| Hebrews 3:11 | So I swore in my anger, ‘They shall certainly not enter my rest.’ |
| Hebrews 3:18 | And to whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest, except those who had refused to obey? |
| Hebrews 4:1 | Therefore while the promise of entering his rest is still open, let us fear lest any one of you may seem to be excluded from it. |
| Hebrews 4:3 | For we who have believed do enter that rest, just as God has said, “As I swore in my anger, ‘They shall certainly not enter my rest,’” and yet his work has been completed since the foundation of the world |
| Hebrews 4:5 | And furthermore in this context he said, “They shall certainly not enter my rest.” |
| Hebrews 4:6 | Therefore since it remains for some to enter it, and those who previously had the good news proclaimed to them failed to enter because of disobedience, |
| Hebrews 4:10 | For the one who enters God’s rest has also rested from his works, as God did from his. |
| Hebrews 4:11 | Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest; otherwise one of you might fall by the same sort of disobedience. |
| Hebrews 4:16 | Therefore let us approach with confidence the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace for (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) help when we need it. |

| Hebrews 6:10 | For God is not so unjust as to forget your work and the love you have demonstrated for (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) his cause, when you served and continue to serve fellow believers. |
| Hebrews 6:16 | For people swear by someone greater than themselves, and the oath confirms (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) what is said and puts to an end all dispute. |
| Hebrews 6:19 | We have this hope as an anchor for life, both sure and steadfast — a hope that enters the inner shrine behind the veil, |
| Hebrews 6:20 | where Jesus has entered on our behalf as forerunner, having become a high priest forever (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) according to the order of Melchizedek. |
| Hebrews 7:3 | He is without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life; but like the Son of God he continues a priest for (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) all time. |
| Hebrews 7:14 | For it is perfectly clear that our Lord is descended from Judah, and in regard to (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) that tribe Moses said nothing about priests. |
| Hebrews 7:17 | For it is attested of him, “You are a priest forever (eis | εἰς | prep-acc), according to the order of Melchizedek.” |
| Hebrews 7:21 | but he became a priest with an oath by the one who said to him, “The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, ‘You are a priest forever’”) (eis | εἰς | prep-acc), |
| Hebrews 7:24 | but on the other hand, Jesus, because he remains forever (eis | εἰς | prep-acc), has a priesthood that is permanent. |
| Hebrews 7:25 | Consequently, he is able to save completely (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) those who draw near to God through him, because he continually lives to (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) intercede for them. |
| Hebrews 7:28 | For the law appoints men as high priests who have weaknesses, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints the Son who has been made perfect forever (eis | εἰς | prep-acc). |
| Hebrews 8:3 | For every high priest is appointed to (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) offer both gifts and sacrifices; so it was necessary for this high priest also to have something to offer. |
| Hebrews 8:10 | For this is the covenant that I will establish with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws in (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) their minds and I will inscribe them on their hearts. I will be their God and they will be my people. |
| Hebrews 9:6 | When these things had been prepared in this way, the priests used to enter regularly into (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) the outer room to perform their ritual services; |
| Hebrews 9:7 | however into (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) the second room only the high priest entered, and that only once a year, and not without taking blood, which he offered for himself and for the sins committed unintentionally by the people. |
| Hebrews 9:9 | This is an illustration pointing to (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) the present time, during which the gifts and sacrifices being offered cannot perfect the worshiper so far as his conscience is concerned, |
| Hebrews 9:12 | he entered once for all into (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) the Most Holy Place, not by means of the blood of goats and calves, but by means of his own blood, thus obtaining an eternal redemption. |
| Hebrews 9:14 | how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) worship the living God! |
| Hebrews 9:15 | And for this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) redeems them from the transgressions committed under that first covenant. |
| Hebrews 9:24 | For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with hands, that was a mere copy of the true one, but into (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. |
| Hebrews 9:25 | Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood not his own, |
| Hebrews 9:26 | for then he would have had to suffer again and again since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the climax of the ages to (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) put away sin by his sacrifice. |
| Hebrews 9:28 | so also Christ, after having been offered once to (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) bear the sins of many, will appear a second time to those who are eagerly awaiting him, without reference to sin but for (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) salvation. |
| Hebrews 10:1 | For since the law is but a shadow of the good things to come and not the actual form of those realities, it can never perfect those who draw near by the same sacrifices which they offer continuously (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) year after year. |
| Hebrews 10:5 | Therefore when he came into (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) the world, he said, “Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me. |
