For to what angel did God ever say, "You are my Son! I have today become your Father"? Or again, "I will become his Father, and he shall become my Son"?

But to what angel did he ever say, 'Sit at my right hand, Until I make your enemies a footstool for you"?

For we have had good news preached to us, just as they did, but the message they heard did them no good because they did not agree through faith with what they heard.

For all who are admitted to God's Rest rest after their work, just as God did after his.

So even Christ did not claim for himself the dignity of the high priesthood, but he was appointed to it by him who said to him, "You are my Son! I have today become your Father!"

For when God made his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater for him to make oath by, he did so by himself,

who does not need, as the old high priests did, to offer sacrifices every day, first for his own sins and then for those of the people??or this last he has done once for all, in offering up himself.

For while the Law foreshadowed the blessings that were to come, it did not fully express them, and so the priests by offering the same sacrifices endlessly year after year cannot wholly free those who come to worship from their sins.

It is faith that enables us to see that the universe was created at the command of God, so that the world we see did not simply arise out of matter.

For he believed that God was able to raise men even from the dead, and from the dead he did indeed, to speak figuratively, receive him back.
