ls,

12:23. And to the church of the firstborn who are written in the
heavens, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of the just
made perfect,

12:24. And to Jesus the mediator of the new testament, and to the
sprinkling of blood which speaketh better than that of Abel.

12:25. See that you refuse him not that speaketh. For if they escaped
not who refused him that spoke upon earth, much more shall not we that
turn away from him that speaketh to us from heaven.

12:26. Whose voice then moved the earth; but now he promiseth, saying:
Yet once more: and I will move, not only the earth, but heaven also.

12:27. And in that he saith: Yet once more, he signifieth the
translation of the moveable things as made, that those things may remain
which are immoveable.

12:28. Therefore, receiving an immoveable kingdom, we have grace:
whereby let us serve, pleasing God, with fear and reverence.

12:29. For our God is a consuming fire.

Hebrews Chapter 13

Divers admonitions and exhortations.

13:1. Let the charity of the brotherhood abide in you.

13:2. And hospitality do not forget: for by this some, being not aware
of it, have entertained angels.

13:3. Remember them that are in bands, as if you were bound with them:
and them that labour, as being yourselves also in the body.

13:4. Marriage honourable in all, and the bed undefiled. For fornicators
and adulterers God will judge.

Or, Let marriage be honourable in all... That is, in all things
belonging to the marriage state. This is a warning to married people,
not to abuse the sanctity of their state, by any liberties or
irregularities contrary thereunto. Now it does not follow from this text
that all persons are obliged to marry, even if the word omnibus were
rendered, in all persons, instead of in all things: for if it was a
precept, St. Paul himself would have transgressed it, as he never
married. Moreover, those who have already made a vow to God to lead a
single life, should they attempt to marry, they would incur their own
damnation. 1 Tim. 5. 12.

13:5. Let your manners be without covetousness, contented with such
things as you have. For he hath said: I will not leave thee: neither
will I forsake thee.

13:6. So that we may confidently say: The Lord is my helper: I will not
fear what man shall do to me.

13:7. Remember your prelates who have spoken the word of God to you:
whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation,

13:8. J
