¹⁹ which we have, as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and entering into that within the vail,

⁷ and into the second, once in the year, only the chief priest, not apart from blood, which he doth offer for himself and the errors of the people,

³ and after the second vail a tabernacle that is called `Holy of holies,'

²⁸ And we have known that to those loving God all things do work together for good, to those who are called according to purpose;

²⁹ because whom He did foreknow, He also did fore-appoint, conformed to the image of His Son, that he might be first-born among many brethren;

³⁰ and whom He did fore-appoint, these also He did call; and whom He did call, these also He declared righteous; and whom He declared righteous, these also He did glorify.

³¹ What, then, shall we say unto these things? if God `is' for us, who `is' against us?

³² He who indeed His own Son did not spare, but for us all did deliver him up, how shall He not also with him the all things grant to us?

³³ Who shall lay a charge against the choice ones of God? God `is' He that is declaring righteous,

³⁴ who `is' he that is condemning? Christ `is' He that died, yea, rather also, was raised up; who is also on the right hand of God -- who also doth intercede for us.

³⁵ Who shall separate us from the love of the Christ? tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

³⁶ (according as it hath been written -- `For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long, we were reckoned as sheep of slaughter,')

³⁷ but in all these we more than conquer, through him who loved us;

³⁸ for I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor messengers, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present,

³⁹ nor things about to be, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of god, that `is' in Christ Jesus our Lord.

¹⁵ `And he hath slaughtered the goat of the sin-offering which `is' the people's, and hath brought in its blood unto the inside of the vail, and hath done with its blood as he hath done with the blood of the bullock, and hath sprinkled it on the mercy-seat, and at the front of the mercy-seat,

² yea, Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Speak unto Aaron thy brother, and he cometh not in at all times unto the sanctuary within the vail, unto the front of the mercy-seat, which `is' upon the ark, and he dieth not, for in a cloud I am seen upon the mercy-seat.

¹¹ What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? And what! art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!

⁵ What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? And what! art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!

¹⁹ sure, nevertheless, hath the foundation of God stood, having this seal, `The Lord hath known those who are His,' and `Let him depart from unrighteousness -- every one who is naming the name of Christ.'

¹ If, then, ye were raised with the Christ, the things above seek ye, where the Christ is, on the right hand of God seated,

⁵ and the hope doth not make ashamed, because the love of God hath been poured forth in our hearts through the Holy Spirit that hath been given to us.

⁶ For in our being still ailing, Christ in due time did die for the impious;

⁷ for scarcely for a righteous man will any one die, for for the good man perhaps some one also doth dare to die;

⁸ and God doth commend His own love to us, that, in our being still sinners, Christ did die for us;

⁹ much more, then, having been declared righteous now in his blood, we shall be saved through him from the wrath;

¹⁰ for if, being enemies, we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved in his life.

¹⁶ Because of this `it is' of faith, that `it may be' according to grace, for the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that which `is' of the law only, but also to that which `is' of the faith of Abraham,

⁴⁰ and the anchors having taken up, they were committing `it' to the sea, at the same time -- having loosed the bands of the rudders, and having hoisted up the mainsail to the wind -- they were making for the shore,

²⁹ and fearing lest on rough places we may fall, out of the stern having cast four anchors, they were wishing day to come.

⁵¹ and lo, the vail of the sanctuary was rent in two from top unto bottom, and the earth did quake, and the rocks were rent,

¹⁶ Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: `Lo, I am laying a foundation in Zion, A stone -- a tried stone, a corner stone precious, a settled foundation, He who is believing doth not make haste.

³ Therefore honour Thee do a strong people, A city of the terrible nations feareth Thee.

⁴ For Thou hast been a stronghold for the poor, A stronghold for the needy in his distress, A refuge from storm, a shadow from heat, When the spirit of the terrible `is' as a storm -- a wall.

⁵ O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his help, His hope `is' on Jehovah his God,

⁶ Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that `is' in them, Who is keeping truth to the age,

⁵ Only -- for God, be silent, O my soul, For from Him `is' my hope.

⁶ Only -- He `is' my rock and my salvation, My tower, I am not moved.

⁵ What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? Yea, art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him: The salvation of my countenance -- My God!

⁷ Blessed `is' the man who trusteth in Jehovah, And whose confidence hath been Jehovah.

⁸ And hath been as a tree planted by waters, And by a rivulet he sendeth forth his roots, And he doth not see when heat cometh, And his leaf hath been green, And in a year of dearth he is not sorrowful, Nor doth he cease from making fruit.

⁵⁸ so that, my brethren beloved, become ye stedfast, unmovable, abounding in the work of the Lord at all times, knowing that your labour is not vain in the Lord.

⁶ and did raise `us' up together, and did seat `us' together in the heavenly `places' in Christ Jesus,

¹⁶ we may come near, then, with freedom, to the throne of the grace, that we may receive kindness, and find grace -- for seasonable help.

²⁰ which way he did initiate for us -- new and living, through the vail, that is, his flesh --

²¹ and a high priest over the house of God,

² Lo, God `is' my salvation, I trust, and fear not, For my strength and song `is' Jah Jehovah, And He is to me for salvation.
