at the end of these days has spoken to us in the person of the Son, whom he has established heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

For to which of the angels said he ever, Thou art my Son: this day have I begotten thee? and again, I will be to him for father, and he shall be to me for son?

but as to the Son, Thy throne, O God, is to the age of the age, and a sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

but one has testified somewhere, saying, What is man, that thou rememberest him, or son of man that thou visitest him?

but Christ, as Son over his house, whose house are we, if indeed we hold fast the boldness and the boast of hope firm to the end.

But encourage yourselves each day, as long as it is called To-day, that none of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

Having therefore a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast the confession.

For we have not a high priest not able to sympathise with our infirmities, but tempted in all things in like manner, sin apart.

Thus the Christ also has not glorified himself to be made a high priest; but he who had said to him, Thou art my Son, I have to-day begotten thee.

though he were Son, he learned obedience from the things which he suffered;

and have fallen away, crucifying for themselves as they do the Son of God, and making a show of him.

without father, without mother, without genealogy; having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but assimilated to the Son of God, abides a priest continually.

For the law constitutes men high priests, having infirmity; but the word of the swearing of the oath which is after the law, a Son perfected for ever.

since he had then been obliged often to suffer from the foundation of the world. But now once in the consummation of the ages he has been manifested for the putting away of sin by his sacrifice.

thus the Christ also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, shall appear to those that look for him the second time without sin for salvation.

Thou tookest no pleasure in burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin.

Above, saying Sacrifices and offerings and burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin thou willedst not, neither tookest pleasure in (which are offered according to the law);

But where there is remission of these, there is no longer a sacrifice for sin.

For where we sin wilfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains any sacrifice for sins,

of how much worse punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and esteemed the blood of the covenant, whereby he has been sanctified, common, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

Now faith is the substantiating of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

By faith we apprehend that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that that which is seen should not take its origin from things which appear.

By faith, Noah, oracularly warned concerning things not yet seen, moved with fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his house; by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

All these died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them from afar off and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and sojourners on the earth.

By faith Abraham, when tried, offered up Isaac, and he who had received to himself the promises offered up his only begotten son,

By faith Moses, when he had become great, refused to be called son of Pharaoh's daughter;

choosing rather to suffer affliction along with the people of God than to have the temporary pleasure of sin;

They were stoned, were sawn asunder, were tempted, died by the death of the sword; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins, destitute, afflicted, evil treated,

Let us also therefore, having so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, laying aside every weight, and sin which so easily entangles us, run with endurance the race that lies before us,

Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, wrestling against sin.

And ye have quite forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when reproved by him;

for whom the Lord loves he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives.

Ye endure for chastening, God conducts himself towards you as towards sons; for who is the son that the father chastens not?

but ye have come to mount Zion; and to the city of the living God, heavenly Jerusalem; and to myriads of angels,

for of those beasts whose blood is carried as sacrifices for sin into the holy of holies by the high priest, of these the bodies are burned outside the camp.

Know that our brother Timotheus is set at liberty; with whom, if he should come soon, I will see you.
