Because if the word which came through the angels was fixed, and in the past every evil act against God's orders was given its full punishment;

Because of this it was necessary for him to be made like his brothers in every way, so that he might be a high priest full of mercy and keeping faith in everything to do with God, making offerings for the sins of the people.

For the word of God is living and full of power, and is sharper than any two-edged sword, cutting through and making a division even of the soul and the spirit, the bones and the muscles, and quick to see the thoughts and purposes of the heart.

But solid food is for men of full growth, even for those whose senses are trained by use to see what is good and what is evil.

For this reason let us go on from the first things about Christ to full growth; not building again that on which it is based, that is, the turning of the heart from dead works, and faith in God,

And this hope is like a strong band for our souls, fixed and certain, and going in to that which is inside the veil;

And inside the second veil was the place which is named the Holy of holies;

By the new and living way which he made open for us through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

Put out the power of fire, got safely away from the edge of the sword, were made strong when they had been feeble, became full of power in war, and put to flight the armies of the nations.

And the vision was so overpowering that even Moses said, I am shaking and full of fear.

Make you full of every good work and ready to do all his desires, working in us whatever is pleasing in his eyes through Jesus Christ; and may the glory be given to him for ever and ever. So be it.
