For since He Himself was tested and has suffered, He is able to help those who are tested.

He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray, since he is also subject to weakness.

Because of this, he must make a sin offering for himself as well as for the people.

No one takes this honor on himself; instead, a person is called by God, just as Aaron was.

In the same way, the Messiah did not exalt Himself to become a high priest, but the One who said to Him, You are My Son; today I have become Your Father,

For when God made a promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater to swear by, He swore by Himself:

And in a sense Levi himself, who receives tenths, has paid tenths through Abraham,

He doesn’t need to offer sacrifices every day, as high priests do—first for their own sins, then for those of the people. He did this once for all when He offered Himself.

But the high priest alone enters the second room, and he does that only once a year, and never without blood, which he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance.

how much more will the blood of the Messiah, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works to serve the living God?

He did not do this to offer Himself many times, as the high priest enters the sanctuary yearly with the blood of another.

Otherwise, He would have had to suffer many times since the foundation of the world. But now He has appeared one time, at the end of the ages, for the removal of sin by the sacrifice of Himself.

For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, so that you won’t grow weary and lose heart.

Your life should be free from the love of money. Be satisfied with what you have, for He Himself has said, I will never leave you or forsake you.
