Which son, being the brightness of his glory, and very image of his substance, bearing up all things with the word of his power, hath in his own person purged our sins, and is sitten on the righthand of the majesty on high,

For unto which of the angels said he at any time, "Thou art my son, this day begat I thee?" And again, "I will be his father, and he shall be my son."

and as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: but thou art always, and thy years shall not fail."

For if the word which was spoken by angels was steadfast - so that every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense to reward -

how shall we escape if we despise so great salvation? Which at the first began to be preached of the Lord himself, and afterward was confirmed unto us ward, by them that heard it;

but one in a certain place witnessed, saying, "What is man, that thou art mindful of him: other the son of man, that thou visitest him?

For unto us was it declared, as well as unto them. But it profited not them that they heard the word, because they which heard it coupled it not with faith.

for the word of God is quick, and mighty in operation, and sharper than any two edged sword: and entereth through, even unto the dividing asunder of the soul and the spirit and of the joints, and the marrow: and judgeth the thoughts and the intents of the heart.

Even so, likewise, Christ glorified not himself, to be made the high priest: but he that said unto him. "Thou art my son, this day begat I thee."

As he also in another place speaketh, "Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek."

For when as concerning the time, ye ought to be teachers, yet have ye need again that we teach you the first principles of the word of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat:

For every man that is fed with milk is inexpert in the word of righteousness: For he is but a babe.

and have tasted of the good word of God, and of the power of the world to come;

For he testifieth, "Thou art a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek."

Those priests were made without an oath: but this priest with an oath, by him that said unto him, "The Lord sware, and will not repent: Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek."

For the law maketh men priests, which have infirmity: but the word of the oath that came since the law, maketh the son priest, which is perfect for evermore.

Through faith we understand that the world was ordained, by the word of God: and that things which are seen, were made of things which are not seen.

And ye have forgotten the consolation which speaketh unto you, as unto children, "My son despise not the chastening of the Lord, neither faint when thou art rebuked of him:

Remember them which have the oversight of you, which have declared unto you the word of God: consider the conversation of their living, the end of whose conversation see that ye look upon, and follow their faith.
