in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed heir of all [things], through whom also he made the world,

Therefore, since the children share in blood and flesh, he also in like manner shared in these [same things], in order that through death he could destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil,

who was faithful to the one who appointed him, as Moses also [was] in his household.

{For we also have had the good news proclaimed to us}, just as those also [did], but the message {they heard} did not benefit them, [because they] were not united with those who heard [it] in faith.

For the one who has entered into his rest has also himself rested from his works, just as God [did] from his own [works].

being able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and led astray, since he himself also is surrounded by weakness,

and because of it he is obligated to offer [sacrifices] for sins {for himself also, as well as for the people}.

And someone does not take for himself the honor, but is called by God, just as Aaron also [was].

Thus also Christ did not glorify himself to become high priest, but the one who said to him, "You are my Son, today I have begotten you,"

just as also in another [place] he says, "You [are] a priest {forever} according to the order of Melchizedek,"

For ground that drinks the rain that comes often upon it, and brings forth vegetation usable to those [people] {for whose sake} [it is] also cultivated, shares a blessing from God.

to whom also Abraham apportioned a tenth of everything--in the first place, [his name] is translated "king of righteousness," and then also "king of Salem," that is, "king of peace";

For [when] the priesthood changes, of necessity there is a change of the law also.

Therefore also he is able to save completely those who draw near to God through him, [because he] always lives in order to intercede on their behalf.

For every high priest is appointed in order to offer both gifts and sacrifices; therefore [it was] necessary [for] this one also to have something that he offers.

But now he has attained a more excellent ministry, by as much as he is also mediator of a better covenant which has been enacted upon better promises.

thus also Christ, having been offered once in order to bear the sins of many, will appear for the second time without reference to sin to those who eagerly await him for salvation.

And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,

[He] also [says], "Their sins and their lawless deeds I will never remember again."

By faith also, {with Sarah}, he received {the ability to procreate} even {past the normal age}, because he regarded the one who had promised [to be] faithful.

having reasoned that God [was] able even to raise [him] from the dead, from which he received him back also as a symbol.

By faith also Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things that were going to happen.

Therefore, [since] we also have such a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us, putting aside every weight and {the sin that so easily ensnares us}, let us run with patient endurance the race that has been set before us,

For you know that also afterwards, [when he] wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, because he did not find an occasion for repentance, although he sought it with tears.

whose voice shook the earth at that time, but now he has promised, saying, "Yet once [more] I will shake not only the earth but also heaven."

Remember the prisoners, as [though you were] fellow-prisoners; [remember] the mistreated, as [though] [you] yourselves also are being [mistreated] in the body.

Therefore Jesus also suffered outside the gate, in order that he might sanctify the people by his own blood.
