will put my law in their hearts, and in their minds will I write it,

And their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

But where they are forgiven, there is no more offering for sin.

Therefore we have, brethren, the joy of entering into the holy things through the blood of JESUS,

Whom he hath prepared for us a new and living way through the veil, that is, through his
flesh,

And have a high priest over the house of GOD:

Let us therefore go with a true heart, in full faith, having our hearts sprinkled, and being loosed from an evil conscience, and having our bodies washed with pure water; 23. And let us hold fast the confession of hope, and not waver: for he is faithful that promised it.

And let us take heed to ourselves one to another with charms of love and good works.

And not forsaking our assembling together, as some do, but exhorting one another, and that much more, as ye see the day approaching.

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

But a dreadful waiting of judgment, and of fiery anger, which shall devour the abominable.

If any man break the law of Moses, he shall die without mercy by two or three witnesses.

How much more grievous punishment think ye that he shall deserve who treadeth under foot the Son of God, and dishonoureth the blood of the testament by which he was sanctified, and reproacheth the Spirit of grace?

For we know him that said, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the LORD. And again, The LORD will judge his people.

It is terrible to fall into the hands of the living God.

But remember the former days, in which ye, being enlightened, endured a great struggle of affliction,

partly to have been a spectacle himself through shame and affliction, partly to have had fellowship with those who are so afflicted.

For ye had compassion on my bonds, and endured the spoil of your goods with gladness, as knowing that with yourselves ye have a better and an enduring possession in heaven.

Throw not away your confidence, which hath great reward.

But patience is necessary for you, that ye may do the will of God, and receive the promise.

For yet a little while, and he that shall come shall come, and not be pardoned.

But the righteous shall live by faith. But he that shall depart, in him shall my soul have no pleasure.

But we are not of them that depart and are condemned, but of them that believe and save the soul.
(Hebrews)
Chapter 11
Of the saving faith.

Now faith is a certain assurance of that which is hoped for, and not doubting that which is not seen.

By whom the ancients received testimony.

By faith we know that the world is finished by the word of God, that all things which are seen are made of nothing.

By faith Abel offered unto God a greater sacrifice than Kam, by which he bare witness that he was righteous, when God testified of his offering: and by the same he speaketh yet, though he were dead.

By faith Enoch was taken away, that he should not see death; and was not found, because God took him away: for before he was taken away he had testimony that he pleased God.

but without faith it is impossible to please God; for he who would come to God must believe that he is and will be a recompense to those who seek him.

By faith Noah honoured God, and prepared the ark for the salvation of his house, when he received a divine commandment from him that was not yet seen; by which he condemned the world, and inherited the righteousness that cometh by faith.

By faith Abraham was obedient, when he was called to go forth into the land which he should inherit: and he went forth, and knew not whither he went.

By faith he was a stranger in the land of promise, as in a strange land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the joint-heirs of the same promise.

For he waited for a city that hath a foundation, whose builder and maker is GOD.

By faith also Sarah received strength, and conceived, and bare beyond the days of her old age: for she esteemed him faithful that had promised.

Therefore also of one, as though his body were dead, many are born, as the stars of heaven, and as the sand upon the brink of the sea, which is innumerable.

All these died in faith, and received not the promise, but saw it afar off, and were put off, and were well satisfied, and confessed that they were sojourners and strangers on the earth.

For they that say these things shew that they seek a fatherland.

And if they had meant that from which they departed, they had time to return.

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

By faith Abraham, when he was tempted, offered up Isaac, and gave the only begotten, when he had already received the promise,

Of whom it was said, In Isaac shall thy seed be called,

And thought, God also is able to raise from the dead: therefore he took him again for an example.

By faith Isaac blessed of things to come Jacob and Esau.

By faith Jacob, when he was dead, blessed both the sons of Joseph, and bowed himself to the head of his sceptre.

By faith Joseph spake of the going out of the children of Israel, when he died, and did commandment of his bones.

By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid from his parents three months: because they saw that he was a goodly child, and feared not the king’s commandment.

By faith Moses, when he was grown up, would no more be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter.

and would rather suffer mischief with the people of God than have the temporal pleasure of sin,

And counted the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he looked unto the reward.

By faith he left Egypt, and feared not the king’s wrath: for he held fast to him whom he saw not, as though he saw him.

By faith he kept the passover, and the shedding of blood, that he that choked the firstborn might not choke them.

By faith they passed through the Red sea, as through dry land: which also the Egyptians tried, and were drowned.

By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, when they had compassed themselves about seven days.

By faith the harlot Rahab was not lost with the unbelievers, because she received the spies with kindness.

And what shall I say more? The time would be too short for me, if I should tell of Gideon, and Barak, and Samson, and Jephthah, and David, and Samuel, and the prophets, 33. Who by faith have overcome kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained the promise, stopped the mouths of lions,

have quenched the power of fire, have escaped the edge of the sword, have been strengthened out of weakness, have become strong in battle, have put down the army of the stranger.

The women have received again their dead from the resurrection: but the rest are bruised, and have received no redemption, that they might obtain the resurrection which is better.

Some have suffered scorn and scourging, and bondage and imprisonment.

They were stoned, they were cut in pieces, they were stabbed, they were slain by the sword; they went about in furs and in goats’ skins, with want, with affliction, with trouble.

(Of whom the world was not worthy) and have walked in misery in the deserts, and in the mountains, and in the clefts and holes of the earth.

All these have testified by faith, and have not received the promise,

because God has provided something “better for us beforehand, so that they would not be completed without us.
(Hebrews)
Chapter 12
Exhortation to patience and godliness.

Therefore we also, having such a company of witnesses about us, let us put away the sin which always clings to us and makes us sluggish, and let us walk by patience in the fight which is appointed for us,

And looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of faith, who, when he might have had joy, endured the cross, and was not ashamed, and sat on the right hand of the throne of God.

Remember him that endured such contradiction of sinners against him, that ye faint not in your courage, and be not moved.

For ye have not yet withstood to the death the strife against sin.

And have already forgotten the comfort that speaketh unto you as unto children: My son, regard not the chastening of the LORD lightly, neither despair when thou art punished of him;

For whom the LORD loveth he chasteneth: but he chasteneth every son whom he receiveth.

If ye endure chastening, God beareth you children: for where is there a son whom the father chasteneth not?

But if ye be without chastening, which they all have had, then are ye bastards, and not children.

Even if we have had our fathers in the flesh to chasten us, and have shunned them, ought we not much more to be subject unto our spiritual father, that we may live?

And they chastened us a few days according to their pleasure, but he for our profit, that we might obtain his sanctification.

But all chastening, when it is, seemeth unto us not joy, but sorrow: but afterward it shall give peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them that are exercised thereby.

Wherefore straighten again the lazy hands and the weary knees 13. And do with your feet a certain tread, lest any man stumble
