who being a brightness from his glory and an image of his being, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself accomplished a cleansing of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

But to which of the angels hath he ever said: "Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?"

Wherefore I was offended with that generation, and said, They always err in their heart, but they knew not my ways;

When it is said, "Today, if ye hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation,"

For we who believed enter into the rest, as he hath said: "So I swore in my wrath, they shall not enter into my rest;" although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

he again appointeth a certain day, "Today"saying in David so long a time after, as hath before been said"Today, if ye hear his voice, harden not your hearts."

and there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight; but all things are naked and laid open to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

Thus Christ did not glorify himself to be made highpriest, but he who said to him, "Thou art my Son, I this day have begotten thee;"

that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us;

for they indeed have been made priests without an oath; but he with an oath by him who said to him, "The Lord swore, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever,"

Now the principal thing among those of which we are speaking is this: We have such a highpriest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;

which had the golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant overlaid on every side with gold, wherein was the golden pot containing the manna, and the rod of Aaron which budded, and the tables of the covenant;

Then said I, Lo, I have comein the volume of the book it is written of meto do thy will, O God."

then hath he said, "Lo, I have come to do thy will." He setteth aside the first, that he may establish the second.

but he, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins, sat down for ever on the right hand of God,

Moreover the Holy Spirit also is a witness to us of this. For after he had said,

He that hath set at nought the law of Moses dieth without mercy under two or three witnesses;

For we know him who said, "Vengeance belongeth to me, I will recompense, saith the Lord;" and again, "The Lord will judge his people."

he to whom it was said, "From Isaac shall thine offspring be reckoned;"

Therefore let us also, being surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth easily beset us, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us;

looking to the author and perfecter of the faith, Jesus, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

so terrible was the sight, Moses said: "I exceedingly fear and tremble;"

Let your disposition be without covetousness, and be content with what ye have; for he hath said, "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee;"

make you perfect in every good work, to do his will, doing in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be the glory for ever. Amen.

Know that the brother Timothy hath been set at liberty, with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.
