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?"

You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity, therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness above Your fellows."

And, "You, Lord, have laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the works of Your hands.

Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

You have made him a little lower than the angels. You crowned him with glory and honor and set him over the works of Your hands.

Since then the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise partook of the same; that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death (that is, the Devil),

Therefore I was grieved with that generation and said, They always err in their heart, and they have not known My ways.

For also we have had the gospel preached, as well as them. But the Word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.

For we who have believed do enter into the rest, as He said, "I have sworn in My wrath that they should not enter into My rest;" although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day.

Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight, but all things are naked and opened to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.

Since then we have a great High Priest who has passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

For we do not have a high priest who cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities, but was in all points tempted just as we are, yet without sin.

who can have compassion on the ignorant and on those who are out of the way. For he himself also is compassed with weakness.

So also Christ did not glorify Himself to be made a high priest, but He who said to Him, "You are My Son, today I have begotten You."

of whom we have much to say, and hard to be explained since you are dull of hearing.

For indeed because of the time, you ought to be teachers, you have need that one teach you again what are the first principles of the oracles of God. And you have become in need of milk, and not of solid food.

But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, even those who because of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

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

and have tasted the good Word of God and the powers of the world to come,

and who have fallen away; it is impossible, I say, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify the Son of God afresh to themselves and put Him to an open shame.

For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

so that by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us,

which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters into that within the veil,

And truly they who are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priest, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the Law, that is, from their brothers, though they come out of the loins of Abraham.

For the Law appoints men high priests who have infirmity, but the word of the swearing of an oath, after the Law, has consecrated the Son forever, having been perfected.

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 if that first covenant had been without fault, then no place would have been sought for the second.

(for then He must have suffered often since the foundation of the world), but now once in the end of the world He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.

For then would they not have ceased to be offered? Because the worshipers, when they had been once for all purged, would have had no more conscience of sin.

Therefore when He comes into the world, He says, "Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but You have prepared a body for Me.

In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You have had no pleasure.

Above, when He said, "Sacrifice and offering, and burnt offerings and offering for sin You did not desire, neither did You have pleasure in them" (which are offered according to the Law),

For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins,

For you both sympathized with my bonds and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that you have in Heaven a better and an enduring substance.

For you have need of patience, so that after you have done the will of God you might receive the promise.

Now, "the Just shall live by faith. But if he draws back, My soul shall have no pleasure in him."

By faith we understand that the ages were framed by a word of God, so that the things being seen not to have come into being out of the things that appear.

And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from which they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.

You have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.

And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons, "My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are rebuked by Him;

Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh who corrected us, and we gave them reverence. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?

For you have not come to the mountain that might be touched and that burned with fire, nor to blackness and darkness and tempest,

But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,

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.

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear,

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

Let your way of life be without the love of money, and be content with such things as you have, for He has said, "Not at all will I leave you, not at all will I forsake you, never!"

Remember those leading you, who have spoken to you the Word of God, whose faith follow, considering the end of their conduct:

Do not be carried about with different and strange doctrines, for it is good for the heart to be established with grace, not with foods, in which those who have walked in them were not helped.

We have an altar of which they have no right to eat, those who serve the tabernacle.

For here we have no continuing city, but we seek one to come.

Pray for us; for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.

And I beseech you, brothers, allow the word of exhortation. For I have written a letter to you in few words.
