   [continued from previous message]   
      
   were finished from the foundation of the world.   
      
   4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And   
   God did rest the seventh day from all his works.   
      
   5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.   
      
   6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they   
   to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:   
      
   7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so   
   long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not   
   your hearts.   
      
   8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have   
   spoken of another day.   
      
   9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.   
      
   10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his   
   own works, as God did from his.   
      
   11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall   
   after the same example of unbelief.   
      
   12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any   
   twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and   
   spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts   
   and intents of the heart.   
      
   13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but   
   all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have   
   to do.   
      
   14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the   
   heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.   
      
   15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the   
   feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we   
   are, yet without sin.   
      
   16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may   
   obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.   
      
   Hebrews Chapter 5   
      
   1 For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in   
   things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices   
   for sins:   
      
   2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of   
   the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.   
      
   3 And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself,   
   to offer for sins.   
      
   4 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of   
   God, as was Aaron.   
      
   5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he   
   that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.   
      
   6 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after   
   the order of Melchisedec.   
      
   7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and   
   supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to   
   save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;   
      
   8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he   
   suffered;   
      
   9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto   
   all them that obey him;   
      
   10 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.   
      
   11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye   
   are dull of hearing.   
      
   12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one   
   teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and   
   are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.   
      
   13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of   
   righteousness: for he is a babe.   
      
   14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those   
   who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good   
   and evil.   
      
   Hebrews Chapter 6   
      
   1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go   
   on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from   
   dead works, and of faith toward God,   
      
   2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of   
   resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.   
      
   3 And this will we do, if God permit.   
      
   4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have   
   tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,   
      
   5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,   
      
   6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing   
   they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open   
   shame.   
      
   7 For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and   
   bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth   
   blessing from God:   
      
   8 But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto   
   cursing; whose end is to be burned.   
      
   9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that   
   accompany salvation, though we thus speak.   
      
   10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love,   
   which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the   
   saints, and do minister.   
      
   11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the   
   full assurance of hope unto the end:   
      
   12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and   
   patience inherit the promises.   
      
   13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no   
   greater, he sware by himself,   
      
   14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will   
   multiply thee.   
      
   15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.   
      
   16 For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is   
   to them an end of all strife.   
      
   17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of   
   promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:   
      
   18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to   
   lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay   
   hold upon the hope set before us:   
      
   19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast,   
   and which entereth into that within the veil;   
      
   20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high   
   priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
