having become by so much superior to the angels, as He hath inherited a more excellent name than they.

But to whom of the angels hath He ever said, "Sit on My right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?"

for in that He Himself hath suffered, being tempted, He is able to succor those who are tempted.

For This One has been accounted worthy of more glory than Moses, by as much as He Who built the house hath more honor than the house;

For He hath spoken somewhere concerning the seventh day thus: "And God rested on the seventh day from all His works;"

Having, therefore, 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, unable to sympathize with our infirmities, but One Who hath been tempted in all points like as we, apart from sin.

For He of Whom these things are spoken hath taken part in a different tribe from which no one gave attendance at the altar.

For it is evident that our Lord hath sprung out of Judah, respecting which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priests.

Who hath been made Priest, not according to a law of a carnal commandment, but according to the power of an endless life;

by so much also hath Jesus become the surety of a better covenant.

but He, because of His abiding forever, hath His priesthood unchangeable.

Who hath no necessity daily, as the high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for his own sins, and then for those of the people (for this He did once for all, when He offered up Himself);

but now he hath obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much also as He is Mediator of a better covenant, which, indeed, has been enacted on better promises.

In that He saith, "A new covenant," He hath made the first old: but the thing that is becoming old, and is wearing out with age, is near vanishing away.

else had it been needful for Him ofttimes to suffer since the founding of a world; but now, once for all, at the end of the ages, He hath been manifested for the putting away of sin through the sacrifice of Himself.

then hath He said, "Lo, I have come to do Thy will." He taketh away the first, that He may establish the second:

For by one offering He hath perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

looking away to the Author and Perfecter of our faith, Jesus; Who, in consideration of the joy lying before Him, endured the cross, despising shame, and hath taken a seat at the right hand of the throne of God.

For consider Him Who hath endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself, lest ye become weary, fainting in your souls.

Whose voice then shook the earth, but now hath He promised, saying, "Yet once more I shake, not only the earth, but also the heaven."

Let your disposition be without fondness for money; content with the present things; for He Himself hath said, "I will in nowise leave you, neither will I in any wise forsake you."
