesus,

²⁰By a new and liuing way which hee hath ^‖consecrated for vs, through the vaile, that is to say, His flesh:

²¹And hauing an high Priest ouer the house of God:

²²Let vs drawe neere with a true heart in full assurance of faith, hauing our hearts sprinkled from an euill conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

²³Let vs hold fast the profession of our faith without wauering (for he is faithfull that promised)

²⁴And let vs consider one another to prouoke vnto loue, and to good workes:

²⁵Not forsaking the assembling of our selues together, as the manner of some is: but exhorting one another, and so much the more, as ye see the day approching.

²⁶For if we sinne wilfully after that we haue receiued the knowledge of the trueth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sinnes,

²⁷But a certaine fearefull looking for of iudgement, and fiery indignation, which shall deuoure the aduersaries.

²⁸Hee that despised Moses Lawe, died without mercy, vnder two or three witnesses.

²⁹Of how much sorer punishment suppose ye, shall hee be thought worthy, who hath troden vnder foote y ^e Sonne of God, and hath counted the blood of the couenant wherwith he was sanctified, an vnholy thing, and hath done despite vnto the spirit of grace?

³⁰For we know him that hath said, ^*Uengeance belongeth vnto me, I wil recompence, saith the Lord: and again, The Lord shall iudge his people.

³¹ It is a fearefull thing to fall into the hands of the liuing God.

³²But call to remembrance the former dayes, in which after yee were illuminated, ye indured a great fight of afflictions:

³³Partly whilest ye were made a gazing stocke both by reproches & afflictions, and partly whilest ye became companions of them that were so vsed.

³⁴For yee had compassion of me in my bonds, and tooke ioyfully the spoyling of your goods, knowing in your selues that yee haue in heauen a better and an induring substance.

³⁵Cast not away therfore your confidence which hath great recompense of reward.

³⁶For ye haue need of patience, that shall after ye haue done the will of God ye might receiue the promise.

³⁷For yet a litle while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tary.

³⁸Now the iust shall liue by faith: but if any man drawe backe, my soule shall haue no pleasure in him.

³⁹But wee are not of them who draw backe vnto perdition: but of them that beleeue, to the sauing of the soule.

¹WHEREFORE 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,

²Looking 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.

¹¶ Wherefore, seeing wee also are compassed about with so great a cloude of witnesses, let vs lay aside euery weight, & the sinne which doth so easily beset vs, and let vs runne with patience vnto the race that is set before vs,

²Looking vnto Iesus the ^‖Authour and finisher of our faith, who for the ioy that was set before him, endured the crosse, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

¹LET brotherly love continue.

²Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

³Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.

¹¶ Let brotherly loue continue.

²Bee not forgetfull to entertaine strangers, for thereby some haue entertayned Angels vnawares.

³Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer aduersitie, as being your selues also in the body.

¹NOW 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:

¹¶ Now I Paul my selfe beseech you, by the meekenes and gentlenesse of Christ, who ^‖in presence am base among you, but being absent, am bold toward you:

¹²Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;

¹³And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.

¹⁴Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

¹⁵Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;

¹⁶Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.

¹²Wherefore lift vp the handes which hang downe, and the feeble knees.

¹³And make ^‖straight paths for your feete, lest that which is lame bee turned out of the way, but let it rather bee healed.

¹⁴Followe peace with all men, and holinesse, without which no man shall see the Lord:

¹⁵Looking diligently, lest any man ^‖faile of the grace of God, lest any roote of bitternesse springing vp, trouble you, and thereby many be defiled:

¹⁶Lest there bee any fornicatour, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsell of meat sold his birthright.

²⁵See 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:

²⁶Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.

²⁷And 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.

²⁸Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

²⁵See that yee refuse not him that speaketh: for if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape if wee turne away from him that speaketh from heauen.

²⁶Whose voice then shooke the earth, but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth onely, but also heauen.

²⁷And this word Yet once more, signifieth the remouing of those things that ^‖are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remaine.

²⁸Wherefore wee receiuing a kingdome which cannot bee moued, ^‖let vs haue grace, whereby wee may serue God acceptably, with reuerence and godly feare.

¹²Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.

¹³Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.

¹⁴For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.

¹⁵By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

¹⁶But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

¹²Wherefore Iesus also, that hee might sanctifie the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.

¹³Let vs goe foorth therefore vnto him without the campe, bearing his reproch.

^14*For here haue we no continuing citie, but we seeke one to come.

¹⁵By him therefore let vs offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lippes, ^†giuing thankes to his Name.

¹⁶But to doe good, and to communicate forget not, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

¹THEREFORE we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

¹¶ Therefore we ought to giue the more earnest heede to the things which we haue heard, lest at any time we should ^†let them slip.

¹²Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

¹³But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

¹²Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an euill heart of vnbeleefe, in departing from the liuing God.

¹³But exhort one another dayly, while it is called To day, least any of you be hardned through the deceitfulnesse of sinne.

¹LET us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

¹¶ Let vs therefore feare, lest a promise being left vs, of entring into his rest, any of you should seeme to come short of it.

¹¹Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

¹¹Let vs labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of ^‖vnbeleefe.

¹¹And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:

¹²That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

¹¹And wee desire, that euery one of you doe shewe the same diligence, to the full assurance of hope vnto the ende:

¹²That yee be not slothfull, but followers of them, who through faith and patience inherite the promises.

⁸Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,

⁹Yet for love’s sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.

⁸Wherefore, though I might bee much bolde in Christ to enioyne thee that which is conuenient;

⁹Yet for loues sake I rather beseech thee, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Iesus Christ.
