for, in that himself has suffered, being tempted, he is able to help those that are being tempted.

And with whom was he wroth forty years? Was it not with those who had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?

And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who had not hearkened to the word?

For indeed we have had glad tidings presented to us, even as they also; but the word of the report did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard.

Whence also he is able to save completely those who approach by him to God, always living to intercede for them.

thus the Christ also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, shall appear to those that look for him the second time without sin for salvation.
