in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed heir of all [things], through whom also he made the world,

And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.

For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

even though his actions had been finished since the creation of the world. Somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day as follows: "On the seventh day God rested from all his actions,"

And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

Now even a first covenant had ordinances of divine service, and its sanctuary, a sanctuary of this world.

But now Christ has come as the high priest of the good things of the future, through this greater and better Tent, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this world,

Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, like the high priest entering the holy place every year with blood that was not his own: ??26 for in that case he would have had to suffer repeatedly, ever since the world was founded. Nay, once for all, at the end of the world, he has appeared with his self-sacrifice to abolish sin.

For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:

Through faith we understand that the world was ordained, by the word of God: and that things which are seen, were made of things which are not seen.

By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

They were stoned to death, they were tortured to death, they were sawed in two, they were killed with the sword. Clothed in the skins of sheep or goats, they were driven from place to place, destitute, persecuted, misused??38 men of whom the world was not worthy wandering in deserts, mountains, caves, and holes in the ground.

(Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.

Pray for us, for we trust we have a clear conscience, and desire our virtuous conduct may appear to all the world.

make you perfect in all good works, to do his will, working in you that which is pleasant in his sight through Iesus Christ: To whom be praise for ever while the world endureth. Amen.
