1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;

<>the things which we have spoken, <>the sum, <>an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, <>high priest, <>priest, <>right hand

2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.

3 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.

<>ordained

4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:

<>v. 4

5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.

<>Moses, <>See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.

6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

<>he is the mediator of a better covenant, <>he is the mediator

7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.

8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

<>a new covenant, <>house … house, <>Israel, <>Judah

9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

<>I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, <>they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord

10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

<>I will … my laws … write them in their hearts, <>mind … hearts, <>write them

11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

<>v. 11

12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

<>I will be merciful

13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

<>waxeth

1 Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.

<>verily, <>ordinances

2 For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary.

<>vv. 2-3, <>candlestick, <>shewbread

3 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;

<>vv. 2-3, <>veil

4 Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

<>the ark of the covenant, <>manna, <>Aaron's rod that budded, <>the tables of the covenant

5 And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.

<>the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat, <>the mercyseat

6 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.

<>the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God, <>the priests

7 But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:

<>high priest, <>not without blood, <>the errors of the people

8 The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:

<>the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, <>the way into the holiest

9 Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;

<>perfect

10 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.

<>carnal, <>reformation

11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;

<>vv. 11-12, <>tabernacle, not made with hands

12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

<>vv. 11-12, <>by his own blood he entered in once, <>his own blood, <>redemption

13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:

<>sanctifieth

14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

<>Christ … offered himself, <>without spot, <>purge your conscience, <>dead works, <>the living God

15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

<>he is the mediator of the new testament, <>he is the mediator, <>the new testament, <>transgressions, <>they which are called, <>inheritance

16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.

<>death

17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

<>force, <>are dead

18 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.

<>dedicated

19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,

<>Moses had spoken every precept, <>Moses, <>had spoken every precept, <>every precept

20 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.

<>This is the blood of the testament, <>enjoined

21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.

<>sprinkled with blood, <>vessels

22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

<>almost, <>without shedding of blood is no remission

23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

<>Christ is … entered … into heaven itself, <>Christ … to appear in the presence of God for us, <>the presence of God

25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;

<>Nor yet that he should offer himself often

26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

<>For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world, <>the end of the world, <>the sacrifice of himself

27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

<>it is appointed unto men once to die, <>after this the judgment

28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

<>look for him, <>shall he appear, <>without sin, <>salvation

1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

<>perfect

2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.

3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.

4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:

<>vv. 5-6, <>a body hast thou prepared me

6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.

<>vv. 5-6, <>v. 6, <>burnt offerings

7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.

<>I come, <>I come … to do thy will, O God., <>in the volume of the book it is written of me, <>it is written

8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;

9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.

10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

<>sanctified, <>the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all, <>the body of Jesus Christ

11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:

<>priest

12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

<>sat down on the right hand of God, <>right hand

13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.

<>his enemies

14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

<>them that are sanctified

15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,

<>the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us, <>the Holy Ghost … had said before

16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

<>I will put my laws into their hearts, <>in their minds will I write them

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

18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

<>where remission of these is, <>remission of these

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

<>vv. 19-20, <>v. 19, <>the blood of Jesus

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

<>vv. 19-20, <>living way, <>veil

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

<>high priest, <>the house of God, <>house

22 Let 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.

<>Let us draw near with a true heart, <>assurance, <>our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, <>washed with pure water

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

<>Let us hold fast the profession of our faith, <>profession, <>without wavering, <>he is faithful that promised, <>he is faithful

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

<>let us consider one another, <>good works

25 Not 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.

<>Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, <>Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together … and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching., <>the assembling of ourselves together, <>exhorting

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

<>vv. 26-29, <>if we sin wilfully, <>the knowledge of the truth, <>the truth

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

<>vv. 26-29, <>fearful looking for of judgment, <>fiery indignation … shall devour the adversaries, <>adversaries

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

<>vv. 26-29, <>He that despised Moses' law died, <>despised, <>died, <>without mercy, <>two or three witnesses

29 Of 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?

<>vv. 26-29, <>Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath … done despite unto the Spirit, <>trodden under foot, <>done despite unto the Spirit of grace, <>done despite, <>grace

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

<>Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord., <>Vengeance belongeth unto me, <>I will recompense, <>The Lord shall judge his people., <>The Lord shall judge

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

<>into the hands, <>the living God

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

<>after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions, <>afflictions

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

34 For 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.

<>ye … took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance, <>my bonds, <>took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, <>a better and an enduring substance, <>substance

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

<>Cast not away therefore your confidence, <>confidence, <>great recompence of reward

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

<>ye have need of patience, <>patience, <>the will of God

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

<>v. 37, <>tarry

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

<>the just shall live by faith

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

<>perdition, <>them that believe, <>believe to the saving of the soul
