For in that which he himself suffered [when he] was tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

For the one who has entered into his rest has also himself rested from his works, just as God [did] from his own [works].

being able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and led astray, since he himself also is surrounded by weakness,

and because of it he is obligated to offer [sacrifices] for sins {for himself also, as well as for the people}.

And someone does not take for himself the honor, but is called by God, just as Aaron also [was].

Thus also Christ did not glorify himself to become high priest, but the one who said to him, "You are my Son, today I have begotten you,"

For [when] God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater to swear by, he swore by himself,

who does not {need every day} like the former high priests to offer up sacrifices for his own sins [and] then for the [sins] of the people, because he did this once for all [when he] offered up himself.

but only the high priest [enters] into the second [tent] once a year, not without blood, which he offers on behalf of himself and the [sins] of the people committed in ignorance.

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

and not in order that he can offer himself many times, as the high priest enters into the sanctuary {year by year} with blood not his own,

since it would have been necessary for him to suffer many times from the foundation of the world, but now he has appeared once at the end of the ages for the removal of sin by the sacrifice of himself.

For consider the one who endured such hostility by sinners against himself, so that you will not grow weary in your souls [and] give up.

Your lifestyle [must be] free from the love of money, being content with what you have. For he himself has said, "I will never desert you, and I will never abandon you."
