For if we deliberately keep on sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins is left for us,

We must go out to him, then, outside the camp, bearing the abuse he experienced.

Besides, we have experienced discipline from our earthly fathers and we respected them; shall we not submit ourselves all the more to the Father of spirits and receive life?

where Jesus our forerunner entered on our behalf, since he became a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.

Therefore we must be wary that, while the promise of entering his rest remains open, none of you may seem to have come short of it.

Thus we must make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by following the same pattern of disobedience.

Therefore we must progress beyond the elementary instructions about Christ and move on to maturity, not laying this foundation again: repentance from dead works and faith in God,

By faith Abel offered God a greater sacrifice than Cain, and through his faith he was commended as righteous, because God commended him for his offerings. And through his faith he still speaks, though he is dead.

Therefore we must pay closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.

For since he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

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

By his will we have been made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

but only a certain fearful expectation of judgment and a fury of fire that will consume God’s enemies.
