But we see Jesus, who was made for a little while lower than the angels, in order to suffer death, that by the grace of God He might taste death for every man, crowned with glory and honor.

For indeed He taketh not hold of angels to save them, but of the seed of Abraham.

but Christ as a Son over his own house; whose house we are, if we maintain the free profession and exultation of hope firm unto the end.

but exhort one another daily, while it is called to-day; that none of you may be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin:

harden not your hearts, as in the provocation." For some that heard did provoke; but not all that came out of Egypt with Moses.

But with whom was He provoked forty years? was it not with those that sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?

and to whom did He swear that they should not enter into his rest, but to those that were disobedient?

for we are graciously offered it, as they also were. But the word, which they heard, did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

And there is no creature concealed from his sight: but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him, to whom we are to give an account.

for we have not an high-priest who cannot sympathize with our infirmities, but was in all respects tempted in like manner with us, yet without sin.

And no one taketh this honor to himself, but he that is called by God, as Aaron was.

So also Christ did not glorify himself to be made an high-priest; but He that said unto Him, "Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee."

but though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered: and being thus perfected,

but firm food is for persons come to age, who by habit have their senses exercised to a discernment both of good and evil.

but that which bringeth forth thorns and briars, is rejected and near to a curse, (whose end is burning) so are they.

But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak for your caution.

that ye would not be sluggish, but imitators of them who through faith and patience are inheriting the promises.

without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days recorded, nor end of life, but resembling the Son of God, remaineth a priest continually.

but he, whose pedigree is not reckoned among them, took tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.

besides, here men that die receive tithes; but there he of whom it is testified that he liveth.

who is made not according to the law of a temporary command, but according to the power of an endless life.

for the law made nothing perfect, but the introducing of a better hope did, by which we draw near to God.

(for they indeed are become priests without the solemnity of an oath; but He with an oath, by Him who said unto Him, "The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:")

but He, because He abideth for ever, hath a priesthood that passeth not to any other:

For the law appointeth men high-priests, who have infirmity; but the oath, recorded since the law, appointeth the Son to be priest for ever, being fully perfected for it.

But now He hath obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which is established upon better promises.

But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their mind, and I will inscribe them on their hearts; and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.

but into the second only the high-priest went once a year; and that not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the sins of the people committed through ignorance.

But Christ being come an high-priest of the good things to come, hath entered once for all into the holy places, through a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of this building,

nor by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

For a testament is valid after men are dead, but is of no force while the testator is living.

It was therefore necessary that the representations of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with more excellent sacrifices than these.

For Christ is not entered into holy places made with hands, which were but types of the true ones; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

(for then He must indeed have suffered often since the foundation of the world) but now once at the conclusion of the ages He hath been made manifest for the abolishing of sin by the sacrifice of himself.

For the law having but a faint shadow of good things to come, and not the full image of the things, can never, even by the great annual sacrifices which they offer statedly, make the comers thereunto perfect.

Wherefore upon his coming into the world He saith, "Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire, but a body hast thou prepared me:

but He having offered one sacrifice for sins, is for ever sat down at the right hand of God;

not forsaking our assemblies, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more as ye see the day approaching.

but a dreadful expectation of judgement, and a fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

But call to remembrance the former days, in which after being enlightened, ye sustained a great conflict of sufferings;

and the just shall live by faith, but if any draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

But we are not of those who withdraw to perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but seen them from afar, and been persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and sojourners on the earth.

But they desire a better, that is, an heavenly one; wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for He hath prepared for them a city.

But if ye be without chastisement, of which all are partakers, then are ye bastards and not sons.

For they indeed corrected us for a while, as seemed good to them; but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.

Now no chastening seems for the present to be matter of joy but of grief: and yet afterwards it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those that are exercised thereby.

And make strait paths for your feet, that what is lame may not be turned out of the way, but rather be healed.

but ye are come to mount Sion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels,

whose voice then shook the earth; but now He hath promised, saying, "Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also the heaven."

Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed is not defiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

As the bodies of those animals, whose blood being offered for sin is brought into the holy place by the high-priest, are not eaten, but are burnt without the camp.

but are seeking that which is to come.

But to do good and to communicate forget not; for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

but let patience have it's perfect work, that ye may be entirely perfect, failing in nothing.

But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting; for he that doubteth is like a wave of the sea blown about and tossed by the wind.

Let the brother that is low rejoice in his exaltation: but the rich in his humiliation,

But every man is tempted, when drawn aside and insnared by his own vehement desire.

and every perfect gift, but no evil one, is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation, nor shadow of turning:

But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

But he that looketh well into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

If any among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his heart, this man's devotion is vain.

Hear, my beloved brethren; hath not God chosen the poor of this world who are rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which He hath promised to them that love Him? but ye have slighted the poor.

But if ye partially respect persons, ye commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.

For whosoever shall keep the whole law besides, but offend in one point, he is under the penalty of all:

for He that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou do not commit adultery, but committest murder, thou art a transgressor of the law.

For he shall have judgement without mercy, that hath not shewn mercy: but mercy triumpheth over judgement.

and one of you say to them, Go in peace, be ye warmed and be ye filled: but ye give them not the necessaries of life, what profit is it to them?

But one may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith by thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

But desirest thou to know, O vain man, that faith without works, is dead?

but the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

but if ye have bitter envy and strife in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth;

this is not the wisdom, that cometh down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and diabolical:

But the wisdom that is from above first is pure, then peaceable, mild, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.

Ye desire, and ye have not: ye are envious, and jealous, and cannot obtain: ye fight and contend; but ye have not, because ye ask not.

No, He giveth more grace: wherefore it is said, God resisteth the proud, but sheweth favor to the humble.

Speak not against one another, my brethren; he that speaketh against his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh against the law, and judgeth the law; but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

Now there is but one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou then that judgest another?

but ye glory in your presumption: all such glorying is wicked.

But above all, my brethren, swear not; neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor any other oath: but let your yea be yea, and your nay nay; that ye may not fall under condemnation.

to whom it was revealed, that it was not to themselves, but to us they ministered these things, which are now declared unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you, through the holy Spirit sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.

but as He who hath called you is holy, be ye also holy in all your conversation: since it is written,

but with the precious blood of Christ as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

who was indeed appointed before the foundation of the world, but manifested in these last times, for your sakes,

being regenerated not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God which liveth and abideth for ever.

but the word of the Lord abideth for ever. And this is the word which is preached to you in the gospel.

to whom coming as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen of God,

To you therefore who believe it is precious: but to them that are disobedient, the stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner,

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should declare the glories of Him, who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

who heretofore were not a people, but are now the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

as free, and yet not using your liberty as a cloke for wickedness, but as the servants of God.

Ye who are servants, be subject to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and mild, but also to the morose:

For what glory is it, if when ye sin and are punished for it, ye bear it patiently? but if when ye do well and suffer for it, ye bear it patiently, this will gain favor with God.

who, when He was reviled, reviled not again; when He suffered, He threatened not; but committed Himself to Him that judgeth righteously.

For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now turned unto the shepherd and bishop of your souls.

but the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

not returning evil for evil, or reproach for reproach: but on the contrary blessing even those that curse you: knowing ye are called unto this, that ye may obtain a blessing.

let him seek peace, and pursue it: for the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil."

But if ye should even suffer for righteousness sake, happy are ye: and therefore be not afraid of their menaces, neither be troubled; but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts:

As Christ also once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust (that He might introduce us to God) being indeed put to death in the flesh, but raised to life by the Spirit:
