Even though we speak like this, dear friends, we are convinced of better things in your case— the things that have to do with salvation.

Dear friends, we have to say these things. But we are sure of better things in your case. We are talking about the things that have to do with being saved.

For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit,and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come,and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt.

And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him,

And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel.

But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people,training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age,waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.

For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death.

Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

“ Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.“ Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.“ Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.“ Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.“ Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.“ Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.“ Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.“ Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.“ Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy:“ I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite.

testifying both to Jews and to Greeks of repentance toward God and of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard,

Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

For you had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one.

remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you,

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

When they heard these things they fell silent. And they glorified God, saying,“ Then to the Gentiles also God has granted repentance that leads to life.”

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love.

For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name in serving the saints, as you still do.
