Ibrani 3:12-19

3:12 See to it, ¹  brothers and sisters, ²  that none of you has ³  an evil, unbelieving heart that forsakes ⁴  the living God. ⁵  3:13 But exhort one another each day, as long as it is called “Today,” that none of you may become hardened by sin’s deception. 3:14 For we have become partners with Christ, if in fact we hold our initial confidence ⁶  firm until the end. 3:15 As it says, ⁷  “Oh, that today you would listen as he speaks! ⁸  Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.” ⁹  3:16 For which ones heard and rebelled? Was it not all who came out of Egypt under Moses’ leadership? ¹⁰  3:17 And against whom was God ¹¹  provoked for forty years? Was it not those who sinned, whose dead bodies fell in the wilderness? ¹²  3:18 And to whom did he swear they would never enter into his rest, except those who were disobedient? 3:19 So ¹³  we see that they could not enter because of unbelief.

Ibrani 4:14-16

Jesus Our Compassionate High Priest

4:14 Therefore since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession. 4:15 For we do not have a high priest incapable of sympathizing with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way just as we are, yet without sin. 4:16 Therefore let us confidently approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and find grace whenever we need help. ¹⁴ 

Ibrani 6:9-12

6:9 But in your case, dear friends, even though we speak like this, we are convinced of better things relating to salvation. 6:10 For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love you have demonstrated for his name, in having served and continuing to serve the saints. 6:11 But we passionately want each of you to demonstrate the same eagerness for the fulfillment of your hope until the end, 6:12 so that you may not be sluggish, ¹⁵  but imitators of those who through faith and perseverance inherit the promises.

Ibrani 6:18-20

6:18 so that we who have found refuge in him ¹⁶  may find strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us through two unchangeable things, since it is impossible for God to lie. 6:19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, sure and steadfast, which reaches inside behind the curtain, ¹⁷  6:20 where Jesus our forerunner entered on our behalf, since he became a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek. ¹⁸
