in these last days spoke to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds,

who being the brightness of his glory and the express image of his substance, and sustaining all things by the word of his power, having made a purification of sins, sat down on the right hand of the majesty on high,

being made as much greater than the angels as he has inherited a more excellent name than they.

But we see Jesus, made a little less than angels, on account of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste death for every [man].

Since then the children have partaken of blood and flesh, he in like manner also partook of them, that through death he might destroy him that has the power of death, that is the devil,

for we have been made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of the confidence firm to the end.

For we enter into the rest who believed, as he said, I swore in my wrath that they shall not enter into my rest, although of works made from the foundation of the world.

So also Christ did not put on himself the honor of being made a chief priest, but he that said to him, Thou art my Son, to-day have I begotten thee;

and being made perfect became to all who obey him an author of eternal salvation,

For those once enlightened and having tasted of the heavenly gift and been made partakers of the Holy Spirit,

that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who fled to lay hold on the hope set before us,

where our forerunner Jesus entered, made after the order of Melchisedec a chief priest forever.

For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham as he returned from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,

without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither a beginning of days nor end of life, but being made like the Son of God, continues a priest forever.

for he was yet in his father when Melchisedec met him.

For the priesthood being changed, of necessity also there is made a change of the law.

for the law made nothing perfect, but was the introduction of a better hope through which we draw nigh to God.

And as he was not [constituted] without swearing,??21 for they were made priests without swearing, but he with swearing by him who says to him, The Lord swore, and he will not change, You are a priest forever;??22 by so much is Jesus the pledge of a better covenant.

And they indeed were made many priests, on account of being forbidden by death to continue;

For such a chief priest also was suitable for us, holy, harmless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens,

For the law constitutes men chief priests having infirmity, but the word of the oath which is after the law the Son made perfect forever.

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 Egypt, for they continued not in my covenant, and I neglected them, says the Lord.

By saying new, he made the first old; but that which is ancient and weak is about to perish.

the Holy Spirit showing this, that the way into the sanctuary is not made manifest while the first tabernacle yet has a standing,

But Christ having come, a chief priest of the good times that were to come, with a greater and a more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation,

And for this cause he is the mediator of the new covenant, that death having been for a redemption of transgressions [transgressors] under the first covenant, the called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

For Christ did not enter into the sanctuary made with hands, a type of the true, but into heaven itself, and already has appeared before God for us,

henceforth waiting till his enemies are made his footstool.

partly in being made a spectacle by reproaches and afflictions, and partly being companions of those so treated.

We know by faith that the worlds were made by the word of God, that the seen was not made from the apparent.

By faith Joseph at the close of life made mention of the exodus of the children of Israel and gave charge concerning his bones.

By faith he observed the passover and the pouring out of blood, that the destroyer of the first-born might not touch them.

extinguished the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, put to flight encampments of foreigners;

women received their dead from a resurrection, others were tortured having not accepted redemption, that they might obtain a better resurrection;

God having provided something better for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

and the sound of a trumpet and the voice of words, which those who heard desired that the word might not be spoken to them any more,??20 for they could not bear what was commanded, And if a beast touches the mountain it shall be stoned;

and to the church of the first-born who are enrolled in heaven, and to a judge the God of all, and to spirits of the righteous made perfect,

And this, Hereafter once for all, signifies the removal of the things shaken as of things made, that those not shaken may continue.

Wherefore also Jesus, that he might purify the people through his blood, suffered without the gate.
