in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed heir of all [things], through whom also he made the world,

who is the radiance of his glory and the representation of his essence, sustaining all [things] by the word of power. [When he] had made purification for sins through him, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

You made him for a short [time] lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and honor;

but we see Jesus, for a short [time] made lower than the angels, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, so that apart from God he might taste death on behalf of everyone.

Therefore he was obligated to be made like his brothers in all [respects], in order that he could become a merciful and faithful high priest in the things relating to God, in order to make atonement for the sins of the people.

For [when] God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater to swear by, he swore by himself,

For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham [as he] was returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,

For he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.

(for the law [made] nothing perfect), but on the other hand [there is] the introduction of a better hope through which we draw near to God.

For the law appoints men [as] high priests who have weakness, but the statement of the oath, after the law, [appoints] a Son, who is made perfect {forever}.

not like the covenant which I made with their fathers on the day I took hold of them by my hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not continue in my covenant and I disregarded them, says the Lord.

But Christ has arrived [as] a high priest of the good [things] to come. Through the greater and more perfect tent not made by hands, that is, not of this creation,

For where [there is] a will, [it is] a necessity [for] the death of the one who made the will to be established.

For a will [is] in force concerning those who are dead, since [it is] never in force when the one who made the will is alive.

For Christ did not enter into a sanctuary made by hands, a [mere] copy of the true [one], but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf,

by which will we are made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

from now on waiting until his enemies are made a footstool for his feet.

For by one offering he has perfected for all time those who are made holy.

How much worse punishment do you think the person will be considered worthy of who treats with disdain the Son of God and who considers ordinary the blood of the covenant by which he was made holy and who insults the Spirit of grace?

By faith they crossed the Red Sea as if on dry land; the Egyptians, {when they made the attempt}, were drowned.

extinguished the effectiveness of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, were made strong from weakness, became mighty in battle, put to flight enemy battle lines.

Women received back their dead by resurrection. But others were tortured, not accepting release, in order that they might gain a better resurrection.

[because] God had provided something better for us, so that they would not be made perfect without us.

and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of righteous [people] made perfect,

Therefore Jesus also suffered outside the gate, in order that he might sanctify the people by his own blood.
