For to which of the angels did he say at any time, "You are my Son. Today have I become your father?" and again, "I will be to him a Father, and he will be to me a Son?"

Again, when he brings in the firstborn into the world he says, "Let all the angels of God worship him."

But one has somewhere testified, saying, "What is man, that you think of him? Or the son of man, that you care for him?

You made him a little lower than the angels. You crowned him with glory and honor.

You have put all things in subjection under his feet." For in that he subjected all things to him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we do not see all things subjected to him, yet.

But we see him who has been made a little lower than the angels, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for everyone.

For it became him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many children to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

Again, "I will put my trust in him." Again, "Behold, here I am with the children whom God has given me."

Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,

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

There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

So also Christ did not glorify himself to be made a high priest, but it was he who said to him, "You are my Son. Today I have become your father."

In the days of his flesh, he offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence.

Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of eternal salvation,

About him we have many words to say, and hard to interpret, seeing you have become dull of hearing.

and then fell away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance; seeing they crucify the Son of God for themselves again, and put him to open shame.

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

but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.

for he was yet in the body of his father when Melchizedek met him.

(for they indeed have been made priests without an oath), but he with an oath by him that says of him, "The Lord swore and will not change his mind, 'You are a priest forever.'"

Therefore he is also able to save completely those who draw near to God through him, seeing that he lives forever to make intercession for them.

For where a last will and testament is, there must of necessity be the death of him who made it.

so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who are eagerly waiting for him for salvation.

For we know him who said, "Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay." Again, "The Lord will judge his people."

But my righteous one will live by faith. If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him."

By faith, Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he had testimony given to him that he was righteous, God testifying with respect to his gifts; and through it he, being dead, still speaks.

By faith, Enoch was taken away, so that he would not see death, and he was not found, because God took him away. For he has had testimony given to him that before his translation he had been well pleasing to God.

Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.

By faith, he lived as a foreigner in the land of promise, as in a land not his own, dwelling in tents, with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise.

By faith he received power to procreate when he was past age, and Sarah herself was barren. He regarded him faithful who had promised.

Therefore as many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as innumerable as the sand which is by the sea shore, were fathered by one man, and him as good as dead.

concluding that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Figuratively speaking, he also did receive him back from the dead.

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, disregarding its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

For consider him who has endured such hostility from sinners against himself, so that you do not grow weary in your souls and lose heart.

and you have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, "My son, do not take lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor lose heart when you are reproved by him;

See that you do not refuse him who speaks. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned on the earth, how much more will we not escape who turn away from him who warns from heaven,

Let us therefore go out to him outside of the camp, bearing his reproach.

Through him, then, let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips that confess his name.
