But to what angel did he ever say, 'Sit at my right hand, Until I make your enemies a footstool for you"?

For it was appropriate that he who is the great First Cause of the universe should, in guiding his many children to his glorious salvation, make their leader in it fully qualified through what he suffered.

Let us, therefore, make every effort to be admitted to that Rest, so that none of us may fail through such disobedience as theirs.

I have much to say to you about this, but it is difficult to make it clear to you, because you have become so slow of apprehension.

For when God made his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater for him to make oath by, he did so by himself,

For men make oath by something greater than themselves, and they accept an oath as settling finally any disagreement they may have.

Therefore, God in his desire to make it perfectly clear to those to whom he made his promise, that his purpose was unalterable, bound himself with an oath,

so that by these two unalterable things, which make it impossible for God to break his promise, we who have taken refuge with him may be greatly encouraged to seize upon the hope that is offered to us.

Further, if he were still on earth, he would not be a priest at all, for there are priests enough provided to offer the gifts the Law prescribes??5 though the service they engage in is only a shadow and imitation of that in heaven. For when Moses was going to make the tent of worship he was warned, "Be sure to make it all just like the pattern you were shown on the mountain."

'For this is the agreement that I will make with the house of Israel, In those later days,' says the Lord; 'I will put my laws into their minds, And write them on their hearts, And they will have me for their God, And I will have them for my people.

saying, "This blood ratifies the agreement which God has commanded me to make with you."

" 'This is the agreement that I will make with them In those later days,' says the Lord, 'I will put my laws into their minds, And write them upon their hearts,' " he goes on,

Faith led him to make a temporary home as a stranger in the land he had been promised, and to live there in his tents, with Isaac and Jacob, who shared the promise with him.

For they disciplined us for a short time and as they thought proper, but he does it for our good, to make us share his holiness.

Then his voice shook the earth, but now his promise is, "But once more I will make not only the earth but the very heaven to tremble!"

Obey your leaders and give way to them, for they are keeping watch in defense of your souls, as men accountable for the trust. Make their work a joy and not a grief, for that would be the worse for you.
