⁹ And ^(A)having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him,

⁷ again He designates a certain day, saying in David, “Today,” after such a long time, as it has been said:

Hear the Heavenly Voice

²⁵ See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For ^(A)if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven,

Jesus Promises Another Helper

^15 (A)“If you love Me, ^[a]keep My commandments.

²³ Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, ^(A)and We will come to him and make Our home with him.

²⁴ He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and ^(A)the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.

²⁸ But He said, ^(A)“More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”

Build on the Rock^(A)

^46 (B)“But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say? ^47 (C)Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like: ⁴⁸ He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was ^[a]founded on the rock. ⁴⁹ But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it ^[b]fell. And the ruin of that house was great.”

²³ But this is what I commanded them, saying, ^(A)‘Obey My voice, and ^(B)I will be your God, and you shall be My people. And walk in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well with you.’

^3 (A)Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and ^(B)repent. ^(C)Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you ^(D)as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you.
