Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love.

Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don’t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

All those whom the Father gives me will come to me. He who comes to me I will in no way throw out.

For my hand has made all these things, and so all these things came to be,” says Yahweh: “but I will look to this man, even to he who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.

For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

Whoever transgresses and doesn’t remain in the teaching of Christ, doesn’t have God. He who remains in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.

Cast your burden on Yahweh and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.

For they bind heavy burdens that are grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not lift a finger to help them.

Let no one deceive you with empty words. For because of these things, the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.

and might deliver all of them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

You received the law as it was ordained by angels, and didn’t keep it!”

For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.

The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” He who hears, let him say, “Come!” He who is thirsty, let him come. He who desires, let him take the water of life freely.

For my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.

Return to your rest, my soul, for Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you.

and to give relief to you who are afflicted with us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,

But false prophets also arose among the people, as false teachers will also be among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction.

The Lord Yahweh has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words him who is weary. He awakens morning by morning, he awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.

Yahweh says, “Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, ‘Where is the good way?’ and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’

Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can’t bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me.

But if anyone loves God, the same is known by him.

I have been in travels often, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from my countrymen, perils from the Gentiles, perils in the city, perils in the wilderness, perils in the sea, perils among false brothers;

This was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who stole in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage,

But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, why do you turn back again to the weak and miserable elemental principles, to which you desire to be in bondage all over again?

having predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,

Let’s fear therefore, lest perhaps anyone of you should seem to have come short of a promise of entering into his rest.

For there are certain men who crept in secretly, even those who were long ago written about for this condemnation: ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into indecency, and denying our only Master, God, and Lord, Jesus Christ.

and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forever and ever. Amen. I have the keys of Death and of Hades.

All things are full of weariness beyond uttering. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.

I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and behold, all is vanity and a chasing after wind.

to whom he said, “This is the resting place. Give rest to weary,” and “This is the refreshing;” yet they would not hear.

to provide for those who mourn in Zion, to give to them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of Yahweh, that he may be glorified.

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.

You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

Some men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised after the custom of Moses, you can’t be saved.”

Because we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, ‘You must be circumcised and keep the law,’ to whom we gave no commandment;

The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God;

But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as Christ’s apostles.

I don’t reject the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!”

Be careful that you don’t let anyone rob you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the elements of the world, and not after Christ.

wiping out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us. He has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross.

Let no one therefore judge you in eating, or in drinking, or with respect to a feast day or a new moon or a Sabbath day,

Let no one rob you of your prize by self-abasement and worshiping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

But you remain in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them.

For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.

Restore to me the joy of your salvation. Uphold me with a willing spirit.

But Ahaz said, “I won’t ask. I won’t tempt Yahweh.”

It will happen in that day that the nations will seek the root of Jesse, who stands as a banner of the peoples; and his resting place will be glorious.

He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a dimly burning wick. He will faithfully bring justice.

Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.

Now I beg you, brothers, look out for those who are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them.

If you died with Christ from the elements of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances,

For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just penalty,

Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved in various trials,

“Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.

Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.

Now therefore why do you tempt God, that you should put a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

For you didn’t receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”

Now if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people have received the law), what further need was there for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
