thus proving Himself to be as much superior to angels as the title He has inherited is superior to theirs.

And concerning the angels indeed he thus speaks: "Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministering servants a flame of fire."

You have put everything under his feet!" In thus making everything subject to man, God left nothing that was not subjected to him. But we do not as yet see everything made subject to him,

Thus we see it was owing to unbelief that they could not enter.

for He spake in a certain place concerning the seventh day thus: 'And God did rest in the seventh day from all His works;'

Thus if Joshua had given them Rest, God would not speak later about another day.

Thus we must make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by following the same pattern of disobedience.

Thus also Christ did not glorify himself to become high priest, but the one who said to him, "You are my Son, today I have begotten you,"

but though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered: and being thus perfected,

and by being thus made perfect, he became the source of enduring salvation to all who obey him,

But, beloved, we are persuaded concerning you that things are better, and connected with salvation, though we thus speak.

Thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

And thus God, designing more abundantly to demonstrate to the heirs of promise the immutability of his will, pledged himself by oath,

Thus if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood, for on the basis of it the people received the law, what further need [is there] for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek and not said to be according to the order of Aaron?

He who is thus described belonged to another tribe, not one member of which has ever served at the altar.

Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services,

the Holy Ghost thus signifying, that the way into the holies was not yet made manifest, whilst the first tabernacle held its station;

and once for all entered the Holy place, taking with Him not the blood of goats and calves, but His own blood, and thus procuring eternal redemption for us.

Thus, in the case of a will, the death of the testator must be announced.

Thus it was necessary for these earthly copies of the things in heaven to be cleansed by these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves are made clean with better sacrifices than these.

thus also Christ, having been offered once in order to bear the sins of many, will appear for the second time without reference to sin to those who eagerly await him for salvation.

then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will.” [And so] He does away with the first [covenant as a means of atoning for sin based on animal sacrifices] so that He may inaugurate and establish the second [covenant by means of obedience].

Anyone who has ignored and set aside the Law of Moses is put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

How much greater punishment do you think he will deserve who has rejected and trampled under foot the Son of God, and has considered unclean and common the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and has insulted the Spirit of grace [who imparts the unmerited favor and blessing of God]?

both indeed in reproaches and tribulations being exposed as a theater, and having become the companions of those being thus exercised.

For you have need of patient endurance [to bear up under difficult circumstances without compromising], so that when you have carried out the will of God, you may receive and enjoy to the full what is promised.

But we are not among those who shrink back and thus perish, but are among those who have faith and preserve their souls.

It is by faith we understand that the world was fashioned by the word of God, and thus the visible was made out of the invisible.

It was by faith that Abel offered God a richer sacrifice than Cain did, and thus won from God the record of being 'just,' on the score of what he gave; he died, but by his faith he is speaking to us still.

It was by faith that Noah, after being told by God what was still unseen, reverently constructed an ark to save his household; thus he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that follows faith.

and thus there sprang from one man, and him practically dead, a nation like the stars in the heavens in multitude, or grains of sand upon the seashore, innumerable.

Now they who speak thus, shew evidently that they are in earnest search of their native country.

You must submit to [correction for the purpose of] discipline; God is dealing with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?

and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words, which they that heard, intreated that the word might not any more be thus delivered to them:

Marriage is to be held in honor among all [that is, regarded as something of great value], and the marriage bed undefiled [by immorality or by any sexual sin]; for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.

Obey your leaders and submit to them; for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who must give account; that they may do thus with joy and not with lamentation, for this would be unprofitable to you.

Bear with me, brethren, when I thus exhort you; for, in fact, it is but a short letter that I have written to you.
