Who, being an effulgence of His glory and an exact expression of His substance, and upholding all things by the word of His power, having made a purification of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

and as a mantle Thou wilt roll them up, as a garment also they shall be changed; but Thou art the same, and Thy years shall not fail."

For, if the word spoken through angels became steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a righteous recompense,

For, indeed, we have had the Gospel proclaimed to us, even as also they; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not having been mingled with faith on the part of those who heard.

For the word of God is living, and effectual, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to a dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Thus Christ also glorified not Himself to become a high priest, but He Who spake to Him, "Thou art My Son, this day have I begotten Thee";

as also, in another place, He saith, "Thou art a Priest forever according to the rank of Melchizedek";

for every one who partakes of milk is inexperienced in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe;

Wherefore, leaving the word of the beginning of Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,

and tasted the good word of God and the powers of the coming age,

for it is testified of Him, "Thou art a Priest forever according to the rank of Melchizedek."

(for they, indeed, have been made priests without an oath; but He with an oath through Him Who said to Him, "The Lord swore, and will not repent, Thou art a Priest forever");

for the law constitutes men high priests who have infirmity, but the word of the oath, which was after the law, constitutes the Son perfected forever.

By faith we perceive that the ages have been constituted by the word of God, so that what is seen has not arisen out of things that appear.

and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice those who heard entreated that no word more should be added to them;

Remember those who are your leaders, who spake to you the word of God; and, considering the issue of whose manner of life, imitate their faith.

But I exhort you, brethren, bear with the word of exhortation; for, indeed, I wrote to you in few words.
