For to which of the angels did he ever say: "Thou art my Son, I this day have begotten thee?" and again: "I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?"

For not to angels did he put in subjection the world to come, of which we are speaking.

Wherefore, as the Holy Spirit saith: "Today, if ye hear his voice,

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

When it is said, "Today, if ye hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation,"

And to whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest, except to those who were disobedient?

For to us were glad tidings addressed, as well as to them; but the word which was heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.

Since then it still remaineth for some to enter into it, and they to whom the glad tidings of it were first brought did not enter in because of disobedience,

he again appointeth a certain day, "Today"saying in David so long a time after, as hath before been said"Today, if ye hear his voice, harden not your hearts."

For he that hath entered into his rest, hath himself rested from his works, as God did from his own.

Thus Christ did not glorify himself to be made highpriest, but he who said to him, "Thou art my Son, I this day have begotten thee;"
