For Christ is not entred into the holy places yt are made with handes (which are but symilitudes of true thinges) but in to the very heauen, for to apeare now before the face of God for vs:

for the must he often haue suffred sence the worlde beganne. But now in the ende of the worlde hath he appeared once, to put synne to flight, by the offerynge vp of himselfe.

so Christ was once offred, to take awaye the synnes of many. And vnto them that loke for him, shal he appeare agayne without synne vnto saluacion.

For the lawe which hath but the shadowe off good thinges to come, and not the thinges in their awne fashion, can neuer by the sacrifices which they offer yeare by yeare continually, make the commers there vnto perfecte:

For it is vnpossible yt the bloude of oxen and of goates shulde take awaye synnes.

In the which wyll we are sanctified by the offerynge vp of the body of Iesus Christ once for all.

But this man whan he had offred for synnes, one sacrifice which is of value for euer, sat him downe on the righte hande of God,

For with one offerynge hath he made perfecte for euer, the that are sanctified.

And where remyssion of these thinges is, there is nomore offerynge for synne.

by the bloude of Iesu (which he hath prepared vnto vs for a new and lyuynge waye, thorow the vayle, that is to saye, by his flesh)

and let vs kepe the profession of oure hope without wauerynge (for he is faithfull that hath promysed)

For yf we synne wylfully after that we haue receaued the knowlege of the trueth, there remayneth vnto vs nomore sacrifice for synnes,

but a fearfull lokynge for iudgment, and violente fyre, which shal deuoure ye aduersaries.

For we knowe him that hath sayde: Vengeaunce is myne, I wil recompence, sayeth the LORDE. And agayne: The LORDE shal iudge his people.

partly whyle all me wodred & gased at you for the shame and tribulacion that was done vnto you: and partly whyle ye became copanyons of them which so passed their tyme.

For ye haue suffred with my bodes, and toke a worth ye spoylinge of youre goodes, and that with gladnes, knowynge in youre selues, how that ye haue in heauen a better & an enduringe substaunce.

For ye haue nede of pacience, that after ye haue done the wil of God, ye mighte receaue the promes.

For yet ouer a litle whyle, and then he that shal come, wyl come, and wyl not tary.

As for vs, we are not of those which withdrawe them selues to damnacion: but of them that beleue to the wynnynge of the soule.

Faith is a sure confidence of thinges which are hoped for, and a certaynte of thinges which are not sene.
