How shall we escape, having neglected such great salvation; which at the beginning taken to be spoken by the Lord, by them having heard was made firm to us;

And behold how great this one, to whom also Abraham the patriarch gave the tenth of the first fruits.

And now he has attained a more distinguished office, in how much also he is mediator of a better covenant, which was legislated upon better promises.

How much more shall the blood of Christ, who by the eternal Spirit offered himself blameless to God, purify your consciousness from dead works to serve the living God?

Of how much worse punishment, think ye, shall he be deemed worthy. having trodden down the Son of God, and deemed the blood of the covenant common, in which he was consecrated, and having outraged the Spirit of grace?
