But we see him who was made a little lower than the angels, even Jesus, crowned with glory and honour, because he let himself be put to death so that by the grace of God he might undergo death for all men.

For this reason, holy brothers, marked out to have a part in heaven, give thought to Jesus the representative and high priest of our faith;

Having then a great high priest, who has made his way through the heavens, even Jesus the Son of God, let us be strong in our faith.

Where Jesus has gone before us, as a high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

By so much is it a better agreement which we have through Jesus.

By that pleasure we have been made holy, by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once and for ever.

But when Jesus had made one offering for sins for ever, he took his place at the right hand of God;

So then, my brothers, being able to go into the holy place without fear, because of the blood of Jesus,

Having our eyes fixed on Jesus, the guide and end of our faith, who went through the pains of the cross, not caring for the shame, because of the joy which was before him, and who has now taken his place at the right hand of God's seat of power.

And to Jesus by whom the new agreement has been made between God and man, and to the sign of the blood which says better things than Abel's blood.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and for ever.

For this reason Jesus was put to death outside the walls, so that he might make the people holy by his blood.

Now may the God of peace, who made that great keeper of his flock, even our Lord Jesus, come back from the dead through the blood of the eternal agreement,

Make you full of every good work and ready to do all his desires, working in us whatever is pleasing in his eyes through Jesus Christ; and may the glory be given to him for ever and ever. So be it.
