has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.

having become so much better than the angels, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they have.

You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows."

But which of the angels has he told at any time, "Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?"

But one has somewhere testified, saying, "What is man, that you think of him? Or the son of man, that you care for him?

But we see him who has been made a little lower than the angels, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for everyone.

Again, "I will put my trust in him." Again, "Behold, here I am with the children whom God has given me."

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

For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who built the house has more honor than the house.

For we who have believed do enter into that rest, even as he has said, "As I swore in my wrath, they will not enter into my rest;" although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

For he has said this somewhere about the seventh day, "God rested on the seventh day from all his works;"

he again defines a certain day, today, saying through David so long a time afterward (just as has been said), "Today if you will hear his voice, don't harden your hearts."

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

Having then a great high priest, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold tightly to our confession.

For we don't have a high priest who can't be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.

For the land which has drunk the rain that comes often on it, and brings forth a crop suitable for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receives blessing from God;

but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.

We can say that through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes,

For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.

For it is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah, about which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.

who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life:

By so much, Jesus has become the collateral of a better covenant.

But he, because he lives forever, has his priesthood unchangeable.

For the law appoints men as high priests who have weakness, but the word of the oath which came after the law appoints a Son forever who has been perfected.

But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which on better promises has been given as law.

In that he says, "A new covenant," he has made the first old. But that which is becoming old and grows aged is near to vanishing away.

For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, since a death has occurred for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, that those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

For a will is in force where there has been death, for it is never in force while he who made it lives.

Therefore even the first covenant has not been dedicated without blood.

saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you."

For Christ hasn't entered into holy places made with hands, which are representations of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;

or else he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world. But now once at the end of the ages, he has been revealed to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

then he has said, "Behold, I have come to do your will." He takes away the first, that he may establish the second,

For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

How much worse punishment, do you think, will he be judged worthy of, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

Therefore don't throw away your boldness, which has a great reward.

But the righteous will live by faith. If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him."

By faith, we understand that the universe has been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen has not been made out of things which are visible.

By faith, Enoch was taken away, so that he wouldn't see death, and he was not found, because God translated him. For he has had testimony given to him that before his translation he had been well pleasing to God.

For he looked for the city which has the foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.

looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don't grow weary, fainting in your souls.

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

Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, "I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you."

Know that our brother Timothy has been freed, with whom, if he comes shortly, I will see you.
