20 Now may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of an eternal covenant, our Lord Jesus,
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
As for you also, Because of the blood of your covenant, I have set free your prisoners from the pit in which is no water.
Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them forevermore.
Then he remembered the days of old, Moses [and] his people, [saying], Where is he who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? where is he who put his holy Spirit in the midst of them?
Turn your ear, and come to me; hear, and your soul shall live: and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
and I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from following them, to do them good; and I will put my fear in their hearts, that they may not depart from me.
let's draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having our body washed with pure water,
for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the assemblies of the saints,
knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will present us with you.
Paul, an apostle (not from men, neither through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),
which he worked in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,
having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.
and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead-- Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.
Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with you all.
For where a last will and testament is, there must of necessity be the death of him who made it. For a will is in force where there has been death, for it is never in force while he who made it lives.
How much worse punishment, do you think, will he be judged worthy of, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?
who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God.
Most assuredly my house is not so with God; Yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant, Ordered in all things, and sure: For it is all my salvation, and all [my] desire, Although he doesn't make it grow.
Confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant,
> Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, You who lead Joseph like a flock, You who sit above the cherubim, shine forth.
He will feed his flock like a shepherd, he will gather the lambs in his arm, and carry them in his bosom, [and] will gently lead those who have their young.
I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
My servant David shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my ordinances, and observe my statutes, and do them.
He said to them, "This is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many.
Likewise, he took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, "Look, this is the blood of the covenant, which Yahweh has made with you concerning all these words."
and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, to which we are witnesses.
The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a tree.
God raised him up the third day, and gave him to be revealed, not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen before by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead."
