For to whom of the angels said He at any time, "You are My Son; I this day have begotten you?" And again, "I will be to him a Father; and He shall be to me a Son?"

For this reason, it is needful that we give the more earnest heed to the things heard, lest at any time we drift past them.

For This One has been accounted worthy of more glory than Moses, by as much as He Who built the house hath more honor than the house;

and, in this place, again: "They shall not enter into My rest."

Thus Christ also glorified not Himself to become a high priest, but He Who spake to Him, "Thou art My Son, this day have I begotten Thee";
