in these last days hath spoken to us by a Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

For to which of the angels ever said he, "My Son art thou, I have to-day begotten thee?" And again, "I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?"

But to the Son, "Thy throne, O God, is unto eternity; a sceptre of rectitude is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

But one in a certain passage testifieth, saying, "What is man, that thou rememberest him, or a son of man, that thou regardest him?"

but Christ as a son over his own house: whose house are we, if we hold firmly the confidence and glorying of hope stedfast unto the end.

but exhort one another daily, whilst to-day remains, that no one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

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

For we have not an high-priest incapable of a fellow-feeling with our infirmities, but one tempted in all points, in exact resemblance with ourselves, sin excepted.

So Christ also did not himself assume the glory to become high-priest, but he [gave it] who spake to him, "Thou art my Son; I have this day begotten thee."

though he was a son, he learned obedience from the things which he suffered:

and yet have fallen away: for they crucify again to themselves the Son of God, and expose him to public infamy.

without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but in exact resemblance with the Son of God, abideth a priest for ever.

For the law constitutes men high-priests, though they have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which is since the law, constitutes the Son, unto eternity completely perfect.

And almost all things are purified by blood according to the law, and without effusion of blood there is no remission of sin.

(for in that case he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world:) but now once for all at the consummation of the ages hath he been manifested for the abolishing sin by the sacrifice of himself.

so Christ having been once offered in sacrifice to bear the sins of men, will appear the second time without sin, to those who expect him, for their salvation.

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

thou hast had no delight in whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin:

Having said before that sacrifice, and oblation, and whole burnt-offerings and sin-offerings thou hast not chosen, nor takest pleasure in, (which are offered according to the law,)

Now where there is remission of these, no more offering for sin [is needed].

For if we sin wilfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no more sacrifice for sins remaineth;

by how much, think ye, shall he be counted worthy of more condign punishment who hath trampled on the Son of God, and regarded the blood of his testament, by which he was sanctified, as an unclean thing, and hath treated the gracious Spirit contumeliously?

By faith Noah, being divinely warned respecting things not yet seen, filled with reverential awe, prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

By faith Abraham, when tried, offered up Isaac; and he who had received the promise, presented in sacrifice his only begotten son,

By faith Moses, when he became a grown man, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;

choosing rather to suffer afflictions with the people of God, than to have a temporary fruition of sin;

they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they experienced the severest trials, they were slain by the edge of the sword: they went about wrapped in skins of sheep and goats, destitute of all things, pressed down with afflictions, suffering all kind of misery;

THEREFORE also seeing we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, laying aside every weight, and that most easily besetting sin, let us run with patience the race lying before us,

As yet ye have not resisted unto blood, struggling against sin.

And have you forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you, as children, "My son, count not lightly of the Lord's childlike correction, nor faint when under his rebuke:

for whom the Lord loveth he correcteth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth."

If ye patiently endure correction, God carries himself towards you as his children: for who is the son whom the father doth not correct?

but ye are come unto mount Sion, and to the city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels,

For the bodies of those beasts are burnt without the camp, whose blood for a sin offering is brought into the holy of holies by the high-priest.
