Hebrews 11 - 13
1
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of e things not seen.
2
For by it the people of old received their commendation.
3
By faith we understand that the universe was created by f the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of g things that are visible.
4
By faith h Abel offered to God i a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God commending him by accepting his gifts. And j through his faith, though he died, he k still speaks.
5
By faith l Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God.
6
And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God m must believe that he exists and m that he rewards those who seek him.
7
By faith n Noah, being warned by God concerning o events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household. By this he condemned the world and became an heir of p the righteousness that comes by faith.
8
By faith q Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place r that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.
9
By faith he went to live in s the land of promise, as in a foreign land, t living in tents u with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise.
10
For he was looking forward to v the city that has w foundations, x whose designer and builder is God.
11
By faith y Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered z him faithful who had promised.
12
Therefore from one man, and a him as good as dead, were born descendants b as many as the stars of heaven and as many as the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore.
13
These all died in faith, c not having received the things promised, but d having seen them and greeted them from afar, and e having acknowledged that they were f strangers and exiles on the earth.
14
For people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland.
15
If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out, g they would have had opportunity to return.
16
But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed h to be called their God, for i he has prepared for them a city.
17
By faith j Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was in the act of offering up his only son,
18
of whom it was said, k "Through Isaac shall your offspring be named."
19
l He considered that God was able even to raise him from the dead, from which, figuratively speaking, he did receive him back.
20
By faith m Isaac invoked future blessings on Jacob and Esau.
21
By faith n Jacob, when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, o bowing in worship over the head of his staff.
22
By faith p Joseph, at the end of his life, made mention of the exodus of the Israelites and gave directions concerning his bones.
23
By faith q Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they were not afraid of r the king's edict.
24
By faith Moses, when he was grown up, s refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,
25
t choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy u the fleeting pleasures of sin.
26
v He considered the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to w the reward.
27
By faith he x left Egypt, y not being afraid of the anger of the king, for he endured z as seeing him who is invisible.
28
By faith a he kept the Passover and sprinkled the blood, so that the Destroyer of the firstborn might not touch them.
29
By faith b the people crossed the Red Sea as on dry land, but the Egyptians, when they attempted to do the same, were drowned.
30
By faith c the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days.
31
By faith d Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient, because she e had given a friendly welcome to the spies.
32
And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of f Gideon, g Barak, h Samson, i Jephthah, of j David and k Samuel and the prophets -
33
who through faith conquered kingdoms, enforced justice, obtained promises, l stopped the mouths of lions,
34
m quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, were made strong out of weakness, n became mighty in war, n put foreign armies to flight.
35
o Women received back their dead by resurrection. Some were tortured, refusing to accept release, so that they might rise again to a better life.
36
Others suffered mocking and flogging, and even p chains and imprisonment.
37
q They were stoned, they were sawn in two, r they were killed with the sword. s They went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, mistreated -
38
of whom the world was not worthy - t wandering about in deserts and mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
39
And all these, u though commended through their faith, u did not receive what was promised,
40
since God had provided something better for us, v that apart from us they should not be made perfect.
Hebrews 12
1
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and w sin which clings so closely, and x let us run y with endurance the race that is z set before us,
2
looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, a who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising b the shame, and c is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
3
d Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or e fainthearted.
4
In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.
5
And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons?
f "My son, g do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,
nor be weary when reproved by him.
6
For h the Lord disciplines the one he loves,
and chastises every son whom he receives."
7
It is for discipline that you have to endure. i God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline?
8
If you are left without discipline, j in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.
9
Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to k the Father of spirits l and live?
10
For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, m that we may share his holiness.
11
n For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields o the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
12
Therefore p lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees,
13
and q make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint r but rather be healed.
14
s Strive for peace with everyone, and for the t holiness u without which no one will see the Lord.
15
See to it that no one v fails to obtain the grace of God; that no w "root of bitterness" springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled;
16
that no one is x sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal.
17
For you know that y afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought it with tears.
18
For you have not come to z what may be touched, a blazing fire and darkness and gloom and a tempest
19
and a the sound of a trumpet and a voice whose words b made the hearers beg that no further messages be spoken to them.
20
For they could not endure the order that was given, c "If even a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned."
21
Indeed, d so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, "I tremble with fear."
22
But you have come to e Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, f the heavenly Jerusalem, and to g innumerable angels in festal gathering,
23
and to h the assembly of the firstborn who are i enrolled in heaven, and to j God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect,
24
and to Jesus, k the mediator of a new covenant, and to l the sprinkled blood m that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
25
See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For n if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape if we reject him who warns from heaven.
26
At that time o his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, p "Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens."
27
This phrase, "Yet once more," indicates q the removal of things that are shaken - that is, things that have been made - in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain.
28
Therefore let us be grateful for receiving r a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus s let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe,
29
for our t God is a consuming fire.
Hebrews 13
1
Let u brotherly love continue.
2
v Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby w some have entertained angels unawares.
3
x Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body.
4
y Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge z the sexually immoral and adulterous.
5
Keep your life a free from love of money, and b be content with what you have, for he has said, c "I will never leave you nor forsake you."
6
So we can confidently say,
d "The Lord is my helper;
e I will not fear;
what can man do to me?"
7
Remember f your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and g imitate their faith.
8
Jesus Christ is h the same yesterday and today and forever.
9
Do not be i led away by diverse and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, j not by foods, which have not benefited those devoted to them.
10
We have an altar k from which those who serve the tent have no right to eat.
11
For l the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy places by the high priest as a sacrifice for sin are burned m outside the camp.
12
So Jesus also n suffered o outside the gate in order to sanctify the people p through his own blood.
13
Therefore let us go to him outside the camp and bear q the reproach he endured.
14
For r here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come.
15
s Through him then let us continually offer up t a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, u the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name.
16
Do not neglect to do good and v to share what you have, for such w sacrifices are pleasing to God.
17
Obey x your leaders and submit to them, y for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to z give an account. a Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you.
18
b Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience, desiring to act honorably in all things.
19
I urge you the more earnestly to do this in order c that I may be restored to you the sooner.
20
Now d may the God of peace e who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, f the great shepherd of the sheep, by g the blood of the eternal covenant,
21
h equip you with everything good that you may do his will, i working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, j to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
22
I appeal to you, brothers, bear with my word of exhortation, for k I have written to you briefly.
23
You should know that l our brother Timothy has been released, with whom I shall see you if he comes soon.
24
Greet all m your leaders and all the saints. Those who come from Italy send you greetings.
25
n Grace be with all of you.
