For to which of the angels ever said he, "My Son art thou, I have to-day begotten thee?" And again, "I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?"

And again, when he introduces the first-begotten into the world, he saith, "Let all the angels of God also worship him."

how shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation, which, commencing at the beginning to be spoken by the Lord, was confirmed unto us by those who had heard him;

But one in a certain passage testifieth, saying, "What is man, that thou rememberest him, or a son of man, that thou regardest him?"

"Thou hast made him for a little while lower than angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour, and hast placed him over the works of thy hands:

thou hast subjected all things under his feet." Now in subjecting all things to him, he left nothing unsubjected to him; but at present we see not yet all things subjected to him.

For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to perfect the Author of their salvation by sufferings.

And again, "I will place my confidence in him." And again, "Behold! Here am I, and the children which God hath given me."

Seeing therefore that the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he also himself, in exact resemblance, partook of the same, that by death he might destroy him who held the power of death, that is, the devil;

For he verily took not on him the angelic nature, but assumed that of the seed of Abraham.

who was faithful to him who appointed him, as Moses also was in all his house.

For some, though they had heard, provoked him; yet not all who came out of Egypt by Moses.

Even creation is not invisible before him, but all things are naked, and fully displayed before his eyes, to whom we must give our account.

So Christ also did not himself assume the glory to become high-priest, but he [gave it] who spake to him, "Thou art my Son; I have this day begotten thee."

who in the days of his flesh, with strong crying and tears, having offered up prayers and supplications to him who was able to save him from death, and being heard for his reverential awe,

and complete himself, he became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey him;

and yet have fallen away: for they crucify again to themselves the Son of God, and expose him to public infamy.

FOR this Melchisedec, king of Salem, a priest of God most high, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;

But he who derived not his genealogy from them, received tithes from Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises;

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

For he was as yet in the loins of his father when Melchisedec met him.

(for they indeed were made priests without an oath; but he with an oath, by him who said unto him, "The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:")

Wherefore also he is able to save to the uttermost those who come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

which figurative representation [continues] unto the present time, according to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, which cannot, with respect to conscience, make him perfect who performs the services,

so Christ having been once offered in sacrifice to bear the sins of men, will appear the second time without sin, to those who expect him, for their salvation.

let us come to him with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and the body washed with pure water:

For we know him who declares, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord." And again, "The Lord will judge his people."

"The just man then will live by faith;" and if he draw back, my soul shall have no delight in him.

By faith Enoch was translated, so as not to see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he was recorded to have been acceptable to God.

But without faith it is impossible to be acceptable; for he must believe, who cometh unto God, that he exists, and is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.

reasoning that God was able to raise him up again, even from the dead; from whence also figuratively he had received him.

earnestly looking up to Jesus the author and the finisher of faith; who, for the joy set before him, endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Consider then attentively him that endured from sinners such opposition against himself, that ye be not wearied out, fainting in your souls.

Beware that ye reject not him that speaketh: for if they escaped not, who rejected him, that upon earth spake by divine influence, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him who speaks from heaven:

Therefore let us go forth to him without the camp, bearing his reproach.

By him therefore let us offer a sacrifice of praise perpetually to God, that is the fruit of our lips confessing his name.
