For This One has been accounted worthy of more glory than Moses, by as much as He Who built the house hath more honor than the house;

If, therefore, He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are those offering the gifts according to the law,

but now he hath obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much also as He is Mediator of a better covenant, which, indeed, has been enacted on better promises.

Women received their dead by a resurrection; and others were tortured, not accepting the redemption, that they might obtain a better resurrection.
