hath at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, by whom he also made the worlds,

For to which of the angels did he ever say: "Thou art my Son, I this day have begotten thee?" and again: "I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?"

but of the Son: "Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; and the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of righteousness.

But one in a certain place bore testimony, saying, "What is man, that thou art mindful of him, or the son of man, that thou carest for him?

but Christ as a son over his house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and joyousness of our hope.

But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called Today, that none of you may be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

Since, then, we have a great highpriest, who hath passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

For we have not a highpriest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who hath in all points been tempted as we are, without sin.

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;"

though a son yet learned his obedience from what he suffered;

and have fallen away, should again be renewed to repentance, since they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to open shame.

without father, without mother, without record of descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life, but likened to the Son of God, remaineth a priest for ever.

For the Law maketh men highpriests, who have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was after the Law, maketh the Son, who is perfected for ever.

for then must he have suffered many times since the foundation of the world; but now once in the end of the world he hath appeared, to put away sin by means of his sacrifice.

so also Christ having been once offered up to bear the sins of many, will appear the second time, without sin, for the salvation of those who are waiting for him.

in whole burntofferings and sacrifices for sin thou hadst no pleasure.

Saying above, "Sacrifices and offerings, and whole burntofferings and sacrifices for sin thou wouldest not, and hadst no pleasure in them,"such as are offered in conformity to the Law,

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

For if we sin willingly after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remaineth a sacrifice for sins;

of how much heavier punishment, think ye, will he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite to the Spirit of grace?

Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, a conviction of things not seen.

Through faith we perceive that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that that which is seen hath not been made out of things which appear.

By faith Noah, being warned by God of 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.

These all died in faith, not having received the promised blessings, but having seen them from afar, and greeted them, and having professed that they were strangers and sojourners on the earth.

By faith Abraham, when tried, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was offering up his onlybegotten son,

By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called son of Pharaohs daughter,

choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword; they went about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented,

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;

Not yet have ye resisted unto blood, in your contest against sin;

and ye have forgotten the exhortation, which reasoneth with you as with sons: "My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when reproved by him;

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

It is for chastening that ye endure; God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he, whom the father chasteneth not?

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