having become by so much better than the angels, as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they.

Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things that were heard, lest haply we drift away from them .

For he hath been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by so much as he that built the house hath more honor than the house.

Wherein God, being minded to show more abundantly unto the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with an oath;

And what we say is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there ariseth another priest,

But now hath he obtained a ministry the more excellent, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which hath been enacted upon better promises.

For I will be merciful to their iniquities, And their sins will I remember no more.

But Christ having come a high priest of the good things to come, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,

how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish unto God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

Else would they not have ceased to be offered? because the worshippers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins.

And their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

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

not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another ; and so much the more, as ye see the day drawing nigh.

For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins,

By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he had witness borne to him that he was righteous, God bearing witness in respect of his gifts: and through it he being dead yet speaketh.

And what shall I more say? for the time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah; of David and Samuel and the prophets:

and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard entreated that no word more should be spoken unto them;

See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not when they refused him that warned them on earth, much more'shall not we escape who turn away from him that warneth from heaven:

whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more will I make to tremble not the earth only, but also the heaven.

And this word , Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain.

And I exhort you the more exceedingly to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.
