After a long time, again naming a certain day, he says in David, Today (as he had said before), Today if you will let his voice come to your ears, be not hard of heart,

Because of this, let us have a strong desire to come into that rest, and let no one go after the example of those who went against God's orders.

As he says in another place, You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

Where Jesus has gone before us, as a high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

For this Melchizedek, the king of Salem, a priest of the Most High God, who gave Abraham his blessing, meeting him when he came back after putting the kings to death,

For it has been witnessed of him, You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

The law makes high priests of men who are feeble; but the word of the oath, which was made after the law, gives that position to a Son, in whom all good is for ever complete.

For this is the agreement which I will make with the people of Israel after those days: I will put my laws into their minds, writing them in their hearts: and I will be their God, and they will be my people:

And for this cause it is through him that a new agreement has come into being, so that after the errors under the first agreement had been taken away by his death, the word of God might have effect for those who were marked out for an eternal heritage.

For a testament has effect after death; for what power has it while the man who made it is living?

And because by God's law death comes to men once, and after that they are judged;

After saying, You had no desire for offerings, for burned offerings or offerings for sin (which are made by the law) and you had no pleasure in them,

And the Holy Spirit is a witness for us: for after he had said,

This is the agreement which I will make with them after those days, says the Lord; I will put my laws in their hearts, writing them in their minds; he said,

For if we do evil on purpose after we have had the knowledge of what is true, there is no more offering for sins,

But give thought to the days after you had seen the light, when you went through a great war of troubles;

By faith Moses was kept secretly by his father and mother for three months after his birth, because they saw that he was a fair child; and they had no fear of the king's orders.

By faith the walls of Jericho came down, after they had been circled for seven days.

At the time all punishment seems to be pain and not joy: but after, those who have been trained by it get from it the peace-giving fruit of righteousness.

For you have knowledge that even long after, when he was desiring the blessing for his heritage, he was turned away, though he made his request frequently and with weeping; because the past might not be changed.
