- Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
- Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
- And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
- For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
- But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
- Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
- Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.
- So we may boldly say:
“The Lord is my helper;
I will not fear.
What can man do to me?” - Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
- Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward. Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.Next verse!With image
