For if the message spoken through angels proved to be so firm that every violation or disobedience received its just penalty,

For he has come to deserve greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house deserves greater honor than the house itself!

For we had good news proclaimed to us just as they did. But the message they heard did them no good, since they did not join in with those who heard it in faith.

For the one who enters God's rest has also rested from his works, just as God did from his own works.

For we do not have a high priest incapable of sympathizing with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way just as we are, yet without sin.

The place where they serve is a sketch and shadow of the heavenly sanctuary, just as Moses was warned by God as he was about to complete the tabernacle. For he says, "See that you make everything according to the design shown to you on the mountain."

And just as people are appointed to die once, and then to face judgment,

For just a little longer and he who is coming will arrive and not delay.
