but we see Jesus, for a short [time] made lower than the angels, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, so that apart from God he might taste death on behalf of everyone.

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

Therefore, [because we] have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession.

where Jesus, the forerunner for us, entered, [because he] became a high priest {forever} according to the order of Melchizedek.

by so much more Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.

by which will we are made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Therefore, brothers, [since we] have confidence for the entrance into the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus,

fixing our eyes on Jesus, the originator and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, disregarding the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and {to the sprinkled blood} that speaks better than Abel's [does].

Jesus Christ [is] the same yesterday and today and {forever}.

Therefore Jesus also suffered outside the gate, in order 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, by the blood of the eternal covenant,

equip you with every good [thing] to do his will, carrying out in us [what is] pleasing before him through Jesus Christ, to whom [be] the glory {forever}. Amen.
