Chapters of the Bible

Christ serves as the High Priest of a superior covenant (the New Covenant), ministering in the true heavenly tabernacle. The New Covenant is based on better promises.

The author contrasts the blood of animals with Christ's own blood, which was shed once for all time in the heavenly tabernacle, securing eternal redemption.

Christ's single sacrifice has perfected forever those being made holy. The author warns: Do not deliberately keep on sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth.

The magnificent "Hall of Faith" defines faith as confidence in what we hope for. It provides numerous Old Testament examples of people who acted on belief in the unseen.

The author commands believers to fix their eyes on Jesus, the perfecter of faith. He urges them to run the race with perseverance and accept God's discipline as proof of His love.

Final instructions: show hospitality, honor marriage, and be content with what you have. Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

James urges believers to consider it pure joy when facing trials, as testing develops perseverance. True religion involves looking after orphans and widows and controlling the tongue.

James condemns favoritism toward the rich in the church. He proves that faith without works is dead, using Abraham and Rahab as examples.

James warns strenuously about the power of the tongue, comparing it to a tiny rudder and a massive wildfire. He contrasts earthly wisdom with heavenly wisdom (peaceful and pure).

James asks where quarrels come from. He commands believers to submit to God, resist the devil, and avoid slandering one another, as life is brief, like a mist.

James delivers a sharp warning to the rich who oppress the poor. He instructs believers to be patient and affirms that the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

Peter praises God for the living hope secured through Christ's resurrection. Believers must be holy in everything they do and prepare their minds for action.
