You made him a little lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and honor, and did set him over the works of your hands:

Therefore (as the Holy Spirit says, Today if you will hear his voice,

But exhort one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

While it is said, Today if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

For some, when they had heard, did provoke: yet not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

For he spoke in a certain place of the seventh day in this way, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.

Again, he limits a certain day, saying in David, Today, after so long a time; as it is said, Today if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

For he that is entered into his rest, he also has ceased from his own works, as God did from his.

So also Christ glorified not himself to be made a high priest; but he that said unto him, You are my Son, today have I begotten you.

How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

For a will is in force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the maker lives.

By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaks.

Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the seashore innumerable.

Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from which also he received him in a figure.

Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.

Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
