A COLLECTION OF EPISTLES

E-13 And again, I'll trust in Him. And again, behold, I am and the children whom God has given me.

14 And as children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also took them up, that by death he might take away the power of him that hath the power of death, that is, the devil,

15 and to deliver those who, for fear of death, had been subject to slavery all their lives.

16 For he does not receive angels, but the seed of Abraham.

17 Therefore he had to be made like the brethren in all things, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest before God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

18 For as he himself endured when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

1 Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, understand the Messenger and High Priest of our confession, Jesus Christ,

2 Who is faithful to him that hath set him up, as Moses was in all his house.

3 For he is worthy of greater glory in the sight of Moses, in proportion as he who built it has greater honor in comparison with the house,

4 For every house is built by somebody; but he who has arranged all things is God.

5 And Moses is faithful in all his house, as a servant, to bear witness to the things that ought to be declared;

6 but Christ is as the Son in His house; but we are His house, if only we keep the boldness and hope of which we boast firmly to the end.

7 Wherefore, as the Holy Spirit says, now, when ye hear his voice,

8 Harden not your hearts, as in the time of murmuring, in the day of temptation in the wilderness,

9 where your fathers tempted me, tried me, and saw my works forty years.

10 Therefore I was indignant with this generation, and said, 'They are continually deceived in their hearts, they have not known my ways;

11 Therefore I have sworn in my wrath that they shall not enter into my rest.
