who being the shining splendor of His glory, and the express image of His essence, and upholding all things by the word of His power, through Himself cleansing of our sins, He sat down on the right of the Majesty on high,

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),

For in that He Himself has suffered, having been tempted, He is able to rescue those who are being tempted.

who can have compassion on the ignorant and on those who are out of the way. For he himself also is compassed with weakness.

And because of this he should, as for the people, so also for himself, offer for sins.

And no man takes this honor to himself, but he who is called of God, as Aaron was.

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 when God made promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no greater, He swore by Himself,

who does not need, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice daily, first for his own sins and then for the people's sins. For He did this once for all, when He offered up Himself.

But once in the year into the second the high priest goes alone, not without blood, which he offered for himself and for the errors of the people)

how much more shall the blood of Christ (who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God) purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

Nor yet that He should offer Himself often, even as the high priest enters into the Holy of Holies every year with the blood of others

(for then He must have suffered often since the foundation of the world), but now once in the end of the world He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.

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