Today’s NT Greek Reading

Here is today’s reading and translation, from Hebrews 4:14-16:

 Ἔχοντες οὖν ἀρχιερέα μέγαν διεληλυθότα τοὺς οὐρανούς, Ἰησοῦν τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ θεοῦ, κρατῶμεν τῆς ὁμολογίας: οὐ γὰρ ἔχομεν ἀρχιερέα μὴ δυνάμενον συμπαθῆσαι ταῖς ἀσθενείαις ἡμῶν, πεπειρασμένον δὲ κατὰ πάντα καθ’ ὁμοιότητα χωρὶς ἁμαρτίας. προσερχώμεθα οὖν μετὰ παρρησίας τῷ θρόνῳ τῆς χάριτος, ἵνα λάβωμεν ἔλεος καὶ χάριν εὕρωμεν εἰς εὔκαιρον βοήθειαν.

Therefore, because we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession; for we do not have a high priest  who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tested in all things, in the same way (as we are), yet without any sin. Therefore, let us approach the throne with confidence, in order that we may receive mercy and find grace for timely help.
