And as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.

Are they not all ministring spirits, sent forth to serve for them who shall inherit salvation?

For he hath not subjected to the angels the world to come, whereof we speak.

Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. Now in putting all things in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him: but now we do not yet see all things put under him.

For both he that sanctifieth, and all they that are sanctified, are of one; for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, Saying, I will declare thy name to my brethren;

For verily he taketh not hold of angels, but he taketh hold of the seed of Abraham.

if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness,

Therefore I was grieved with that generation and said, They always err in their hearts, and they have not know my ways.

So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.

we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm to the end) While it is said; To-day, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

Were they not all that came out of Egypt by Moses? And with whom was he grieved forty years? Was it not with them who had sinned?

Whose carcases fell in the wilderness? And to whom sware he, that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?

So we see, they could not enter in, because of unbelief.

For unto us hath the gospel been preached as well as unto them; but the word heard did not profit them, not being mixt with faith in those that heard it.

For we that have believed, do enter into the rest; as he said, I have sworn in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest, though the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

For he saith thus in a certain place, of the seventh day, And God rested on the seventh day from all his works: And in this again, They shall not enter into my rest.

entered not in because of unbelief, He again, after so long a time, fixeth a certain day, saying by David, To-day; as it was said before, To day, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

For if Joshua had given them the rest, he would not have afterward spoken of another day.

Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight; but all things are naked and opened to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

let us hold fast our profession, For we have not an high-priest who cannot sympathize with our infirmities, but who was in all points tempted like as we are: yet without sin.

Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest, but he that said to him, Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.

For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again, which are the first principles of the oracles of God, and are become such as have need of milk and not of strong meat.

Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on to perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works,

For God is not unrighteous, to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

That ye be not slothful, but followers of them, who through faith and long suffering inherited the promises.

But he whose pedigree is not from them, took tythes of Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises:

If then perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law) what farther need was there that another priest should rise, after the order of Melchisedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

And it is still far more evident, because another priest is raised up, after the likeness of Melchidek, Who was made not after the law of a carnal commandment,

And in as much as not without an oath he was made priest: (For those priests were made without an oath,

but this with an oath, by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchisedek:)

But this, because he continueth for ever, hath a priesthood that passeth not away.

Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for his own sins, then for those of the people: for this he did once for all, when he offered up himself.

A minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord hath fixed and not man.

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

Not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day when I took them by the hand, to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

And they shall not teach every one his neighbour, and every one his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least to the greatest.

But into the second, only the high-priest once a year, not without blood, which he offereth for himself and the errors of the people:

The Holy Ghost evidently shewing this, that the way into the holiest was not yet made manifest, while the first tabernacle was still subsisting,

Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, which could not perfect the worshiper as to his conscience,

not made with hands, that is, not of this building, And not by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, entered in once for all into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

For Christ did not enter into the holy place made with hands, the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.

For the law having a shadow of good things to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices which they offer year by year continually, make the comers thereunto perfect.

Otherwise would they not have ceased to be offered? Because the worshipers, having been once purged, would have had no more consciousness of sins.

Therefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou hast not chosen, but a body hast thou prepared for me.

Burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast not delighted in.

Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering, and burnt-offerings and offering for sin thou hast not chosen, neither delighted in, which are offered by the law:

Not forsaking the assembling ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another, and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.

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

For yet a little while, and he that cometh will come and will not tarry.

But we are not of them who draw back to perdition, but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

Now faith is the subsistence of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were made of things which do not appear.

By faith Enoch was translated so as not to see death, and was not found, because God had translated him; for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his houshold, by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

By faith Abraham, being called to go out into the place which he was to receive for an inheritance, obeyed and went out, not knowing whither he went.

All these died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and embraced them, and confest that they were strangers and sojourners on the earth.

But they now desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for he hath prepared a city for them.

By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months, by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child, and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.

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

By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with them that believed not, having received the spies with peace.

others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.

(Of whom the world was not worthy) they wandered in deserts, and mountains, and dens, and caves of the earth.

did not receive the promise, God having provided some better thing for us, that they might not be perfected without us.

Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.

And yet ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh to you as to sons, My son, despise not thou the chastning of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him.

If ye endure chastning, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he, whom his father chastneth not?

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

Moreover we have had fathers of our flesh who corrected us, and we reverenced them: Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?

Now all chastning for the present is assuredly not joyous, but grievous; yet afterwards it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness to them that are exercised thereby.

For ye are not come to the mountain that could be touched, and the burning fire,

and blackness, and darkness, and tempest, And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words, which they that heard intreated that the word might not be spoken to them any more.

For they could not bear that which was commanded, If even a beast touch the mountain, let it be stoned.

And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, which speaketh better things than that of Abel. See that ye refuse not him that speaketh:

for if they escaped not who refused him that delivered the oracle on earth, much more shall not we, who turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:

Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heaven.

And this word, Yet once more, sheweth the removal of the things which are shaken, as being made, that the things which are not shaken may remain.

Forget not to entertain strangers, for hereby some have entertained angels unawares.

Let your disposition be without covetousness: be content with the things that are present; for he hath said, No, I will not leave thee: verily I will not forsake thee.

So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper; I will not fear what man can do unto me.

Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines; for it is good, that the heart be stablished with grace, not with meats, in which they that have walked have not been profited.

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

Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves; for they watch over your souls, as they that must give account; that they may do this with joy, and not with groans: for that is unprofitable for you.
