'Things' in the Bible

But now, at the end of these days, it has come to us through his Son, to whom he has given all things for a heritage, and through whom he made the order of the generations;

Who, being the outshining of his glory, the true image of his substance, supporting all things by the word of his power, having given himself as an offering making clean from sins, took his seat at the right hand of God in heaven;

For this reason there is the more need for us to give attention to the things which have come to our ears, for fear that by chance we might be slipping away.

You put all things under his feet. For in making man the ruler over all things, God did not put anything outside his authority; though we do not see everything under him now.

Because it was right for him, for whom and through whom all things have being, in guiding his sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation complete through pain.

For every house has a builder; but the builder of all things is God.

And Moses certainly kept faith as a servant, in all his house, and as a witness of those things which were to be said later;

And there is nothing made which is not completely clear to him; there is nothing covered, but all things are open to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

Every high priest who is taken from among men is given his position to take care of the interests of men in those things which have to do with God, so that he may make offerings for sins.

For this reason let us go on from the first things about Christ to full growth; not building again that on which it is based, that is, the turning of the heart from dead works, and faith in God,

As for those who at one time saw the light, tasting the good things from heaven, and having their part in the Holy Spirit,

But, my loved ones, though we say this, we are certain that you have better things in you, things which go with salvation;

So that we, who have gone in flight from danger to the hope which has been put before us, may have a strong comfort in two unchanging things, in which it is not possible for God to be false;

Now if it was possible for things to be made complete through the priests of the house of Levi (for the law was given to the people in connection with them), what need was there for another priest who was of the order of Melchizedek and not of the order of Aaron?

For he of whom these things are said comes of another tribe, of which no man has ever made offerings at the altar.

Now of the things we are saying this is the chief point: We have such a high priest, who has taken his place at the right hand of God's high seat of glory in heaven,

As a servant of the holy things and of the true Tent, which was put up by God, not by man.

Now every high priest is given authority to take to God the things which are given and to make offerings; so that it is necessary for this man, like them, to have something for an offering.

Being servants of that which is a copy and an image of the things in heaven, as Moses, when he was about to make the Tent, had special orders from God: for, See, he said, that you make everything like the design which you saw in the mountain.

But now his position as priest is higher. because through him God has made a better agreement with man, based on the giving of better things.

Now while these things were in existence, the priests went into the first Tent at all times, for prayer and the making of offerings.

Because they are only rules of the flesh, of meats and drinks and washings, which have their place till the time comes when things will be put right.

But now Christ has come as the high priest of the good things of the future, through this greater and better Tent, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this world,

And by the law almost all things are made clean with blood, and without blood there is no forgiveness.

For this cause it was necessary to make the copies of the things in heaven clean with these offerings; but the things themselves are made clean with better offerings than these.

For the law, being only a poor copy of the future good things, and not the true image of those things, is never able to make the people who come to the altar every year with the same offerings completely clean.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the sign that the things not seen are true.

By faith it is clear to us that the order of events was fixed by the word of God, so that what is seen has not been made from things which only seem to be.

By faith Noah, being moved by the fear of God, made ready an ark for the salvation of his family, because God had given him news of things which were not seen at the time; and through it the world was judged by him, and he got for his heritage the righteousness which is by faith.

For those who say such things make it clear that they are searching for a country for themselves.

By faith Isaac, blessing Jacob and Esau, gave news of things to come.

And not one of these got the good things of the agreement, though they all had a good record through faith,

It is for your training that you undergo these things; God is acting to you as a father does to his sons; for what son does not have punishment from his father?

And to Jesus by whom the new agreement has been made between God and man, and to the sign of the blood which says better things than Abel's blood.

And the words, Still one more, make it clear that there will be a taking away of those things which are shaking, as of things which are made, so that there may be only those things of which no shaking is possible.

Be free from the love of money and pleased with the things which you have; for he himself has said, I will be with you at all times.

Make prayers for us, for we are certain that our hearts are free from the sense of sin, desiring the right way of life in all things.
