has in these last days spoken to us by [the] Son, whom He has appointed heir [of] all things, through whom also He made the worlds;

Therefore having a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast the confession.

But I have been made King by Him on Zion His holy mountain,

declaring the ordinance of the Lord: the Lord has said to Me, You are My Son, today I have begotten You.

Accept correction, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and you should perish from the righteous way. Whenever His wrath shall be suddenly kindled, blessed are all they that trust in Him.

For a Child is born to us, and a Son is given to us, whose government is upon His shoulder; and His name is called the Messenger of great counsel; for I will bring peace upon the princes, and health to Him.

His government shall be great, and of His peace there is no end; [it shall be] upon the throne of David, and [upon] His kingdom, to establish it, and to support [it] with judgment and with righteousness, from this time forward and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts shall perform this.

The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand.

He who believes in the Son has eternal life; and he who does not believe the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him."

"And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write, 'These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass:

who is faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was faithful in all His house.

For this One has been counted worthy of more honor than Moses, inasmuch as He who built the house has more honor than the house.

And I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I shall build My church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.

Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

And what union is there for the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God, just as God has said: "I will dwell in them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people."

in whom the whole building, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord,

in whom you also are being built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.

but if I am delayed, [I write] so that you may know how it is necessary to conduct oneself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and bulwark of the truth.

you also, as living stones, are being built [into] a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

For we have become partakers of Christ, if indeed we hold fast the beginning of the assurance firm until the end,

Let us therefore be diligent to enter into that rest, lest anyone falls in the same example of disobedience.

But we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until [the] end,

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has a great recompense.

But the just shall live by faith, and if he withdraws, My soul has no pleasure in him."

But we are not of [those] shrinking back to destruction, but of faith, to the saving of the soul.

And you will be hated by all [people] for My name's sake. But he who endures to the end shall be saved.

But he who endures to the end shall be saved.

And while we do good, let us not lose heart, for in due season we shall reap if we do not become weary.

if indeed you continue in the faith, having been founded and firm and not drifting away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was proclaimed to all creation under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister.

Only hold fast what you have till I come.

I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no man may take your crown.

through whom also we have had access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

rejoicing in hope, enduring in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer;

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Rejoice always!

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and a good hope by grace,

Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

who by the power of God [are] being guarded through faith for the salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
