Having become by so much better than the angels, as the name which is his heritage is more noble than theirs.

You have been a lover of righteousness and a hater of evil; and so God, your God, has put the oil of joy on your head more than on the heads of those who are with you.

For this reason there is the more need for us to give attention to the things which have come to our ears, for fear that by chance we might be slipping away.

And God was a witness with them, by signs and wonders, and by more than natural powers, and by his distribution of the Holy Spirit at his pleasure.

And it was right for this man to have more honour than Moses, even as the builder of a house has more honour than the house.

So that when it was God's desire to make it specially clear to those who by his word were to have the heritage, that his purpose was fixed, he made it more certain with an oath;

And this is even more clear if a second priest has come up who is like Melchizedek,

How much more will the blood of Christ, who, being without sin, made an offering of himself to God through the Holy Spirit, make your hearts clean from dead works to be servants of the living God?

And I will keep no more memory of their sins and of their evil-doings.

Now where there is forgiveness of these, there is no more offering for sin.

Not giving up our meetings, as is the way of some, but keeping one another strong in faith; and all the more because you see the day coming near.

For if we do evil on purpose after we have had the knowledge of what is true, there is no more offering for sins,

What more am I to say? For there would not be time to give the stories of Gideon, Barak, Samson, and Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets:

And again, if the fathers of our flesh gave us punishment and had our respect, how much more will we be under the authority of the Father of spirits, and have life?

And to the sound of a horn, and the voice of words, the hearers of which made request that not a word more might be said to them:

Whose voice was the cause of the shaking of the earth; but now he has made an oath, saying, There will be still one more shaking, not only of the earth, but of heaven.

And the words, Still one more, make it clear that there will be a taking away of those things which are shaking, as of things which are made, so that there may be only those things of which no shaking is possible.

I make this request more strongly, in the hope of coming back to you more quickly.
