For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my son, today I have begotten you"? And again, "I will be a father to him and he shall be a son to me"?

But of the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever, and the righteous scepter is the scepter of your kingdom.

But to which of the angels has he ever said, "Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies a stool for your feet"?

but Christ is faithful as a son over God's house. And we are his house, if we hold fast to our confidence and the hope of which we boast.

For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.

Because of this he has to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.

For the one of whom these things are spoken belonged to another tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar.

but he holds his priesthood forever, because he continues for ever.

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

For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices; and so it is necessary for this priest also to have something to offer.

Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law.

Nor was it that he should offer himself again and again, as the high priest enters the holy place year by year with blood not his own.

and since we have a great priest over the house of God,

By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was ready to offer up his only son,

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and offer to God acceptable worship with reverence and awe,

Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name.

Obey your leaders and submit to them; for they are keeping watch over your souls, as men who will have to give account. Let them do this with joy, and not with grief, for that would be of no advantage to you.

equip you with every good thing to do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
