We'll go on now in natural order to verse 17. I'll translate it first. Obey your leaders [or those who lead you], and yield [or submit]; for they themselves spend sleepless nights [or stay awake or watch] on behalf of your souls, as those who will [...]

We're continuing now in Hebrews 13:7–8. We just glanced at these verses at the end of the last session. We'll continue there; I'll translate them once more. Verse 7: Remember those who lead you, who spoke to you the word of God; and as you watch the [...]

We'll move on to chapter 13 and in your outline it says of the first 25 verses in that chapter: This is the seventh passage of practical application. That indicates there have been six before, this is the last one. In regard to each passage I've [...]

We're beginning with new material, verse 25, which I'll read from the Greek and then we'll look at it. See to it that you do not refuse [or ignore or reject] the one who is speaking. For if those did not escape on earth who rejected the one who [...]

We'll read verse 15 and proceed from there. Hebrews 12:15. Watching [or taking care] lest there be anybody who comes short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up offend [or cause trouble] and through this many be defiled. [...]

At the end of the previous session we just started into chapter 12 of Hebrews and we had considered the first two verses. I will simply read those two verses from the New American Standard and comment very briefly to bring you up to date, then we'll [...]

Then the next principle which we haven't seen before, P.15, which is the last one in our list: our response to God's representatives is reckoned as our response to God. The spies were God's representatives. The way she treated them was reckoned by [...]

We're in Hebrews 11:28. This is still part of the record of the accomplishments of Moses by faith. We stopped last time because we ran out of time in the middle of the record of what Moses accomplished by faith. So now we come to verse 28: By faith [...]

Let's just look at our outline for a moment. We've looked at the example E.6, now we look at the result. This is our principle, we look at every example of faith in action and then we see what resulted from it. The result: blessing on Abraham; [...]

In our studies in Hebrews we have arrived somewhere in chapter 11. Just to give a word of explanation about the symbols in the outline you'll see we're using two abbreviations. E for an example of faith and P for a principle that's illustrated by [...]

The next passage we'll look at is chapter 11:8–10 which deals with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. I'll translate those three verses and then comment on them. By faith, being called, Abraham obeyed to go out to a place which he was due to receive for an [...]

In our previous session of these studies in Hebrews I had just got into the beginning of Hebrews 11. I had actually read the first six verses but only commented fully on the first two verses. Now we're going to go on at verse 3 which is a [...]

Can you believe it, we're going to begin chapter 11. This is a fantastic chapter. What I will do now is translate the first six verses and then we'll turn to our note outline. Now faith is a substance of things hoped for, a proof [or a conviction] [...]

We're turning to Hebrews 10:32 and we'll go to the end of the chapter. I think perhaps I will just translate that far and then we'll go back through our note outline. You'll find the note outline will be on your typewritten notes on Page 10/4. We [...]

Now we're going on to verses 26–31. This is the fourth passage of warning. I think we need to turn back to our introduction for a moment. Keep your finger there in 10/3, turn back to 0/2. All right. There are five passages containing solemn warning [...]

Last time I believe we ended at Hebrews 10:22. I would like just to go back in your outline over what we have there from Hebrews 10:19–22 and then we'll go on. Rather than translate from the Greek I'll read the New American Standard Version for [...]

We're going on to chapter 10. We have to turn to our outline to begin with, this is a very significant chapter. As you'll see if you've got the outline on Page 10/1, this chapter contains one passage of solemn warning, two passages of practical [...]

We have arrived at Page 9/4. We have just completed a study of verses 16 and 17. We'll begin with a quick reference to verses 16 and 17, then we'll go on with the rest of this chapter and we move then to chapter 10 tonight without fail. I'm reading [...]

Going now to my note outline on Page 9/3, at the bottom of the page I'm reading this. All through the Bible a covenant /testament requires a sacrifice, which requires shedding of blood, signifying a life laid down. Wherever there's a sacrifice there [...]

I believe we closed our last session at Hebrews 9:10 which, on your outline, is on Page 9/3. We'll continue now with verses 11–14 and we'll be consistently following the outline all the way through. First of all, I'll translate verses 11–14 from the [...]

Going on reading, and I'll make some comments from my note outline in a few minutes. Verse 25: "Then he shall offer up in smoke the fat of the sin offering on the altar". The fat of the sin offering was also offered. One of the very [...]

If you have your outline there you need to turn to Page 9/1. We are in the middle of going through that opening section. Hebrews 9, the first 5 verses, I'm reading from the New American Standard. Now even the first covenant had regulations of divine [...]

The second difference is the Old Covenant ended in rejection by God. The New ends in permanent acceptance. We'll illustrate both those facts from the prophet Hosea. If you want to turn there to Hosea 1 and we'll only look at verse 9 although you [...]

As I was sitting here before the meeting, before my part in the meeting began, I was very vividly reminded of something which I feel God wants me to share with you. I was reminded because I was thinking of the responsibility that rested upon me here [...]

Now we're going to begin our study of Hebrews 8. We'll be using the printed outline. But, before we go directly into chapter 8, I would like to review very rapidly with you the material on sheet 7/4 and 7/5 which is headed 'Points of Contrast [...]

We're going to begin now with a review of the material that we went through in detail in the previous series of sessions which covered chapters 1 through 7. My review will basically not have much to do with the material on those chapters but I think [...]

One of the things that is so important to me is that all three persons of the Godhead are in that act. The Son, through the Spirit, offered Himself to the Father. You may have heard me relate, the second time I heard the gospel preached, which was [...]

I think it would be profitable if I just read through the note outline that you have commencing at the bottom of 7/1. I don’t intend to pause but just to get our minds in gear, then we’ll go on. Chapter 7:11, I’ve commented on the need for another [...]

We're commencing this session at the beginning of Hebrews 4. This is in the middle of one of the warning passages that I pointed out to you, the longest of all of them. It began in Hebrews 3:7 and it continues through to chapter 4, verse 13. The [...]

If you look now in your outline, Page 3/2, you'll see that this is the first occurrence of the word rest. And between this verse and chapter 4, verse 13, this word occurs 12 times. Without any question, a major theme of this particular section is [...]

We have arrived at Page 3/1. We'll look very briefly at the outline before we go on. This first verse of chapter 3 focuses on Jesus in two aspects: apostle and high priest. As apostle He was sent forth to perform the task of redemption. Having [...]

All right. Going on to verses 22–28: "And you shall make on the breastpiece chains of twisted cordage work in pure gold. And you shall make on the breastpiece two rings of gold, and shall put the two rings on the two ends of the breastpiece. [...]

In our previous session we got to the end of Hebrews 2 and we could just quickly glance again at those closing words. That is, Hebrews 2:17–18 where we have the first mention in the text of high priest which is a key point in the unfolding [...]

Turning back now to Hebrews 2:11. Hebrews 2:11: "For both He who sanctifies and those who are sanctified [those who are being sanctified] are all from one". Interestingly enough, there’s no verb are there. I’ve just noticed that for the [...]

In our previous study we covered the material in Hebrews 1. It’s not possible to give a detailed recapitulation but let me just remind you briefly that this chapter opens with this sevenfold presentation of the Lord Jesus Christ in His eternal, [...]

We’re going to continue now in Hebrews 1:4. As your outline points out, this is the first of the seven comparisons which are contained. This time it’s a comparison between Jesus and angels. The writer sets out to show how Jesus is absolutely unique [...]

I’m going to very briefly review the material that we covered last time. First of all, there was a preliminary explanation of how we’re going to do this. The most important thing for you to get out of that is I will be reading from the Greek New [...]

A lot of Jewish people say there is no such thing as a Jew who’s a Christian. So, Jews who believe in Jesus, of whom, thank God, there are many, have taken other forms such as "Jewish believers" or "Hebrew Christians" just to [...]

For the first part of this first session I’m going to be giving you some preliminary explanation as to the way I will be teaching and how you can benefit best from it. Some of you may feel this is just a kind of option, that it’s not of much [...]
