at the end of these days has spoken to us in the person of the Son, whom he has established heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

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

And, Thou in the beginning, Lord, hast founded the earth, and works of thy hands are the heavens.

how shall we escape if we have been negligent of so great salvation, which, having had its commencement in being spoken of by the Lord, has been confirmed to us by those who have heard;

For he has not subjected to angels the habitable world which is to come, of which we speak;

but one has testified somewhere, saying, What is man, that thou rememberest him, or son of man that thou visitest him?

Thou hast made him some little inferior to the angels; thou hast crowned him with glory and honour, and hast set him over the works of thy hands;

thou hast subjected all things under his feet. For in subjecting all things to him, he has left nothing unsubject to him. But now we see not yet all things subjected to him,

And again, I will trust in him. And again, Behold, I and the children which God has given me.

Since therefore the children partake of blood and flesh, he also, in like manner, took part in the same, that through death he might annul him who has the might of death, that is, the devil;

for, in that himself has suffered, being tempted, he is able to help those that are being tempted.

who is faithful to him that has constituted him, as Moses also in all his house.

For he has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, by how much he that has built it has more honour than the house.

For every house is built by some one; but he who has built all things is God.

For he has said somewhere of the seventh day thus, And God rested on the seventh day from all his works:

again he determines a certain day, saying, in David, 'To-day,' after so long a time; (according as it has been said before), To-day, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

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

Having therefore a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast the confession.

Thus the Christ also has not glorified himself to be made a high priest; but he who had said to him, Thou art my Son, I have to-day begotten thee.

but he who has no genealogy from them has tithed Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises.

and, so to speak, through Abraham, Levi also, who received tithes, has been made to pay tithes.

For he, of whom these things are said, belongs to a different tribe, of which no one has ever been attached to the service of the altar.

For it is clear that our Lord has sprung out of Juda, as to which tribe Moses spake nothing as to priests.

who has been constituted not according to law of fleshly commandment, but according to power of indissoluble life.

(for they are become priests without the swearing of an oath, but he with the swearing of an oath, by him who said, as to him, The Lord has sworn, and will not repent of it, Thou art priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedec;)

but he, because of his continuing for ever, has the priesthood unchangeable.

who has not day by day need, as the high priests, first to offer up sacrifices for his own sins, then for those of the people; for this he did once for all in having offered up himself.

Now a summary of the things of which we are speaking is, We have such a one high priest who has sat down on the right hand of the throne of the greatness in the heavens;

minister of the holy places and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord has pitched, and not man.

(who serve the representation and shadow of heavenly things, according as Moses was oracularly told when about to make the tabernacle; for See, saith He, that thou make all things according to the pattern which has been shewn to thee in the mountain.)

But now he has got a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is mediator of a better covenant, which is established on the footing of better promises.

In that he says New, he has made the first old; but that which grows old and aged is near disappearing.

the Holy Spirit shewing this, that the way of the holy of holies has not yet been made manifest while as yet the first tabernacle has its standing;

nor by blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, has entered in once for all into the holy of holies, having found an eternal redemption.

saying, This is the blood of the covenant which God has enjoined to you.

since he had then been obliged often to suffer from the foundation of the world. But now once in the consummation of the ages he has been manifested for the putting away of sin by his sacrifice.

Wherefore coming into the world he says, Sacrifice and offering thou willedst not; but thou hast prepared me a body.

For by one offering he has perfected in perpetuity the sanctified.

the new and living way which he has dedicated for us through the veil, that is, his flesh,

Let us hold fast the confession of the hope unwavering, (for he is faithful who has promised;)

Any one that has disregarded Moses' law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses:

of how much worse punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and esteemed the blood of the covenant, whereby he has been sanctified, common, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

Cast not away therefore your confidence, which has great recompense.

By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him; for before his translation he has the testimony that he had pleased God.

for he waited for the city which has foundations, of which God is the artificer and constructor.

but now they seek a better, that is, a heavenly; wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God; for he has prepared for them a city.

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

Let your conversation be without love of money, satisfied with your present circumstances; for he has said, I will not leave thee, neither will I forsake thee.
