thou didst love righteousness, and didst hate lawlessness; because of this did He anoint thee -- God, thy God -- with oil of gladness above thy partners;'

Because of this it behoveth us more abundantly to take heed to the things heard, lest we may glide aside,

for of more glory than Moses hath this one been counted worthy, inasmuch as more honour than the house hath he who doth build it,

and in this place again, 'If they shall enter into My rest -- ;'

and because of this infirmity he ought, as for the people, so also for himself to offer for sins;

and this we will do, if God may permit,

For this Melchisedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who did meet Abraham turning back from the smiting of the kings, and did bless him,

And see how great this one is, to whom also a tenth Abraham the patriarch did give out of the best of the spoils,

who hath no necessity daily, as the chief priests, first for his own sins to offer up sacrifice, then for those of the people; for this he did once, having offered up himself;

for every chief priest to offer both gifts and sacrifices is appointed, whence it is necessary for this one to have also something that he may offer;

because this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, saith the Lord, giving My laws into their mind, and upon their hearts I will write them, and I will be to them for a God, and they shall be to Me for a people;

the Holy Spirit this evidencing that not yet hath been manifested the way of the holy places, the first tabernacle having yet a standing;

And Christ being come, chief priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands -- that is, not of this creation --

And because of this, of a new covenant he is mediator, that, death having come, for redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, those called may receive the promise of the age-during inheritance,

saying, 'This is the blood of the covenant that God enjoined unto you,'

and as it is laid up to men once to die, and after this -- judgment,

This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, giving My laws on their hearts, and upon their minds I will write them,'

for in this were the elders testified of;

looking diligently over lest any one be failing of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up may give trouble, and through this many may be defiled;

and this -- 'Yet once' -- doth make evident the removal of the things shaken, as of things having been made, that the things not shaken may remain;

of the hospitality be not forgetful, for through this unawares certain did entertain messengers;

Be obedient to those leading you, and be subject, for these do watch for your souls, as about to give account, that with joy they may do this, and not sighing, for this is unprofitable to you.

and more abundantly do I call upon you to do this, that more quickly I may be restored to you.
