What we do see is Jesus, who was made for a time a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor, because of the suffering of death, in order that through God's grace he might taste death for every man.

Therefore, holy brothers, comrades of a heavenly calling, fix your thoughts then upon Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession.

Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who has built a house has higher honor than the house itself.

In the days of his flesh, with better cries and weeping Jesus offered up prayers and supplications to Him who was able to save him out of death; and he was heard because of his devout submission.

whither Jesus himself is entered as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.

And by so much Jesus becomes the guarantor of a better covenant.

But Jesus has obtained a better ministry, by so much as he is also Mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted upon better promises.

And it is by this will that we have been sanctified by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Since, then, we have a cheerful confidence, brothers, to enter into the Holiest by the blood of Jesus,

looking unto Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured a cross, despising shame, and has now taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.

to Jesus the Mediator of the New Covenant, and to his sprinkled Blood whose message cries louder than that of Abel.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

and so Jesus suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people by his own blood.

Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of an eternal covenant,

equip you in every good deed for the doing of his will, doing in you what is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory unto the ages of the ages! Amen!
