²⁸ If then, we have a kingdom which will never be moved, let us have grace, so that we may give God such worship as is pleasing to him with fear and respect:

⁴⁴ And in the days of those kings, the God of heaven will put up a kingdom which will never come to destruction, and its power will never be given into the hands of another people, and all these kingdoms will be broken and overcome by it, but it will keep its place for ever.

¹⁵ Let us then make offerings of praise to God at all times through him, that is to say, the fruit of lips giving witness to his name.

⁷ Who in the days of his flesh, having sent up prayers and requests with strong crying and weeping to him who was able to give him salvation from death, had his prayer answered because of his fear of God.

⁷ I will make them come to my holy mountain, and will give them joy in my house of prayer; I will take pleasure in the burned offerings which they make on my altar: for my house will be named a house of prayer for all peoples.

²⁴ He who takes from his father or his mother what is theirs by right, and says, It is no sin; is the same as a taker of life.

³⁴ Then will the King say to those on his right, Come, you who have the blessing of my Father, into the kingdom made ready for you before the world was:

¹ For this reason I make request to you, brothers, by the mercies of God, that you will give your bodies as a living offering, holy, pleasing to God, which is the worship it is right for you to give him.

² And let not your behaviour be like that of this world, but be changed and made new in mind, so that by experience you may have knowledge of the good and pleasing and complete purpose of God.

⁶ But Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we keep our hearts fixed in the glad and certain hope till the end.

²² Let us go in with true hearts, in certain faith, having our hearts made free from the sense of sin and our bodies washed with clean water:

²³ Let us keep the witness of our hope strong and unshaking, for he is true who has given his word:

⁴ And a heritage fair, holy and for ever new, waiting in heaven for you,

⁵ Who, by the power of God are kept, through faith, for that salvation, which will be seen at the last day.

⁵ You, as living stones, are being made into a house of the spirit, a holy order of priests, making those offerings of the spirit which are pleasing to God through Jesus Christ.

¹⁰ And have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are ruling on the earth.

²⁰ What credit is it if, when you have done evil, you take your punishment quietly? but if you are given punishment for doing right, and take it quietly, this is pleasing to God.

¹⁶ Then let us come near to the seat of grace without fear, so that mercy may be given to us, and we may get grace for our help in time of need.

²⁰ Truly, because they had no faith they were broken off, and you have your place by reason of your faith. Do not be lifted up in pride, but have fear;

²⁷ And the kingdom and the authority and the power of the kingdoms under all the heaven will be given to the people of the saints of the Most High: his kingdom is an eternal kingdom, and all powers will be his servants and do his pleasure.

⁷ God is greatly to be feared among the saints, and to be honoured over all those who are about him.

¹⁴ Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be pleasing in your eyes, O Lord, my strength and my salvation.

¹¹ Give worship to the Lord with fear, kissing his feet and giving him honour,

³ Then Moses said to Aaron, This is what the Lord said, I will be holy in the eyes of all those who come near to me, and I will be honoured before all the people. And Aaron said nothing.

¹⁴ And to him was given authority and glory and a kingdom; and all peoples, nations, and languages were his servants: his authority is an eternal authority which will not come to an end, and his kingdom is one which will not come to destruction.

³³ He will have rule over the house of Jacob for ever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.

²⁰ And when the Pharisees put questions to him about when the kingdom of God would come, he gave them an answer and said, The kingdom of God will not come through observation:

²¹ And men will not say, See, it is here! or, There! for the kingdom of God is among you.

⁶ To the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely gave to us in the Loved One:

¹⁰ Testing by experience what is well-pleasing to the Lord;

¹⁸ I have all things and more than enough: I am made full, having had from Epaphroditus the things which came from you, a perfume of a sweet smell, an offering well pleasing to God.

¹⁹ So then, my brothers, being able to go into the holy place without fear, because of the blood of Jesus,

¹⁷ And if you give the name of Father to him who, judging every man by his acts, has no respect for a man's position, then go in fear while you are on this earth:

⁶ And has made us to be a kingdom and priests to his God and Father; to him let glory and power be given for ever and ever. So be it.

⁴ What man is there who will not have fear before you, O Lord, and give glory to your name? because you only are holy; for all the nations will come and give worship before you; for your righteousness has been made clear.

⁷ Of the increase of his rule and of peace there will be no end, on the seat of David, and in his kingdom; to make it strong, supporting it with wise decision and righteousness, now and for ever. By the fixed purpose of the Lord of armies this will be done.
