For such a chief priest also was suitable for us, holy, harmless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens,

BUT the chief thing in addition to what has been said is, that we have such a chief priest who sat on the right hand of the throne of the majesty in the heavens,

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

For those who say such things show that they seek a native country.

but now they seek a better, that is a heavenly [country]. Wherefore God is not ashamed of them to be called their God; for he has prepared for them a city.

For consider him that has endured such a contradiction from sinners, that you may not become faint and weary in your minds.

for we have not here a city that continues, but we seek that which is to come.

And forget not beneficence and liberality; for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
