And you will fold them up just like a robe, and they will be changed like the changing of one's coat, but you are the same, and your years will never cease."

Since then the children mentioned share our mortal nature, He too took on Himself a full share of the same, in order that He by His death might put a stop to the power of him who has the power of death, that is, the devil,

So let us fear that when the promise for us to be admitted to His rest is still remaining valid some one of you may be found to have missed it.

Since then it still remains that some are being admitted to it and that those who first had the good news told to them were not admitted because of disobedience,

So let us do our best to be admitted to that rest, so that not one of us may fail through the same sort of disobedience.

And we desire each one of you to continue to show the same earnestness to the very end, that you may enjoy your hope to the fullest,

For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; so this High Priest too must have some sacrifice to offer,

In the same way he sprinkled with blood the tent and all the utensils of the priestly service.

For since the law cast only a shadow of the blessings to come and did not possess the reality itself of those blessings, the priests with the same sacrifices that are perpetually offered year after year cannot make perfect those who come to worship.

Every other priest stands officiating day after day and over and over again offering the same sacrifices, although they are unable to take away our sins.

Let us stop neglecting our meeting together, as some do, but let us continue to encourage one another, and all the more because you see that the great day is drawing near.

Continue to look after one another, that no one fails to gain God's spiritual blessing; or some evil like a bitter root may spring up and trouble you, and many of you be contaminated by it --

some immoral or godless person like Esau, who sold his own birthright for a single meal.

Do not remain neglectful of hospitality to strangers, for by it some have entertained angels without knowing it.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, yes, forever.
