1 For this reason, it is necessary for us to observe more thoroughly the things that we have heard, lest we let them slip away. 2 For if a word that was spoken through the Angels has been made firm, and every transgression and disobedience has received the recompense of a just retribution, 3 in […]

1 Therefore, holy brothers, sharers in the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession: Jesus. 2 He is faithful to the One who made him, just as Moses also was, with his entire house. 3 For this Jesus was considered worthy of greater glory than Moses, so much so that the […]

1 Therefore, we should be afraid, lest the promise of entering into his rest may be relinquished, and some of you may be judged to be lacking. 2 For this was announced to us in a similar manner as to them. But the mere hearing of the word did not benefit them, since it was […]

1 For the law contains the shadow of future good things, not the very image of these things. So, by the very same sacrifices which they offer ceaselessly each year, they can never cause these to approach perfection. 2 Otherwise, they would have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, once cleansed, would no longer […]
