GOD, who in many parts and in many ways spoke in ancient times to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by his Son,

whom he has appointed heir of all things, by whom, also, he made the ages;

having become so far superior to the angels, as the name which he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore, God, thy God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

But to which of the angels has he said at any time: Sit on my right hand, till I make thy enemies thy footstool?

For not to angels has he subjected the world to come of which we speak.

Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels; thou hast crowned him with glory and honor;

thou hast put all things under his feet. For, in putting all things under him, he left nothing that is not put under him: but now we do not yet see all things put under him.

And again: I will put my trust in him. And again: Behold, I, and the children that God has given me.

Since, then, the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also, in like manner, partook of the same, that, through his death, he might deprive of power him that has the power of death, that is, the devil;

For, inasmuch as he himself has suffered in being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

For this man is counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who has builded the house, has more honor than the house.

For he that has entered into his rest, he also has ceased from his own works, as God did from his.

Seeing, then, that we have a great high priest, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

whither a forerunner for us has gone, even Jesus, who is made a high priest forever after the order of Melchisedec.

And in the one instance, men that die receive tithes; but in the other, he receives them who has the testimony that he lives.

in so much has Jesus become the surety of a better covenant.

But this man, because he continues forever, has an unchangeable priest hood.

Now concerning the things that have been spoken, the principal point is this: We have such a high priest, who has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;

But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as he is the mediator of a better covenant, which is established with reference to better promises.

In saying, A new covenant, he has regarded the first as out of use. Now, that which is out of use, and has become old, is ready to disappear.

And for this reason, he is the mediator of the new covenant: that, since his death has taken place for the redemption of transgressions that were under the former covenant, those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

for a testament goes into effect after men are dead: seeing that it has no validity at all while the testator lives.

For the Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, the copies of the true; but he has entered heaven itself, now to present himself in the presence of God for us.

Nor has he entered, that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters the holy places every year with the blood of another:

for then, he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world. But now once in the end of the ages, he has appeared in order to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

Wherefore, when he comes into the world, he says: Sacrifice and offering thou hast not desired, but a body thou hast prepared me;

in whole burnt-offerings and offerings for sin, thou hast had no pleasure.

For by one offering, he has made a perfect and perpetual expiation for the sanctified.

by a new and living way which he has dedicated for us, through the vail, that is, his flesh;

let us hold fast the unwavering confession of our hope, for he is faithful who has promised;

of how much severer punishment do you think he shall be thought worthy, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant, with which he was sanctified, a common thing, and has done despite to the Spirit of grace?

For we know him who has said, Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord. And again, The Lord will judge his people.

Cast not away, therefore, your confidence, which has a great reward.

for he looked for a city that has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country; wherefore God is not ashamed of them, that he should be called their God: for he has prepared for them a city.

looking to Jesus the author and finisher of the faith, who, for the joy that was set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.

whose voice then shook the earth; but now he has promised, saying, Yet once more I will shake not the earth only, but also the heaven.

Let there be no money-loving disposition; be content with such things as you have. For he has said: I will never leave you, nor will I ever forsake you.
