being made so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

They shall perish, but You will remain. And they shall all become old as a garment,

and as a covering You shall fold them up, and they shall be changed. But You are the same, and Your years shall not fail."

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

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

But Christ was faithful as a Son over his own house; whose house we are, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.

Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, "Today if you will hear His voice,

do not harden your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness,

while it is said, "Today if you will hear His voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation."

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.

He again marks out a certain day, saying in David, "Today," (after so long a time). Even as it is said, "Today, if you will hear His voice, harden not your hearts."

For he who has entered into his rest, he also has ceased from his own works, as God did from His.

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.

And because of this he should, as for the people, so also for himself, offer for sins.

And no man takes this honor to himself, but he who is called of God, as Aaron was.

As He says also in another place, "You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek."

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

And inasmuch as He was not made priest without an oath

who does not need, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice daily, first for his own sins and then for the people's sins. For He did this once for all, when He offered up Himself.

who serve the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was warned of God when he was about to make the tabernacle. For, He says "See that you make all things according to the pattern shown to you in the mountain."

For it was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices that could not make him who did the service perfect as regards the conscience,

Nor yet that He should offer Himself often, even as the high priest enters into the Holy of Holies every year with the blood of others

And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment,

not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

By faith Enoch was translated so as not to see death, and he was not found, because God had translated him; for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

By faith he lived in the land of promise as a stranger, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs of the same promise with him.

Because of this came into being from one, and that of one having died, even as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.

By faith he left 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 attempting to do were drowned.

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;

If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons, for what son is he whom the father does not chasten?

for they could not endure the thing commanded, "And if so much as a beast should touch the mountain, it shall be stoned or thrust through with a dart,"

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.

Remember those who are in bonds, as bound with them, those who suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.

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!"

Yield to those leading you, and be submissive, for they watch for your souls, as those who must give account, that they may do it with joy and not with grief; for that is unprofitable for you.
