For to which of the angels did he say at any time, "You are my Son. Today have I become your father?" and again, "I will be to him a Father, and he will be to me a Son?"

For he did not subject the world to come, of which we speak, to angels.

For, truly, he did not come to help the angels, but to help the seed of Abraham.

Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, "Today if you will hear his voice,

Therefore I was displeased with this generation, and said, 'They always err in their heart, but they did not know my ways;'

but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called "today;" lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

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

For who, when they heard, rebelled? No, did not all those who came out of Egypt by Moses?

To whom did he swear that they would not enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient?

For indeed we have had good news preached to us, even as they also did, but the word they heard did not profit them, because they were not united by faith with those who heard.

he again defines a certain day, "Today," saying through David so long a time afterward (just as has been said), "Today if you will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts."

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

So also Christ did not glorify himself to be made a high priest, but it was he who said to him, "You are my Son. Today I have become your father."

Therefore leaving the doctrine of the first principles of Christ, let us press on to perfection?not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, of faith toward God,

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

who does not need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices daily, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. For he did this once for all, when he offered up himself.

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

By faith, Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he had testimony given to him that he was righteous, God testifying with respect to his gifts; and through it he, being dead, still speaks.

Therefore as many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as innumerable as the sand which is by the sea shore, were fathered by one man, and him as good as dead.
