and thou shalt roll them up like a mantle, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail thee.

Are not all these ministering spirits, having been sent forth unto ministration for the sake of those who are about to inherit salvation?

For he did not submit the world to come, concerning which we speak, to angels.

thou didst subordinate all things beneath his feet. For in subordinating all things beneath him, he left nothing which is not subordinated beneath him.

For both the one sanctifying and they who are sanctified are all of one: on account of which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

For not yet does he take upon himself the nature of angels, but he takes upon himself the seed of Abraham.

harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness,

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.

In that it is said, This day if you hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation:

for who were those, having heard, who were hardened? yea, were they not all those having come out of Egypt under Moses?

And with whom was he provoked forty years? was it not with those that sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?

And to whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who believed not?

And we see that they were not able to enter in on account of their unbelief.

For we truly have had the gospel preached unto us, as they did also: but the word of hearing did not profit them, not being mixed with faith to those hearing.

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.

Then since it remains that some do enter into it, and those formerly having had the gospel preached unto them did not enter in on account of unbelief,

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.

For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not speak concerning another day after these things.

For we have not a high priest who is not able to be touched with our infirmities; but one having been tempted as to all things like unto us, apart from sin.

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

and on this account he has need, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer 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:

For indeed you, who ought to be teachers so far as time is concerned, have need that some one again teach you what are the rudiments of the beginning of the oracles of God; and you have need of milk, not solid food.

Therefore having left the word of the beginning of Christ, let us be carried to perfection; not again laying the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and the divine love which you manifested in his name, having ministered to the saints, and ministering.

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

but he who did not derive his lineage from them has tithed Abraham, and blessed him having the promises.

Then indeed if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood, for unto it the people have been tithed, what need is there still that another priest shall rise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

who was not made after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.

but He with an oath through the one saying to him, The Lord hath sworn, and will not regret it; thou art a priest forever;

who had not daily need, as the high priests, first to offer up sacrifices for their own sins, then those of the people: for he did this, having offered up himself once.

The minister of the holy things, and of the true tabernacle, which God pitched, and not man.

If then indeed he was on the earth, he would not be a priest, there being those offering gifts according to law,

For if that first covenant had been faultless, a place would not have been sought for the second.

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.

and above this was the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat; concerning which things it is not pertinent to speak specifically.

and into the second comes the high priest alone once a year, not without blood, which he offers for himself, and the errors of the people;

the Holy Spirit showing this, the way of the holies has not yet been made manifest, the first tabernacle yet standing:

which is a figure unto the present time, in which gifts and sacrifices are offered, not being able to make the worshiper perfect, as to his conscience;

But Christ being a high priest of good things to come, through a greater and a more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of this world;

For Christ did not come into the sanctuaries made with hands, the pattern of the true; but into heaven itself, now to be made manifest unto the face of God in our behalf:

For the law having the shadow of good things to come, not the real image of the things, annually with the same sacrifices which they offer continually, is by no means able to make perfect those coming to it:

since in that case would they not have ceased being offered, because the worshipers having once been purified would have had no more conscience of sins?

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

whole burnt offerings and offerings for sins thou wast not pleased with:

Saying above, that Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and offerings for sin thou didst not will, neither wast well pleased with; whatsoever are offered according to law;

not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together as is the custom to some; but exhorting: and this the more, as you see the days drawing nigh.

Therefore cast not away your confidence, which has great reward.

For you have need of patience, in order that, having done the will of God, you will inherit the promise.

For yet a little while, the one coming will come, and will not tarry.

But we are not of the drawing back unto perdition; but of faith unto the salvation of the soul.

But faith is the confidence of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

By faith we understand that the worlds were created by the word of God, and that which was seen was not made from things which are manifest.

By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and he was not found because God translated him. For before he was translated he had the witness of the Spirit, that he pleased God:

By faith Noah, being warned concerning things not yet seen, being moved with fear, prepared an ark for the salvation of his family; by which he condemned the world, and became heir to the righteousness which is according to faith.

By faith Abraham, being called to go out into a place which he was about to receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and went out, not knowing whither he goes.

These all died in the faith, not having received the promises, but seeing them afar off, and embracing them, and confessing that they are strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

but now they seek a better country, that is, a heavenly. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he has prepared for them a city.

By faith Moses, having been born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw that he was a beautiful child; and did not fear the commandment of the king.

By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he went out, as seeing the invisible one.

By faith he instituted the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, in order that the one destroying the first-born might not touch them.

By faith Rahab the harlot perished not with the unbelievers, having received the spies with peace.

women receive their dead from a resurrection: some were tortured, not accepting deliverance; in order that they might receive a better resurrection:

of whom the world was not worthy; wandering in deserts, and in mountains, and caves and dens of the earth.

And all these, having received the witness of the spirit through faith, did not obtain the promise:

God having reserved something better for us, that they might not be made perfect apart from us.

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.

For you have not yet resisted unto blood, fighting against sin;

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:

Endure unto chastisement; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom the father does not chastise?

And if you are without chastisement, of which all have been partakers, then are you bastards, and not sons.

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.

For you have not come to the mountain that can be touched, and that is burnt with fire, and unto blackness and darkness, and tempest,

and to the sound of the trumpet, and the voice of words; which those having heard requested that the word should not be spoken unto them:

for they could not endure that which was spoken, If a wild beast should touch the mountain, it shall be pierced through with a dart:

See that you do not reject the one speaking: for if they escape not having rejected the one delivering them the divine oracles on earth, how much more shall we not escape, who turn away from the one speaking from the heavens:

whose voice then shook the earth; but now he has promised, saying, I will still once shake not only the earth, but also heaven.

Forget not hospitality: for by it some having entertained angels were incognizant.

Let your deportment be free from covetousness; being content with present things: for he said, I will not, I will not, leave you, neither do I ever forsake you;

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

Be not carried away with fantastical and strange teachings: for it is good that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, in which those going round were not profited.

But do not forget benefaction and fellowship: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

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.
