主曾如是云、爾曹當立道旁以觀、訪其舊途、何為善道則行之、如是可得平康、惟彼云、我儕不欲行、

This is what the Lord says:“ Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said,‘ We will not walk in it.’

Yahweh says,“ Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths,‘ Where is the good way?’ and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But they said,‘ We will not walk in it.’

For my people have forgotten me, they have burned incense to false gods; and they have been made to stumble in their ways, in the ancient paths, to walk in bypaths, in a way not cast up;

Remember the days of old, Consider the years of many generations: Ask thy father, and he will show thee; Thine elders, and they will tell thee.

and thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it; when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

but this thing I commanded them, saying, Hearken unto my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people; and walk ye in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.

Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, even statutes and ordinances.

As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of Jehovah, we will not hearken unto thee.

As therefore ye received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him,

I spake unto thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, I will not hear. This hath been thy manner from thy youth, that thou obeyedst not my voice.

But Abraham saith, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

But they say, It is in vain; for we will walk after our own devices, and we will do every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart.

For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of me.But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

To the law and to the testimony! if they speak not according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.

that ye be not sluggish, but imitators of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

For therein the elders had witness borne to them.By faith we understand that the worlds have been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen hath not been made out of things which appear.By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he had witness borne to him that he was righteous, God bearing witness in respect of his gifts: and through it he being dead yet speaketh.By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God translated him: for he hath had witness borne to him that before his translation he had been well- pleasing unto God:And without faith it is impossible to be well- pleasing unto him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seek after him.By faith Noah, being warned of God concerning things not seen as yet, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; through which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out unto a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.By faith he became a sojourner in the land of promise, as in a land not his own, dwelling in tents, with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:for he looked for the city which hath the foundations, whose builder and maker is God.By faith even Sarah herself received power to conceive seed when she was past age, since she counted him faithful who had promised:wherefore also there sprang of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of heaven in multitude, and as the sand, which is by the sea- shore, innumerable.These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.For they that say such things make it manifest that they are seeking after a country of their own.And if indeed they had been mindful of that country from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return.But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God; for he hath prepared for them a city.By faith Abraham, being tried, offered up Isaac: yea, he that had gladly received the promises was offering up his only begotten son;even he to whom it was said, In Isaac shall thy seed be called:accounting that God is able to raise up, even from the dead; from whence he did also in a figure receive him back.By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even concerning things to come.By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.By faith Joseph, when his end was nigh, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw he was a goodly child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter;choosing rather to share ill treatment with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;accounting the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he looked unto the recompense of reward.By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.By faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn should not touch them.By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were swallowed up.By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they had been compassed about for seven days.By faith Rahab the harlot perished not with them that were disobedient, having received the spies with peace.And what shall I more say? for the time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah; of David and Samuel and the prophets:who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, waxed mighty in war, turned to flight armies of aliens.Women received their dead by a resurrection: and others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:and others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tempted, they were slain with the sword: they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, ill- treated( of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts and mountains and caves, and the holes of the earth.And these all, having had witness borne to them through their faith, received not the promise,God having provided some better thing concerning us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect.Therefore let us also, seeing we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the scriptures daily, whether these things were so.

If ye know these things, blessed are ye if ye do them.

But what think ye? A man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to- day in the vineyard.And he answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented himself, and went.And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.Which of the two did the will of his father? They say, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, that the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not; but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye saw it, did not even repent yourselves afterward, that ye might believe him.

Ye search the scriptures, because ye think that in them ye have eternal life; and these are they which bear witness of me;

What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather, hath found according to the flesh?For if Abraham was justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not toward God.For what saith the scripture? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness.Now to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but as of debt.But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness.Even as David also pronounceth blessing upon the man, unto whom God reckoneth righteousness apart from works,

Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst. But thou saidst, It is in vain; no, for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go.

Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, Where thou feedest thy flock, Where thou makest it to rest at noon: For why should I be as one that is veiled Beside the flocks of thy companions?If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, Go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, And feed thy kids beside the shepherds’ tents.

and the father of circumcision to them who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham which he had in uncircumcision.
