On many occasions and in many ways in the olden time, God having spoken to the fathers through the prophets, at the last of these days has spoken to us through his Son,

being so much greater than the angels, that he has inherited a name so much more excellent than they.

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

And to which one of the angels has he at any time said, Sit thou on my right hand, until I may make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet?

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

Then since the children have inherited blood and flesh, he likewise also received the same, in order that through death he might set at nought him who has the power of death, that is, the devil;

For he is esteemed worthy of more honor than Moses, inasmuch as the One having built it, has more honor than the house.

For we who have believed, do enter into rest: as he has said, As I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest: the works truly having been from the foundations of the world.

For he somewhere has spoken thus in reference to the seventh day, And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.

And in this again he has said, They shall not enter into my rest.

again he appoints a certain day, saying in David, as has previously been said, This day, after so long a time; If you may hear his voice this day, harden not your hearts.

For the one having entered into his rest has ceased from his works, as God did from his own.

and on this account he has need, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer sacrifices for sins.

whither Jesus the forerunner has entered in our behalf, having been made a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

but he who did not derive his lineage from them has tithed Abraham, and blessed him having the promises.

And, so to speak a word, Levi, the one receiving tithes, has also been tithed through Abraham.

insomuch that Jesus has also been made the mediator of a better covenant.

but he, because he abides forever, has an unchangeable priesthood:

but now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, insomuch that he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been founded on better promises.

In that he calls it new, he has made the first one old; but that which is old and antiquated is nigh unto vanishing.

the Holy Spirit showing this, the way of the holies has not yet been made manifest, the first tabernacle yet standing:

for a covenant is valid in case of the dead: since it has no force while the covenanter lives.

since it behooved him frequently to suffer from the foundation of the world: but now in the end of the ages he has been made manifest unto the removal of sin through the sacrifice of himself.

Therefore, coming into the world, he says; Sacrifice an offering thou willest not, but thou hast perfected for me a body:

then I said, Lo, I come in the volume of the Book it has been written of me to do thy will, O God.

then he has said, Lo, I come to do thy will. He takes away the first, that he may establish the second;

For by one offering he has forever perfected the sanctified.

by which he has opened unto us a new and living way, through the veil, that is, of his flesh,

Therefore cast not away your confidence, which has great reward.

My righteous man shall live by faith: and if he may draw back, my soul has no pleasure in him.

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

looking unto Jesus the beginner and perfecter of our faith; who for the joy that was placed before him, endured the cross, looking with contempt at the shame, and has sat down on the right hand of the throne of God.

For consider him who has endured so great a contradiction of sinners against himself, in order that you may not become weary, fainting in your souls.

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

Know our brother Timothy has departed; with whom, if he may come the more speedily, I shall see you.
