having become so much better than the angels, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they have.

As a mantle, you will roll them up, and they will be changed; but you are the same. Your years will not fail."

who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house.

For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who built the house has more honor than the house.

Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken,

but Christ is faithful as a Son over his house; whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the glorying of our hope firm to the end.

Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, "Today if you will hear his voice,

don't harden your hearts, as in the rebellion, like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,

as I swore in my wrath, 'They will not enter into my rest.'"

but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called "today;" lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

while it is said, "Today if you will hear his voice, don't harden your hearts, as in the rebellion."

For indeed we have had good news preached to us, even as they also did, but the word they heard didn't profit them, because it wasn't mixed with faith by those who heard.

For we who have believed do enter into that rest, even as he has said, "As I swore in my wrath, they will not enter into my rest;" although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

he again defines a certain day, today, saying through David so long a time afterward (just as has been said), "Today if you will hear his voice, don't harden your hearts."

For he who has entered into his rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.

Because of this, he must offer sacrifices for sins for the people, as well as for himself.

As he says also in another place, "You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek."

For God is not unrighteous, so as to forget your work and the labor of love which you showed toward his name, in that you served the saints, and still do serve them.

This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is within the veil;

where as a forerunner Jesus entered for us, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

Inasmuch as he was not made priest without the taking of an oath

For the law appoints men as high priests who have weakness, but the word of the oath which came after the law appoints a Son forever who has been perfected.

who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses was warned by God when he was about to make the tabernacle, for he said, "See, you shall make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain."

But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which on better promises has been given as law.

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

nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy place year by year with blood not his own,

Inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this, judgment,

not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching.

By faith, he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a land not his own, dwelling in tents, with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise.

Therefore as many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as innumerable as the sand which is by the sea shore, were fathered by one man, and him as good as dead.

By faith, he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

By faith, they passed through the Red Sea as on dry land. When the Egyptians tried to do so, they were swallowed up.

and you have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, "My son, don't take lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him;

It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn't discipline?

For they indeed, for a few days, punished us as seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.

This phrase, "Yet once more," signifies 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 those who are in bonds, as bound with them; and those who are ill-treated, since you are also in the body.

Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, "I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you."

For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned outside of the camp.

Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch on behalf of your souls, as those who will give account, that they may do this with joy, and not with groaning, for that would be unprofitable for you.
