all things Thou didst put in subjection under his feet,' for in the subjecting to him the all things, nothing did He leave to him unsubjected, and now not yet do we see the all things subjected to him,

and him who was made some little less than messengers we see -- Jesus -- because of the suffering of the death, with glory and honour having been crowned, that by the grace of God for every one he might taste of death.

for, doubtless, of messengers it doth not lay hold, but of seed of Abraham it layeth hold,

See, brethren, lest there shall be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in the falling away from the living God,

and we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.

We may fear, then, lest a promise being left of entering into His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short,

And see how great this one is, to whom also a tenth Abraham the patriarch did give out of the best of the spoils,

who unto an example and shadow do serve of the heavenly things, as Moses hath been divinely warned, being about to construct the tabernacle, for 'See (saith He) thou mayest make all things according to the pattern that was shewn to thee in the mount;') --

not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as a custom of certain is, but exhorting, and so much the more as ye see the day coming nigh.

And faith is of things hoped for a confidence, of matters not seen a conviction,

by faith we understand the ages to have been prepared by a saying of God, in regard to the things seen not having come out of things appearing;

By faith Enoch was translated -- not to see death, and was not found, because God did translate him; for before his translation he had been testified to -- that he had pleased God well,

By faith Noah, having been divinely warned concerning the things not yet seen, having feared, did prepare an ark to the salvation of his house, through which he did condemn the world, and of the righteousness according to faith he became heir.

By faith also Sarah herself did receive power to conceive seed, and she bare after the time of life, seeing she did judge Him faithful who did promise;

In faith died all these, not having received the promises, but from afar having seen them, and having been persuaded, and having saluted them, and having confessed that strangers and sojourners they are upon the earth,

for those saying such things make manifest that they seek a country;

of whom it was said -- 'In Isaac shall a seed be called to thee;'

and all chastening for the present, indeed, doth not seem to be of joy, but of sorrow, yet afterward the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those exercised through it -- it doth yield.

peace pursue with all, and the separation, apart from which no one shall see the Lord,

See, may ye not refuse him who is speaking, for if those did not escape who refused him who upon earth was divinely speaking -- much less we who do turn away from him who speaketh from heaven,

for we have not here an abiding city, but the coming one we seek;

Know ye that the brother Timotheus is released, with whom, if he may come more shortly, I will see you.
