how will we escape [the penalty] if we ignore such a great salvation [the gospel, the new covenant]? For it was spoken at first by the Lord, and it was confirmed to us and proved authentic by those who personally heard [Him speak],

for having himself stood the test of sufferings, he is capable of being moved to relieve those who undergo such tryals.

who was faithful to him that constituted him such, as Moses likewise was faithful in all his administration of God's house.

Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you such incredulity as to make you desert the living God.

again, He specifies a certain day—today—speaking through David after such a long time, as previously stated:

Today, if you hear His voice,
do not harden your hearts.

Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter upon that Rest, so that none of us fall through such disbelief as that of which we have had an example.

Since then we [Christians] have [such] a great Head Priest, who has passed through the skies [i.e., ascended to heaven. See Acts 1:9], Jesus, the Son of God, we should remain true to our profession [of faith in Him].

Such a one is capable of dealing tenderly with the ignorant and erring ones, since he himself is subject to weakness,

For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

Such persons are mere babes. But solid food is for adults--that is, for those who through constant practice have their spiritual faculties carefully trained to distinguish good from evil.

But in your case, my dearly loved friends, even though we speak in such a tone, we are sure of better things, yea, things that point to salvation.

who has become such not on the basis of a law of physical requirement, but according to the power of an indestructible life.

(for [Levitical] priests were appointed without [God] taking [such] an oath, but Christ was appointed with an oath by God when He said to Him [Psa. 110:4], "The Lord made a vow and will not change His mind [when He said], 'You are a priest forever')."

For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;

Not such a Covenant as I made with their ancestors on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt. For they did not abide by their Covenant with me, And therefore I disregarded them," says the Lord.

for the disposition of the tabernacle was such, that in the first part named the sanctuary, were placed the candlestick, the table, and the shew-bread;

Such, then, was the arrangement of the Tabernacle. Into the outer part priests are constantly going, in the discharge of their sacred duties;

relating only to meats and drinks, and different washings, and such carnal ordinances as were required till the time of reformation.

Whenever such a Covenant as a will is in question, the death of the testator must of necessity be alleged.

For such a Covenant takes effect only upon death, it does not come into force as long as the testator is alive.

Therefore it was necessary for the [earthly] copies of the heavenly things to be cleansed with these, but the heavenly things themselves required far better sacrifices than these.

for Christ is not entred into a sanctuary made by human art, such as is only representative of the true one, but into heaven itself, to appear from henceforth in the presence of God on our behalf:

For the law being only an allusion to a future dispensation that was more excellent, and not an exact imitation of such a state, cannot by the anniversary sacrifices, which are offered, entirely purify those that present themselves.

After saying the words I have just quoted, "Sacrifices and offerings or whole burnt-offerings and sin-offerings Thou hast not desired or taken pleasure in" --all such being offered in obedience to the Law--

And while every priest stands ministering, day after day, and constantly offering the same sacrifices--though such can never rid us of our sins--

Now where there is such a remission of these, there needs no more offering for sin.

and since we have a great and wonderful Priest [Who rules] over the house of God,

and nothing is to be expected but that dreadful judgment, and fiery indignation, which shall devour all such adversaries.

some of you being expos'd to publick obloquy and persecution: whilst others had their share of affliction in seeing such treatment.

as for us, we are not such as desert to their own destruction; but such as persevere in the faith, to the saving of our souls.

Faith led Noah, when he was warned by God of things no one then saw, in obedience to the warning to build an ark in which to save his family, and by such faith he condemned the world, and came to possess that uprightness which faith produces.

For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.

and thought such contempt as the Christ endured was truer wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking forward to the coming reward.

(The world did not deserve such people). They wandered in deserts and mountains, [living] in caves and [even] holes in the ground.

Therefore, [since] we also have such a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us, putting aside every weight and {the sin that so easily ensnares us}, let us run with patient endurance the race that has been set before us,

We should fix our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and completer of the [or, "our"] faith. [Note: Jesus is here pictured as the one who completely fulfills the life of faith, or who provides us with the ability to live such a life]. [And] because He could look forward to joy, He endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right side of God's throne.

For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

But if you do not receive [such] discipline, like all of us do, then you are illegitimate children and not true children.

let there be no licentious or profane person, such as Esau, "who sold his birth-right, for a single mess."

a sound of such a kind that those who heard it entreated that no more should be added.

If then, we have a kingdom which will never be moved, let us have grace, so that we may give God such worship as is pleasing to him with fear and respect:

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Do not let yourselves be carried away by the various novel forms of teaching. It is better to rely for spiritual strength upon the divine help, than upon regulations regarding food; for those whose lives are guided by such regulations have not found them of service.

For we do not have a lasting city here on earth [i.e., such as Jerusalem] but we are looking for the city to come [i.e., heaven. See 10:11].

But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
