For to which one of the angels at any time did he say, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? and again, I will be unto him a Father, and he shall be unto me a Son?

And again when he may lead in the first begotten into the world, he says, Indeed let all the angels of God worship him.

And to which one of the angels has he at any time said, Sit thou on my right hand, until I may make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet?

Therefore it behooves us the more earnestly to give heed to the things which we have heard, lest at some time we may leak out.

And again, I will put my trust in him: and again; Behold, I and the children which God has given unto me.

Therefore he ought in all things to be made like unto his brethren, in order that he might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things appertaining to God, to the end that he may atone for the sins of the people.

whom our fathers tempted in proving me, and saw my works forty years.

Therefore I was provoked with this generation, and I said, They do always err in their heart: and they have not known my way,

as I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.

but exhort one another each day, while it is called to-day; in order that no one of you may be hardened with the deceitfulness of sin:

for we have been made partakers of Christ, if indeed we may hold fast the beginning of confidence firm unto the end.

Then let us fear, lest at some time, the promise to enter into his rest having been left, some of you may appear to have come short.

For we who have believed, do enter into rest: as he has said, As I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest: the works truly having been from the foundations of the world.

And in this again he has said, They shall not enter into my rest.

again he appoints a certain day, saying in David, as has previously been said, This day, after so long a time; If you may hear his voice this day, harden not your hearts.

Therefore let us hasten to enter into that rest, lest some one may fall by the same example of unbelief.

Therefore let us draw nigh with confidence to a throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and find grace in every opportune need.

For every high priest, being received from men, presides over men in the things appertaining to God, in order that he may offer gifts and sacrifices for sins:

Likewise Christ also did not glorify himself to become a high priest, but the one having spoken to him, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee:

And we will do this, if God may permit.

in order that you may not be dull, but imitators of those who through faith and longsufferings do inherit the promises.

that through two immutable things in which it was impossible that God should lie, we who have fled may have a strong consolation to lay hold of the hope set before us,

For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices: whence it is necessary to have something even that which he may offer.

not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they abode not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, says the Lord.

Because this is my covenant which I will establish with the house of Israel after these days, says the Lord; having given my laws in their mind, I will also write them on their heart; and I will be to them a God, and they shall be unto me a people.

And they shall no longer teach each one his neighbor, each one his brother, saying, Know ye the Lord: because all shall know me, from their small even unto the great.

And on this account he is mediator of the new covenant, since there being death, unto the redemption of the transgressions unto the first covenant, those having been called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

neither in order that he may frequently offer up himself, as the high priest goes into the holies once a year with the blood of another;

Therefore, coming into the world, he says; Sacrifice an offering thou willest not, but thou hast perfected for me a body:

then I said, Lo, I come in the volume of the Book it has been written of me to do thy will, O God.

then he has said, Lo, I come to do thy will. He takes away the first, that he may establish the second;

finally waiting until his enemies may be made the foot-stool of his feet.

This is the covenant that I will make unto them after these days, says the Lord; having given my laws on their hearts, and I will also write them in their mind;

For we know him who said, Vengeance belongs to me, I will repay; and again, The Lord will judge his people.

My righteous man shall live by faith: and if he may draw back, my soul has no pleasure in him.

And what do I yet say? time will fail me relating concerning Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, and David, and Samuel, and the prophets:

For consider him who has endured so great a contradiction of sinners against himself, in order that you may not become weary, fainting in your souls.

and you have forgotten the exhortation which reasoneth with you as with sons, My son regard not lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art proven of him:

and make straight paths for your feet, in order that whatsoever is lame may not be turned out of the way, but rather may it be healed.

looking diligently lest any one may fail from the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up may trouble you, and through it many may be defiled;

lest any one may be a fornicator, or a profane person, as was Esau, who for one morsel sold his birthright.

But he would yet once show the removal of the things shaken, as having been created, in order that the things unshaken may remain.

Therefore receiving an unshaken kingdom, let us have grace, through which we may worship God acceptably with reverence and fear:

so being confident we say, The Lord is my helper, I will not fear; what shall man do unto me?

Obey your leaders, and be submissive: for they are watching for your souls, as they shall give an account that they may do this with joy and not with grief, for this is unprofitable to you.

But I the more exhort you to do this, that I may the more speedily be restored unto you.

Know our brother Timothy has departed; with whom, if he may come the more speedily, I shall see you.
