⁴ For ^(A)whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the ^[a]patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.

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.

Be Faithful^(D)

⁷ Therefore, as ^(E)the Holy Spirit says:

¹² Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God;

¹⁵ They have forsaken the right way and gone astray, following the way of ^(A)Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; ¹⁶ but he was rebuked for his iniquity: a dumb donkey speaking with a man’s voice restrained the madness of the prophet.

¹² not as ^(A)Cain who was of the wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil and his brother’s righteous.
