PAUL TO THE HEBREWS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSt. Paul wrote this Epistle to the Christians in Palestine, the most\u003cbr\u003epart of whom being Jews before their conversion, they were called\u003cbr\u003eHebrews. He exhorts them to be thoroughly converted and confirmed in the\u003cbr\u003efaith of Christ, clearly shewing them the preeminence of Christ's\u003cbr\u003epriesthood above the Levitical, and also the excellence of the new law\u003cbr\u003eabove the old. He commends faith by the example of the ancient fathers:\u003cbr\u003eand exhorts them to patience and perseverance and to remain in fraternal\u003cbr\u003echarity.  It appears from chap. 13 that this Epistle was written in\u003cbr\u003eItaly, and probably at Rome, about twenty-nine years after our Lord's\u003cbr\u003eAscension.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHebrews Chapter 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGod spoke of old by the prophets, but now by his Son, who is\u003cbr\u003eincomparably greater than the angels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:1. God, who, at sundry times and in divers manners, spoke in times\u003cbr\u003epast to the fathers by the prophets, last of all,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:2. In these days, hath spoken to us by his Son, whom he hath appointed\u003cbr\u003eheir of all things, by whom also he made the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:3. Who being the brightness of his glory and the figure of his\u003cbr\u003esubstance and upholding all things by the word of his power, making\u003cbr\u003epurgation of sins, sitteth on the right hand of the majesty on high:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe figure... that is, the express image, and most perfect resemblance.\u003cbr\u003eMaking purgation... That is, having purged away our sins by his passion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:4. Being made so much better than the angels as he hath inherited a\u003cbr\u003emore excellent name than they.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:5. For to which of the angels hath he said at any time: Thou art my\u003cbr\u003eSon, to-day have I begotten thee? And again: I will be to him a Father,\u003cbr\u003eand he shall be to me a Son?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:6. And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world,\u003cbr\u003ehe saith: And let all the angels of God adore him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:7. And to the angels indeed he saith: He that maketh his angels\u003cbr\u003espirits and his ministers a flame of fire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:8. But to the Son: Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre\u003cbr\u003eof justice is the sceptre of thy kingdom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:9. Thou hast loved justice and hated iniquity: therefore God, thy God,\u003cbr\u003ehath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:10. And: Thou in the beginning, O Lord, didst found the earth: and the\u003cbr\u003eworks of thy hands are the heavens.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:11. They shall perish: but thou shalt continue: and they shall all\u003cbr\u003egrow old as a garment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:12. And as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shalt be\u003cbr\u003echanged. But thou art the selfsame: and thy years shall not fail.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:13. But to which of the angels said he at any time: Sit on my right\u003cbr\u003ehand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:14. Are they not all ministering spirits, sent to minister for them\u003cbr\u003ewho shall receive the inheritance of salvation?\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Lost Leaf Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47109113118960,"sku":"2940149089482","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149089482_p0.jpg?v=1763711846","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149089482","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
