for a covenant over dead victims [is] stedfast, since it is no force at all when the covenant-victim liveth,

for every command having been spoken, according to law, by Moses, to all the people, having taken the blood of the calves and goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, he both the book itself and all the people did sprinkle,

and both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the service with blood in like manner he did sprinkle,

and with blood almost all things are purified according to the law, and apart from blood-shedding forgiveness doth not come.

In faith died all these, not having received the promises, but from afar having seen them, and having been persuaded, and having saluted [them], and having confessed that strangers and sojourners they are upon the earth,

and these all, having been testified to through the faith, did not receive the promise,

and if ye are apart from chastening, of which all have become partakers, then bastards are ye, and not sons.

and all chastening for the present, indeed, doth not seem to be of joy, but of sorrow, yet afterward the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those exercised through it -- it doth yield.

peace pursue with all, and the separation, apart from which no one shall see the Lord,

to the company and assembly of the first-born in heaven enrolled, and to God the judge of all, and to spirits of righteous men made perfect,

honourable [is] the marriage in all, and the bed undefiled, and whoremongers and adulterers God shall judge.

Pray for us, for we trust that we have a good conscience, in all things willing to behave well,

Salute all those leading you, and all the saints; salute you doth those from Italy:

the grace [is] with you all! Amen.
