Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, observe the sent and Chief Priest of our assent, Christ Jesus;

Having therefore a great chief priest, passed to the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, we should hold firmly the assent.

We should hold the assent of hope not bending; (for faithful he having promised;)

According to faith died all these, not having received the promises, but having seen them from afar, and been persuaded, and having embraced, and assented that they are strangers and newly arrived from a foreign country upon earth.

By him therefore we should always bring up the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of the lips assenting to his name.
