For unto which of the messengers said he at any time - My Son, art, thou, I, this day have begotten thee? and again - I, will become, his father, and, he, shall become my Son?

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated lawlessness, - For this cause, hath God, thy God, anointed thee with the oil of exultation, beyond thy partners;

Are they not, all, spirits, doing public service, - for ministry, sent forth, for the sake of them who are about to inherit salvation?

For this cause, it behoveth us, with unwonted firmness, to be holding fast unto the things that have been heard, lest, at any time, we drift away.

For, if the word through messengers spoken became firm, and, every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense,

For, not unto messengers, hath he subjected the coming habitable earth of which we are speaking;

All things, hast thou subjected beneath his feet. For, in subjecting, to himthe all things, nothing, left he, to him unsubjected; But now, not yet, do we see, to him, the all things subjected; -

For it was becoming in him - For the sake of whom are the all things, and by means of whom are the all things, - when, many sons, unto glory, he would lead, The Princely Leader of their salvation, through sufferings, to make perfect.

For, both he that maketh holy, and they who are being made holy, are, all, of One; For which cause, he is not ashamed to be calling them, brethren,

And might release these - as many as, by fear of death, were all their lifetime liable, to bondage.

For, not surely of messengers, is he laying hold, but, of Abraham's seed, he is laying hold.

Whence he was obliged, in every way, unto the brethren, to be made like, that he might become a merciful and faithful high-priest, in the things pertaining unto God, - for the making of propitiation for the sins of the people.

For, in that, he, suffered when tested, he is able, unto them who are being tested, to give succour.

For, of more glory than Moses, hath, this one been counted worthy - by as much as more honour than, the house, hath, he that prepared it;

For, every house, is prepared by someone, - but, he that hath prepared all things, is, God.

Even Moses, indeed, was faithful in all his house, as an attendant, for a witness of the things which were to be spoken;

For, partners of the Christ, have we become, - if, at least, the beginning of the confidence, throughout, firm, we hold fast:

For, who, though they heard, caused embitterment? Nay, indeed! did not all who come forth out of Egypt through Moses?

Let us therefore fear, lest at any time, although there is left behind a promise of entering into his rest, - any one from amongst you should be deemed, to have come short;

For we have had delivered to us the joyful message, just as even, they; but the word which was heard did not profit them, they not having been blended, by faith, with the things heard.

For we who have believed, are to enter into the rest, according as he hath said - So I sware in mine anger, They shall not enter into my rest; And yet, the works, from the foundation of the world, had been brought into existence,

For he hath spoken, somewhere, concerning the seventh day , thus - And God rested, on the seventh day, from all his works;

Seeing, therefore, that it is left over for, some, to enter into it, and, they who formerly had delivered to them the joyful message, entered not in by reason of obstinacy, -

For, if, unto them, Joshua had given rest, it had not in that case, concerning another day, been speaking, after, these things.

Hence there is, left over, a Sabbath-keeping, for the people of God.

For, he that hath entered into his rest, He too, hath rested from his works, just as, from his own, God, rested .

For, living, is the word of God, and, energetic, and more cutting than any knife with two edges, and penetrating as far as a dividing asunder of soul and spirit, of joints also, and marrow, and able to judge the impulses and designs of the heart;

For we have not a high-priest unable to have fellow-feeling with our weaknesses, but one tested in all respects, by way of likeness, apart from sin.

Let us, then, be approaching with freedom of speech, unto the throne of favour, that we may receive mercy, and, favour, may find, for seasonable succour.

For, every high-priest who from among men is taken, on behalf of men, is appointed, as to the things pertaining unto God, that he may be offering bothgifts and sacrifices for sins, -

Able, to have a measure of feeling, for the ignorant and erring, - since, he also, is compassed with weakness;

And, for this cause, is he obliged - as for the people, so also, for himself, - to be offering for sins;

For, even when ye ought to be teachers, by reason of the time, again, have ye, need, that one be teaching, you, what are the first principles of the oracles of God, and have become such as have, need, of milk, not, of strong food;

For, every one partaking of milk, is unskilled in discourse of righteousness, for he is, a babe;

But, to such as are mature, pertaineth, the strong food, to them who, by reason of habit, have their organs of perception well trained for discriminating both good and evil.

For it is impossible - as to these who have been, once for all, illuminated, who have tasted also of the heavenly free-gift, and have been made, partners, in a Holy Spirit,

For, land, which hath drunk in, the rain, thereupon ofttimes coming, and which bringeth forth vegetation fit for them for whom it is even cultivated, partaketh of a blessing from God;

But, should it be bringing forth thorns and briars, it is disapproved, and, unto cursing, nigh, - whose end is for burning.

For, not unrighteous, is God, to be forgetful of your work and of the love which ye have shewn forth for his name, in that ye have ministered unto the saints, and are ministering,

For, when to Abraham God made promise, seeing he had no one greater by whom to swear, He sware, by himself, -

For, men, by the greater one, swear, and, with them, an end of all gainsaying by way of confirmation is, the oath:

In order that, through means of two unchangeable things, in which it was impossible for God to make himself false, a mighty consolation, we might have, who have fled along to grasp, the fore-lying hope,

For, this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him, -

For, even then, was he, in the loins of his father, when, Melchizedek, met him.

If indeed, therefore, there had been, a perfecting through means of the Levitical priesthood, - for, the people, thereon, have had based a code of laws, what further need, according to the rank of Melchizedek, for a different priest to be raised up, and, not according to the rank of Aaron, to be designated?

For, seeing there is to be a change of the priesthood, of necessity, of law too, a change cometh.

For, he as to whom these things are said, with a different tribe, hath taken partnership, from which, no one, hath given attendance at the altar;

For it is, very evident, that out of Judah hath sprung our Lord, - respecting which tribe, concerning priests, nothing did Moses speak,

For it is witnessed - Thou, art a priest, age-abidingly, according to the rank of Melchizedek.

For, a setting aside, doth, indeed, take place, of a foregoing commandment, by reason of its own weakness and unprofitableness, -

For, the law, perfected, nothing; but there is the superinducing of a better hope, - through which we draw near unto God.

For, they, indeed, apart from oath-taking, have been made priests, but, he, with an oath-taking, through him that was saying unto him - The Lord sware, and will not regret, - Thou, art a priest, age-abidingly

For, such a high-priest as this, for us, was evensuited: Loving, noble, undefiled, set apart from sinners, and become, higher than the heavens;

Who hath no daily necessity, like the high-priests, beforehand, over his own sins, to be offering sacrifices, after that, over those, of the people, - for, this, he did once for all when, himself, he offered up.

For, the law, constituteth, men, high-priests, having, weakness; but, the word of the oath-taking, which cometh after the law, A Son, age-abidingly, made perfect.

For, every high-priest, for the offering of both gifts and sacrifices, is constituted; whence it was necessary for, this one also, to have something which he might offer.

Who, indeed, are rendering divine service, with a glimpse and shadow, of the heavenly things; even as Moses hath received intimation, when about to complete the tent, - For see! saith he - Thou shalt make all things according to the model which hath been pointed out to thee in the mount.

For, if, that first, had been, faultless, not, in that case, for a second, had there been sought, a place.

For, finding fault with them, he saith - Lo! days are coming, saith the Lord, when I will conclude, for the house of Israel and the house of Judah, a covenant of a new sort:

For a tent was prepared, the first, in which were both the lampstand and the table and the setting forth of the loaves, - the which is called the Holy place;

But, into the second, once for all in the year, only the high-priest, not without blood, which he offered for himself and the ignorances of the people:

The which is a similitude for the present season, according to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, which cannot, as to the conscience, perfect him that rendereth the divine service: -

Nor yet through blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood he entered once for all into the Holy place, age-abiding redemption discovering.

For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the profaned, halloweth unto the purity of the flesh,

And, for this cause, of a new covenant, is he mediator, - to the end that, death coming to pass for the redemption of the transgressions against the first covenant, the called might receive the promise of the age-abiding inheritance;

For, where a covenant is, it is necessary for, the death, to be brought in, of him that hath covenanted;

For, a covenant over dead persons, is firm, - since it is not then of force when he is living that hath covenanted.

For, when every commandment according to the law had been spoken by Moses unto all the people, taking the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, both, the scroll itself, and all the people, he sprinkled;

It was indeed therefore necessary for the glimpses of the things in the heavens with these to be purified; but, the heavenly things themselves, with better sacrifices than these.

For, not into a Holy place made by hand, entered Christ, - counterpart of the real Holy place ; but, into the heaven itself, now, to be plainly manifested before the face of God in our behalf; -

Else had it been needful for him, ofttimes, to suffer, from the foundation of the world; but, now, once for all, upon a conjunction of the ages, for a setting aside of sin through means of his sacrifice, hath he been made manifest;

And, inasmuch as it is in store for men - once for all to die, but after this, judgment,

Thus, the Christ also, once for all having been offered, for the bearing of the sins, of many, a second time, apart from sin, will appear, to them who for him are ardently waiting - unto salvation.

For the law, having in a shadow of the destined good things, not the very image of the things, they can never, with the same sacrifices which year by year they offer evermore, make them who approach, perfect;

Else would they not, in that case, have ceased being offered, by reason of those rendering the divine service having no further conscience at all of sins, being once for all purified?

For it is impossible for blood of bulls and goats to be taking away sins.

Wherefore, coming into the world, he saith: Sacrifice and offering, thou willedst not, but, a body, hast thou fitted for me, -

In whole-burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sins, thou didst not delight:

Higher up, saying - Sacrifices, and offerings, and whole-burnt-offerings, and sacrifices for sins, thou willedst not, neither delightedst in, - the which, according to the law, are offered,

By which will, we have been made holy, through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all.

But this priest, having offered one sacrifice for sins evermore, sat down on the right hand of God:

As for the rest, waiting - until his foes be made his footstool;

For, by one offering, hath he perfected for evermore, them who are being made holy.

But even the Holy Spirit beareth us witness; for, after having said -

But, wherever a remission of these is, there is, no further, offering, for sins.

Having therefore, brethren, freedom of speech for the entrance through the Holy place, by the blood of Jesus,

Which entrance he hath consecrated for us, as a way recent and living, through the veil, that is, his flesh, -

Let us hold fast the confession of the hope without wavering, - for, faithful, is he that hath promised;

For, if, by choice, we be sinning, after the receiving of the full-knowledge of the truth, no longer, for sins, is there left over, a sacrifice,

For we know him that hath said - To me, belongeth avenging, I, will recompense; and again - The Lord will judge his people.

For, even with them who were in bonds, ye sympathised, and, unto the seizure of your goods, with joy, ye bade welcome, - knowing that ye have yourselves, for a better possession and an abiding.

For, of endurance, ye have need, in order that, the will of God having done, Ye may bear away, the promise.

For, yet a little while, how short! how short! The Coming One will be here, and will not tarry;

But faith is, of things hoped for, a confidence, of facts, a conviction, when they are not seen;

For, thereby, well-attested were the ancients.

By faith, Enoch was translated, so as not to see death, and was not found, because that, God, had translated him; for, before the translation, he had received witness that he had become well-pleasing unto God; -

But, apart from faith, it is impossible to be well-pleasing; for he that approacheth unto God - must needs have faith, that he is, and that, to them who seek him out, a rewarder he becometh.

By faith, being called, Abraham obeyed - to come forth into a place he was destined to receive for an inheritance; and he came forth, not well knowing whither he was coming.

For he was awaiting the city having foundations, whose architect and builder is, God.

By faith, even Sarah herself, received power for founding a seed, even beyond the season of life's prime, - seeing that, faithful, she reckoned, him that had promised;
