God who at sundry times, and in divers manners, spake in time past to the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his SON,

At the end of these days, He hath spoken unto us in his Son, - whom he hath appointed heir of all things, through whom also he hath made the ages;

Which son, being the brightness of his glory, and very image of his substance, bearing up all things with the word of his power, hath in his own person purged our sins, and is sitten on the righthand of the majesty on high,

By so much becoming superior to the messengers, by as much as, going beyond them, he hath inherited a more distinguished name.

And again, when he hath brought in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith: "And let all the angels of God pay him homage."

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated lawlessness, - For this cause, hath God, thy God, anointed thee with the oil of exultation, beyond thy partners;

But, to which of the messengers, hath he said, at any time - Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thy foes thy footstool?

For, not unto messengers, hath he subjected the coming habitable earth of which we are speaking;

But one somewhere hath borne witness, saying - What is man, that thou shouldst make mention of him? Or the son of man, that thou shouldst put him in charge?

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

and again - I, will be confident upon him; and again - Lo! I, and the children which, unto me, God, hath given.

For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

For, of more glory than Moses, hath, this one been counted worthy - by as much as more honour than, the house, hath, he that prepared it;

For, every house, is prepared by someone, - but, he that hath prepared all things, is, God.

But Christ, as a son, hath rule over the house, whose house we are, so that we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of that hope, unto the end.

For unto us hath the gospel been preached as well as unto them; but the word heard did not profit them, not being mixt with faith in those that heard it.

For we who have believed, are to enter into the rest, according as he hath said - So I sware in mine anger, They shall not enter into my rest; And yet, the works, from the foundation of the world, had been brought into existence,

For he hath spoken, somewhere, concerning the seventh day , thus - And God rested, on the seventh day, from all his works;

Again, he marketh out a certain day, To-day, in David, saying - after so long a time as this, - according as it hath been said before: - To-day, if, unto his voice, ye would hearken, do not harden your hearts.

For, he that hath entered into his rest, He too, hath rested from his works, just as, from his own, God, rested .

Having then a great high-priest who hath passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast the confession;

For we have not a high priest that cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but one that hath been in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

For, land, which hath drunk in, the rain, thereupon ofttimes coming, and which bringeth forth vegetation fit for them for whom it is even cultivated, partaketh of a blessing from God;

Where a forerunner in our behalf hath entered, even Jesus, who, according to the rank of Melchizedek, hath become, a high-priest unto times age-abiding.

without father, without mother, without kin, and hath neither beginning of his time, neither yet end of his life: but is likened unto the son of God, and continueth a priest forever.

But, he who deriveth not his pedigree from among them, hath taken tithes of Abraham. And, the holder of the promises, hath he blessed.

And here indeed dying men receive the tithes, but there he hath a testimony borne to him that he liveth.

And - so to say a word - through Abraham, even Levi who taketh tithes hath paid tithes;

Now if there was perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for under it hath the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be reckoned after the order of Aaron?

For, he as to whom these things are said, with a different tribe, hath taken partnership, from which, no one, hath given attendance at the altar;

For it is, very evident, that out of Judah hath sprung our Lord, - respecting which tribe, concerning priests, nothing did Moses speak,

Who, not according to a law of commandment dealing with the flesh, hath arisen, but according to the power of an indissoluble life;

For although those priests became such without an oath, He had an oath form God who said to him, The Lord hath sworn and will not change, Thou art a priest forever.

By as much as this, hath, Jesus, become surety of a better covenant also.

But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.

Who hath no daily necessity, like the high-priests, beforehand, over his own sins, to be offering sacrifices, after that, over those, of the people, - for, this, he did once for all when, himself, he offered up.

A crowning point on the things being spoken: - such a one as this, have we, as high-priest, who hath sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, -

a minister of holy things, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord hath raised, and not man.

Who, indeed, are rendering divine service, with a glimpse and shadow, of the heavenly things; even as Moses hath received intimation, when about to complete the tent, - For see! saith he - Thou shalt make all things according to the model which hath been pointed out to thee in the mount.

But now hath he obtained a ministry the more excellent, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which hath been enacted upon better promises.

In that he saith, A new covenant he hath made the first old. But that which is becoming old and waxeth aged is nigh unto vanishing away.

the Holy Spirit this signifying, that the way into the holy place hath not yet been made manifest, while the first tabernacle is yet standing;

But Christ being come an high-priest of the good things to come, hath entered once for all into the holy places, through a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of this building,

For, where a covenant is, it is necessary for, the death, to be brought in, of him that hath covenanted;

For a testament is of force where there hath been death: for it doth never avail while he that made it liveth.

Wherefore even the first covenant hath not been dedicated without blood.

Saying - This, is the blood of the covenant which, God, hath sent in command unto you:

For Christ hath not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

else must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once at the end of the ages hath he been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

For the law - which hath but the shadow of good things to come, and not the things in their own fashion - can never with the sacrifices which they offer year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

then I said, Lo, I come, (in a volume of the book it hath been written concerning me,) to do, O God, Thy will;'

then hath he said, Lo, I am come to do thy will. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.

and every priest, indeed, hath stood daily serving, and the same sacrifices many times offering, that are never able to take away sins.

but this person, having offered one sacrifice for sins, for ever hath seated himself at the right hand of God;

For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

And the Holy Spirit also beareth witness to us; for after he hath said,

Having therefore, brethren, entire liberty of entrance into the holies by the blood of Jesus??20 a way, which he hath consecrated for us, newly opened, and giving life, through the vail, that is, his flesh;

Which entrance he hath consecrated for us, as a way recent and living, through the veil, that is, his flesh, -

Let us hold fast the confession of the hope without wavering, - for, faithful, is he that hath promised;

(for He is faithful who hath promised) and let us observe each other to the incitement of love and good works:

A man that hath set at nought Moses law dieth without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses:

of how much sorer punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant wherewith he was sanctified an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

For we know him that hath said - To me, belongeth avenging, I, will recompense; and again - The Lord will judge his people.

Cast not away therefore your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward.

But my righteous one shall live by faith: And if he shrink back, my soul hath no pleasure in him.

By faith we understand that the worlds have been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen hath not been made out of things which appear.

By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God translated him: for he hath had witness borne to him that before his translation he had been well-pleasing unto God:

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

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

By faith Abraham hath offered up Isaac, being tried, and the only begotten he did offer up who did receive the promises,

By faith, he hath kept the passover and the besmearing of the blood, lest, he that was destroying the first-born, should be touching them.

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

For consider him that hath endured such gainsaying of sinners against himself, that ye wax not weary, fainting in your souls.

whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more will I make to tremble not the earth only, but also the heaven.

Be ye free from the love of money; content with such things as ye have: for himself hath said, I will in no wise fail thee, neither will I in any wise forsake thee.

Know ye that our brother Timothy hath been set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.
