For it became him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, after that he had brought many sons unto glory, that he should make the **Lord of their salvation perfect through suffering. For he that sanctifieth, and they which are sanctified, are all of one. For which causes sake he is not ashamed to call them brethren saying: I will declare thy name unto my brethren, and in the midst of the **congregation will I praise thee. And again: I will put my trust in him. And again: behold here am I and the children which God hath given me.

**Lord of their salvation made into a captain in and of the bibles of men. **congregation of God is made into a church in and of the bibles of man.

For as much then as the children were partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part with them, for to put down through death, him that had lordship over death, that is to say the devil, and that he might deliver them which through fear of death were all their lifetime in danger of bondage. For he in no place taketh on him the angels: but the seed of Abraham taketh he on him. Wherefore in all things it became him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be merciful, and a faithful high Priest in things concerning God, for to purge the peoples sins. For in that he himself suffered and was tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

The 3rd Chapter

Therefore holy brethren, partakers of the celestial callings consider the ambassador and high priest of our profession Christ Jesus, which was faithful to him that made him, even as was Moses in all his house. And yet was this man counted worthy of more glory than Moses: In as much as he which hath prepared the house, hath most honour in the house. Every house is prepared of some man. But he that ordained all things, is God. And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a minister, to bear witness of those things which should be spoken afterward. But Christ as a son, hath rule over the house, whose house are we, so that we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of that hope, unto the end.

Wherefore as the holy ghost saith: today if ye shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts, after the rebellion in the day of temptation in the wilderness, where your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years long. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation and said: They *erre (error) ever in their hearts: they verily have not known my ways so that I sware in my wrath, that they should not enter into my rest. Take heed brethren that there be in none of you an evil heart in unbelief, that he should depart from the living God: but exhort one another daily, while it is called today, lest any of you wax hard hearted through the deceitfulness of sin.

*erre: from the word earnest, money paid as part payment to bind a contract or bargain. Hebrew meaning to pledge. We see here then, the hope or pledge that was in their hearts, was of them selves, and not devoted to believe in Gods promises.

We are partakers of Christ if we keep sure unto the end the first substance, so long as it is said: today if ye hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as when ye rebelled. For some, when they heard, rebelled: how be it not all that came out of Egypt under Moses. But with whom was he displeased forty years? Was he not displeased with them that sinned whose carcasses were overthrown in the desert? To whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest: but unto them that believed not? And we see that they could not enter in, because of unbelief.

The 4th Chapter

Let us fear therefore lest any of us forsaking the promise of entering into his rest, should seem to come behind. For unto us was it declared, as well as unto them. But it profited not them that they heard the word, because they which heard it, coupled it not with faith. But we which have believed, do enter into his rest, as contrariwise he said to the other: I have sworn in my wrath, they shall not enter into my rest. And that spake he verily long after that the works were made and the foundation of the world laid. For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day, on this wise: And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. And in this place again: **They shall not come into my rest.

**They shall not come into my rest. contrary again the bibles of men say ", If they shall enter into my rest. "

Seeing therefore it followeth that some must enter thereinto, and they to whom it was first preached, entered not therein for unbeliefs sake. Again he appointeth in David a certain present day after so long a time, saying as it is rehearsed: this day if ye hear his voice, be not hard hearted. For if**Joshua had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth therefore yet a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, doth cease from his own works as God did from his.

**Joshua  (Josue in the 1527 original) yet in and of the bibles of man the name of Jesus is added here.

Let us study therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example, into unbelief. For the word of God is quick, and mighty in operation, and sharper then any two edged sword: and entereth through, even unto the dividing asunder of the soul and the spirit, and of the joints and the mary (marrow? ) : and judgeth the thoughts and the intents of the heart: neither is there any creature invisible in the sight of it. For all things are naked and bare unto the eyes of him, of whom we speak.

The 5th Chapter

Seeing then that we have a great high priest which is entered into heaven (I mean Jesus the son of God) let us hold our profession. For we have not an high priest, which cannot have compassion on our infirmities: but was in all points tempted, like as we are: but yet without sin. Let us therefore go boldly unto the seat of grace, that we may receive mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

For every high priest that is taken from among men is ordained for men, in things pertaining to God: to offer gifts and sacrifices for sin: which can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way, because that he himself also is compassed with infirmity: For the which infirmities sake he is bound to offer for sins, as well for his own part, as for the peoples. And no man taketh honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.

Even so likewise, Christ glorified not himself, to be made the high priest: but he that said unto him: thou art my son, this day begat I thee, glorified him. As he also in another place speaketh: Thou art a Priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. Which in the days of his flesh, did offer up prayers and supplications, with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death and was also heard, **because of his Godliness. And though he were Gods son, yet learned he obedience, by those things which he suffered, and was made perfect, and the cause of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him: and is called of God an high Priest, after the order of Melchisedec.

 **because of his Godliness. is replaced by in that he feared of and in the bibles of man.

Whereof we have many things to say which are hard to be uttered: because ye are dull of hearing. For when as concerning the time, ye ought to be teachers, yet have ye need again that we teach you the first principles of the **word of God: and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat: For every man that is fed with milk, is inexpert in the word of righteousness. For he is but a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are perfect which through custom have their wits exercised, **to judge both good and evil also.

**word of God is replaced by oracles of and in the bibles of man. **to judge is taken out and replaced with "to discern" in and of the bibles of man.

The 6th Chapter

**Therefore let us love the doctrine pertaining to the beginning of a Christian man, and let us go unto perfection, and now no more lay the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, of baptism, of doctrine, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection from death, and of eternal judgement. And so will we do, if God permit. For it is not possible that they which were once lighted, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were become partakers of the holy ghost, and have tasted of the good word of God, and of the power of the world to come: if they fall, should be renewed again unto repentance: for as much as they have (as concerning them selves) crucified the son of God afresh, making a mock of him.

**Therefore let us love the doctrine pertaining to the beginning of a Christian man,..or of the bibles of man :Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, l

For that earth which drinketh in the rain which cometh often upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet (worthy) for them that dress it, receiveth blessing of God. But that ground which beareth thorns and briars, is reproved, and is nigh unto cursing: whose end is to be burned.

Nevertheless dear friends, we trust to see better of you and things which accompany salvation, though we thus speak. For God is not unrighteous that he should forget your work and labour that proceedeth of love, which love showed in his name, which have ministered unto the saints, and yet minister. Yee, and we desire that every one of you show the same diligence, to the establishing of hope, even unto the end: that ye faint not, but follow them, which through faith and patience inherit the promises.

For when God made promise to Abraham because he had no greater thing to swear by, he sware by him self, saying: Surely I will bless thee and multiply thee indeed. And so after that he had tarried a long time, he enjoyed the promise. Men verily swear by him that is greater than them selves, and an oath to confirming the thing is among them an end of all strife. So God willing very abundantly to show unto the heirs of promise, the stableness of his counsel, he added an oath, that by two immutable things (in which it was unpossible that God should lie) we might have perfect consolation, which have fled, for to hold fast the hope that is set before us, which hope we have as an anchor of the soul both sure and steadfast. Which hope also entereth in, into those things which are within the veil, whither the forerunner is for us entered in, I mean Jesus that is made an high priest for ever, after the order of Melchisedech.

The 7th Chapter

This Melchisedech king of Salem (which being priest of the most high God, met Abraham, as he returned again from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him: to whom also Abraham **gave tithes of all things) first is by interpretation king of righteousness: after that he is king of Salem, that is to say king of peace, without father without mother, without kin, and hath neither beginning of his time, neither yet end of his life: but is likened unto the son of God and continueth a priest for ever.

**gave tithes of all things ..this changed and charged by and of the churches of man into 10% ...even unto today.

Consider what a man this was unto whom the Patriarch Abraham **gave tithes of the spoils. And verily those children of Levi, which receive the office of the priests, have a commandment to take according to the law, tithes of the people, that is to say, of their brethren, yee though they sprung out of the loins of Abraham. But he whose kindred is not counted among them received tithes of Abraham and blessed him that had the promises. And with out nay saying, he which is less, receiveth blessing of him which is greater. And here men that die, receive tithes. But there he receiveth tithes of whom it is witnessed, that he liveth. And to say the truth, Levi him self also which receiveth tithes, paid tithes in Abraham. For he was yet in the loins of his father Abraham when Melchisedec met him.

**gave tithes of the spoils. again the 10% is added to the bibles of or for the churches.

If now therefore perfection came by the priesthood of the Levites (for under that priesthood the people received the law) what needed it furthermore that another priest should rise, after the order of Melchisedech, and not after the order of Aaron? Now no doubt, if the priesthood be translated, then of necessity must the law be translated also.

For he of whom these things are spoken, pertaineth unto another tribe, of which never man served at the altar. For it is evident that our Lord sprung of the tribe of Juda, of which tribe spake Moses nothing concerning priesthood. And it is yet a more evident thing, if after the similitude of Melchisedech, there arise another priest, which is not made after the law of the carnal commandment: but after the power of the endless life (For he testifieth: Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchisedech). Then the commandment that went a fore, is disannulled, because of her weakness and unprofitableness. For the law made nothing perfect: but was an introduction of a better hope, by which hope, we draw nigh unto God.

And for this cause it is a better hope that it was not promised with out an oath. Those priests were made without an oath: but this priest with an oath, by him that said unto him. The Lord sware, and will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedech. And for that cause was Jesus a stablisher of a better testament.

And among them many were made priests, because they were not suffered to endure by the reason of death. But this man, because he endureth ever hath an **everlasting priesthood. Wherefore he is able also ever to save them that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth, to make intercession for us.

**everlasting priesthood. is changed ..to unchangable priesthood ...

Such an high Priest it became us to have, which is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher then heaven. Which needeth not daily (as yonder high priests) to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the peoples sins. For that did he at once for all, when he offered up himself. For the law maketh men priests, which have infirmity: but the word of the oath that came since the law, maketh the **son priest, which is **perfect for ever more.

**son priest, which is **perfect for ever more.  chopped away priest and perfect...of Jesus..         

The 8th Chapter

Of the things which we have spoken, this is the *pith: that we have such an high priest that is sitten on the right hand of the seat of majesty in heaven and is a minister of holy things, and of the very tabernacle which God *pyght, and not man. For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have some what also to offer. For he were not a priest, if he were on the earth where are priests that according to the law offer gifts, which priests serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things: even as the answer of God was given unto Moses when he was about to finish the tabernacle: Take heed (said he) that thou make all things according to the patrone (patron,pattern ) showed to thee in the mount.

*pith (heart, core, center) *pyght: plight from troth, as in betrothed to be married, solemn oath, faith.

Now hath he obtained a more excellent office, in as much as he is the mediator of a better testament, which was made for better promises. For if that first testament had been faultless: then should no place have been sought for the second. For in rebuking them he saith: Behold the days will come (saith the Lord) and I will finish upon the house of Israel, and upon the house of Judah, a new testament: not like the testament that I made with their fathers at that time, when I took them by the hands, to lead them out of the land of Egypt, for they continued not in my testament, and I regarded them not saith the Lord.

For this is the testament that I will make with the house of Israel: After those days saith the Lord: I will put my laws in their minds, and in their hearts I will write them, and **I will be their God, and they shall be **my people. And they shall not teach, every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying: know the Lord: For they shall know me, from the least to the most of them: For I will be merciful over their unrighteousness, and on their sins and on their iniquities. In that he saith a new testament, he hath abrogated (canceled) the old. Now that which is disannulled and waxed old, is ready to vanish away.

**I will be their God, or of the bibles of man "and I will be to them a God,"**my people ...or be to me a people.

The 9th Chapter

That, that first tabernacle verily had ordinances, and servings of God, and worldly **holiness. For there was a fore tabernacle made, wherein was the candlestick and the table, and the show bread, which is called **holy. But within the second veil was there a tabernacle, which is called holiest of all, which had the golden censer, and the ark of the testament overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot with Manna, and Aarons rod that sprung and the tables of the testament. Over the ark were the cherubims of glory shadowing the seat of grace. Of which things, we will not now speak particularly.

**holiness. and **holy. both replaced by "sanctuary" of the bibles of the churches of man.

When these things were thus ordained, the Priests went all ways into the first tabernacle and executed the service of God. But into the second went the high priest alone, once every year: and not without blood, which he offered for him self, and for the ignorance of the people. Wherewith the holy ghost this signifying that the way of holy things, was not yet opened, while as yet the first tabernacle was standing. Which was a similitude for the time then present, and in which were offered gifts and sacrifices that could not make them that minister perfect, as pertaining to the conscience, with only meats and drinks, and diverse washings and justifyings of the flesh, which were ordained until the time of reformation.

But Christ being an high priest of good things to come, came by a greater and a more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands: that is to say, not of this manner building, neither by the blood of goats and calves: but by his own blood he entered once for all into the holy place, and found eternal redemption. For if the blood of oxen and of goats and the ashes of an heifer, when it was sprinkled, purified the unclean, as touching the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ (which through the eternal spirit, offered him self without spot to God) purge your consciences from dead works for to serve the living God?

And for this cause is he the mediator of the new testament, that through death which chanced for the redemption of those transgressions that were in the first testament, they which were called, might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. For wheresoever is a testament, there must also be the death of him that maketh the testament. For the testament taketh authority when men are dead: For it is of no value as long as he that made it, is alive. For which cause also, neither that first testament was ordained without blood. For when all the commandments were read of Moses unto all the people, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water and **purple wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, saying: this is the blood of the testament which God hath appointed unto you. Moreover, he sprinkled the tabernacle with blood also, and all the ministering vessels. And almost all things, are by the law, purged with blood, and with out shedding of blood is no remission.

**purple wool is turned to "scarlet" in and of the bibles of the churches of man.

It is then need that the similitudes of heavenly things be purified with such things: but the heavenly things themselves are purified with better sacrifices than are those. For Christ is not entered into the holy places that are made with hands, which are but similitudes of true things: but is entered into very heaven, for to appear now in the sight of God for us: not to offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with strange blood, for then must he have often suffered since the world began. But now in the end of the world, hath he appeared once, to put sin to flight, by the offering up of himself: And as it is appointed unto men that they shall once die, and then cometh the judgment, even so Christ was once offered to take away the sins of many, and unto them that look for him, shall he appear again without sin, unto salvation.

The 10th Chapter

For the law which hath but the shadow of good things to come, and not the things in their own fashion can never with the sacrifices which they offer year by year continually, make the comers thereunto perfect. For would not then those sacrifices have ceased to have been offered, because that the offerers once purged should have had no more consciences of sins. Nevertheless in those sacrifices is there mention made of sins every year. For it is unpossible that the blood of oxen and of goats should take away sins.

Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith: Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not have: but a body hast thou ordained me. In sacrifices and sinofferings thou hast no lust. Then I said: Lo I come, in the chiefest of the book it is written of me, that I should do thy will, O' God. Above, when he had said sacrifice and offering, and burnt sacrifices and sinofferings thou wouldest not have, neither hast allowed (which yet are offered by the law) and then said: Lo I come to do thy will, O' God: he taketh away the first to establish the latter. By the which will, we are sanctified: by the offering of the body of *Jesu Christ once for all.

*Jesu: Hebrew for Jesus.

And every priest is ready daily ministering, and often times offereth one manner of offering which can never take away sins. But this man after he had offered one sacrifice for sins, sat him down for ever on the right hand of God, and from henceforth tarrieth till his foes be made his footstool. For with one offering hath he made perfect for ever them that are sanctified. And the holy ghost also beareth us record of this, even when he told before: This is the testament that I will make unto them: after those days saith the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts and in their mind I will write them, and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. And where remission of these things is, there is no more offering for sin.

Seeing brethren that by the means of the blood of Jesu, we may be bold to enter into that holy place, by the new and living way which he hath prepared for us, through the veil, that is to say, by his flesh. And seeing also that we have an high priest which is ruler over the house of God, let us draw nigh with a true heart in a full faith, sprinkled in our hearts from an evil conscience, and washed in our bodies with pure water: and let us keep the profession of our hope, without wavering (for he is faithful that promised) and let us consider one another, to provoke unto love, and to good works: **and let us not forsake the fellowship that we have among ourselves, as the manner of some is: but let us exhort one another, and that so much the more, because ye see that the day draweth nigh.

**and let us not forsake the fellowship that we have among ourselves, is rewritten into "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together," in the bibles of man by and for the churches and religions. 

For if we sin willingly after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins but a fearful looking for judgment, and violent fire, which shall devour the adversaries. He that despiseth Moses law, dieth without mercy under two or three witnesses. Of how much sorer punishment suppose ye shall he be counted worthy, which treadeth under foot the son of God: and counteth the blood of the testament as an unholy thing wherewith he was sanctified, and doth dishonour to the spirit of grace. For we know him that hath said: vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense saith the Lord. And again: the Lord shall judge his people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Call to remembrance the days that are passed, in the which after ye had received light, ye endured a great fight in adversities, partly while all men wondered and gazed at you for the shame and tribulation that was done unto you, and partly while ye became companions of them which so passed their time. For ye suffered also with my bonds, and took in worth the spoiling of your Goods, and that with gladness: knowing in your selves how that ye had in heaven a better and an enduring substance. Cast not away therefore your confidence which hath great reward to recompense. For ye have need of patience, that after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a very little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. But the just shall live by faith. And if he withdraw himself my soul shall have no pleasure in him. We are not which withdraw our selves unto damnation, but pertain to faith, to the winning of the soul.

The 11th Chapter

Faith is a **sure confidence of things which are hoped for, and **a certainty of things which are not seen. By it the elders were well reported of. Through faith we understand that the world was ordained by the word of God and that things which are seen, were made of things which are not seen. By faith Abel offered unto God a more plenteous sacrifice than Cain: by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: by which also he being dead, yet speaketh.

**sure confidence and **a certainty of things which are not seen; is taken out of the bibles of man.

By faith was Enoch translated that he should not see death: neither was he found: for God had taken him away. Before he was taken away, he was reported of, that he had pleased God: but without faith it is unpossible to please him. For he that cometh to God must believe that God is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seek him.

By faith Noah honoured God, after that he was warned of things which were not seen **and prepared the ark to the saving of his household, through the which ark, he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which cometh by faith.

** bibles of man insert here that Noah was moved with fear

By faith Abraham, when he was called obeyed, to go out into a place, which he should afterward receive to inheritance, and he went out not knowing whither he should go.

By faith he removed into the land that was promised him, as into a strange country, and dwelt in tabernacles: and so did Isaac and Jacob heirs with him of the same promise. For he looked for a city having a foundation whose builder and maker is God.

Through faith Sara also received strength to be with child and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful which had promised.

And therefore sprang thereof, one (and of one which was as good as dead) so many in multitude, as the stars of the sky, and as the sand of the seashore which is innumerable.

And they all died in faith, and received not the promises: but saw them afar off, and believed them, and saluted them: and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. They that say such things, declare that they seek a country. Also if they had been mindful of that country, from whence they came out, they had leisure to have returned again: But now they desire a better, that is to say a heavenly. Wherefore God is not ashamed of them, even to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

By faith Abraham offered up Isaac, when he was tempted, and he offered him being his only begotten son, which had received the promises of whom it was said, in Isaac shall thy seed be called: for he considered that God was able to raise up again from death. Therefore received he him, for an example. In faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, concerning things to come.

By faith Jacob when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph, and bowed himself toward the top of his sceptre.

By faith Joseph when he died, remembered the departing of the children of Israel, and gave commandment of his bones.

By faith Moses when he was born, was hid three months of his father and mother, because they saw he was a proper child: neither feared they the kings commandment.

By faith Moses when he was great, refused to be called the son of Pharaohs daughter, and chose rather to suffer adversity with the people of God, then to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season, and esteemed the rebuke of Christ greater riches then the treasure of Egypt. For he had a respect unto the reward.

By faith he forsook Egypt, and feared not the fierceness of the king. For he endured even as he had seen him which is invisible.

Through faith he ordained the *ester lamb, and the effusion of blood, lest he that destroyed the first born, should touch them.

*ester lamb: this is the lamb offered at the first passover.

By faith they passed through the reed sea as by dry land, which when the Egyptians had assayed to do, they were drowned.

By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were compassed about seven days.

By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with the unbelievers, when she had received the spies to lodging peaceably.

And what shall I more say, the time would be too short for me to tell of Gideon, of Barach, and of Samson, and of Jephthae: also of David and Samuel, and of the Prophets: Which through faith subdued kingdoms wrought righteousness, obtained the promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, of weak were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. And the women received their dead raised to life again. Others were racked, and would not be delivered, that they might receive a better resurrection.

Others tasted of mockings and scourgings, moreover of bonds and prisonment: were stoned, were hewn asunder, were tempted, were slain with swords, walked up and down in sheepskins, in goatskins, in need tribulation and vexation which the world was not worthy of: they wandered in wilderness, in mountains, in dens and caves of the earth.

And these all through faith obtained good report and received not the promise, God providing a better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

The 12th Chapter

Wherefore let us also (seeing that we are compassed with so great a multitude of witnesses) lay away all that presseth down, and the sin that hangeth on, and let us run with patience unto the battle that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith, which for the joy that was set before him, abode the cross, and despised the shame, and is set down on the right hand of the throne of God. Consider therefore how that he endured such speaking against him of sinners, lest ye should be wearied and faint in your minds. For ye have not yet resisted unto blood shedding, striving against sin. And ye have forgotten the consolation, which speaketh unto you, as unto children: My son despise not the chastening of the Lord, neither faint when thou art rebuked of him: For whom the Lord loveth, him he chasteneth: yee, and he scourgeth every son that he receiveth.

If ye endure chastening, God **offereth himself unto you as unto sons. What son is that whom the father chasteneth not? If ye be not under correction (where of all are partakers) then are ye bastards and not sons. Moreover seeing we had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: should we not much rather be in subjection unto the father **of spiritual gifts that we might live? And they verily for a few days, nurtured us after their own pleasure: but he learneth us unto that which is profitable, that we might receive of his holiness. No manner chastising for the present time seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward, it bringeth the quiet fruit of righteousness, unto them which are therin exercised.

**offereth himself unto you as unto sons. or "dealeth with you" as of the bibles of man...subjection unto the father **of spiritual gifts ...or of the biles of man "the father of spirits" ...

Stretch forth therefore again the hands which were let down, and the weak knees, and see that ye have straight steps unto your feet, lest any halting turn out of the way: yee let it rather be healed. Embrace peace with all men and holiness: without the which, no man shall see the Lord. And look to, that no man be destitute of the grace of God, and that no root of bitterness spring up and trouble, and thereby many be defiled: and that there be no fornicator, or unclean person, as Esau, which for one breakfast sold his birthright. Ye know how that afterward when he would have inherited the blessing, he was put by, and he found no means to come thereby again: no though he desired it with tears.

For ye are not come unto the mount that can be touched, and unto burning fire nor yet to mist and darkness and tempest of weather, neither unto the sound of a trumpet and the voice of words: which voice they that heard it, wished away: that the communication should not be spoken to them. For they were not able to abide that which was spoken. If a beast had touched the mountain, it must have been stoned, or thrust through with a dart: even so terrible was the sight which appeared. Moses said, I fear and quake. But ye are come unto the mount Sion, and to the city of the living God, the celestial Jerusalem: and to an innumerable sight of angels, and unto **the congregation of the first born sons, which are written in heaven, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of just and perfect men and to Jesus the mediator of the new testament, and to the sprinkling of blood that speaketh better then the blood of Abel.

**the congregation of the first born sons, changed to " the general assembly and church of the firstborn ...by and for the church no doubt.

See that ye despise not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not which refused him that spake on earth: much more shall we not escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: whose voice then shook the earth, and now declareth saying: yet once more will I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. No doubt the same that he sayeth, yet once more, signifieth the removing away of those things which are shaken, as of things which have ended their course: that the things which are not shaken, may remain. Wherefore if we receive a kingdom which is not moved we have grace, whereby we may serve God and please him with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire.

The 13th Chapter

Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to lodge strangers. For thereby have diverse received angels into their houses unawares. Remember them that are in bonds, even as though ye were bound with them. Be mindful of them which are in adversity, as ye which are yet in your bodies. Let wedlock be had in price in all points, and let the chamber be undefiled for whorekeepers and *advoutrers God will judge. Let your conversation be without covetousness and be content with that ye have already. For he verily said: I will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: that we may boldly say: the Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man doeth unto me. Remember them which have the **oversight of you, which have declared unto you the word of God. The end of whose conversation see that ye look upon, and follow their faith.

*advoutry: prefix "a" meaning not or without, devout: devotion; plain hearted to God, being devoted to something or some one else. see James 2 for adultery **oversight of you, is changed to "rule over you" in the bibles of the churches and religions.

Jesus Christ yesterday and today, and **the same continueth for ever. Be not carried about with diverse and strange learning. For it Is a good thing that the heart be stablished with grace, and not with meats, which have not profited them that have had their pastime in them. We have an altar whereof they may not eat which serve in the tabernacle. For the bodies of those beasts whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest to purge sin, are burnt without the tents. Therefore Jesus, to sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. Let us go forth therefore out of the tents, and suffer rebuke with him. For here have we no continuing city: but we seek one to come.

**the same continueth; why would this be taken out of the bibles of man?

For by him offer we the sacrifice of laud (praise, honor) always to God: that is to say, the fruit of those lips, which **confess his name. To do good, and to **distribute forget not, for with such sacrifices God is pleased. Obey them that have **the oversight of you, and submit yourselves to them, for they watch for your souls, even as they that must give accounts: that they may do it with joy, and not with grief. For that is an unprofitable thing for you. Pray for us. We have confidence because we have a good conscience in all things, and **desire to live honestly. I desire you therefore somewhat the more abundantly, that ye so do, that I may be restored to you quickly.

**confess his name is changed to give thanks to his name...and to distribute is changed to communicate ...**the oversight of you, is changed to the rule over you ...**desire is changed to be willing...of the bibles of the churches of man.

The God of peace that brought again from death our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting testament, make you perfect in all good works, to do his will, working in you that which is pleasant in his sight through Jesus Christ. To whom be praise for ever while the world endureth. Amen.

I beseech you brethren, suffer the words of exhortation: For we have written unto you in few words: know the brother Timothy, whom we have sent from us, with whom (if he come shortly) I will see you. Salute them that have **the oversight of you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you. Grace be with you all. Amen.

**the oversight of you, is changed to the rule over you ..again of the bibles of the churches and religions of man.

Here endeth the epistle of saint Paul unto the Hebrews
