At these last days spake to us in the Son, whom he set heir of all things, by whom also he made the times;

For to which of the angels once said he, Thou art my Son, I have this day begotten thee? And again, I will be to him for Father, and he shall be to me for Son?

And to the Son, Thy throne, O God, for the time of time: a rod of uprightness the rod of thy kingdom.

And somewhere a certain one testified, saying, What is man, that thou rememberest him? or the son of man, that thou reviewest him?

Wherefore in all things it was necessary to be made like to the brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful chief priest in things towards God, in order to propitiate for the sin of the people.

And Christ as a son over his house: whose house are we, if we should hold freedom of speech and the boast of hope firm to the end.

But beseech one another according to each day, as far as the day is called; lest any of you be hardened by deceit of sin.

Having therefore a great chief priest, passed to the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, we should hold firmly the assent.

For we have not a chief priest unable to suffer with our weaknesses; but tried in all things as a resemblance, without sin.

So also Christ honoured not himself, to become chief priest; but he having spoken to him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.

Although being a Son, he learned obedience from what he suffered;

And having fallen, again to renew to repentance; crucifying to themselves the Son of God, and exposing to ignominy.

Without father, without mother, of unknown origin, neither having beginning of days, nor end of life; and likened to the Son of God;) remains a priest perpetually.

For the law establishes men chief priests having weakness; but the word of the sacrifice sanctioned by solemn oath, after the law, the Son, having been perfected forever.

(Since he must have suffered many times from the foundation of the world:) but now once at the termination of the times for the annulling of sin by the sacrifice of himself has he been shown clearly.

So Christ, once offered to have borne the sins of many, of the second time, without sin, shall be seen to them expecting him for salvation.

And with whole burnt offering for sin wast thou not contented.

Farther back, saying, That sacrifice and bringing in and whole burnt offerings and for sin thou wouldest not, neither wert contented with; which are brought in according to law;

And where remission of these, no more bringing in for sin.

Of how much worse punishment, think ye, shall he be deemed worthy. having trodden down the Son of God, and deemed the blood of the covenant common, in which he was consecrated, and having outraged the Spirit of grace?

And faith is the foundation of things hoped for, the proof of things not seen.

By faith we perceive that the times were adjusted by the word of God, so that things seen have been born not of things brought to light.

By faith Noah, having an intimation of the divine will of things not yet seen, being circumspect, prepared an ark for the salvation of his house; by which he condemned the world, and by faith became an heir of justice.

According to faith died all these, not having received the promises, but having seen them from afar, and been persuaded, and having embraced, and assented that they are strangers and newly arrived from a foreign country upon earth.

By faith Moses, having become great, refused to be reckoned the son of Pharaoh's daughter;

Having chosen rather to be treated ill with the people of God, than to have the enjoyment of sin for a time;

Wherefore we also having such a cloud of witnesses lying round about us, having laid down every weight, and sin easily captivating, by patience we should run the race set before us,

Ye have not yet resisted until blood, fighting against sin.

And ye have totally forgotten the entreaty which is spoken to you as to sons, My son, neglect not the instruction of the Lord, nor be enervated being rebuked by him:

For whom the Lord loves he corrects, and he chastises every son which he receives.

If ye endure correction, God treats you as sons; for who is the son which the father corrects not?

But ye have come to mount Sion, and to the city of the living God, heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels,

for of whom the blood of the living ones is brought for sin into the holies by the chief priest, the bodies of these are burned without the camp.
