God in Hebrews

The Berean Standard Bible is shown; switch to the King James or American Standard Version.

1. 1:1

   On many past occasions and in many different ways, God spoke to our fathers through the prophets.

2. 1:5

   For to which of the angels did God ever say: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father”? Or again: “I will be His Father, and He will be My Son”?

3. 1:6

   And again, when God brings His firstborn into the world, He says: “Let all God’s angels worship Him.”

4. 1:8

   But about the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever, and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom.

5. 1:9

   You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, Your God, has anointed You above Your companions with the oil of joy.”

6. 2:4

   and was affirmed by God through signs, wonders, various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to His will.

7. 2:9

   But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because He suffered death, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.

8. 2:13

   And again: “I will put My trust in Him.” And once again: “Here am I, and the children God has given Me.”

9. 2:17

   For this reason He had to be made like His brothers in every way, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, in order to make atonement for the sins of the people.

10. 3:4

    And every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.

11. 3:12

    See to it, brothers, that none of you has a wicked heart of unbelief that turns away from the living God.

12. 4:4

    For somewhere He has spoken about the seventh day in this manner: “And on the seventh day God rested from all His works.”

13. 4:9

    There remains, then, a Sabbath rest for the people of God.

14. 4:10

    For whoever enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His.

15. 4:12

    For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

16. 4:14

    Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we profess.

17. 5:1

    Every high priest is appointed from among men to represent them in matters relating to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.

18. 5:4

    No one takes this honor upon himself; he must be called by God, just as Aaron was.

19. 5:10

    and was designated by God as high priest in the order of Melchizedek.

20. 5:12

    Although by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to reteach you the basic principles of God’s word. You need milk, not solid food!

21. 6:1

    Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith in God,

22. 6:3

    And this we will do, if God permits.

23. 6:5

    who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age—

24. 6:6

    and then have fallen away—to be restored to repentance, because they themselves are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting Him to open shame.

25. 6:7

    For land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is tended receives the blessing of God.

26. 6:10

    For God is not unjust. He will not forget your work and the love you have shown for His name as you have ministered to the saints and continue to do so.

27. 6:13

    When God made His promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater to swear by, He swore by Himself,

28. 6:17

    So when God wanted to make the unchanging nature of His purpose very clear to the heirs of the promise, He guaranteed it with an oath.

29. 6:18

    Thus by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be strongly encouraged.

30. 7:1

    This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,

31. 7:3

    Without father or mother or genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God, he remains a priest for all time.

32. 7:19

    (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.

33. 7:25

    Therefore He is able to save completely those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to intercede for them.

34. 8:5

    The place where they serve is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”

35. 8:10

    For this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their minds and inscribe them on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people.

36. 9:6

    When everything had been prepared in this way, the priests entered regularly into the first room to perform their sacred duties.

37. 9:14

    how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God, purify our consciences from works of death, so that we may serve the living God!

38. 9:20

    saying, “This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you to keep.”

39. 9:24

    For Christ did not enter a man-made copy of the true sanctuary, but He entered heaven itself, now to appear on our behalf in the presence of God.

40. 10:7

    Then I said, ‘Here I am, it is written about Me in the scroll: I have come to do Your will, O God.’”

41. 10:9

    Then He adds, “Here I am, I have come to do Your will.” He takes away the first to establish the second.

42. 10:12

    But when this Priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, He sat down at the right hand of God.

43. 10:21

    and since we have a great priest over the house of God,

44. 10:29

    How much more severely do you think one deserves to be punished who has trampled on the Son of God, profaned the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and insulted the Spirit of grace?

45. 10:31

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

46. 10:36

    You need to persevere, so that after you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised.

47. 11:3

    By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.

48. 11:4

    By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was commended as righteous when God gave approval to his gifts. And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead.

49. 11:5

    By faith Enoch was taken up so that he did not see death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.” For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God.

50. 11:6

    And without faith it is impossible to please God. For anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.

51. 11:7

    By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in godly fear built an ark to save his family. By faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.

52. 11:10

    For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

53. 11:16

    Instead, they were longing for a better country, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.

54. 11:19

    Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and in a sense, he did receive Isaac back from death.

55. 11:25

    He chose to suffer oppression with God’s people rather than to experience the fleeting enjoyment of sin.

56. 11:40

    God had planned something better for us, so that together with us they would be made perfect.

57. 12:2

    Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

58. 12:7

    Endure suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?

59. 12:9

    Furthermore, we have all had earthly fathers who disciplined us, and we respected them. Should we not much more submit to the Father of our spirits and live?

60. 12:15

    See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God, and that no root of bitterness springs up to cause trouble and defile many.

61. 12:22

    Instead, you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to myriads of angels

62. 12:23

    in joyful assembly, to the congregation of the firstborn, enrolled in heaven. You have come to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect,

63. 12:28

    Therefore, since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us be filled with gratitude, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.

64. 12:29

    “For our God is a consuming fire.”

65. 13:4

    Marriage should be honored by all and the marriage bed kept undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.

66. 13:7

    Remember your leaders who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.

67. 13:15

    Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise, the fruit of lips that confess His name.

68. 13:16

    And do not neglect to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

69. 13:20

    Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep,
