having become by so much better than the angels, as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they.

They shall perish; but thou continuest: And they all shall wax old as doth a garment;

And as a mantle shalt thou roll them up, As a garment, and they shall be changed: But thou art the same, And thy years shall not fail.

who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house.

For he hath been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by so much as he that built the house hath more honor than the house.

And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken;

but Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we hold fast our boldness and the glorying of our hope firm unto the end.

Wherefore, even as the Holy Spirit saith, To-day if ye shall hear his voice,

Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, Like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,

As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.

but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called To-day; lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin:

while it is said, To-day if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

For indeed we have had good tidings preached unto us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith with them that heard.

For we who have believed do enter into that rest; even as he hath said, As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

he again defineth a certain day, To-day, saying in David so long a time afterward (even as hath been said before), To-day if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts.

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

For we have not a high priest that cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but one that hath been in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

and by reason thereof is bound, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

And no man taketh the honor unto himself, but when he is called of God, even as was Aaron.

as he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever After the order of Melchizedek.

For when by reason of the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need again that some one teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of solid food.

For as touching those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,

which we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and stedfast and entering into that which is within the veil;

whither as a forerunner Jesus entered for us, having become a high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

For it is evident that our Lord hath sprung out of Judah; as to which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priests.

And inasmuch as it is not without the taking of an oath

who serve that which is a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses is warned of God when he is about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern that was showed thee in the mount.

But now hath he obtained a ministry the more excellent, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which hath been enacted upon better promises.

which is a figure for the time present; according to which are offered both gifts and sacrifices that cannot, as touching the conscience, make the worshipper perfect,

nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place year by year with blood not his own;

And inasmuch as it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this cometh judgment;

not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another ; and so much the more, as ye see the day drawing nigh.

By faith Noah, being warned of God concerning things not seen as yet, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; through which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

By faith he became a sojourner in the land of promise, as in a land not his own, dwelling in tents, with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:

wherefore also there sprang of one, and him as good as dead,'so many as the stars of heaven in multitude, and as the sand, which is by the sea-shore, innumerable.

By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were swallowed up.

and ye have forgotten the exhortation which reasoneth with you as with sons, My son, regard not lightly the chastening of the Lord, Nor faint when thou art reproved of him;

It is for chastening that ye endure; God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father chasteneth not?

For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.

lest there be any fornication, or profane person, as Esau, who for one mess of meat sold his own birthright.

And this word , Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain.

Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; them that are illtreated, as being yourselves also in the body.

Be ye free from the love of money; content with such things as ye have: for himself hath said, I will in no wise fail thee, neither will I in any wise forsake thee.

For the bodies of those beasts whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned without the camp.

Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit to them : for they watch in behalf of your souls, as they that shall give account; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief: for this were unprofitable for you.
