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.

Take heed, brethren, that there be not in any one of you a wicked heart of infidelity, [evident] in departure 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, being taken from among men, is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

Nobody takes this honor on himself, but he is called by God, just like Aaron was.

In the same way Christ did not take for himself the glory of being made a high priest, but was given it by him who said, You are my Son, this day I have given you being:

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.

that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before 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].

They indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest's office have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the Law, that is, of their brothers, though these have come out of the body of Abraham,

but he whose genealogy is not counted from them hath taken tithes of Abraham, and hath blessed him that hath the promises.

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 there is a change in the priesthood, a change necessarily takes place in the Law as well.

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 summary of the things spoken is this: we have such an high-priest, who hath taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of Majesty in the heavens;

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 is in force only when somebody has died, since it never takes effect 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 Christ, having at his first coming taken on himself the sins of men, will be seen a second time, without sin, by those who are waiting for him, for their 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.

When he says above, "Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sin-offerings you did not desire nor did you take delight in them" (which are offered according to the law),

then he has said, "Behold, I have come to do your will." He takes away the first, that he may establish the second,

Every priest indeed stands day by day serving and often offering the same sacrifices, 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 showed sympathy with those who were in prison, and you put up with it cheerfully when your property was taken from you, for you knew that you had in yourselves a greater possession that was lasting.

And he whom I accept as righteous will find life through his faith. But if a man draws back, my heart can take 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 away, so that he would not see death, and he was not found, because God took him away. For he has had testimony given to him that before his translation he had been 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.

fixing our eyes upon Jesus, our leader and example in faith, who in place of the happiness that belonged to him, submitted to a cross, caring nothing for its shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.

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 which reasons with you as with children, "My son, do not take lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor lose heart 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 [that] no one falls short of the grace of God; [that] no one growing up [like] a root of bitterness causes trouble, and by it many become defiled;

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

Take care not to refuse to listen to him who is speaking. For if they could not escape because they would not listen to him who warned them here on earth, how much less can we, who reject him who is 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 animals whose blood is taken into the sanctuary by the high priest are burned outside the camp.

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.
