For to which of the angels did He ever say,
“You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You”? And again,“I will be a Father to Him
And He shall be a Son to Me”?

And when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says,
“And let all the angels of God worship Him.”

But one has testified somewhere, saying,
“What is man, that You remember him?
Or the son of man, that You are concerned about him?

“You have made him for a little while lower than the angels;
You have crowned him with glory and honor,
And have appointed him over the works of Your hands;

You have put all things in subjection under his feet.”For in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we do not yet see all things subjected to him.

But we do see Him who was made for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.

For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to perfect the author of their salvation through sufferings.

And again,
“I will put My trust in Him.”And again,“Behold, I and the children whom God has given Me.”

Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,

He was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was in all His house.

For who provoked Him when they had heard? Indeed, did not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?

And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.

So also Christ did not glorify Himself so as to become a high priest, but He who said to Him,
“You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You”;

In the days of His flesh, He offered up both prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to the One able to save Him from death, and He was heard because of His piety.

And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation,

Concerning him we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.

and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame.

For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham as he was returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,

for he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.

For it is attested of Him,
“You are a priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek.”

(for they indeed became priests without an oath, but He with an oath through the One who said to Him,
“The Lord has sworn
And will not change His mind,
‘You are a priest forever’”);

Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.

so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him.

For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay.” And again, “The Lord will judge His people.”

But My righteous one shall live by faith;
And if he shrinks back, My soul has no pleasure in him.

By faith Enoch was taken up so that he would not see death; and he was not found because God took him up; for he obtained the witness that before his being taken up he was pleasing to God.

And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.

By faith even Sarah herself received ability to conceive, even beyond the proper time of life, since she considered Him faithful who had promised.

Therefore there was born even of one man, and him as good as dead at that, as many descendants as the stars of heaven in number, and innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.

He considered that God is able to raise people even from the dead, from which he also received him back as a type.

By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing Him who is unseen.

fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons,
“My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,
Nor faint when you are reproved by Him;

See to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking. For if those did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape who turn away from Him who warns from heaven.

So, let us go out to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach.

Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name.
