Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and sustaining all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the majesty on high,

Since then the children partake of flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner took part of the same, that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil:

For in that he hath suffered, being tempted himself, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

For he that hath entered into his rest, hath himself also ceased from his works, as God did from his.

Who can have compassion on the ignorant and the wandering, seeing he himself also is compassed with infirmity,

And because hereof it behoveth him, as for the people, so also for himself to offer for sins.

And no one taketh this honour to himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.

So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest, but he that said to him, Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.

he swore by himself, Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.

Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for his own sins, then for those of the people: for this he did once for all, when he offered up himself.

But into the second, only the high-priest once a year, not without blood, which he offereth for himself and the errors of the people:

How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge our conscience from dead works, to serve the living God?

Nor did he enter, that he might offer himself often (as the high-priest entered into the holy place every year with the blood of others.)

For then he must often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once at the consummation of the ages hath he been manifested, to abolish sin by the sacrifice of himself.

For consider him that endured such contradiction from sinners against himself, lest ye be weary and faint in your minds.
