+  <chapter no='1'>
+    <verse no='1'>The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even  cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold  grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that  raise up strife and contention.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go  forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong  judgment proceedeth.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder  marvelously: for I will work a work in your days which ye will not  believe, though it be told you.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty  nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess  the dwellingplaces that are not their's.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their  dignity shall proceed of themselves.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are  more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread  themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as  the eagle that hasteth to eat.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up  as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be  a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall  heap dust, and take it.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and  offend, imputing this his power unto his god.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Art thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One?  we shall not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O  mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not  look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal  treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man  that is more righteous than he?</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping  things, that have no ruler over them?</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in  their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and  are glad.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense  unto their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their meat  plenteous.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare  continually to slay the nations?</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='2'>
+    <verse no='1'>I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and  will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer  when I am reproved.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and  make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end  it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it  will surely come, it will not tarry.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him:  but the just shall live by his faith.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud  man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is  as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations,  and heapeth unto him all people:</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a  taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that  which is not his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick  clay!</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and  awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of  the people shall spoil thee; because of men's blood, and for the  violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house,  that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the  power of evil!</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many  people, and hast sinned against thy soul.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of  the timber shall answer it.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth  a city by iniquity!</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Behold, is it not of the LORD of hosts that the people shall  labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very  vanity?</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the  glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest  thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look  on their nakedness!</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and  let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD's right hand shall  be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing shall be on thy glory.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>For the violence of Lebanon shall cover thee, and the spoil  of beasts, which made them afraid, because of men's blood, and for the  violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath  graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of  his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb  stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and  silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep  silence before him.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='3'>
+    <verse no='1'>A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD,  revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years  make known; in wrath remember mercy.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran.  Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his  praise.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out  of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth  at his feet.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove  asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the  perpetual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and the curtains of  the land of Midian did tremble.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Was the LORD displeased against the rivers? was thine anger  against the rivers? was thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride  upon thine horses and thy chariots of salvation?</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Thy bow was made quite naked, according to the oaths of the  tribes, even thy word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>The mountains saw thee, and they trembled: the overflowing  of the water passed by: the deep uttered his voice, and lifted up his  hands on high.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the  light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering  spear.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst  thresh the heathen in anger.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, even for  salvation with thine anointed; thou woundedst the head out of the house  of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the neck. Selah.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>Thou didst strike through with his staves the head of his  villages: they came out as a whirlwind to scatter me: their rejoicing  was as to devour the poor secretly.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>Thou didst walk through the sea with thine horses, through  the heap of great waters.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the  voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that  I might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up unto the people,  he will invade them with his troops.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit  be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields  shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and  there shall be no herd in the stalls:</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my  salvation.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like  hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the  chief singer on my stringed instruments.</verse>

+  <chapter no='1'>
+    <verse no='1'>In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month,  in the first day of the month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the  prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to  Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, saying,</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, This people say,  The time is not come, the time that the LORD's house should be built.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet,  saying,</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses,  and this house lie waste?</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your  ways.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have  not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you,  but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put  it into a bag with holes.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house;  and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the  LORD.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Ye looked for much, and, lo it came to little; and when ye  brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts.  Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own  house.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the  earth is stayed from her fruit.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the  mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil,  and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon  cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of  Josedech, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed  the voice of the LORD their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet,  as the LORD their God had sent him, and the people did fear before the  LORD.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Then spake Haggai the LORD's messenger in the LORD's message  unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith the LORD.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of  Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of  Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the  people; and they came and did work in the house of the LORD of hosts,  their God,</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the  second year of Darius the king.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='2'>
+    <verse no='1'>In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the  month, came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai, saying,</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of  Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the  residue of the people, saying,</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>Who is left among you that saw this house in her first  glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison  of it as nothing?</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be  strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all  ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work: for I am with you,  saith the LORD of hosts:</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye  came out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little  while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and  the dry land;</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations  shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of  hosts.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of  hosts.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the  former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace,  saith the LORD of hosts.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the  second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet,  saying,</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests concerning  the law, saying,</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with  his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat,  shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body  touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and  said, It shall be unclean.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is  this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their  hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from  before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the LORD:</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>Since those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty  measures, there were but ten: when one came to the pressfat for to draw  out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but twenty.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in  all the labours of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, saith the LORD.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and  twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation  of the LORD's temple was laid, consider it.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the  fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought  forth: from this day will I bless you.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in the four  and twentieth day of the month, saying,</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake  the heavens and the earth;</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will  destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will  overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and  their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee, O  Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD, and will  make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith the LORD of hosts.</verse>

+    <verse no='1'>God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time  past unto the fathers by the prophets,</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he  hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image  of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when  he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the  Majesty on high:</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by  inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art  my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a  Father, and he shall be to me a Son?</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the  world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits,  and his ministers a flame of fire.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever  and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore  God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above  thy fellows.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation  of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall  wax old as doth a garment;</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be  changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my  right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister  for them who shall be heirs of salvation?</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='2'>
+    <verse no='1'>Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the  things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every  transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which  at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us  by them that heard him;</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders,  and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his  own will?</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world  to come, whereof we speak.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man,  that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest him?</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou  crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works  of thy hands:</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For  in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not  put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the  angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that  he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are  all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of  their salvation perfect through sufferings.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are  all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the  midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I  and the children which God hath given me.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and  blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through  death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the  devil;</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And deliver them who through fear of death were all their  lifetime subject to bondage.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he  took on him the seed of Abraham.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto  his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in  things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the  people.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is  able to succour them that are tempted.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='3'>
+    <verse no='1'>Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling,  consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses  was faithful in all his house.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses,  inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the  house.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>For every house is builded by some man; but he that built  all things is God.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a  servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we,  if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto  the end.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear  his voice,</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of  temptation in the wilderness:</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works  forty years.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They  do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil  heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day;  lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the  beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden  not your hearts, as in the provocation.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all  that came out of Egypt by Moses.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with  them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his  rest, but to them that believed not?</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='4'>
+    <verse no='1'>Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of  entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them:  but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith  in them that heard it.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said,  As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although  the works were finished from the foundation of the world.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein,  and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of  unbelief:</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not  afterward have spoken of another day.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased  from his own works, as God did from his.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any  man fall after the same example of unbelief.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='5'>
+    <verse no='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:</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also  for himself, to offer for sins.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is  called of God, as was Aaron.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for  ever after the order of Melchisedec.</verse>
+    <verse no='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;</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things  which he suffered;</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal  salvation unto all them that obey him;</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered,  seeing ye are dull of hearing.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of  righteousness: for he is a babe.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='6'>
+    <verse no='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,</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and  of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And this will we do, if God permit.</verse>
+    <verse no='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,</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the  world to come,</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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:</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is  nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and  things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And we desire that every one of you do shew the same  diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through  faith and patience inherit the promises.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear  by no greater, he sware by himself,</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I  will multiply thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the  promise.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for  confirmation is to them an end of all strife.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs  of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:</verse>
+    <verse no='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:</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and  stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made  an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='7'>
+    <verse no='1'>For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high  God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and  blessed him;</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being  by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of  Salem, which is, King of peace;</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>Without father, without mother, without descent, having  neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son  of God; abideth a priest continually.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the  patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive  the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the  people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they  come out of the loins of Abraham:</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>But he whose descent is not counted from them received  tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the  better.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth  them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed  tithes in Abraham.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec  met him.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood,  (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there  that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not  be called after the order of Aaron?</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity  a change also of the law.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another  tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which  tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And it is yet far more evident: for that after the  similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but  after the power of an endless life.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the  order of Melchisedec.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going  before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a  better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>(For those priests were made without an oath; but this with  an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent,  Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And they truly were many priests, because they were not  suffered to continue by reason of death:</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an  unchangeable priesthood.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that  come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for  them.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless,  undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up  sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this  he did once, when he offered up himself.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity;  but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who  is consecrated for evermore.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='8'>
+    <verse no='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;</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle,  which the Lord pitched, and not man.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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:</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should  no place have been sought for the second.</verse>
+    <verse no='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:</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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:</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their  sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='9'>
+    <verse no='1'>Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine  service, and a worldly sanctuary.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the  candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the  sanctuary.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called  the Holiest of all;</verse>
+    <verse no='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;</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat;  of which we cannot now speak particularly.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went  always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.</verse>
+    <verse no='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:</verse>
+    <verse no='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:</verse>
+    <verse no='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;</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings,  and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.</verse>
+    <verse no='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;</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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:</verse>
+    <verse no='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?</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be  the death of the testator.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it  is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without  blood.</verse>
+    <verse no='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,</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath  enjoined unto you.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and  all the vessels of the ministry.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and  without shedding of blood is no remission.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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:</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high  priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this  the judgment:</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='10'>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of  sins every year.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats  should take away sins.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice  and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no  pleasure.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is  written of me,) to do thy will, O God.</verse>
+    <verse no='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;</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh  away the first, that he may establish the second.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of  the body of Jesus Christ once for all.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering  oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins  for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his  footstool.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are  sanctified.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after  that he had said before,</verse>
+    <verse no='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;</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering  for sin.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the  holiest by the blood of Jesus,</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us,  through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And having an high priest over the house of God;</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without  wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to  good works:</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the  knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery  indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or  three witnesses:</verse>
+    <verse no='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?</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living  God.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye  were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great  recompence of reward.</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the  will of God, ye might receive the promise.</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come,  and will not tarry.</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back,  my soul shall have no pleasure in him.</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of  them that believe to the saving of the soul.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='11'>
+    <verse no='1'>Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence  of things not seen.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>For by it the elders obtained a good report.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by  the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things  which do appear.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice  than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God  testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death;  and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his  translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he  that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder  of them that diligently seek him.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as  yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by  the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness  which is by faith.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place  which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went  out, not knowing whither he went.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a  strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the  heirs with him of the same promise:</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose  builder and maker is God.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>Through faith also Sara herself received strength to  conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age,  because she judged him faithful who had promised.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead,  so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is  by the sea shore innumerable.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>These all died in faith, not having received the promises,  but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced  them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek  a country.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from  whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly:  wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath  prepared for them a city.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and  he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the  dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to  come.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons  of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing  of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of  his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not  afraid of the king's commandment.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be  called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God,  than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the  treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the  reward.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the  king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of  blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land:  which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were  compassed about seven days.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that  believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to  tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David  also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness,  obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the  sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned  to flight the armies of the aliens.</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>Women received their dead raised to life again: and others  were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a  better resurrection:</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea,  moreover of bonds and imprisonment:</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were  slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins;  being destitute, afflicted, tormented;</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>(Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in  deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>And these all, having obtained a good report through faith,  received not the promise:</verse>
+    <verse no='40'>God having provided some better thing for us, that they  without us should not be made perfect.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='12'>
+    <verse no='1'>Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a  cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which  doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is  set before us,</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who  for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the  shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners  against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto  you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the  Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every  son whom he receiveth.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons;  for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are  partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected  us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in  subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own  pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his  holiness.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but  grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of  righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble  knees;</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no  man shall see the Lord:</verse>
+    <verse no='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;</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau,  who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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,</verse>
+    <verse no='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:</verse>
+    <verse no='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:</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I  exceedingly fear and quake:)</verse>
+    <verse no='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,</verse>
+    <verse no='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,</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the  blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.</verse>
+    <verse no='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:</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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:</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>For our God is a consuming fire.</verse>

+  <chapter no='13'>
+    <verse no='1'>Let brotherly love continue.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some  have entertained angels unawares.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and  them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but  whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will  not fear what man shall do unto me.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which  serve the tabernacle.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with  his own blood, suffered without the gate.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing  his reproach.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to  come.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such  sacrifices God is well pleased.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all  things willing to live honestly.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be  restored to you the sooner.</verse>
+    <verse no='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,</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation:  for I have written a letter unto you in few words.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with  whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the  saints. They of Italy salute you.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>Grace be with you all. Amen.</verse>
