Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth for service for the sake of those who are going to inherit salvation?

how will we escape, having neglected so great a salvation? Which first, having taken to be spoken by the Lord, was verified for us by those who heard;

For both he who sanctifies and those being sanctified are all of one, because of which reason he is not ashamed to call them brothers,

For in that he himself has suffered, having been tempted, he is able to help those being tempted.

For some who heard rebelled, but not all those who came out of Egypt by Moses.

But with whom was he angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?

And to whom did he swear were not going to enter into his rest, if not to those who were disobedient?

For we also are having good-news preached, just as also those men, but the word of hearing did not benefit those men, not having been mixed together with faith in those who heard.

For those who believe enter into that rest, just as he said, So I swore in my wrath, They will not enter into my rest, although the works occurred from the foundation of the world.

But solid food is for mature men, those having their sensibilities trained through practice for the discernment of both good and evil.

For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and who tasted of the heavenly gift, and who became partakers of Holy Spirit,

And of course those who have become priests are more, because of being prevented to continue by death,

Whereupon he is able also to save to the uttermost those who come to God through him, being always alive in order to intercede on their behalf.

Who has no need to offer up sacrifices each day, as those high priests, first for his own sins, then for those of the people, for this he did, once, when he offered up himself.

Because this is the covenant that I will ordain with the house of Israel after those days, says Lord, giving my laws into their mind, and I will write them on their hearts. And I will be to them for a God, and they will be to me fo

For if the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling those who were defiled, sanctifies for the purification of the flesh,

And because of this he is mediator of a new covenant, so that a death having occurred for the redemption of the transgressions against the first covenant, those who are called might take the promise of the eternal inheritance.

so also the Christ, having been offered once in order to take up the sins of many, will appear a second time, independent of sin, to those waiting for him for salvation.

For the law having a shadow of the good things that are coming, not the same substance of the events, with the same sacrifices that are offered continually each year, they are never able to fully perfect those who are approaching.

Otherwise would they not have ceased being offered, because of those who worship, once having been cleansed, to have no further conscience of sins?

For by one offering he has fully perfected forever those being sanctified.

This is the covenant that I will ordain with them after those days, says Lord, giving my laws on their hearts, and on their minds I will write them,

For those men indeed for a few days chastened us according to that which seemed good to them, but he for that which is advantageous, in order to be partakers of his holiness.

But of course no chastening for the present seems to be of joy but of sorrow, yet afterward it yields peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

and a sound of a trumpet, and a voice of words, of which those who heard begged that a word not be added to them.

Watch, that ye not refuse him who speaks. For if those men did not escape, having refused him who spoke a divine message on earth, much more we, those who turn away from him from the heavens,

Remember the prisoners as being in bondage together, those who are ill-treated as also yourselves being in the body.

Remember those who lead you, men who spoke the word of God to you, of whom, carefully observing the outcome of their conduct, imitate the faith--

Be not carried away by various and foreign doctrines. For it is good that the heart be established with grace, not with foods by which those who walked were not benefited.

We have an altar from which they have no right to eat, those officiating at the tabernacle.

Have confidence in those who lead you, and yield yourselves, for they watch for your souls as men who will render account, so that they may do this with joy, and not groaning, for this is unprofitable for you.

Salute all those who lead you, and all the sanctified. The men from Italy salute you.
