Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s household, as a testimony to what would be said in the future.

And who did He swear to that they would not enter His rest, if not those who disobeyed?

For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day.

Now if He were on earth, He wouldn’t be a priest, since there are those offering the gifts prescribed by the law.

For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion for a second one.

Otherwise, He would have had to suffer many times since the foundation of the world. But now He has appeared one time, at the end of the ages, for the removal of sin by the sacrifice of Himself.

Otherwise, wouldn’t they have stopped being offered, since the worshipers, once purified, would no longer have any consciousness of sins?

If they were thinking about where they came from, they would have had an opportunity to return.

since God had provided something better for us, so that they would not be made perfect without us.

Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account, so that they can do this with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.
