17 Reasons why Paul wrote
the
Epistle to the Hebrews
THE
EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE
TO
THE HEBREWS.
2.
Peter confirms Paul’s authorship in 2 Peter 3:15.
4. The Council of Laodicea in 363 AD, the
Council of Carthage in 397 AD, the Syrian churches in 370 AD held to Paul’s
authorship.
5. Eastern churches, all the churches and the Greeks
from the earliest centuries endorse Paul as author.
6. In the Alexandrian manuscript MSS 500AD, Paul is
named as author.
7. There is nothing contrary to what Paul would say
in Hebrews.
9. The thoughts and reasonings are Paul. If
there are any differences this is due to the fact that Paul is writing to the
Hebrews and not to the saints in the Gentile churches.
Philippians 2:23-24
17. There are similarities in
style and content between Hebrews and the other epistles of Paul. Compare
as follows:
Hebrews 12:3 For consider him that endured such
contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in
your minds. |
Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well
doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. |
Heb 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without
which no man shall see the Lord: |
Rom 12:18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live
peaceably with all men. |
Heb 13:1-3 Let brotherly love continue. 2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers:
for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. 3 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound
with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the
body. |
Eph 5:2-4 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us,
and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a
sweetsmelling savour. 3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or
covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; 4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor
jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. |
Heb 13:16 But to do good and to communicate forget not:
for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. |
Phil 4:18 But I have all, and abound: I am full, having
received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a
sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God. |
Heb 5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers,
ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the
oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong
meat. |
1 Cor 3:2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for
hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. |
Heb 8:1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is
the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the
throne of the Majesty in the heavens; |
Eph 1:20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him
from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, |
Heb 8:6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent
ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was
established upon better promises. Heb 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new
testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions
that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the
promise of eternal inheritance. Heb 12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant,
and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of
Abel. |
Gal 3:19-20 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added
because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was
made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. 20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one,
but God is one. 1 Tim 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between
God and men, the man Christ Jesus; |
Heb 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to
come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices
which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. |
Col 2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the
body is of Christ. |
Heb 10:33 Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by
reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them
that were so used. |
1 Cor 4:9 For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles
last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the
world, and to angels, and to men. |
Heb 13:9 Be not carried about with divers and strange
doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace;
not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. |
Eph 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed
to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of
men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; |
Heb 13:10 We have an altar, whereof they have no right to
eat which serve the tabernacle. |
1 Cor 9:13 Do ye not know that they which minister
about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at
the altar are partakers with the altar? 1 Cor 10:18 Behold Israel after the flesh: are
not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? |
Heb 13:20-21 Now the God of peace, that brought
again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through
the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 Make you perfect in every good work to do
his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through
Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. END. |
Rom 15:33 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen. Rom 16:20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under
your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. 2 Cor 13:11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be
perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of
love and peace shall be with you. Phil 4:9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and
received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with
you. 1 Thess 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify
you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved
blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. END. |
