For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense,

Beware, brethren, that there not be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in withdrawing from the living God;

Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear so that none of you should show evidence of falling short.

Let us therefore be diligent to enter into that rest, that no one fall according to the same example of disobedience.

And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end,

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

not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting; and so much the more as you see the Day drawing near.

but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour those who oppose.

Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled on the Son of God, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of Grace?

It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

indeed while you were made a spectacle both by reproaches and afflictions, and also while you became companions of those who were so treated;

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

Only take heed to yourself and keep your soul diligently, that you not forget the things your eyes have seen, and that they not depart from your heart all the days of your life; and teach them to your children and your grandchildren.

Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life.

Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.

Therefore I run in this manner: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air.

Therefore let him who thinks he is firmly established take heed that he not fall.

We then, as workers together with Him, also beseech you not to receive the grace of God in vain.

Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know, yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you; unless indeed you are ones failing the test?

Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make sure of your calling and election, for if you do these things you will not ever stumble;

Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, of what sort ought you to be in holy behavior and godliness,

Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and without blemish;

Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we have produced, but that we may receive a full reward.

But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,

keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

But I have prayed for you, that your faith does not fail; and when you have returned, strengthen your brethren.

Love never fails. But if there are prophecies, they will come to an end; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will come to an end.

You have become cut off from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by Law; you have fallen from grace.

You have become cut off from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by Law; you have fallen from grace.

Beware, brethren, that there not be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in withdrawing from the living God;

so that there not be among you man or woman or family or tribe, whose heart turns away today from Jehovah our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations, and that there not be among you a root bearing venom or bitterness;

For their vine is of the vine of Sodom and of the fields of Gomorrah; their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter.

What more could have been done to my vineyard that I have not done in it? Why then, when I looked for it to yield grapes, did it yield rotten grapes?

For the vineyard of Jehovah of Hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are His pleasant plant. He looked for justice, but behold bloodshed; for righteousness, but behold an outcry!

Yet I planted you a noble vine, a true seed. How then have you turned into the degenerate shoots of an alien vine to Me?

You will know them from their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?

A good tree is not able to produce evil fruit, nor is a corrupt tree able to produce excellent fruit.

And you shall altogether keep from the devoted things, that you not be accursed when you take of the devoted things, and make the camp of Israel accursed, and trouble it.

And Joshua said, Why have you troubled us? Jehovah shall trouble you this day! And all Israel stoned him with stones; and they burned them with fire after they had stoned them with stones.

And they raised over him a great heap of stones, still there to this day. And Jehovah turned back from His burning anger. Therefore the name of that place has been called the Valley of Achor to this day.

Was the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we are not cleansed to this day, and there was a plague in the congregation of Jehovah,

Nevertheless, if the land of your possession is unclean, then cross over to the land of the possession of Jehovah, where the tabernacle of Jehovah stands, and take possession among us; but do not rebel against Jehovah, nor rebel against us, by building yourselves an altar besides the altar of Jehovah our God.

But sexual perversion and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints;

Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: sexual perversion, uncleanness, passion, evil lusts, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

And Moses said to Aaron, What did this people do to you that you have brought so great a sin upon them?

And He will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, who has sinned and has made Israel sin.

Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves.

Therefore watch, and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears.

Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?

Do not be led astray: Evil company corrupts good character.

And the rest of the Jews also played the hypocrite with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.

But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will proceed to more ungodliness.

And their message will spread like cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort,

But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction.

And many will follow their destructive ways, through whom the way of truth will be blasphemed.

For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through wantonness, the ones who have actually escaped from those living in error.
