⁶ but Christ as ^(A)a Son over His own house, ^(B)whose house we are ^(C)if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope ^[a]firm to the end.

² has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the ^[a]worlds;

¹⁶ And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For ^(A)you^[a] are the temple of the living God. As God has said:

^16 (A)Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

¹¹ And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence ^(A)to the full assurance of hope until the end,

¹⁴ For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end,

¹⁵ but if I am delayed, I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ^[a]ground of the truth.

¹⁹ Or ^(A)do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, ^(B)and you are not your own?

^11 [a]Behold, ^(A)I am coming quickly! ^(B)Hold fast what you have, that no one may take ^(C)your crown.

⁵ you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
