And further, when introducing the Firstborn into the world, he says, 'Let all God's angels worship him.'

Well then, as the promise of entrance into his Rest is still left to us, let us be afraid of anyone being judged to have missed it.

Let us be eager then to enter that Rest, in case anyone falls into the same sort of disobedience.

As we have a great high priest, then, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession;

So let us approach the throne of grace with confidence, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in the hour of need.

Let us pass on then to what is mature, leaving elementary Christian doctrine behind, instead of laying the foundation over again with repentance from dead works, with faith in God,

on the day I took them by the hand to lead out of Egypt's land; for they would not hold to my covenant, so I let them alone, saith the Lord.

let us draw near with a true heart, in absolute assurance of faith, our hearts sprinkled clean from a bad conscience, and our bodies washed in pure water;

let us hold the hope we avow without wavering (for we can rely on him who gave us the Promise);

and let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good deeds ??25 not ceasing to meet together, as is the habit of some, but admonishing one another, all the more so, as you see the Day coming near.

And make straight paths for your feet to walk in. You must not let the lame get dislocated, but rather make them whole.

Therefore let us render thanks that we get an unshaken realm; and in this way let us worship God acceptably ??29 but with godly fear and awe, for our God is indeed a consuming fire.

Let your brotherly love continue.

Let marriage be held in honour by all, and keep the marriage-bed unstained. God will punish the vicious and adulterous.

Never let yourselves be carried away with a variety of novel doctrines; for the right thing is to have one's heart strengthened by grace, not by the eating of food ??that has never been any use to those who have had recourse to it.

Let us go to him outside the camp, then, bearing his obloquy

And by him let us constantly offer praise to God as our sacrifice, that is, the fruit of lips that celebrate his Name.

Obey your leaders, submit to them; for they are alive to the interests of your souls, as men who will have to account for their trust. Let their work be a joy to them and not a grief ??which would be a loss to yourselves.
