For to which of the angels did He ever say, You are My Son; today I have become Your Father, or again, I will be His Father, and He will be My Son?

And:

In the beginning, Lord,
You established the earth,
and the heavens are the works of Your hands;

You will roll them up like a cloak,
and they will be changed like a robe.
But You are the same,
and Your years will never end.

Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve those who are going to inherit salvation?

For He has not subjected to angels the world to come that we are talking about.

For the One who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one Father. That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers,

For since He Himself was tested and has suffered, He is able to help those who are tested.

But Christ was faithful as a Son over His household. And we are that household if we hold on to the courage and the confidence of our hope.

No creature is hidden from Him, but all things are naked and exposed to the eyes of Him to whom we must give an account.

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tested in every way as we are, yet without sin.

He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray, since he is also subject to weakness.

In the same way, the Messiah did not exalt Himself to become a high priest, but the One who said to Him, You are My Son; today I have become Your Father,

also said in another passage, You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.

and who have fallen away, because, to their own harm, they are recrucifying the Son of God and holding Him up to contempt.

Even though we are speaking this way, dear friends, in your case we are confident of the better things connected with salvation.

For the One these things are spoken about belonged to a different tribe. No one from it has served at the altar.

For it has been testified:

You are a priest forever
in the order of Melchizedek.

but He became a priest with an oath made by the One who said to Him:

The Lord has sworn,
and He will not change His mind,
You are a priest forever.

Now many have become Levitical priests, since they are prevented by death from remaining in office.

For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak, but the promise of the oath, which came after the law, appoints a Son, who has been perfected forever.

Now if He were on earth, He wouldn’t be a priest, since there are those offering the gifts prescribed by the law.

But finding fault with His people, He says:

Look, the days are coming, says the Lord,
when I will make a new covenant
with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah—

This is a symbol for the present time, during which gifts and sacrifices are offered that cannot perfect the worshiper’s conscience.

They are physical regulations and only deal with food, drink, and various washings imposed until the time of restoration.

For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a young cow, sprinkling those who are defiled, sanctify for the purification of the flesh,

Therefore, He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance, because a death has taken place for redemption from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.

so also the Messiah, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him.

After He says above, You did not want or delight in sacrifices and offerings, whole burnt offerings and sin offerings (which are offered according to the law),

He is now waiting until His enemies are made His footstool.

For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are sanctified.

But we are not those who draw back and are destroyed, but those who have faith and obtain life.

By faith we understand that the universe was created by God’s command, so that what is seen has been made from things that are not visible.

Now those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a homeland.

And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons:

My son, do not take the Lord’s discipline lightly
or faint when you are reproved by Him,

But if you are without discipline—which all receive—then you are illegitimate children and not sons.

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us hold on to grace. By it, we may serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe,

For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the most holy place by the high priest as a sin offering are burned outside the camp.

Pray for us; for we are convinced that we have a clear conscience, wanting to conduct ourselves honorably in everything.

Greet all your leaders and all the saints. Those who are from Italy greet you.
