For we have become partners with Christ, if in fact we hold our initial confidence firm until the end.

For he was looking forward to the city with firm foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

But Christ is faithful as a son over God’s house. We are of his house, if in fact we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope we take pride in.

For if the message spoken through angels proved to be so firm that every violation or disobedience received its just penalty,

Therefore, strengthen your listless hands and your weak knees,

But in your case, dear friends, even though we speak like this, we are convinced of better things relating to salvation.

Therefore since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession.

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, sure and steadfast, which reaches inside behind the curtain,

and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but be healed.

So since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us give thanks, and through this let us offer worship pleasing to God in devotion and awe.
