You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness. So God, your God, has anointed you over your companions with the oil of rejoicing."

For it was not to angels that He gave authority over that world to be, of which we are speaking.

You made Him inferior to angels for a little while, yet you have crowned Him with glory and honor, you have set Him over the works of your hands,

You have put all things under His feet!" Now when He gave Him authority over everything, He did not leave a single thing that was not put under His authority. But as yet we do not see everything actually under His authority,

Forasmuch, then, as the children were partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part with them, for to put down through death him that had lordship over death: that is to say, the devil.

Besides, while Moses was faithful in every department of God's house as an attendant ??by way of witness to the coming revelation ??6 Christ is faithful as a Son over God's house. Now we are this house of God, if we will only keep confident and proud of our hope.

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 do enter the Rest by our faith: according to his word, As I swore in my anger, they shall never enter my Rest ??although his works were all over by the foundation of the world.

Seeing, therefore, that it is left over for, some, to enter into it, and, they who formerly had delivered to them the joyful message, entered not in by reason of obstinacy, -

Hence there is, left over, a Sabbath-keeping, for the people of God.

For every high priest, being received from men, presides over men in the things appertaining to God, in order that he may offer gifts and sacrifices for sins:

For although you ought to be teachers of others because you have been Christians so long, you actually need someone to teach you over and over again the very elements of the truths that God has given us, and you have gotten into such a state that you are in constant need of milk instead of solid food.

Therefore, let us leave behind the elementary teaching about the Christ and press on to perfection, not always laying over again a foundation of repentance for a lifeless formality, of faith in God--

And we will do so [i.e., go on to more advanced teaching] if God allows us to. For it is impossible to get people who have [completely] fallen away [from God] to repent again, because they [continue to] crucify for themselves God's Son all over again, and hold Him up to contempt.

and then have committed apostasy, to renew them again to repentance, since they are crucifying the Son of God for themselves all over again and holding him up to contempt.

saying: "I will certainly bless you over and over again, I will extensively increase your numbers."

Now at the present time, men over whom death has power take the tenth; but then it was taken by one of whom it is witnessed that he is living.

but this person, because he abideth for ever, hath a priesthood that passeth not over to another.

Who hath no daily necessity, like the high-priests, beforehand, over his own sins, to be offering sacrifices, after that, over those, of the people, - for, this, he did once for all when, himself, he offered up.

For I will be merciful over their unrighteousness, and on their sins and on their iniquities."

In it was the golden altar of incense, and also the Ark of the Covenant covered all over with gold, in which was a golden pot holding the manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

And over it were the winged ones of glory with their wings covering the mercy-seat; about which it is not possible now to say anything in detail.

For they [the gifts, sacrifices, and ceremonies] deal only with [clean and unclean] food and drink and various ritual washings, [mere] external regulations for the body imposed [to help the worshipers] until the time of reformation [that is, the time of the new order when Christ will establish the reality of what these things foreshadow—a better covenant].

For, a covenant over dead persons, is firm, - since it is not then of force when he is living that hath covenanted.

And also the tent, and all the vessels of the service, he poured all over likewise with blood.

And He does not enter to offer Himself over and over again, as the high priest enters the sanctuary year after year with blood that is not his own;

for, if that had been the case, He would have had to suffer over and over again, ever since the creation of the world. But, as it is, once at the close of the ages He has appeared, to put away sin by His sacrifice.

Every other priest stands officiating day after day and over and over again offering the same sacrifices, although they are unable to take away our sins.

and having a great priest over the house of God;

and let us consider [thoughtfully] how we may encourage one another to love and to do good deeds,

For, if, by choice, we be sinning, after the receiving of the full-knowledge of the truth, no longer, for sins, is there left over, a sacrifice,

By faith Jacob, as he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and bowed in worship, leaning on the top of his staff.

By faith the people crossed over the Red Sea as on dry land; and when the Egyptians tried to do this they were swallowed up.

Who, through faith - prevailed in contest over kingdoms, wrought righteousness, attained unto promises, shut the mouths of lions,

(people of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts and mountains and [living in] caves and holes in the ground.

looking to the author and perfecter of faith -- Jesus, who, over-against the joy set before him -- did endure a cross, shame having despised, on the right hand also of the throne of God did sit down;

For reckon over him having endured such contradiction of the sinful against himself, lest being harassed, ye labor in your souls.

looking diligently over lest any one be failing of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up may give trouble, and through this many may be defiled;

For you recall how, even after he [later] wanted to inherit the blessing, Esau was rejected [by his father Isaac. See Gen. 37:35-40]. For he was not able to get his father to change his mind, even though he tearfully begged him [or, "he was not able to change the situation, even though he shed tears over his loss"].

Remember them that had the rule over you, men that spake unto you the word of God; and considering the issue of their life, imitate their faith.

Do not be turned away by different strange teachings, because it is good for your hearts to be made strong by grace, and not by meats, which were of no profit to those who took so much trouble over them.

Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit to them : for they watch in behalf of your souls, as they that shall give account; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief: for this were unprofitable for you.

Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.
