For to which of the messengers said He ever, 'My Son thou art -- I to-day have begotten thee?' and again, 'I will be to him for a father, and he shall be to Me for a son?'

And unto which of the messengers said He ever, 'Sit at My right hand, till I may make thine enemies thy footstool?'

how shall we escape, having neglected so great salvation? which a beginning receiving -- to be spoken through the Lord -- by those having heard was confirmed to us,

For not to messengers did He subject the coming world, concerning which we speak,

for both he who is sanctifying and those sanctified are all of one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

in which tempt Me did your fathers, they did prove Me, and saw My works forty years;

who in the days of his flesh both prayers and supplications unto Him who was able to save him from death -- with strong crying and tears -- having offered up, and having been heard in respect to that which he feared,

through being a Son, did learn by the things which he suffered -- the obedience,

and that which is bearing thorns and briers is disapproved of, and nigh to cursing, whose end is for burning;

in which God, more abundantly willing to shew to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, did interpose by an oath,

that through two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, a strong comfort we may have who did flee for refuge to lay hold on the hope set before us,

which we have, as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and entering into that within the vail,

to whom also a tenth of all did Abraham divide, (first, indeed, being interpreted, 'King of righteousness,' and then also, King of Salem, which is, King of Peace,)

for it is evident that out of Judah hath arisen our Lord, in regard to which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

(for nothing did the law perfect) and the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw nigh to God.

of the holy places a servant, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord did set up, and not man,

and now he hath obtained a more excellent service, how much also of a better covenant is he mediator, which on better promises hath been sanctioned,

for a tabernacle was prepared, the first, in which was both the lamp-stand, and the table, and the bread of the presence -- which is called 'Holy;'

having a golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid all round about with gold, in which is the golden pot having the manna, and the rod of Aaron that budded, and the tables of the covenant,

and over it cherubim of the glory, overshadowing the mercy-seat, concerning which we are not now to speak particularly.

and into the second, once in the year, only the chief priest, not apart from blood, which he doth offer for himself and the errors of the people,

which is a simile in regard to the present time, in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, which are not able, in regard to conscience, to make perfect him who is serving,

saying above -- 'Sacrifice, and offering, and burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offering Thou didst not will, nor delight in,' -- which according to the law are offered --

in the which will we are having been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once,

which way he did initiate for us -- new and living, through the vail, that is, his flesh --

of how much sorer punishment shall he be counted worthy who the Son of God did trample on, and the blood of the covenant did count a common thing, in which he was sanctified, and to the Spirit of the grace did despite?

And call to your remembrance the former days, in which, having been enlightened, ye did endure much conflict of sufferings,

Ye may not cast away, then, your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward,

by faith a better sacrifice did Abel offer to God than Cain, through which he was testified to be righteous, God testifying of his gifts, and through it, he being dead, doth yet speak.

By faith Noah, having been divinely warned concerning the things not yet seen, having feared, did prepare an ark to the salvation of his house, through which he did condemn the world, and of the righteousness according to faith he became heir.

and if, indeed, they had been mindful of that from which they came forth, they might have had an opportunity to return,

By faith they did pass through the Red Sea as through dry land, which the Egyptians having received a trial of, were swallowed up;

and if ye are apart from chastening, of which all have become partakers, then bastards are ye, and not sons.

and straight paths make for your feet, that that which is lame may not be turned aside, but rather be healed;

peace pursue with all, and the separation, apart from which no one shall see the Lord,

and a sound of a trumpet, and a voice of sayings, which those having heard did entreat that a word might not be added to them,

for they were not bearing that which is commanded, 'And if a beast may touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or with an arrow shot through,'

wherefore, a kingdom that cannot be shaken receiving, may we have grace, through which we may serve God well-pleasingly, with reverence and religious fear;

with teachings manifold and strange be not carried about, for it is good that by grace the heart be confirmed, not with meats, in which they who were occupied were not profited;

we have an altar, of which to eat they have no authority who the tabernacle are serving,

make you perfect in every good work to do His will, doing in you that which is well-pleasing before Him, through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory -- to the ages of the ages! Amen.
