We ought therefore to attend the more to the things which we heard, lest at any time we should glide away [from them].

But we see Jesus, made a little less than angels, on account of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste death for every [man].

And to whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest? was it not to them that disobeyed?

Let us fear, therefore, lest at any time a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to come short.

For you who ought on account of the time to be teachers, have need that one should teach you again what are the first rudiments of the oracles of God, and have need of milk and not solid food.

If therefore there was perfection through the Levitical priesthood,??or the people received the law under it,??hat need was there that another priest should arise after the order of Melchisedec and not to be called after the order of Aaron?

For every chief priest is constituted to offer gifts and sacrifices, whence it was necessary that this man also should have something to offer.

It was necessary, therefore, that the symbols of things in the heavens should be purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

since it was necessary that it should suffer often from the foundation of the world, but now once at the consummation of the world he has been manifested to destroy sins by the sacrifice of himself.

for it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.

And why should I say more? For time would fail me to relate of Gideon and Barak, and Sampson and Jepthah, and David and Samuel and the prophets,

God having provided something better for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

Be not carried about with various and strange doctrines; for it is good that the mind should be established with grace, not with aliments, in which those walking are not profited.
