For to which of the heavenly agents did he ever say, Thou are my Son, today I have begotten thee? And again, I will be to him for a Father, and he will be to me for a Son?

For he did not subject the coming world to heavenly agents, about which we speak.

For he certainly did not embrace heavenly agents, but he embraced the seed of Abraham.

Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, Today if ye hear his voice,

Therefore I was angry with that generation, and said, They are always led astray in their heart, and they did not know my ways.

But exhort each other during each day, while it is called Today, lest any of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

while it is said, Today if ye will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.

And to whom did he swear were not going to enter into his rest, if not to those who were disobedient?

For we also are having good-news preached, just as also those men, but the word of hearing did not benefit those men, not having been mixed together with faith in those who heard.

Since therefore it remains for some to enter into it, and those who formerly had good-news did not enter because of disobedience,

again he appoints a certain day, Today, saying in David after so long a time (as it is said), Today if ye will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.

For a man who has entered into his rest, he has also rested from his works, as God did from his own.

So also Christ did not glorify himself to become a high priest, but it was he who said to him, Thou are my Son, today I have begotten thee.

Therefore having left the word of the primacy of Christ, let us be brought forward to perfection, not again laying a foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

of doctrine of washings, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

But the man who did not descend from them has received tithes from Abraham, and has blessed the man having the promises.

Who has no need to offer up sacrifices each day, as those high priests, first for his own sins, then for those of the people, for this he did, once, when he offered up himself.

Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by my hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt. Because they did not continue in my covenant, and I disregarded them, says Lord.

how much more the blood of Christ, who, through the eternal Spirit, offered himself unblemished to God, will cleanse your conscience from dead works in order to serve a living God?

For a covenant is effective with the dead, since it is never enforced while the man who made the covenant lives.

Therefore when he comes into the world, he says, Sacrifice and offering thou did not desire, but thou prepared for me a body.

saying above, Sacrifice and offering and whole burnt offerings and for sin thou did not desire, nor were thou pleased with things that are offered according to the law.

Having reckoned that God is able to raise up even from the dead, from where also, in a figure, he did receive him back.

Women took hold of their dead from a resurrection, but others were tortured, not having accepted deliverance, so that they might experience a superior resurrection.

And all these, having been well reported through faith, did not receive the promise,

For they did not bear that which was commanded, if even a beast should touch the mountain, it shall be stoned.

Watch, that ye not refuse him who speaks. For if those men did not escape, having refused him who spoke a divine message on earth, much more we, those who turn away from him from the heavens,
