For Jesus has been considered deserving of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house deserves greater honor than the house itself.

For when God made a promise to Abraham, since He could not make a vow by anyone greater, He vowed by Himself,

For people make vows by someone greater [than themselves], and an argument is settled when someone takes an oath [that he is telling the truth].

But when Christ became the Head Priest of the good things that have come, He entered the greater and more complete Tabernacle, not made by hand, that is, not part of this creation [i.e., heaven, See 8:2].

He considered suffering ridicule for Christ's sake to be greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking forward to his reward.
