For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.

How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard {him};

For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more {shall not} we {escape}, if we turn away from him that {speaketh} from heaven:

Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,

He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

And it shall come to pass, {that} every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.

Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name {is} in him.

That we have built us an altar to turn from following the LORD, or if to offer thereon burnt offering or meat offering, or if to offer peace offerings thereon, let the LORD himself require {it};

While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

That they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done unto their gods; so should ye sin against the LORD your God.
