For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just retribution,

how shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation, which at the first was spoken through the Lord, and was confirmed to us through those who heard him,

For it became him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner shared in the same, that through death he might bring to nought him who had the power of death, that is, the Devil,

and might deliver those who, through fear of death, were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called Today, that none of you may be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

Since, then, we have a great highpriest, who hath passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

that ye may not become slothful, but imitators of those who through faith and endurance inherit the promises.

wherefore he is able also to save to the utmost those who come to God through him, since he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

But Christ having appeared, as a highpriest of the good things to come, passing through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of this creation, entered once for all into the sanctuary,

And in this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

a new and living way, which he consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, his flesh,

Through faith we perceive that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that that which is seen hath not been made out of things which appear.

By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he received testimony that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and by it though dead he yet speaketh.

Through faith Sarah herself also received power to conceive, even when she was past age, because she accounted him faithful who had promised.

Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that he who destroyed the firstborn might not touch them.

By faith they passed through the Red Sea as through dry land; which the Egyptians attempted and were swallowed up.

who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promised blessings, stopped the mouths of lions,

And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promised blessing,

Through him therefore let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips giving thanks to his name.

Now may the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of an everlasting covenant, even our Lord Jesus,

make you perfect in every good work, to do his will, doing in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be the glory for ever. Amen.
