« Previous Home Next » Hebrews Chapter 3 Greater than Moses 19 verses Key verse — Hebrews 3:14 “For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end.” The Apostle and High Priest 1 Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus, 2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. 3 For this one has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who built the house has more honor than the house. 4 For every house is built by someone, but he who built all things is God. 5 And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of the things that would be spoken afterward, 6 but Christ as a Son over his own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. Today, if you hear his voice 7 Ther...

« Previous Home Next » Hebrews Chapter 2 So great a salvation 18 verses Key verse — Hebrews 2:9 “But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor, that he by the grace of God should taste death for everyone.” Give heed 1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away. 2 For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just repayment, 3 how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard him, 4 God also bearing witness with them, both with signs and wonders and with various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will? Made lower, crowned 5 For he has not put in subjection to angels the world to come, of which we speak. 6 But one in a certain place testified, ...

Hebrews chapter 8

Previous · Home · Next A better ministry, a better covenant 1 Now this is the sum of the things we have spoken: we have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, 2 a minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. 3 For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; therefore it is necessary that this one also have something to offer. 4 For if he were on earth, he would not be a priest, since there are priests who offer gifts according to the law, 5 who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, as Moses was warned by God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, “See,” he says, “that you make all things according to the pattern shown to you on the mountain.” 6 But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as he is also mediator of a better covenant, which has been established on better promises. 7 For if that first covenant ...

Logos and rhema word study

-
Home Word Study — λόγος ( logos ) and ῥῆμα ( rhēma ), and how they relate λόγος ( logos ) — “word, reason, account, discourse.” Root sense: the underlying content or substance of what is communicated — a word as meaning, as reasoned structure, as the whole of what is said or meant. John opens his Gospel with this term at full weight: “In the beginning was the Word… and the Word was God” (John 1:1). Here λόγος names the eternal, personal reality of Christ himself, before any particular utterance, before creation (1:3). Elsewhere in the NT it is used more ordinarily for teaching or message as a whole — “the word of God” as the body of gospel content (Acts 6:7, “the word of God increased”); “the word of the cross”; “the word of reconciliation” (2 Corinthians 5:19). Broad. Substantial. The full weight of what is taught or true. ῥῆμα ( rhēma ) — “an utterance, a saying, a specific spoken word.” Root sense: a particular thing actually said, spoken, or delivered in a moment — narrower...

The key of John

-
Home Reading Key — The Organic / Abiding Frame (John) John’s writing — the Gospel and his three letters — runs on a different architecture from Paul’s courtroom. Paul asks what your legal standing is, and on what basis. John asks whether you are alive, connected, and remaining in the source of life. The governing images are biological and relational: birth, light, food, water, vine — not verdicts and classes. Core organic images Born / begotten (γεννάω). John 1:12–13: those who receive him are born of God, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of a man. 1 John uses “born of God” again and again (2:29; 3:9; 4:7; 5:1, 4, 18). What Paul would name as adoption, John names as birth. Birth is not a verdict read over you. It is a new source of life. Life (ζωή) and light (φῶς). John 1:4 pairs them from the first lines: “In him was life, and the life was the light of men.” Both run the book: “I am the light of the world” (8:12); “I am the resurrection and the l...

Text size: A− Reset A+ Previous · Home · Next Greeting 1 Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those who are sanctified by God the Father, and kept in Jesus Christ, and called: 2 Mercy to you, and peace, and love, be multiplied. Contend for the faith 3 Beloved, when I was giving all diligence to write to you about the common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you and exhort you to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints. 4 For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who were long ago marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into sensuality, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. 5 But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. 6 And the angels who did not keep their first estate, but left their own dwelling, he has kept in ev...
