saying, “I will proclaim your name to my brothers; in the midst of the assembly I will praise you.”

“Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of testing in the wilderness.

“There your fathers tested me and tried me, and they saw my works for forty years.

See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has an evil, unbelieving heart that forsakes the living God.

For which ones heard and rebelled? Was it not all who came out of Egypt under Moses’ leadership?

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.

But we passionately want each of you to demonstrate the same eagerness for the fulfillment of your hope until the end,

so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and perseverance inherit the promises.

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

“For I will be merciful toward their evil deeds, and their sins I will remember no longer.”

And both the tabernacle and all the utensils of worship he likewise sprinkled with blood.

Indeed according to the law almost everything was purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

For otherwise would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers would have been purified once for all and so have no further consciousness of sin?

At times you were publicly exposed to abuse and afflictions, and at other times you came to share with others who were treated in that way.

By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac. He had received the promises, yet he was ready to offer up his only son.

He regarded abuse suffered for Christ to be greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for his eyes were fixed on the reward.

By faith he left Egypt without fearing the king’s anger, for he persevered as though he could see the one who is invisible.

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.

Therefore, to sanctify the people by his own blood, Jesus also suffered outside the camp.
