For to which one of the angels at any time did he say, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? and again, I will be unto him a Father, and he shall be unto me a Son?

And again when he may lead in the first begotten into the world, he says, Indeed let all the angels of God worship him.

But somewhere one testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? Or the Son of man, that thou visitest him?

Thou didst humiliate him somewhat comparatively with the angels; thou didst crown him with glory and honor;

thou didst subordinate all things beneath his feet. For in subordinating all things beneath him, he left nothing which is not subordinated beneath him.

For it became him, on account of whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in leading many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through suffering.

And again, I will put my trust in him: and again; Behold, I and the children which God has given unto me.

Then since the children have inherited blood and flesh, he likewise also received the same, in order that through death he might set at nought him who has the power of death, that is, the devil;

being faithful to him who appointed him, as indeed Moses in all his house.

And no creature is hidden in his presence: but all things are naked and have been laid open to the eyes of him to whom the word is unto us.

Likewise Christ also did not glorify himself to become a high priest, but the one having spoken to him, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee:

Who in the days of his flesh, having with strong crying and tears offered up both prayers and supplications unto him who is able to save him from death, and having been heard on account of his piety,

and having been made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation to all those who obey him;

indeed having fallen away, to renew them again unto repentance; having crucified to themselves again the Son of God, and put him to an open shame.

For this Melchizedek, the king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, the one having met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him,

but he who did not derive his lineage from them has tithed Abraham, and blessed him having the promises.

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

but He with an oath through the one saying to him, The Lord hath sworn, and will not regret it; thou art a priest forever;

wherefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those coming unto God through him, ever living to intercede for them.

since it behooved him frequently to suffer from the foundation of the world: but now in the end of the ages he has been made manifest unto the removal of sin through the sacrifice of himself.

so also Christ, having once been offered up to bear away the sins of many, will appear the second time apart from sin unto salvation to those expecting him.

For we know him who said, Vengeance belongs to me, I will repay; and again, The Lord will judge his people.

My righteous man shall live by faith: and if he may draw back, my soul has no pleasure in him.

By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and he was not found because God translated him. For before he was translated he had the witness of the Spirit, that he pleased God:

but without faith it is impossible to please him: for it behooves the one coming unto God to believe that he is, and he is a rewarder unto them who seek him out.

And by faith Sarah herself received power unto the conception of seed, even past the time of age, since she considered him faithful who had promised.

considering that God is able to raise him from the dead; whence he also received him in a figure.

looking unto Jesus the beginner and perfecter of our faith; who for the joy that was placed before him, endured the cross, looking with contempt at the shame, and has sat down on the right hand of the throne of God.

For consider him who has endured so great a contradiction of sinners against himself, in order that you may not become weary, fainting in your souls.

and you have forgotten the exhortation which reasoneth with you as with sons, My son regard not lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art proven of him:

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