For he did not put the world to come, about which we are speaking, under the control of angels.

For he has come to deserve greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house deserves greater honor than the house itself!

For which ones heard and rebelled? Was it not all who came out of Egypt under Moses' leadership?

Therefore we must be wary that, while the promise of entering his rest remains open, none of you may seem to have come short of it.

For when the priesthood changes, a change in the law must come as well.

So he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.

For the law appoints as high priests men subject to weakness, but the word of solemn affirmation that came after the law appoints a son made perfect forever.

But now Christ has come as the high priest of the good things to come. He passed through the greater and more perfect tent not made with hands, that is, not of this creation,

For the law possesses a shadow of the good things to come but not the reality itself, and is therefore completely unable, by the same sacrifices offered continually, year after year, to perfect those who come to worship.

So when he came into the world, he said, "Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me.

"Then I said, 'Here I am: I have come -- it is written of me in the scroll of the book -- to do your will, O God.'"

then he says, "Here I am: I have come to do your will." He does away with the first to establish the second.

At times you were publicly exposed to abuse and afflictions, and at other times you came to share with others who were treated in that way.

For you have not come to something that can be touched, to a burning fire and darkness and gloom and a whirlwind

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

For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come.
