For to which of the angels did He ever say, You are My Son; today I have become Your Father, or again, I will be His Father, and He will be My Son?

they will perish, but You remain.
They will all wear out like clothing;

You will roll them up like a cloak,
and they will be changed like a robe.
But You are the same,
and Your years will never end.

We must, therefore, pay even more attention to what we have heard, so that we will not drift away.

how will we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was first spoken by the Lord and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him.

At the same time, God also testified by signs and wonders, various miracles, and distributions of gifts from the Holy Spirit according to His will.

saying:

I will proclaim Your name to My brothers;
I will sing hymns to You in the congregation.

Again, I will trust in Him. And again, Here I am with the children God gave Me.

So I swore in My anger,
“They will not enter My rest.”

(for we who have believed enter the rest), in keeping with what He has said:

So I swore in My anger,
they will not enter My rest.

And yet His works have been finished since the foundation of the world,

Again, in that passage He says, They will never enter My rest.

Let us then make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall into the same pattern of disobedience.

And we will do this if God permits.

But if it produces thorns and thistles, it is worthless and about to be cursed, and will be burned at the end.

But finding fault with His people, He says:

Look, the days are coming, says the Lord,
when I will make a new covenant
with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah—

But this is the covenant
that I will make with the house of Israel
after those days, says the Lord:
I will put My laws into their minds
and write them on their hearts.
I will be their God,
and they will be My people.

And each person will not teach his fellow citizen,
and each his brother, saying, “Know the Lord,”
because they will all know Me,
from the least to the greatest of them.

For I will be merciful to their wrongdoing,
and I will never again remember their sins.

how much more will the blood of the Messiah, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works to serve the living God?

Where a will exists, the death of the one who made it must be established.

For a will is valid only when people die, since it is never in force while the one who made it is living.

so also the Messiah, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him.

Then I said, “See—
it is written about Me
in the volume of the scroll—
I have come to do Your will, God!”

He then says, See, I have come to do Your will. He takes away the first to establish the second.

By this will of God, we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once and for all.

This is the covenant I will make with them
after those days, says the Lord:
I will put My laws on their hearts
and write them on their minds,

He adds:

I will never again remember
their sins and their lawless acts.

How much worse punishment do you think one will deserve who has trampled on the Son of God, regarded as profane the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and insulted the Spirit of grace?

For we know the One who has said, Vengeance belongs to Me, I will repay, and again, The Lord will judge His people.

For you need endurance, so that after you have done God’s will, you may receive what was promised.

For yet in a very little while,
the Coming One will come and not delay.

But My righteous one will live by faith;
and if he draws back,
I have no pleasure in him.

the one it had been said about, Your seed will be traced through Isaac.

Pursue peace with everyone, and holiness—without it no one will see the Lord.

Make sure that you do not reject the One who speaks. For if they did not escape when they rejected Him who warned them on earth, even less will we if we turn away from Him who warns us from heaven.

His voice shook the earth at that time, but now He has promised, Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also heaven.

Marriage must be respected by all, and the marriage bed kept undefiled, because God will judge immoral people and adulterers.

Your life should be free from the love of money. Be satisfied with what you have, for He Himself has said, I will never leave you or forsake you.

Therefore, we may boldly say:

The Lord is my helper;
I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?

Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account, so that they can do this with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.

equip you with all that is good to do His will, working in us what is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ. Glory belongs to Him forever and ever. Amen.
