Now since the children have flesh and blood in common, Jesus also shared in these, so that through His death He might destroy the one holding the power of death—that is, the Devil—

For since He Himself was tested and has suffered, He is able to help those who are tested.

For we also have received the good news just as they did; but the message they heard did not benefit them, since they were not united with those who heard it in faith

(for we who have believed enter the rest), in keeping with what He has said:

So I swore in My anger,
they will not enter My rest.

And yet His works have been finished since the foundation of the world,

Since it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news did not enter because of disobedience,

Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens—Jesus the Son of God—let us hold fast to the confession.

He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray, since he is also subject to weakness.

We have a great deal to say about this, and it’s difficult to explain, since you have become too lazy to understand.

For when God made a promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater to swear by, He swore by Himself:

Now many have become Levitical priests, since they are prevented by death from remaining in office.

Therefore, He is always able to save those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to intercede for them.

Now if He were on earth, He wouldn’t be a priest, since there are those offering the gifts prescribed by the law.

For a will is valid only when people die, since it is never in force while the one who made it is living.

Otherwise, He would have had to suffer many times since the foundation of the world. But now He has appeared one time, at the end of the ages, for the removal of sin by the sacrifice of Himself.

Since the law has only a shadow of the good things to come, and not the actual form of those realities, it can never perfect the worshipers by the same sacrifices they continually offer year after year.

Otherwise, wouldn’t they have stopped being offered, since the worshipers, once purified, would no longer have any consciousness of sins?

Therefore, brothers, since we have boldness to enter the sanctuary through the blood of Jesus,

and since we have a great high priest over the house of God,

By faith even Sarah herself, when she was unable to have children, received power to conceive offspring, even though she was past the age, since she considered that the One who had promised was faithful.

For he considered the reproach because of the Messiah to be greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, since his attention was on the reward.

since God had provided something better for us, so that they would not be made perfect without us.

Therefore, since we also have such a large cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily ensnares us. Let us run with endurance the race that lies before us,

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us hold on to grace. By it, we may serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe,

Don’t be led astray by various kinds of strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to be established by grace and not by foods, since those involved in them have not benefited.
