His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

But which of the angels has he told at any time, "Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?"

For most certainly, he doesn't give help to angels, but he gives help to the seed of Abraham.

Therefore I was displeased with that generation, and said, 'They always err in their heart, but they didn't know my ways;'

while it is said, "Today if you will hear his voice, don't harden your hearts, as in the rebellion."

For we who have believed do enter into that rest, even as he has said, "As I swore in my wrath, they will not enter into my rest;" although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

For he has said this somewhere about the seventh day, "God rested on the seventh day from all his works;"

he again defines a certain day, today, saying through David so long a time afterward (just as has been said), "Today if you will hear his voice, don't harden your hearts."

There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

So also Christ didn't glorify himself to be made a high priest, but it was he who said to him, "You are my Son. Today I have become your father."

that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us.

For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.

Now in the things which we are saying, the main point is this. We have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses was warned by God when he was about to make the tabernacle, for he said, "See, you shall make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain."

For finding fault with them, he said, "Behold, the days come," says the Lord, "that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;

and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat, of which things we can't speak now in detail.

Then I said, 'Behold, I have come (in the scroll of the book it is written of me) to do your will, O God.'"

then he has said, "Behold, I have come to do your will." He takes away the first, that he may establish the second,

but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God;

For we know him who said, "Vengeance belongs to me," says the Lord, "I will repay." Again, "The Lord will judge his people."

even he to whom it was said, "In Isaac will your seed be called;"

Therefore let us also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

and so fearful was the appearance, that Moses said, "I am terrified and trembling."

Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, "I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you."

make you complete in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
