In times past the word of God came to our fathers through the prophets, in different parts and in different ways;

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.

So that I was angry with this generation, and I said, Their hearts are in error at all times, and they have no knowledge of my ways;

Having then a great high priest, who has made his way through the heavens, even Jesus the Son of God, let us be strong in our faith.

He is able to have feeling for those who have no knowledge and for those who are wandering from the true way, because he himself is feeble;

In the same way Christ did not take for himself the glory of being made a high priest, but was given it by him who said, You are my Son, this day I have given you being:

The Holy Spirit witnessing by this that the way into the holy place had not at that time been made open, while the first Tent was still in being;

And the blood was put on the Tent and all the holy vessels in the same way.

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

Not giving up our meetings, as is the way of some, but keeping one another strong in faith; and all the more because you see the day coming near.

In part, in being attacked by angry words and cruel acts, before the eyes of everyone, and in part, in being united with those who were attacked in this way.

By faith he went out of Egypt, not being turned from his purpose by fear of the wrath of the king; for he kept on his way, as seeing him who is unseen.

For this reason, as we are circled by so great a cloud of witnesses, putting off every weight, and the sin into which we come so readily, let us keep on running in the way which is marked out for us,

And make straight roads for your feet, so that the feeble may not be turned out of the way, but may be made strong.

Take care to keep open house: because in this way some have had angels as their guests, without being conscious of it.

Keep in mind those who were over you, and who gave you the word of God; seeing the outcome of their way of life, let your faith be like theirs.

Make prayers for us, for we are certain that our hearts are free from the sense of sin, desiring the right way of life in all things.
