CHAPTER 9

 9:1  If then those who had walked in ancient

practices attained unto newness of hope, no longer

observing sabbaths but fashioning their lives after

the Lord's day, on which our life also arose through

Him and through His death which some men deny -- a

mystery whereby we attained unto belief, and for this

cause we endure patiently, that we may be found

disciples of Jesus Christ our only teacher --

 9:2  if this be so, how shall we be able to live

apart from Him? seeing that even the prophets, being

His disciples, were expecting Him as their teacher

through the Spirit. And for this cause He whom they

rightly awaited, when He came, raised them from the

dead.
