For we don't have a high priest who can't be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.

The high priest can deal gently with those who are ignorant and going astray, because he himself is also surrounded with weakness.

We can say that through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes,

and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat, of which things we can't speak now in detail.

For the law, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.

Every priest indeed stands day by day serving and often offering the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins,

Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can't be shaken, let us have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe,

So that with good courage we say, "The Lord is my helper. I will not fear. What can man do to me?"
