For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my son! Today I have fathered you"? And in another place he says, "I will be his father and he will be my son."

And in another place, "Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast founded the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands:

but day by day, as long as "Today" shall last, continue to encourage one another, so that not one of you may be hardened by sin's deceiving ways,

He again sets a definite day, [a new] “Today,” [providing another opportunity to enter that rest by] saying through David after so long a time, just as has been said before [in the words already quoted],

“Today if you hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts.”

For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken about another day after these things.

(And just as he says in another, Thou are a priest into the age according to the order of Melchizedek.)

of which we shall treat another time, if God permit.

If indeed therefore perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people had received the law), what further need is there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be designated

For he of whom these things are spoken pertains to another tribe, from which no man has attended to the altar.

And it is still far more evident, if according to the likeness of Melchizedek, there arises another priest,

For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion for a second one or an attempt to institute another one [the new covenant].

Behind the second veil there was another tabernacle [the inner one or second section] known as the Holy of Holies,

And not so that he might offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the Holy things each year with blood by another,

Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering (for he is faithful that hath promised) And let us consider one another,

and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and good works;

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.

For we know who it is that has said, "Vengeance belongs to me! I will pay back!" and in another place, "The Lord will be the judge of his people!"

Continue to look after one another, that no one fails to gain God's spiritual blessing; or some evil like a bitter root may spring up and trouble you, and many of you be contaminated by it --

and to the noise of a trumpet, and to the sound of words which those who heard begged [that] not [another] word be spoken to them.

Continue to love [one another] as brothers.
