   nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness   
   unto them which are exercised thereby.   
      
   12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;   
      
   13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be   
   turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.   
      
   14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall   
   see the Lord:   
      
   15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any   
   root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;   
      
   16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one   
   morsel of meat sold his birthright.   
      
   17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the   
   blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though   
   he sought it carefully with tears.   
      
   18 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that   
   burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,   
      
   19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they   
   that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:   
      
   20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much   
   as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through   
   with a dart:   
      
   21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear   
   and quake:)   
      
   22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God,   
   the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,   
      
   23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are   
   written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of   
   just men made perfect,   
      
   24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of   
   sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.   
      
   25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who   
   refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we   
   turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:   
      
   26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying,   
   Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.   
      
   27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things   
   that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which   
   cannot be shaken may remain.   
      
   28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have   
   grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:   
      
   29 For our God is a consuming fire.   
      
   Hebrews Chapter 13   
      
   1 Let brotherly love continue.   
      
   2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have   
   entertained angels unawares.   
      
   3 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which   
   suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.   
      
   4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers   
   and adulterers God will judge.   
      
   5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with   
   such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor   
   forsake thee.   
      
   6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear   
   what man shall do unto me.   
      
   7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you   
   the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their   
   conversation.   
      
   8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.   
      
   9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a   
   good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats,   
   which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.   
      
   10 We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the   
   tabernacle.   
      
   11 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the   
   sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.   
      
   12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own   
   blood, suffered without the gate.   
      
   13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his   
   reproach.   
      
   14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.   
      
   15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God   
   continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.   
      
   16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such   
   sacrifices God is well pleased.   
      
   17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for   
   they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may   
   do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.   
      
   18 Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things   
   willing to live honestly.   
      
   19 But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to   
   you the sooner.   
      
   20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord   
   Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the   
   everlasting covenant,   
      
   21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you   
   that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom   
   be glory for ever and ever. Amen.   
      
   22 And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I   
   have written a letter unto you in few words.   
      
   23 Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he   
   come shortly, I will see you.   
      
   24 Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They   
   of Italy salute you.   
      
   25 Grace be with you all. Amen. (Written to the Hebrews from Italy, by   
   Timothy.)
