If

…how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? This salvation was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard Him,

But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are His house, if we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope of which we boast.

Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear His voice,

We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly to the end the assurance we had at first.

As it has been said: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion.”

God again designated a certain day as “Today,” when a long time later He spoke through David as was just stated: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.”

For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day.

And this we will do, if God permits.

Now if perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood (for on this basis the people received the law), why was there still need for another priest to appear—one in the order of Melchizedek and not in the order of Aaron?

And this point is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears,

Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are already priests who offer gifts according to the law.

For if that first covenant had been without fault, no place would have been sought for a second.

For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that their bodies are clean,

If it could, would not the offerings have ceased? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt the guilt of their sins.

If we deliberately go on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins remains,

But My righteous one will live by faith; and if he shrinks back, I will take no pleasure in him.”

If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return.

If you do not experience discipline like everyone else, then you are illegitimate children and not true sons.

For they could not bear what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned.”

See to it that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if the people did not escape when they refused Him who warned them on earth, how much less will we escape if we reject Him who warns us from heaven?

Remember those in prison as if you were bound with them, and those who are mistreated as if you were suffering with them.

Remember those in prison as if you were bound with them, and those who are mistreated as if you were suffering with them.

Be aware that our brother Timothy has been released. If he arrives soon, I will come with him to see you.

Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.

If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not bridle his tongue, he deceives his heart and his religion is worthless.

If you lavish attention on the man in fine clothes and say, “Here is a seat of honor,” but say to the poor man, “You must stand” or “Sit at my feet,”

If you really fulfill the royal law stated in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.

But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery, but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.

What good is it, my brothers, if someone claims to have faith, but has no deeds? Can such faith save him?

If one of you tells him, “Go in peace; stay warm and well fed,” but does not provide for his physical needs, what good is that?

So too, faith by itself, if it does not result in action, is dead.

We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to control his whole body.

But if you harbor bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast in it or deny the truth.

Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. And if you judge the law, you are not a practitioner of the law, but a judge of it.

Instead, you ought to say, “If the Lord is willing, we will live and do this or that.”

And the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick. The Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.

My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back,

For if anyone endures the pain of unjust suffering because he is conscious of God, this is to be commended.

How is it to your credit if you are beaten for doing wrong and you endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God.

Wives, in the same way, submit yourselves to your husbands, so that even if they refuse to believe the word, they will be won over without words by the behavior of their wives

…just as Sarah obeyed Abraham and called him lord. And you are her children if you do what is right and refuse to give way to fear.

Who can harm you if you are zealous for what is good?

But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. “Do not fear what they fear; do not be shaken.”

For it is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.

If anyone speaks, he should speak as one conveying the words of God. If anyone serves, he should serve with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.

If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.

But if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but glorify God that you bear that name.

For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who disobey the gospel of God?

And, “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”

For if you possess these qualities and continue to grow in them, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, brothers, strive to make your calling and election sure. For if you practice these things you will never stumble,

For if God did not spare the angels when they sinned, but cast them deep into hell, placing them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment;

…if He did not spare the ancient world when He brought the flood on its ungodly people, but preserved Noah, a preacher of righteousness, among the eight;

…if He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction, reducing them to ashes as an example of what is coming on the ungodly;

…and if He rescued Lot, a righteous man distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless

…if all this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.

If indeed they have escaped the corruption of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, only to be entangled and overcome by it again, their final condition is worse than it was at first.

If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.

But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.

My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate before the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.

By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments.

If anyone says, “I know Him,” but does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

But if anyone keeps His word, the love of God has been truly perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him:

If anyone claims to be in the light but hates his brother, he is still in the darkness.

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

They went out from us, but they did not belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But their departure made it clear that none of them belonged to us.

Who is the liar, if it is not the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son.

As for you, let what you have heard from the beginning remain in you. If it does, you will also remain in the Son and in the Father.

If you know that He is righteous, you also know that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of Him.

So do not be surprised, brothers, if the world hates you.

If anyone with earthly possessions sees his brother in need, but withholds his compassion from him, how can the love of God abide in him?

Even if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts, and He knows all things.

Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God,

Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God remains in us, and His love is perfected in us.

If anyone confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

If anyone says, “I love God,” but hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.

Even if we accept human testimony, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony that God has given about His Son.

And this is the confidence that we have before Him: If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we already possess what we have asked of Him.

If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he should ask God, who will give life to those who commit this kind of sin. There is a sin that leads to death; I am not saying he should ask regarding that sin.

If anyone comes to you but does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home or even greet him.

So if I come, I will call attention to his malicious slander against us. And unsatisfied with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers and forbids those who want to do so, even putting them out of the church.

Therefore, keep in mind how far you have fallen. Repent and perform the deeds you did at first. But if you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place.

Remember, then, what you have received and heard. Keep it and repent. If you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know the hour when I will come upon you.

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and dine with him, and he with Me.

If anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouths and devours their enemies. In this way, anyone who wants to harm them must be killed.

“If anyone is destined for captivity, into captivity he will go; if anyone is to die by the sword, by the sword he must be killed.” Here is a call for the perseverance and faith of the saints.

“If anyone is destined for captivity, into captivity he will go; if anyone is to die by the sword, by the sword he must be killed.” Here is a call for the perseverance and faith of the saints.

And a third angel followed them, calling out in a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on his forehead or on his hand,

And if anyone was found whose name was not written in the Book of Life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

I testify to everyone who hears the words of prophecy in this book: If anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book.

And if anyone takes away from the words of this book of prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and the holy city, which are described in this book.
