And thou will roll them up as a mantle, and they will be changed. But thou are the same, and thy years will not cease.

Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth for service for the sake of those who are going to inherit salvation?

For he did not subject the coming world to heavenly agents, about which we speak.

Thou subordinated all things under his feet. For in subordinating all things to him, he left nothing not subordinate to him. But now we do not yet see all things subordinated to him.

For both he who sanctifies and those being sanctified are all of one, because of which reason he is not ashamed to call them brothers,

For he certainly did not embrace heavenly agents, but he embraced the seed of Abraham.

do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, according to the day of the trial in the wilderness,

Therefore I was angry with that generation, and said, They are always led astray in their heart, and they did not know my ways.

So I swore in my wrath, They will not enter into my rest.

while it is said, Today if ye will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.

For some who heard rebelled, but not all those who came out of Egypt by Moses.

But with whom was he angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?

And to whom did he swear were not going to enter into his rest, if not to those who were disobedient?

And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.

For we also are having good-news preached, just as also those men, but the word of hearing did not benefit those men, not having been mixed together with faith in those who heard.

For those who believe enter into that rest, just as he said, So I swore in my wrath, They will not enter into my rest, although the works occurred from the foundation of the world.

and in this again, They will not enter into my rest.

Since therefore it remains for some to enter into it, and those who formerly had good-news did not enter because of disobedience,

again he appoints a certain day, Today, saying in David after so long a time (as it is said), Today if ye will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.

For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken about another day after these things.

Let us therefore be diligent to enter into that rest, so that not any man may fall by the same example of disobedience.

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but who was tempted in all things in the same way, without sin.

And not any man takes the honor to himself, but being called by God, just as also Aaron.

So also Christ did not glorify himself to become a high priest, but it was he who said to him, Thou are my Son, today I have begotten thee.

For also men who ought to be teachers because of the time, ye have need again for some man to teach you the rudiments of the beginning of the oracles of God, and have become men who have need of milk, and not of solid food.

Therefore having left the word of the primacy of Christ, let us be brought forward to perfection, not again laying a foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

For God is not unrighteous to forget your work, and the labor of love that ye showed toward his name, having served the sanctified, and who are serving.

so that ye may not become lazy, but imitators of those who, through faith and longsuffering, inherit the promises.

But the man who did not descend from them has received tithes from Abraham, and has blessed the man having the promises.

If indeed therefore perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people had received the law), what further need is there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be designated

who has become, not according to a law of a carnal commandment, but according to the power of an indestructible life.

And inasmuch as it is not without an oath. For actually those who become priests are so without an oath,

but he with an oath, because of him who says to him, The Lord swore and will not change his mind, Thou are a priest into the age according to the order of Melchizedek.

Who has no need to offer up sacrifices each day, as those high priests, first for his own sins, then for those of the people, for this he did, once, when he offered up himself.

a minister of the holy things, and of the TRUE tabernacle, which the Lord erected and not man.

For certainly if he were on earth, he would not even be a priest, there being the priests who offer the gifts according to the law,

Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by my hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt. Because they did not continue in my covenant, and I disregarded them, says Lord.

And they will, no, not teach each man his fellow citizen, and each man his brother, saying, Know the Lord, because all will know me, from their small as far as their great.

Because I will be merciful to their iniquities, and their sins and their lawlessness I will no, not further remember.

And above it were cherubim of glory overshadowing the place of forgiveness, about which things it is not now to speak in detail.

But into the second part, the high priest alone, once a year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the unintentional sins of the people,

this signifying from the Holy Spirit, the way into the holy things is not yet to be made known while the first tabernacle still remains.

Which is a figure for the present time, according to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered that are not able to make the man officiating fully perfect in respect to conscience,

But Christ, having arrived a high priest of the good things that are coming, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation,

and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, he entered in once into the Holy things, having found eternal redemption.

And almost all things, according to the law, are cleansed with blood, and remission does not occur without bloodshed.

For the Christ entered not into a holy place made with hands, representative of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.

And not so that he might offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the Holy things each year with blood by another,

For the law having a shadow of the good things that are coming, not the same substance of the events, with the same sacrifices that are offered continually each year, they are never able to fully perfect those who are approaching.

Otherwise would they not have ceased being offered, because of those who worship, once having been cleansed, to have no further conscience of sins?

Therefore when he comes into the world, he says, Sacrifice and offering thou did not desire, but thou prepared for me a body.

In whole burnt offerings, and for sin thou were not pleased.

saying above, Sacrifice and offering and whole burnt offerings and for sin thou did not desire, nor were thou pleased with things that are offered according to the law.

and, Their sins and their lawlessness I will, no, not further remember.

Not forsaking the assembling together of ourselves, as is the habit of some, but exhorting, and so much the more as long as ye see the day approaching.

Therefore do not throw off your boldness, which has great recompense of reward.

For ye have need of perseverance, so that, having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise.

For yet a very little while, he who is coming will come, and will not delay.

But the righteous man will live from faith, and if he should withdraw, my soul is not pleased with him.

But we are not of retreat for destruction, but of faith for the preservation of the soul.

Now faith is the foundation of hoping, the evidence of events not being seen.

By faith we understand the ages to have been prepared by the word of God. For the things that are seen do not come to be from that which is visible.

By faith Enoch was transferred to not see death, and he was not found, because God transferred him. For before his removal he was reported to be pleasing to God.

By faith Noah, being divinely warned about things not yet seen, moved with awe, prepared an ark for the salvation of his house, through which he condemned the world, and became an heir of righteousness according to faith.

By faith Abraham, when called, obeyed to go out to the place that he was going to take for an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.

All these died in faith, not having taken the promises, but who saw and greeted them from afar, and who confessed that they were foreigners and sojourners on the earth.

But now they aspire for a superior one, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.

By faith Moses, after being born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw the child well-formed, and they were not afraid of the king's edict.

By faith he forsook Egypt, not having feared the wrath of the king, for he persevered as seeing the invisible.

By faith he performed the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that he who was destroying the firstborn would not touch them.

By faith Rahab the harlot was not destroyed with those who were disobedient, having received the spies with peace.

Women took hold of their dead from a resurrection, but others were tortured, not having accepted deliverance, so that they might experience a superior resurrection.

(of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts and mountains and caves, and the holes of the earth.

And all these, having been well reported through faith, did not receive the promise,

God having foreseen something superior concerning us, so that without us they would not be made fully perfect.

For consider the man who endured such hostility against him by sinners, so that ye may not be weary in your souls, being disheartened.

Ye have not yet resisted as far as blood, struggling against sin.

And have ye forgotten the exhortation that reasons with you as with sons, My son, do not disparage the chastening of Lord, nor become disheartened when punished by him?

Because of chastening ye endure; God is treating you as with sons, for what son is there whom a father does not chasten?

And if ye are without chastening, of which all have become participants, then ye are bastards, and not sons.

Besides, we indeed have had chastisers--the fathers of our flesh--and we were turned around. Shall we not much more be subordinate to the Father of the spirits, and we will live?

and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be turned away, but may be healed instead.

For ye have not come to a mountain being felt, and which burned with fire, and to darkness, and gloom, and a tempest,

and a sound of a trumpet, and a voice of words, of which those who heard begged that a word not be added to them.

For they did not bear that which was commanded, if even a beast should touch the mountain, it shall be stoned.

Watch, that ye not refuse him who speaks. For if those men did not escape, having refused him who spoke a divine message on earth, much more we, those who turn away from him from the heavens,

whose voice then shook the earth. But now he has promised, saying, Yet once, I shake not only the earth, but also the heaven.

And the, Yet once, signifies the removal of the things being shaken--as of things that were made--so that the things not being shaken may remain.

Do not forget love for strangers, for by this some lodged heavenly agents, unaware.

The Way of life is to be without love of money, being content with the things that are present, for he has said, I will, no, not leave thee, and also, I will, no, not forsake thee.

So then we have confidence to say, Lord is a helper to me, and I will not fear. What will man do to me?

Be not carried away by various and foreign doctrines. For it is good that the heart be established with grace, not with foods by which those who walked were not benefited.

But do not forget benevolence and fellowship, for God is well pleased with such sacrifices.

Have confidence in those who lead you, and yield yourselves, for they watch for your souls as men who will render account, so that they may do this with joy, and not groaning, for this is unprofitable for you.
