But to the Son He says, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.

They shall perish, but You will remain. And they shall all become old as a garment,

and as a covering You shall fold them up, and they shall be changed. But You are the same, and Your years shall not fail."

But to which of the angels, did He say at any time, "Sit on My right hand until I make Your enemies Your footstool?"

For He has not put in subjection to the angels the world to come, of which we speak.

But one testified in a certain place, saying, "What is man, that You are mindful of him; or the son of man, that You visit him?

You subjected all things under his feet." For in subjecting all things to Him, He did not leave anything not subjected to Him. But now we do not see all things having been subjected to him.

But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor, that He by the grace of God should taste death for all.

And again, "I will put My trust in Him." And again, "Behold Me and the children whom God has given Me."

For truly He did not take the nature of angels, but He took hold of the seed of Abraham.

For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God.

But Christ was faithful as a Son over his own house; whose house we are, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.

But exhort one another daily, while it is called today, lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

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

And to whom did He swear that they should not enter into His rest, but to those who did not believe?

For also we have had the gospel preached, as well as them. But the Word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.

Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight, but all things are naked and opened to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.

For we do not have a high priest who cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities, but was in all points tempted just as we are, yet without sin.

And no man takes this honor to himself, but he who is called of God, as Aaron was.

So also Christ did not glorify Himself to be made a high priest, but He who said to Him, "You are My Son, today I have begotten You."

But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, even those who because of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

and who have fallen away; it is impossible, I say, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify the Son of God afresh to themselves and put Him to an open shame.

But that which bears thorns and briers is rejected and is a curse, whose end is to be burned.)

But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you and things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this way.

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

without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, he remains a priest continually.

But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.

And here men who die receive tithes; but there he receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives.

And if I may say so, Levi, also, who receives tithes, paid tithes in Abraham.

who is made, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an endless life.

For the Law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did, by which we draw near to God.

(for those priests were made without an oath, but this one was made with an oath by Him who said to Him, "The Lord swore and will not repent, You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek,")

but He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood.

For the Law appoints men high priests who have infirmity, but the word of the swearing of an oath, after the Law, has consecrated the Son forever, having been perfected.

But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by so much He is also the Mediator of a better covenant, which was built upon better promises.

"For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My Laws into their mind and write them in their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant overlaid all around with gold, in which was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant.

But once in the year into the second the high priest goes alone, not without blood, which he offered for himself and for the errors of the people)

But when Christ had become a high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building

nor by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own blood He entered once for all into the Holies, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

Therefore it was necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves were purified with better sacrifices than these.

For Christ has not entered into the Holy of Holies made with hands, which are the figures of the true, but into Heaven itself, now to appear 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 world He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.

And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment,

But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again of sins every year.

Therefore when He comes into the world, He says, "Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but You have prepared a body for Me.

But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right of God,

"This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord; I will put My Laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,"

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

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

But call to memory the former days, in which (after you were illuminated) you endured a great fight of afflictions,

Now, "the Just shall live by faith. But if he draws back, My soul shall have no pleasure in him."

But we are not of those withdrawing to destruction, but of those who believe to the preserving of the soul.

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

These all died by way of faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off. And they were persuaded of them and embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

But now they stretch forth to a better fatherland, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.

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

For truly they chastened us for a few days according to their own pleasure, but He for our profit, that we might be partakers of His holiness.

Now chastening for the present does not seem to be joyous, but grievous. Nevertheless 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 out of the way, but let it rather be healed.

But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,

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

Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled, but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

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

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

But I beseech you the rather to do this, so that I may be more quickly restored to you.
