1 These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab. |
|
2 (There are eleven days’ journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadeshbarnea.) |
|
3 And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the Lord had given him in commandment unto them; |
|
4 After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei: |
|
5 On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying, |
|
6 The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: |
|
7 Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates. |
|
8 Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them. |
|
9 And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone: |
|
10 The Lord your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude. |
|
11 (The Lord God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!) |
|
12 How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife? |
|
13 Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you. |

3 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; |
|
2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. |
|
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. |
|
4 For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God. |
|
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; |
|
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. |
|
7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, |
|
8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: |
|
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. |
|
10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. |
|
11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) |
|
12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. |
|
13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. |
|
14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; |
|
15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. |
|
16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. |
|
17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? |
|
18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? |
|
19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, |
|
2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. |
|
3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. |
|
4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. |
|
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: |
|
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: |
|
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: |
|
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. |
|
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: |
|
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; |
|
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. |
|
12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. |
|
13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. |
|
14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings: |
|
15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; |
|
16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain. |
|
17 Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all. |
|
18 For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me. |
|
|
|
|
|
14 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. |
|
2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. |
|
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be als |
