Now about the angels he says, "He makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire."

Now when God put everything under him, he left nothing outside his control. However, at the present time we do not yet see everything put under him. But we do see someone who was made a little lower than the angels. He is Jesus, who is crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might experience death for everyone.

Now who heard him and provoked him? Was it not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?

In fact, though by now you should be teachers, you still need someone to teach you the basic truths of God's word. You have become people who need milk instead of solid food.

Now this man Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest of the Most High God, met Abraham and blessed him when he was returning from defeating the kings.

Now if perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood for on this basis the people received the Law what further need would there be to speak of appointing another kind of priest according to the order of Melchizedek, not one according to the order of Aaron?

Now none of this happened without an oath. Others became priests without any oath,

Now the main point in what we are saying is this: we do have this kind of high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven

Now if he were on earth, he would not even be a priest, because other men offer the gifts prescribed by the Law.

However, Jesus has now obtained a more superior ministry, since the covenant he mediates is founded on better promises.

Now even the first covenant had regulations for worship and an earthly sanctuary.

Above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the place of atonement. (We cannot discuss these things in detail now.)

For the Messiah did not go into a sanctuary made by human hands that is merely a copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, to appear now in God's presence on our behalf.

Then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the creation of the world. But now, at the end of the ages, he has appeared once for all to remove sin by his sacrifice.

Now where there is forgiveness of these sins, there is no longer any offering for sin.

Now, we do not belong to those who turn back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.

Now faith is the assurance that what we hope for will come about and the certainty that what we cannot see exists.

Now without faith it is impossible to please God, for whoever comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who diligently search for him.

Now if you are without any discipline, in which all sons share, then you are illegitimate and not God's sons.

At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, "Once more I will shake not only the earth but also heaven."

Now may the God of peace, who by the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, the Great Shepherd of the sheep,
