For to which of the angels did He say at any time, "You are My Son, this day I have begotten You?" And again, "I will be to Him a Father, and He shall be to Me a Son?"

And again, when He brings in the First-born into the world, He says, "And let all the angels of God worship Him."

how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by those who heard Him;

But one testified in a certain place, saying, "What is man, that You are mindful of him; or the son of man, that You visit him?

You have made him a little lower than the angels. You crowned him with glory and honor and set him over the works of Your hands.

You subjected all things under his feet." For in subjecting all things to Him, He did not leave anything not subjected to Him. But now we do not see all things having been subjected to him.

For it became Him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons into glory, to perfect the Captain of their salvation through sufferings.

And again, "I will put My trust in Him." And again, "Behold Me and the children whom God has given Me."

Since then the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise partook of the same; that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death (that is, the Devil),

Therefore in all things it behoved him to be made like His brothers, that He might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of His people.

who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was faithful in all his house.

Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight, but all things are naked and opened to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.

So also Christ did not glorify Himself to be made a high priest, but He who said to Him, "You are My Son, today I have begotten You."

For Jesus, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications with strong cryings and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard in that He feared,

And being perfected, He became the Author of eternal salvation to all those who obey Him,

and who have fallen away; it is impossible, I say, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify the Son of God afresh to themselves and put Him to an open shame.

For this Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest of the Most High God, met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him.

To him Abraham also gave a tenth of all. He was first by interpretation king of righteousness, and after that also king of Salem, which is king of peace,

But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.

For he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.

(for those priests were made without an oath, but this one was made with an oath by Him who said to Him, "The Lord swore and will not repent, You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek,")

Therefore He is able also to save to the uttermost those who come unto God by Him, since He ever lives to make intercession for them.

For it was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices that could not make him who did the service perfect as regards the conscience,

For where a covenant is, the death of him covenanting must be offered.

so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many. And to those who look for Him He shall appear the second time without sin to salvation.

For we know Him who has said, "Vengeance belongs to Me, I will repay, says the Lord." And again, "The Lord shall judge His people."

Now, "the Just shall live by faith. But if he draws back, My soul shall have no pleasure in him."

By faith Enoch was translated so as not to see death, and he was not found, because God had translated him; for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

By faith he lived in the land of promise as a stranger, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs of the same promise with him.

By faith also Sarah herself received strength to conceive seed and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged Him who had promised to be faithful.

concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from where he even received him, in a figure.

By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king, for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible.

looking to Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right of the throne of God.

For consider Him who endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself, lest you be weary and faint in your minds.

And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons, "My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are rebuked by Him;

See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape, those who refused him that spoke on earth, much more we shall not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from Heaven,

Therefore let us go forth to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach.

By Him, then, let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips, confessing His name.
