And, "Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth: And the heavens are the works of thy hands.

Are they not all spirits to do service, sent for to minister for their sakes, which shall be heirs of salvation?

For it became him - for whom are all things, and by whom are all things - after that he had brought many sons unto glory, that he should make the Lord of their salvation perfect through suffering.

Forasmuch as he that sanctifieth, and they which are sanctified, are all of one. For which cause's sake he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

For in that he himself suffered, and was tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

But Christ, as a son, hath rule over the house, whose house we are, so that we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of that hope, unto the end.

We are partakers of Christ, if we keep sure unto the end the beginning of the first substance,

Neither is there any creature invisible in the sight of it. For all things are naked and bare unto the eyes of him, of whom we speak.

For we have not a high priest, which cannot have compassion on our infirmities: but was in all points tempted, as we are: but yet without sin.

which can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the high way, because that he himself also is compassed with infirmity:

Whereof we have many things to say which are hard to be uttered: because ye are dull of hearing.

For when as concerning the time, ye ought to be teachers, yet have ye need again that we teach you the first principles of the word of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat:

But strong meat belongeth to them that are perfect, which through custom have their wits exercised, to judge both good and evil also.

which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast. Which hope also entereth in, into those things which are within the veil,

For he of whom these things are spoken, pertaineth unto another tribe, of which never man served at the altar.

For he were not a priest, if he were on the earth where are priests that according to the law offer gifts,

For the testament taketh authority when men are dead: For it is of no value as long as he that made it is alive.

And almost all things are, by the law, purged with blood, and without shedding of blood, is no remission.

It is then need that the similitudes of heavenly things, be purified with such things: but the heavenly things themselves are purified with better sacrifices than are those.

For Christ is not entered into the holy places, that are made with hands, which are but similitudes of true things: but is entered into very heaven, for to appear now in the sight of God for us.

Above when he had said, "sacrifice, and offering, and burnt sacrifices, and sin offerings thou wouldest not have, neither hast allowed" - which yet are offered by the law -

By the which will we are sanctified, by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

For with one offering hath he made perfect forever them that are sanctified.

Call to remembrance the days that are passed in the which, after ye had received light, ye endured a great fight in adversities,

We are not which withdraw ourselves unto damnation, but pertain to faith, to the winning of the soul.

Faith is a sure confidence of things which are hoped for, and a certainty of things which are not seen.

Through faith we understand that the world was ordained, by the word of God: and that things which are seen, were made of things which are not seen.

Wherefore let us also - seeing that we are compassed with so great a multitude of witnesses - lay away all that presseth down, and the sin that hangeth on us, and let us run with patience, unto the battle that is set before us,

If ye be not under correction - whereof all are partakers - then are ye bastards and not sons.

No manner chastising for the present time seemeth to be joyous, but grievous; nevertheless, afterward it bringeth the quiet fruit of righteousness unto them which are therein exercised.

For ye are not come unto the mount that can be touched, and unto burning fire, nor yet to mist and darkness and tempest of weather,

But ye are come unto the mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the celestial Jerusalem: and to an innumerable sight of angels,

and unto the congregation of the first born sons, which are written in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of just and perfect men:

No doubt the same that he sayeth, "yet once more," signifieth the removing away of those things which are shaken, as of things which have ended their course: that the things which are not shaken may remain.

Remember them that are in bonds, even as though ye were bound with them. Be mindful of them which are in adversity, as ye which are yet in your bodies.

For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest to purge sin, are burnt without the tents.
