They, shall perish, but, thou, abidest still, and, all, as a mantle, shall be worn out,

And, as if a robe, wilt thou fold them up, - as a mantle, and they shall be changed; but, thou, art the same, and thy years shall not fail.

Are they not, all, spirits, doing public service, - for ministry, sent forth, for the sake of them who are about to inherit salvation?

For, both he that maketh holy, and they who are being made holy, are, all, of One; For which cause, he is not ashamed to be calling them, brethren,

Wherefore I was sore vexed with this generation, and said, Always err they in their heart; - howbeit, they, learned not my ways:

So I sware in mine anger - they shall not enter into my rest! -

For, who, though they heard, caused embitterment? Nay, indeed! did not all who come forth out of Egypt through Moses?

But, unto whom, sware he, that they should not enter into his rest, - save unto them who were obstinate?

And we see, that they were not able to enter, because of unbelief.

For we have had delivered to us the joyful message, just as even, they; but the word which was heard did not profit them, they not having been blended, by faith, with the things heard.

For we who have believed, are to enter into the rest, according as he hath said - So I sware in mine anger, They shall not enter into my rest; And yet, the works, from the foundation of the world, had been brought into existence,

And in this again - They shall not enter into my rest.

Seeing, therefore, that it is left over for, some, to enter into it, and, they who formerly had delivered to them the joyful message, entered not in by reason of obstinacy, -

And who have fallen away, again, to be remoulding them into repentance; seeing they are again crucifying unto themselves the Son of God, and holding him up as an example.

And, they, indeed, from among the sons of Levi who the priesthood receive, have commandment to take tithes of the people, according to the law, that is, of their brethren, although sprung from the loins of Abraham;

For, they, indeed, apart from oath-taking, have been made priests, but, he, with an oath-taking, through him that was saying unto him - The Lord sware, and will not regret, - Thou, art a priest, age-abidingly

And, they, indeed, in greater numbers, have been made priests, because, by reason of death, are they hindered from remaining at hand;

Not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day when I took them by their hand, to lead them forth out of the land of Egypt, - because, they, abode not in my covenant, and, I, disregarded them, saith the Lord.

Because, this, is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, saith the Lord: - giving my laws into their understanding, upon their hearts also, will I inscribe them: and I will become their God, and, they, shall become my people;

And in nowise shall they teach - every one his fellow-citizen, and every one his brother, saying, - Get to know the Lord! Because, all, shall know me, from the least unto the greatest of them;

For the law, having in a shadow of the destined good things, not the very image of the things, they can never, with the same sacrifices which year by year they offer evermore, make them who approach, perfect;

Else would they not, in that case, have ceased being offered, by reason of those rendering the divine service having no further conscience at all of sins, being once for all purified?

But faith is, of things hoped for, a confidence, of facts, a conviction, when they are not seen;

In faith, all these died - not bearing away the promises, but, from afar, beholding and saluting them, and confessing that, strangers and sojourners, were they upon the land.

For, they who such things as these are saying, make it clear that, of a paternal home they are in quest;

And, if indeed of that they had been mindful, from which they had come out, they might, in that case, have had an opportunity, to return;

But, now, after a better one, are they reaching, that is, a heavenly; wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be invoked as, their God, - for he hath prepared for them, a city.

By faith, Moses, when born - was hid three months by his parents, because, they saw, that, goodly, was, the child, and were not affrighted, at the decree of the king.

By faith, they passed through the Red Sea, as over dry land, - which the Egyptians, seizing an attempt to do, were swallowed up.

Women received, by resurrection, their dead; but, others, were put to the rack, not accepting redemption, that, unto a better resurrection, they might attain:

They were stoned, were pierced through, were sawn asunder, by murder, with a sword, died, went about in sheep-skins, in goat-hides, - being in want, suffering tribulation, enduring ill-treatment:

And, these all, though they obtained witness through their faith, yet bare not away, the promise:

God, for us, something better providing, - that, not apart from us, should they be made, perfect.

For, they, indeed, for a few days, according to that which seemed good to them, were administering discipline; but, he, unto that which is profitable, with view to our partaking of his holiness:

And a trumpets peal, - and a sound of things spoken: - from which they who heard excused themselves, lest there should be added to them, a word;

For they could not bear, that which was being enjoined, - and, should a beast be touching the mountain, it shall be stoned;

Beware, lest ye excuse yourselves from him that speaketh; for, if, they escaped not, who excused themselves from him who on earth was warning, how much less, shall, we, who from him that warneth from the heavens, do turn ourselves away:

But, the saying, Yet once for all, maketh clear the removal of the things which can be shaken, as of things done with, - that they may remain, which cannot be shaken.

With teachings, manifold and strange, be not carried aside; for it is, noble, that, with gratitude, should, the heart, be getting confirmed, - not with matters of food, in which, they who are walking, have not been profited.

We have an altar - to eat out of which, they, have no right, who in the tent are doing divine service;

Be yielding unto them who are guiding you, and submit yourselves; for they are watching over your souls, as having an account to render, that, with joy the same they may be doing, and not with sighing, - for, unprofitable unto you, were, this.

Salute all them who are guiding you, and all the saints: they from Italy, salute you.
