whom he put forth the heir of all things, and through whom he created the ages;

who being the brightness of his glory, and the character of his person, and holding up all things by the word of his power, having made purgation of the sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

Are not all these ministering spirits, having been sent forth unto ministration for the sake of those who are about to inherit salvation?

how shall we escape, having neglected so great a salvation? which having received the beginning to be spoken by the Lord, was confirmed unto us by those who heard it;

For it became him, on account of whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in leading many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through suffering.

For both the one sanctifying and they who are sanctified are all of one: on account of which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

Then since the children have inherited blood and flesh, he likewise also received the same, in order that through death he might set at nought him who has the power of death, that is, the devil;

For in that he himself suffered being tempted, he is able to succor those who are tempted.

being faithful to him who appointed him, as indeed Moses in all his house.

whom our fathers tempted in proving me, and saw my works forty years.

for who were those, having heard, who were hardened? yea, were they not all those having come out of Egypt under Moses?

And with whom was he provoked forty years? was it not with those that sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?

And to whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who believed not?

For we who have believed, do enter into rest: as he has said, As I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest: the works truly having been from the foundations of the world.

And no creature is hidden in his presence: but all things are naked and have been laid open to the eyes of him to whom the word is unto us.

For we have not a high priest who is not able to be touched with our infirmities; but one having been tempted as to all things like unto us, apart from sin.

Who in the days of his flesh, having with strong crying and tears offered up both prayers and supplications unto him who is able to save him from death, and having been heard on account of his piety,

and having been made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation to all those who obey him;

Concerning whom there is much word to us, and difficult to speak, since you are dull of hearing.

For indeed you, who ought to be teachers so far as time is concerned, have need that some one again teach you what are the rudiments of the beginning of the oracles of God; and you have need of milk, not solid food.

For the earth drinking the rain coming often upon her, and bringing forth the herb nutritious to those by whom it is also cultivated, receives blessings from God:

in order that you may not be dull, but imitators of those who through faith and longsufferings do inherit the promises.

For God having promised Abraham, since he had no greater one by whom to swear, swore by himself,

that through two immutable things in which it was impossible that God should lie, we who have fled may have a strong consolation to lay hold of the hope set before us,

to whom Abraham divided the tenth from all first, being interpreted, King of righteousness, and then King of Salem, which is, King of peace;

You see how great this man was, to whom the patriarch Abraham even gave the tenth part of the chief spoils.

but he who did not derive his lineage from them has tithed Abraham, and blessed him having the promises.

For he unto whom these things were spoken belongs to another tribe, from which no one ministers at the altar:

who was not made after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.

who had not daily need, as the high priests, first to offer up sacrifices for their own sins, then those of the people: for he did this, having offered up himself once.

But in addition to the things which having been spoken this is the principal thing: We have such a high priest, who sat on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,

For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctifies unto the purification of the flesh;

how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered up himself without spot to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

For we know him who said, Vengeance belongs to me, I will repay; and again, The Lord will judge his people.

but without faith it is impossible to please him: for it behooves the one coming unto God to believe that he is, and he is a rewarder unto them who seek him out.

And by faith Sarah herself received power unto the conception of seed, even past the time of age, since she considered him faithful who had promised.

in reference to whom it was said, In Isaac shall thy seed be called:

who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness,

of whom the world was not worthy; wandering in deserts, and in mountains, and caves and dens of the earth.

looking unto Jesus the beginner and perfecter of our faith; who for the joy that was placed before him, endured the cross, looking with contempt at the shame, and has sat down on the right hand of the throne of God.

For consider him who has endured so great a contradiction of sinners against himself, in order that you may not become weary, fainting in your souls.

for whom the Lord loves he chastises, and scourges every son whom he receives.

Endure unto chastisement; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom the father does not chastise?

Then indeed, we had fathers of our flesh who chastised us, and we endured: how much more then shall we submit to the Father of spirits, and live?

Indeed no chastisement for the present seems to be truly joyful, but sorrowful: but afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to them who have been disciplined by it.

lest any one may be a fornicator, or a profane person, as was Esau, who for one morsel sold his birthright.

to the whole company, and to the church of the first-born, who have been written in the heavens, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of justified people who have been made perfect,

See that you do not reject the one speaking: for if they escape not having rejected the one delivering them the divine oracles on earth, how much more shall we not escape, who turn away from the one speaking from the heavens:

Remember your leaders, who spoke to you the word of God: the outgoing of whose deportment seeing, imitate their faith.

in every good thing to do his will, doing that which is acceptable in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory unto the age of the ages. Amen.
