Hebrews 10:6

Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

But I counted it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, and your apostle and servant of my need,

For Yahweh takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another.

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it;

By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.

I will tell of the decree: Yahweh said to me, “You are my son. Today I have become your father.

“What are the multitude of your sacrifices to me?”, says Yahweh. “I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed animals. I don’t delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of male goats.

You also, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

When a man vows a vow to Yahweh, or swears an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word. He shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.

Make vows to Yahweh your God, and fulfill them! Let all of his neighbors bring presents to him who is to be feared.

This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.

“Behold, my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights: I have put my Spirit on him. He will bring justice to the nations.

But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed.

Father, glorify your name!” Then a voice came out of the sky, saying, “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.”

who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.

No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

Yet if because of food your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love. Don’t destroy with your food him for whom Christ died.

Now thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and reveals through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge in every place.

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,

I know how to be humbled, and I also know how to abound. In everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in need.

If you do well, won’t it be lifted up? If you don’t do well, sin crouches at the door. Its desire is for you, but you are to rule over it.”

Please take the gift that I brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough.” He urged him, and he took it.

but he shall wash its innards and its legs with water. The priest shall burn all of it on the altar, for a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.

I will be his father, and he will be my son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men;

Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving. Pay your vows to the Most High.

I will come into your temple with burnt offerings. I will pay my vows to you,

Blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh, who walks in his ways.

Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked?” says the Lord Yahweh; “and not rather that he should return from his way, and live?

“Behold, my servant whom I have chosen; my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my Spirit on him. He will proclaim justice to the nations.

even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

A cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”

For the Father has affection for the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.

The Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.

I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”

For he received from God the Father honor and glory when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.

This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he commanded.

Yahweh smelled the pleasant aroma. Yahweh said in his heart, “I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake because the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth. I will never again strike every living thing, as I have done.

Let those who favor my righteous cause shout for joy and be glad. Yes, let them say continually, “May Yahweh be magnified, who has pleasure in the prosperity of his servant!”

Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman who fears Yahweh, she shall be praised.

For what the law couldn’t do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh;

This is my covenant with them, when I will take away their sins.”

For we are a sweet aroma of Christ to God, in those who are saved and in those who perish:

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich.

For this service of giving that you perform not only makes up for lack among the saints, but abounds also through much giving of thanks to God,

to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he freely gave us favor in the Beloved,

who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love,

But concerning brotherly love, you have no need that one write to you. For you yourselves are taught by God to love one another,

This is a symbol of the present age, where gifts and sacrifices are offered that are incapable, concerning the conscience, of making the worshiper perfect,

how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without defect to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily, not for dishonest gain, but willingly;

Yahweh will be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will know Yahweh in that day. Yes, they will worship with sacrifice and offering, and will vow a vow to Yahweh, and will perform it.

“Oh that there were one among you who would shut the doors, that you might not kindle fire on my altar in vain! I have no pleasure in you,” says Yahweh of Armies, “neither will I accept an offering at your hand.

Behold, a voice out of the heavens said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”

Walk in love, even as Christ also loved us and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.

But I have all things and abound. I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things that came from you, a sweet-smelling fragrance, an acceptable and well-pleasing sacrifice to God.

For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.
