But to the Son: Thy throne, God, is from age to age: a scepter of rectitude is the scepter of thy kingdom.

They shall perish; but thou remainest: and they all shall grow old as a garment;

and as a mantle thou shalt fold them up, and they shall be changed; but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.

But to which of the angels has he said at any time: Sit on my right hand, till I make thy enemies thy footstool?

But one in a certain place testified, saying: What is man, that thou art mindful of him; or the son of man, that thou dost visit him?

thou hast put all things under his feet. For, in putting all things under him, he left nothing that is not put under him: but now we do not yet see all things put under him.

But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, that he might, by the grace of God, taste death for every man- we see him, on account of his having suffered death, crowned with glory and honor.

And again: I will put my trust in him. And again: Behold, I, and the children that God has given me.

For, verily, he does not take hold of angels, but he takes hold of the posterity of Abraham.

For every house is builded by some one; but he that built all things is God.

but Christ, as a Son over his own house; whose house we are, if we hold the confidence and the joy of our hope firm to the end.

But exhort one another daily, while it is called To-day, lest any of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

But with whom was he angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?

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

For we have had the good news preached to us, even as they had: but the word preached did not profit them, for it was not mixed with faith in those who heard it.

And there is no creature which is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked, and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give an ac count.

For we have not a high priest that can not sympathize with our infirmities; but he was tempted in all things like ourselves, yet without sin.

And no one takes this honor to himself, but he that is called by God, as Aaron also was called.

So, also, the Christ did not take upon himself the honor of becoming a high priest: but he gave him this honor, who said to him, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee:

But strong food belongs to those who are of mature age, who, by use, have their internal senses exercised to the discerning of both good and evil.

if they fall away; since they again crucify in themselves the Son of God, and put him to an open shame.

But that which produces thorns and thistles is rejected, and is near the curse, the end of which is to be burned.

But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, and of things that tend to salvation, though we thus speak.

But we desire every one of you to show the same diligence, in order to have your hope fully assured to the end:

that you may not become slothful, but imitators of those who, through faith and patience, inherit the promises.

without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life, but being made to resemble the Son of God, remains a priest forever.

but he who does not count his genealogy from them, received tithes from Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.

And in the one instance, men that die receive tithes; but in the other, he receives them who has the testimony that he lives.

And so to speak, even Levi, who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham;

who is made, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an endless life; for he testifies,

(for those priests were made such without an oath, but this one with an oath, by him that said to him, The Lord swore, and will not repent, Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchisedec;)

But this man, because he continues forever, has an unchangeable priest hood.

For the law makes men high priests, who have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was after the law, makes the Son, who is perfected forever.

But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as he is the mediator of a better covenant, which is established with reference to better promises.

But after the second vail, the tabernacle which is called the holy of holies;

which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which were the golden pot that held the manna, and the rod of Aaron that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

But into the second, the high priest alone went, once during the year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:

But Christ, having come a high priest of the good things to come, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, (that is, not of this building,)

entered, not by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, once for all, into the most holy, having obtained eternal redemption.

It was necessary, therefore, that the copies of the things in the heavens should be consecrated by these sacrifices; but that the heavenly things themselves should be consecrated by better sacrifices than these.

For the Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, the copies of the true; but he has entered heaven itself, now to present himself in the presence of God for us.

for then, he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world. But now once in the end of the ages, he has appeared in order to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

Wherefore, when he comes into the world, he says: Sacrifice and offering thou hast not desired, but a body thou hast prepared me;

but after offering one sacrifice for sins, he himself sits continually at the right hand of God,

not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the custom of some; but exhorting one another, and so much the more, as you see the day approaching.

but a certain fearful looking for of judgment, and a fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries.

But remember the former days, in which, after you were enlightened, you endured a great conflict of sufferings;

But the just by faith shall live; and if he draw back, my soul will have no pleasure in him.

But we are not of those who draw back to perdition; but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.

But without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.

All these died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off. and having embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and sojourners in the land.

But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country; wherefore God is not ashamed of them, that he should be called their God: for he has prepared for them a city.

By faith they passed through the Bed Sea as by dry land, which the Egyptians attempting to do, were drowned.

Women received their dead raised to life again: but others were beat to death, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection;

But if you are without chastisement, of which all are par takers, then are you bastards, and not sons.

For they, indeed, for a few days, chastened us as they thought it good; but he chastens us for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.

But no chastisement seems, at the time, to be a matter of joy, but of grief: yet afterward, it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who are exercised by it.

and make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned aside; but rather let it be restored to health.

But you have come to Mount Zion, and the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels;

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

Marriage is honorable among all men, and the bed undefiled; but lewd men and adulterers God will judge.

For here we have no abiding city, but we seek one to come.

But forget not to do good, and to be liberal: for with such, sacrifices God is well pleased.
