But we see Jesus, made a little less than angels, on account of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste death for every [man].

Whence, holy brothers, partakers of the heavenly call, consider the apostle and chief priest of our profession, Jesus,

HAVING therefore a great chief priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast the profession.

where our forerunner Jesus entered, made after the order of Melchisedec a chief priest forever.

And as he was not [constituted] without swearing,??21 for they were made priests without swearing, but he with swearing by him who says to him, The Lord swore, and he will not change, You are a priest forever;??22 by so much is Jesus the pledge of a better covenant.

by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all.

HAVING therefore, brothers, confidence in respect to the entrance into the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus,

looking to the chief guide and perfecter of the faith, Jesus, who for the joy set before him despised the shame and endured the cross, and sat down on the right hand of God.

and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to a sprinkled blood which speaks better than Abel.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, to-day, and forever.

Wherefore also Jesus, that he might purify the people through his blood, suffered without the gate.

And may the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of the eternal covenant, our Lord Jesus,

perfect you in every good work to do his will, doing in you that which is pleasing in his sight through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever; amen.
