For to which of the angels did He say at any time, "You are My Son, this day I have begotten You?" And again, "I will be to Him a Father, and He shall be to Me a Son?"

For He spoke in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: "And God rested the seventh day from all His works."

And in this place again, "They shall not enter into My rest."

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.

And this we will do, if God permits.

But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you and things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this way.

In this way desiring to declare more fully to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, God interposed by an oath,

For this Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest of the Most High God, met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him.

Now consider how great this man was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.

(for those priests were made without an oath, but this one was made with an oath by Him who said to Him, "The Lord swore and will not repent, You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek,")

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.

Now the sum of the things which we have spoken is this: We have such a High Priest, who has sat down on the right of the throne of the Majesty in Heaven,

For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this One have something to offer also.

"For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My Laws into their mind and write them in their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

Now when these things were ordained in this way, the priests always went into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.

the Holy Spirit signifying by this that the way into the Holiest of all was not yet made manifest while the first tabernacle was still standing.

But when Christ had become a high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building

And for this cause He is the Mediator of the new covenant, so that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, those who are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God has enjoined to you."

And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment,

By this will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right of God,

"This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord; I will put My Laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,"

By faith Enoch was translated so as not to see death, and he was not found, because God had translated him; for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

Because of this came into being from one, and that of one having died, even as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.

Because of this, straighten up the hands which hang down and the enfeebled knees.

And this word, "Yet once more," signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, so that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.

Do not be forgetful of hospitality, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.

But I beseech you the rather to do this, so that I may be more quickly restored to you.
