And again, when he is sending his only Son into the world, he says, Let all the angels of God give him worship.

Thou hast made him only a little lower that the angels; With glory and honor hast thou crowned him; And hast set him to govern the works of thy hands;

Now Moses was faithful in all the house of God, yet only as a servant to bear witness to the message that should be spoken,

but Christ as a Son over his house, whose house we are, if only we keep in possession our confidence and pride of hope, firm until the end.

For we have become companions of the Christ, if only we keep in possession the primacy of the essence, steadfast until the end,

For we have had the good news as well as they; only, the message they heard was of no use to them, because it did not meet with faith in the hearers.

God's Message is a living and active power, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing its way till it penetrates soul and spirit--not the joints only but the very marrow--and detecting the inmost thoughts and purposes of the mind.

not an high priest who is incapable of compassionating our miseries; since he was exposed to the same trials as we are, sin only excepted. let

and so is obliged to offer sin-offerings, not only for the people but for himself as well.

And no one assumes this honor on his own initiative, but only when called to it by God, as in fact Aaron was.

In the days of His earthly life, Jesus offered up both [specific] petitions and [urgent] supplications [for that which He needed] with fervent crying and tears to the One who was [always] able to save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverent submission toward God [His sinlessness and His unfailing determination to do the Father’s will].

For everyone who uses milk alone is inexperienced in the message of right-doing; he is only an infant.

such solid nourishment is only fit for such as are arriv'd at their full growth and strength, whose senses have been exercis'd in distinguishing what is good, and what is prejudicial.

So then let us once for all quit the elementary teaching about Christ and continue progressing toward maturity; let us stop relaying a foundation of repentance from works that mean only death, and of faith in God,

But if it sends up thorns and evil plants, it is of no use and is ready to be cursed; its only end is to be burned.

and that he was appointed, not under a Law regulating only earthly matters, but by virtue of a life beyond the reach of death;

but He, on the other hand, because He Himself lives on forever, enjoys the only priesthood that has no successors in office.

Further, if he were still on earth, he would not be a priest at all, for there are priests enough provided to offer the gifts the Law prescribes??5 though the service they engage in is only a shadow and imitation of that in heaven. For when Moses was going to make the tent of worship he was warned, "Be sure to make it all just like the pattern you were shown on the mountain."

These priests serve [in a sanctuary] that is [only] a copy and a foreshadow of the heavenly one. Now Moses was warned [by God] when he was about to build the Tabernacle, for God said [Ex. 25:40], "See that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain [i.e., Mount Sinai]."

It is true that even the first Covenant had its regulations for divine worship, and its Sanctuary--though only a material one.

but into the second or inner part nobody but the high priest may go, and he only once a year, and never without blood which he offers for himself and for the sins committed in ignorance by the people.

For that was only a type, to continue down to the present time; and, in keeping with it, both gifts and sacrifices are offered, though incapable of satisfying the conscience of the worshiper;

being only (with meats and drinks and divers washings) carnal ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation.

For a will is valid only after a man is dead, since it has no force whatever while the one who made it is alive.

It was therefore necessary that what was only a type of the heavenly sanctuary, should be purified by such sacrifices; but the heavenly sanctuary itself, by a more excellent sacrifice.

For Christ did not enter into a holy place made with hands, a mere copy of the true one, but [He entered] into heaven itself, now to appear in the very presence of God on our behalf;

For since the law cast only a shadow of the blessings to come and did not possess the reality itself of those blessings, the priests with the same sacrifices that are perpetually offered year after year cannot make perfect those who come to worship.

But those sacrifices were [only] a reminder of [the people's] sins year after year,

expecting the only event still remaining, the entire subjection of his enemies.

but only a terrifying prospect of judgment and that fiery indignation which is going to devour God's enemies.

Anyone who breaks the law of Moses pays the death penalty without any show of pity, on the evidence of two or three witnesses only.

For you not only showed sympathy with those who were imprisoned, but you even submitted with joy when your property was taken from you, being well aware that you have in your own selves a more valuable possession and one which will remain.

only wait but a little while, and he that is to come, will come without delay.

By faith it is clear to us that the order of events was fixed by the word of God, so that what is seen has not been made from things which only seem to be.

These people all died victoriously as a result of their faith, although they did not receive the blessings promised; that is, because they really saw them in the far-off future and welcomed them, and so professed to be only foreigners and strangers here on earth.

By faith Abraham, being tried, offered up Isaac: yea, he that had gladly received the promises was offering up his only begotten'son ;

of whom it was said, "only the descendants of Isaac shall be counted your posterity:"

It was by faith that the walls of Jericho collapsed, after being surrounded for only seven days.

Now if you are without any discipline, in which all true sons share, you are only illegitimate children and not true sons.

For they disciplined us only a short time, as it seemed proper to them, but He does it for our good, in order that we may share His holy character.

For ye have not approached the mountain that could only be groped for, and that burned with fire, and the thick cloud, and the darkness, and the tempest,

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 the words, Still one more, make it clear that there will be a taking away of those things which are shaking, as of things which are made, so that there may be only those things of which no shaking is possible.

Continue to remember those in prison as if you were in prison with them, as well as those who are mistreated, since they also are only mortal.

I beg you, brothers, to listen patiently to this message, for I have written you only a short letter.
