who being the effulgence of his glory and the expression of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, having made by himself the purification of sins, set himself down on the right hand of the greatness on high,

for, in that himself has suffered, being tempted, he is able to help those that are being tempted.

being able to exercise forbearance towards the ignorant and erring, since he himself also is clothed with infirmity;

and, on account of this infirmity, he ought, even as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

And no one takes the honour to himself but as called by God, even as Aaron also.

Thus the Christ also has not glorified himself to be made a high priest; but he who had said to him, Thou art my Son, I have to-day begotten thee.

For God, having promised to Abraham, since he had no greater to swear by, swore by himself,

who has not day by day need, as the high priests, first to offer up sacrifices for his own sins, then for those of the people; for this he did once for all in having offered up himself.

but into the second, the high priest only, once a year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the errors of the people:

how much rather shall the blood of the Christ, who by the eternal Spirit offered himself spotless to God, purify your conscience from dead works to worship the living God?

nor in order that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy places every year with blood not his own;

By faith Abraham, when tried, offered up Isaac, and he who had received to himself the promises offered up his only begotten son,

For consider well him who endured so great contradiction from sinners against himself, that ye be not weary, fainting in your minds.

Ye endure for chastening, God conducts himself towards you as towards sons; for who is the son that the father chastens not?
