He being an emanation of God's glory and stamp of his substance, and upholding the universe by the utterances of his power, after by himself making purification of our sins, has taken his seat on the right hand of the Majesty on High.

But of which of the angels has he said at any time, Take your seat at my right hand till I put all those who are against you under your feet?

are not all those spirits dispatch'd as ministers to take care of those who shall belong to the christian church.

Because of this it behoveth us more abundantly to take heed to the things heard, lest we may glide aside,

how will we escape, having neglected so great a salvation? Which first, having taken to be spoken by the Lord, was verified for us by those who heard;

But a certain writer has given his witness, saying, What is man, that you keep him in mind? what is the son of man, that you take him into account?

Seeing, then, the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he himself also in like manner did take part of the same, that through death he might destroy him having the power of death -- that is, the devil --

For, truly, he does not take on the life of angels, but that of the seed of Abraham.

Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, partners in a heavenly calling, take note of Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess,

But Christ is faithful as a son over God's house. We are of his house, if in fact we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope we take pride in.

My brothers, take care that there is not by chance in any one of you an evil heart without belief, turning away from the living God:

To whom did He take oath that they should not be admitted to His rest, if it was not to those who disobeyed Him?

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

Let us therefore come near with boldness to the throne of grace, so that we may take mercy, and may find grace for timely help.

For every high priest taken from men is appointed for men in things toward God, so that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

And not any man takes the honor to himself, but being called by God, just as also Aaron.

So Christ too did not take upon Himself the glory of being appointed High Priest, but it was God who said: "You are my Son; I have today become your Father,"

For everyone who takes milk is without experience of the word of righteousness: he is a child.

With God's permission, we will take this step.

Though I say this, beloved, I feel sure you will take the better course that means salvation.

So that you may not be slow in heart, but may take as your example those to whom God has given their heritage, because of their faith and their long waiting.

For when God made His promise to Abraham, He took an oath by Himself, since He had no one greater by whom He could take it,

For it is a custom among men to take oath by something greater than themselves, and an oath taken for confirmation settles any dispute among them.

so that by these two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to prove false, we who have taken refuge with Him may have encouragement strong enough to make us seize upon the hope that lies ahead of us.

Abraham measured out one tenth of everything he had [taken in battle] and gave it to Melchizedek. (Now "Melchizedek" means, first of all, "King of Righteousness," and then [since he was] King of Salem, it also means "King of Peace").

Now consider how great this man was, to whom the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of what he had taken [in battle].

Now those of the sons of Levi who are appointed to the priesthood, are authorized by the Law to take tithes of the people, that is, of their brothers, and that too, although these are descended from Abraham.

But, he who deriveth not his pedigree from among them, hath taken tithes of Abraham. And, the holder of the promises, hath he blessed.

Now at the present time, men over whom death has power take the tenth; but then it was taken by one of whom it is witnessed that he is living.

And we may say that in Abraham, even Levi, who has a right to take the tenth part, gave it;

For when a change in the priesthood takes place, a change in its law necessarily takes place.

For, he as to whom these things are said, with a different tribe, hath taken partnership, from which, no one, hath given attendance at the altar;

Indeed, the rescinding of a previous regulation takes place, because it was weak and ineffective --

And since it was not without an oath being taken--

(For those were made priests without an oath, but this one was made a priest with an oath by him who says of him, The Lord gave his oath, which he will not take back, that you are a priest for ever);

Now the main point in what I am saying is this: We have such a High Priest as this, one who has taken His seat at the right hand of God's majestic throne in heaven

Now every high priest is given authority to take to God the things which are given and to make offerings; so that it is necessary for this man, like them, to have something for an offering.

which priests serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things: even as the answer of God was given unto Moses when he was about to finish the tabernacle: "For take heed," said he, "that thou make all things according to the pattern showed to thee in the mount."

But when Christ came as the High Priest of good things that have already taken place, He went by way of that greater and more perfect tent of worship, not made by human hands, that is, not belonging to this material creation,

And for this cause he is the mediator of a new covenant, that a death having taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, they that have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

for a will and testament takes effect [only] at death, since it is never in force as long as the one who made it is alive.

for every command having been spoken, according to law, by Moses, to all the people, having taken the blood of the calves and goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, he both the book itself and all the people did sprinkle,

For Christ did not go into a holy place which had been made by men's hands as the copy of the true one; but he went into heaven itself, and now takes his place before the face of God for us.

so also the Christ, having been offered once in order to take up the sins of many, will appear a second time, independent of sin, to those waiting for him for salvation.

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

In whole burnt offerings and sin offerings Thou hast taken no pleasure.

After saying [in the citation] above, “You have neither desired, nor have You taken delight in sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin” (which are offered according to the Law)

Then he said, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He takes away the first, so that he may establish the second.

And every priest indeed standeth day by day ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, the which can never take away sins:

But Christ has offered for all time one sacrifice for sin, and has taken his seat at God's right hand,

Now where forgiveness of sins has taken place, there is no longer [a need for an] offering for sin.

And let us take thought of how to spur one another on to love and good works,

But will not the man by whom the Son of God has been crushed under foot, and the blood of the agreement with which he was washed clean has been taken as an unholy thing, and who has had no respect for the Spirit of grace, be judged bad enough for a very much worse punishment?

For you did sympathize with the prisoners, and you did take joyfully the confiscation of your goods; conscious that you had for yourselves greater, even lasting possessions.

But it is by faith that my Righteous One will live, And if he draws back, my soul takes no pleasure in him.

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 Enoch was taken up to heaven so that he did not see death; he was seen no longer, for God took him away: for before he was taken, witness had been given that he was well-pleasing to God:

By faith Abraham, when called, obeyed to go out to the place that he was going to take for an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.

All these died in faith, not having taken the promises, but who saw and greeted them from afar, and who confessed that they were foreigners and sojourners on the earth.

Of whom it had been said, From Isaac will your seed take their name:

By [having] faith, when Joseph was about to die, he mentioned the Israelites' departure [from Egypt] and gave [them] instructions concerning his bones [i.e., that they were to take them back to Palestine. See Gen. 50:25].

By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land, of which the Egyptians, having taken an attempt, were drowned.

By faith Rahab, the loose woman, was not put to death with those who had gone against God's orders, because she had taken into her house in peace those sent to see the land.

Having our eyes fixed on Jesus, the guide and end of our faith, who went through the pains of the cross, not caring for the shame, because of the joy which was before him, and who has now taken his place at the right hand of God's seat of power.

For take ye into consideration - him who hath endured, such contradiction, by sinners against themselves, lest ye be wearied, in your souls becoming exhausted.

And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons:

My son, do not take the Lord’s discipline lightly
or faint when you are reproved by Him,

For the Lord sends punishment on his loved ones; everyone whom he takes as his son has experience of his rod.

take care not to deprive yourselves of the divine favour: and that no poisonous root spring up, and spread a general infection among you.

Take care lest there be any fornicator or scorner like Esau among you, who for one meal sold his birthright.

Take care that you be not deaf to him that speaketh: for if they did not escape, who disregarded the oracles pronounc'd on earth, much less shall we escape, if we turn away from him that delivered the oracles from heaven:

Take care to keep open house: because in this way some have had angels as their guests, without being conscious of it.

So we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently say,

“The Lord is my Helper [in time of need], I will not be afraid.
What will man do to me?”

We have an altar from which those priests who are servants in the Tent may not take food.

For the bodies of the beasts whose blood is taken into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin are burned outside the circle of the tents.

But, brothers, take kindly the words which I have said for your profit; for I have not sent you a long letter.

Take notice that our brother Timothy has been released, with whom, if he comes soon, I will see you.
