who being the splendour of his glory, and the very impress of his substance, and upholding all things with his powerful word, by himself having effected the cleansing of our sins, he sat down at the right hand of Majesty on high;

For to which of the angels ever said he, "My Son art thou, I have to-day begotten thee?" And again, "I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?"

and as a cloak thou wilt wrap them up, and they will undergo a change: but thou art the same, and thy years will never end."

For we are hearing the same gospel preached as they did; but the word heard did not profit them, not being incorporated by faith with those who heard it.

For the word of God is quickening, and energetic, and sharper than every two-edged sword, and piercing through and through, so as to divide both soul and spirit, both joints and spinal marrow, and critically judges the thoughts and intents of the heart.

So Christ also did not himself assume the glory to become high-priest, but he [gave it] who spake to him, "Thou art my Son; I have this day begotten thee."

As he saith also in another passage, "Thou art priest forever after the order of Melchisedec;"

For every one who useth milk is inexperienced in the word of righteousness: for he is an infant.

and have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

For the testimony is, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

(for they indeed were made priests without an oath; but he with an oath, by him who said unto him, "The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:")

For the law constitutes men high-priests, though they have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which is since the law, constitutes the Son, unto eternity completely perfect.

By faith we understand that the worlds were exactly formed by the word of God, so that the visible objects were not made out of things which now appear.

Now this word yet once more manifests the removal of the things shaken, as of things formed, that the things not shaken may endure.

Remember your presidents, who have spoken to you the word of God: the ultimate issue of whose conduct attentively observing, be imitators of their fidelity.

But I entreat you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation; for I have written to you in few words.
