And Moses indeed was faithful in all that house of his as a servant, to bear testimony of the things which should be after spoken;

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

LET us fear then lest, though a promise be left of entering into his rest, any one of you should appear to fail of obtaining it.

FOR, every high-priest taken from among men, is constituted on behalf of men for those services which relate to God, that he should offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:

If therefore there was perfection by the Levitical priesthood (for under that the people had the law given to them), what farther need was there that another priest should arise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

and it is yet more abundantly evident, that there should arise another priest after the likeness of Melchisedec,

There was a necessity therefore that the representations of the things in heaven should be purified by these; but the celestial things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

and not that he should often offer up himself in sacrifice, as the high-priest enters every year into the holies with blood not his own,

For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sin.

By faith Abraham, called to go forth unto a place which he should in future obtain as an heritage, obeyed; and he went forth, not knowing whither he was going.

And what more shall I say: for the time would fail me if I should make a narration concerning Gideon, and Barac, and Sampson, and Jephtha, and David, and Samuel, and the prophets:

God having provided for us something better, that without us they should not attain to perfection.
