For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my son! Today I have fathered you"? And in another place he says, "I will be his father and he will be my son."

And in another place, "Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast founded the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands:

But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

He again sets a definite day, [a new] “Today,” [providing another opportunity to enter that rest by] saying through David after so long a time, just as has been said before [in the words already quoted],

“Today if you hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts.”

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

As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

of which we shall treat another time, if God permit.

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

For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.

And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,

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

For we know who it is that has said, "Vengeance belongs to me! I will pay back!" and in another place, "The Lord will be the judge of his people!"

See to it that no one falls short of God’s grace; that no root of resentment springs up and causes trouble, and by it many be defiled;

and to the noise of a trumpet, and to the sound of words which those who heard begged [that] not [another] word be spoken to them.

Continue to love [one another] as brothers.
