but Christ was as a son, over his own house; whose house we are, if we hold fast the boldness and rejoicing of hope firm unto the end.

For every high priest, being received from men, presides over men in the things appertaining to God, in order that he may offer gifts and sacrifices for sins:

and on this account he has need, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer sacrifices for sins.

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

who had not daily need, as the high priests, first to offer up sacrifices for their own sins, then those of the people: for he did this, having offered up himself once.

For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices: whence it is necessary to have something even that which he may offer.

neither in order that he may frequently offer up himself, as the high priest goes into the holies once a year with the blood of another;

For the law having the shadow of good things to come, not the real image of the things, annually with the same sacrifices which they offer continually, is by no means able to make perfect those coming to it:

and having a great high priest over the house of God;

These all died in the faith, not having received the promises, but seeing them afar off, and embracing them, and confessing that they are strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

Let your deportment be free from covetousness; being content with present things: for he said, I will not, I will not, leave you, neither do I ever forsake you;

Therefore let us offer to God a sacrifice of praise continually, that is, the fruit of our lips, confessing to his name.
