And again, when he is sending his only Son into the world, he says, Let all the angels of God give him worship.

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.

And let those who all their lives were in chains because of their fear of death, go free.

And so, as the Holy Spirit says, Today if you let his voice come to your ears,

As it is said, Today if you will let his voice come to your ears, be not hard of heart, as when you made him angry.

Let us then, though we still have God's word that we may come into his rest, go in fear that some of you may be unable to do so.

After a long time, again naming a certain day, he says in David, Today (as he had said before), Today if you will let his voice come to your ears, be not hard of heart,

Because of this, let us have a strong desire to come into that rest, and let no one go after the example of those who went against God's orders.

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.

Then let us come near to the seat of grace without fear, so that mercy may be given to us, and we may get grace for our help in time of need.

For this reason let us go on from the first things about Christ to full growth; not building again that on which it is based, that is, the turning of the heart from dead works, and faith in God,

As for those who at one time saw the light, tasting the good things from heaven, and having their part in the Holy Spirit,

And then let themselves be turned away, it is not possible for their hearts to be made new a second time; because they themselves put the Son of God on the cross again, openly shaming him.

And it is true that there have been a great number of those priests, because death does not let them go on for ever;

Let us go in with true hearts, in certain faith, having our hearts made free from the sense of sin and our bodies washed with clean water:

Let us keep the witness of our hope strong and unshaking, for he is true who has given his word:

And let us be moving one another at all times to love and good works;

But give thought to the days after you had seen the light, when you went through a great war of troubles;

Women had their dead given back to them living; others let themselves be cruelly attacked, having no desire to go free, so that they might have a better life to come;

For this reason, as we are circled by so great a cloud of witnesses, putting off every weight, and the sin into which we come so readily, let us keep on running in the way which is marked out for us,

For this cause let the hands which are hanging down be lifted up, and let the feeble knees be made strong,

Let your desire be for peace with all men, and to be made holy, without which no man may see the Lord;

And that there may not be any evil liver, or any man without respect for God, like Esau, who let his birthright go for a plate of food.

If then, we have a kingdom which will never be moved, let us have grace, so that we may give God such worship as is pleasing to him with fear and respect:

Let married life be honoured among all of you and not made unclean; for men untrue in married life will be judged by God.

Keep in mind those who were over you, and who gave you the word of God; seeing the outcome of their way of life, let your faith be like theirs.

Let us then go out to him outside the circle of the tents, taking his shame on ourselves.

Let us then make offerings of praise to God at all times through him, that is to say, the fruit of lips giving witness to his name.

Give ear to those who are rulers over you, and do as they say: for they keep watch over your souls, ready to give an account of them; let them be able to do this with joy and not with grief, because that would be of no profit to you.

Our brother Timothy has been let out of prison; and if he comes here in a short time, he and I will come to you together.
