HEBREWS CHAPTER THIRTEEN VERSES 7-16 (USING KJ TEXT, STUDY BOOK WILL REFERENCE A DIFFERENT VERSION FOR READING) Heb 13:7   Don't forget about your leaders who taught you God's message. Remember what kind of lives they lived and try to have faith like theirs.  Heb 13:8   Jesus Christ never changes ! He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.  Heb 13:9   Don't be fooled by any kind of strange teachings. It is better to receive strength from God's undeserved kindness than to depend on certain foods. After all, these foods don't really help the people who eat them.  Heb 13:10   But we have an altar where even the priests who serve in the place of worship have no right to eat.  Heb 13:11   After the high priest offers the blood of animals as a sin offering, the bodies of those animals are burned outside the camp .  Heb 13:12   Jesus himself suffered outside the city gate, so that his blood would make people holy.  Heb 13:13   That's why we s

This includes encouraging hospitality and refraining from some specific sins and pitfalls. Verse six indicates that there must have been some fo

HEBREWS CHAPTER TWELVE VS 25-29 (USING KJ TEXT, STUDY BOOK WILL REFERENCE A DIFFERENT VERSION FOR READING) Heb 12:25   See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth , much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven :  Heb 12:26   Whose voice then shook the earth : but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven .  Heb 12:27   And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken , as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.  Heb 12:28   Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved , let us have grace , whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:  Heb 12:29   For our God is a consuming fire.  Main Point: The ending is much like 10:31, that signifies a terrifying scenario of rejecting God and in turn being judged by Him for

HEBREWS CHAPTER TWELVE VS 7-13 (USING KJ TEXT, STUDY BOOK WILL REFERENCE A DIFFERENT VERSION FOR READING) Heb 12:7   If ye endure chastening , God dealeth with you as with sons ; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?  Heb 12:8   But if ye be without chastisement , whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons .  Heb 12:9   Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?  Heb 12:10   For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.  Heb 12:11   Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.  Heb 12:12   Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;  Heb 12:13   And ma
