God who at sundry times and in divers manners spake of old to the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken to us by his Son;

For to which of the angels did he ever say, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

But unto the Son, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of righteousness:

But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him, or the son of man, that thou visitest him?

But Christ as a Son over his own house, whose house we are, if we hold fast the confidence and the glorying of hope, firm to the end.

But exhort one another daily, while it is called to day, lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin:

Having therefore a great high priest, that is passed thro' the heavens, Jesus the son of God,

let us hold fast our profession, For we have not an high-priest who cannot sympathize with our infirmities, but who was in all points tempted like as we are: yet without sin.

So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest, but he that said to him, Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.

Who in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and supplications, with strong crying and tears, unto him that was able to save him from death, and being heard from his fears; Tho' he was a son,

And have fallen away, to renew them again unto repentance, seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

Without father, without mother, without pedigree, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life, but being made like the son of God, remaineth a priest continually.

For the law maketh men high priests that have infirmity; but the word of the oath which was since the law, maketh the son, who is consecrated for evermore.

For then he must often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once at the consummation of the ages hath he been manifested, to abolish sin by the sacrifice of himself.

So Christ also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, will appear the second time, without sin, to them that look for him, unto salvation.

Burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast not delighted in.

Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering, and burnt-offerings and offering for sin thou hast not chosen, neither delighted in, which are offered by the law:

Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

For when we sin wilfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and counted the blood of the covenant, by which he hath been sanctified, an unholy thing, and done despite to the spirit of grace?

Now faith is the subsistence of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were made of things which do not appear.

By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his houshold, by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

All these died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and embraced them, and confest that they were strangers and sojourners on the earth.

By faith Abraham, being tried, offered up Isaac, and he that had received the promises, offered up his only begotten son:

By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,

Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season.

They were stoned, were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheep-skins, in goat-skins, destitute, afflicted, tormented:

Wherefore, seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which easily besetteth us, and run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith;

Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.

And yet ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh to you as to sons, My son, despise not thou the chastning of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him.

For whom the Lord loveth, he chastneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

If ye endure chastning, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he, whom his father chastneth not?

But ye are come to mount Sion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem,

For the bodies of those beasts whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest for sin, are burnt without the camp.

Know that our brother Timotheus is set at liberty, with whom, if he come soon, I will see you.
