; (13)from henceforth expecting until his
enemies be made his footstool. (14)For by one offering he has
perfected forever those who are sanctified. (15)Moreover, the Holy
Spirit also is a witness to us; for after he had said, (16)This is the
covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord,
putting my laws upon their hearts, and on their minds I will write
them, [he further says,] (17)and their sins and iniquities I will
remember no more. (18)But where there is remission of these, there is
no longer offering for sin.

(19)Having therefore, brethren, boldness as to the entrance into the
holy places by the blood of Jesus, which [entrance] he instituted for
us, (20)a new and living way, through the vail, that is to say, his
flesh; (21)and having a great priest over the house of God; (22)Let us
draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having had our
hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience; and having had our body
washed with pure water, (23)let us hold fast the profession of the
hope without wavering, for he is faithful who promised; (24)and let us
consider one another, to incite to love and to good works; (25)not
forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the custom of
some, but exhorting, and so much the more as ye see the day
approaching.

(26)For if we willingly sin, after having received the knowledge of
the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, (27)but a
certain fearful looking for of judgment, and a fiery indignation,
which will devour the adversaries. (28)He that despised Moses' law
died without mercy, under two or three witnesses. (29)Of how much
worse punishment, suppose ye, will he be thought worthy, who has
trodden under foot the Son of God, and has accounted the blood of the
covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and has done
despite to the Spirit of grace? (30)For we know him who said: To me
belongs vengeance; I will recompense, saith the Lord; and again: The
Lord will judge his people. (31)It is a fearful thing to fall into the
hands of the living God.

(32)But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were
enlightened, ye endured a great contest of sufferings; (33)partly,
whilst ye were made a spectacle both by reproaches and afflictions;
and partly, whilst ye became partakers with those who were so used.
(34)For ye sympathized with those in bonds, and ye took joyfully the
plundering of your goods, knowing that y
