23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world; but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared, to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.

14 For by one offering he hath perfe for ever them that are sanctified.

13 Let no man say, when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man;

14 But every man is tempted, when he is, drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

15 Then, when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin, and sin when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

21 Wherefore, lay apart all filthiness, and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the ingrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
