But we do see Jesus—made lower than the angels for a short time so that by God’s grace He might taste death for everyone—crowned with glory and honor because of His suffering in death.

Therefore, holy brothers and companions in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession;

For Jesus is considered worthy of more glory than Moses, just as the builder has more honor than the house.

Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens—Jesus the Son of God—let us hold fast to the confession.

Jesus has entered there on our behalf as a forerunner, because He has become a high priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.

So Jesus has also become the guarantee of a better covenant.

But Jesus has now obtained a superior ministry, and to that degree He is the mediator of a better covenant, which has been legally enacted on better promises.

By this will of God, we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once and for all.

Therefore, brothers, since we have boldness to enter the sanctuary through the blood of Jesus,

keeping our eyes on Jesus, the source and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that lay before Him endured a cross and despised the shame and has sat down at the right hand of God’s throne.

to Jesus (mediator of a new covenant), and to the sprinkled blood, which says better things than the blood of Abel.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Therefore Jesus also suffered outside the gate, so that He might sanctify the people by His own blood.

Now may the God of peace, who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus—the great Shepherd of the sheep—with the blood of the everlasting covenant,

equip you with all that is good to do His will, working in us what is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ. Glory belongs to Him forever and ever. Amen.
