Heb 2:1, 3:1, 12-13, 4:1, 11, 6:11-12, 10:19-39, 13:1-3, 12-16 | ESV | STEP | Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard , lest we drift away from it.

1 Therefore, holy brothers, ^{▼▼Or brothers and sisters; also verse 12} you who share in ^ba heavenly calling, consider Jesus, ^cthe apostle and high priest of our confession,

Hebrews 3:12-13

12 Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from ^dthe living God. 13 But ^eexhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by ^fthe deceitfulness of sin.

Hebrews 4:1

1 Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem ^gto have failed to reach it.

Hebrews 4:11

11 Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so ^hthat no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience.

Hebrews 6:11-12

11 And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance ⁱof hope until the end, 12 so that you may not be sluggish, but ^jimitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

Hebrews 10:19-39

The Full Assurance of Faith

19 ^kTherefore, brothers, ^{▼▼Or brothers and sisters} since we have confidence to enter ^mthe holy places by the blood of Jesus, 20 by ⁿthe new and living way that he opened for us through ^othe curtain, that is, through his flesh, 21 and since we have ^pa great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts ^qsprinkled clean ^rfrom an evil conscience and our bodies ^swashed with pure water. 23 ^tLet us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for ^uhe who promised is faithful. 24 And ^vlet us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 ^wnot neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and ^xall the more as you see ^ythe Day drawing near.

26 For ^zif we go on sinning deliberately ^aaafter receiving the knowledge of the truth, ^abthere no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 ^acbut a fearful expectation of judgment, and ^ada fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. 28 ^aeAnyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy ^afon the evidence of two or three witnesses. 29 How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one ^agwho has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has profaned ^ahthe blood of the covenant ^aiby which he was sanctified, and has ^ajoutraged the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him who said, ^ak“Vengeance is mine; I will repay.” And again, ^al“The Lord will judge his people.” 31 ^amIt is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

32 But recall the former days when, after ^anyou were enlightened, you endured ^aoa hard struggle with sufferings, 33 sometimes being ^appublicly exposed to reproach and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated. 34 For ^aqyou had compassion on those in prison, and ^aryou joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had ^asa better possession and an abiding one. 35 Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has ^ata great reward. 36 For ^auyou have need of endurance, so that ^avwhen you have done the will of God you may ^awreceive what is promised. 37 For,

^ax“Yet a little while,
and ^aythe coming one will come and will not delay;
38 ^azbut my righteous one shall live by faith,
and if he shrinks back,
my soul has no pleasure in him.”
39 But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.

Hebrews 13:1-3

Sacrifices Pleasing to God

1 Let ^babrotherly love continue. 2 ^bbDo not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby ^bcsome have entertained angels unawares. 3 ^bdRemember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body.

Hebrews 13:12-16

12 So Jesus also ^besuffered ^bfoutside the gate in order to sanctify the people ^bgthrough his own blood. 13 Therefore let us go to him outside the camp and bear ^bhthe reproach he endured. 14 For ^bihere we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come. 15 ^bjThrough him then let us continually offer up ^bka sacrifice of praise to God, that is, ^blthe fruit of lips that acknowledge his name. 16 Do not neglect to do good and ^bmto share what you have, for such ^bnsacrifices are pleasing to God.
