But now, at the end of these days, it has come to us through his Son, to whom he has given all things for a heritage, and through whom he made the order of the generations;

They will come to their end; but you are for ever; they will become old as a robe;

For this reason there is the more need for us to give attention to the things which have come to our ears, for fear that by chance we might be slipping away.

What will come on us, if we do not give our minds to such a great salvation? a salvation of which our fathers first had knowledge through the words of the Lord, and which was made certain to us by those to whom his words came;

For he did not make the angels rulers over the world to come, of which I am writing.

And so, as the Holy Spirit says, Today if you let his voice come to your ears,

And being angry I made an oath, saying, They may not come into my rest.

As it is said, Today if you will let his voice come to your ears, be not hard of heart, as when you made him angry.

And to whom did he make an oath that they might not come into his rest? was it not to those who went against his orders?

Let us then, though we still have God's word that we may come into his rest, go in fear that some of you may be unable to do so.

For those of us who have belief come into his rest; even as he has said, As I said in my oath when I was angry, They may not come into my rest: though the works were done from the time of the making of the world.

And in the same place he says again, They will not come into my rest.

After a long time, again naming a certain day, he says in David, Today (as he had said before), Today if you will let his voice come to your ears, be not hard of heart,

Because of this, let us have a strong desire to come into that rest, and let no one go after the example of those who went against God's orders.

Then let us come near to the seat of grace without fear, so that mercy may be given to us, and we may get grace for our help in time of need.

And this is even more clear if a second priest has come up who is like Melchizedek,

(Because the law made nothing complete), and in its place there is a better hope, through which we come near to God.

So that he is fully able to be the saviour of all who come to God through him, because he is ever living to make prayer to God for them.

But now Christ has come as the high priest of the good things of the future, through this greater and better Tent, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this world,

And for this cause it is through him that a new agreement has come into being, so that after the errors under the first agreement had been taken away by his death, the word of God might have effect for those who were marked out for an eternal heritage.

For then he would have undergone a number of deaths from the time of the making of the world: but now he has come to us at the end of the old order, to put away sin by the offering of himself.

For the law, being only a poor copy of the future good things, and not the true image of those things, is never able to make the people who come to the altar every year with the same offerings completely clean.

Then I said, See, I have come to do your pleasure, O God (as it is said of me in the roll of the book).

Then he said, See, I have come to do your pleasure. He took away the old order, so that he might put the new order in its place.

In a very little time he who is coming will come; he will not be slow.

By faith Isaac, blessing Jacob and Esau, gave news of things to come.

Women had their dead given back to them living; others let themselves be cruelly attacked, having no desire to go free, so that they might have a better life to come;

For this reason, as we are circled by so great a cloud of witnesses, putting off every weight, and the sin into which we come so readily, let us keep on running in the way which is marked out for us,

Looking with care to see that no man among you in his behaviour comes short of the grace of God; for fear that some bitter root may come up to be a trouble to you, and that some of you may be made unclean by it;

You have not come to a mountain which may be touched, and is burning with fire, and to a black cloud, and a dark smoke, and a violent wind,

But you have come to the mountain of Zion, to the place of the living God, to the Jerusalem which is in heaven, and to an army of angels which may not be numbered,

For here we have no fixed resting-place, but our search is for the one which is to come.

Now may the God of peace, who made that great keeper of his flock, even our Lord Jesus, come back from the dead through the blood of the eternal agreement,

Our brother Timothy has been let out of prison; and if he comes here in a short time, he and I will come to you together.
