who being the effulgence of his glory, and the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had made purification of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, This day have I begotten thee? and again, I will be to him a Father, And he shall be to me a Son?

And as a mantle shalt thou roll them up, As a garment, and they shall be changed: But thou art the same, And thy years shall not fail.

For if the word spoken through angels proved stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;

But one hath somewhere testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? Or the son of man, that thou visitest him?

For indeed we have had good tidings preached unto us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith with them that heard.

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

So Christ also glorified not himself to be made a high priest, but he that spake unto him, Thou art my Son, This day have I begotten thee:

as he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever After the order of Melchizedek.

For every one that partaketh of milk is without experience of the word of righteousness; for he is a babe.

and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come,

saying, This is the blood of the covenant which God commanded to you-ward.

A man that hath set at nought Moses law dieth without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses:

By faith we understand that the worlds have been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen hath not been made out of things which appear.

and ye have forgotten the exhortation which reasoneth with you as with sons, My son, regard not lightly the chastening of the Lord, Nor faint when thou art reproved of him;

and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard entreated that no word more should be spoken unto them;

And this word , Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain.

Remember them that had the rule over you, men that spake unto you the word of God; and considering the issue of their life, imitate their faith.

But I exhort you, brethren, bear with the word of exhortation, for I have written unto you in few words.
