^{23 Ref} may we hold fast the unwavering profession of the hope, (for faithful `is' He who did promise),

^{24 Ref} and may we consider one another to provoke to love and to good works,

^{25 Ref} not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as a custom of certain `is', but exhorting, and so much the more as ye see the day coming nigh.

^{26 Ref} For we -- willfully sinning after the receiving the full knowledge of the truth -- no more for sins doth there remain a sacrifice,

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

^{24 Ref} And let us be moving one another at all times to love and good works;

^{25 Ref} Not giving up our meetings, as is the way of some, but keeping one another strong in faith; and all the more because you see the day coming near.

^{26 Ref} For if we do evil on purpose after we have had the knowledge of what is true, there is no more offering for sins,

^{23 Ref} let us hold fast the confession of our hope that it waver not; for he is faithful that promised:

^{24 Ref} and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and good works;

^{25 Ref} not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting `one another'; and so much the more, as ye see the day drawing nigh.

^{26 Ref} For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins,
