For to which of the angels did He say at any time, "You are My Son, this day I have begotten You?" And again, "I will be to Him a Father, and He shall be to Me a Son?"

But to which of the angels, did He say at any time, "Sit on My right hand until I make Your enemies Your footstool?"

Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by those who heard Him;

For He has not put in subjection to the angels the world to come, of which we speak.

For both He who sanctifies and they who are sanctified are all of One, for which cause He is not ashamed to call them brothers,

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

though being a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered.

(For the earth which drinks in the rain that comes often upon it, and brings forth plants fit for those by whom it is dressed, receives blessing from God.

But that which bears thorns and briers is rejected and is a curse, whose end is to be burned.)

For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

so that by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us,

which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters into that within the veil,

To him Abraham also gave a tenth of all. He was first by interpretation king of righteousness, and after that also king of Salem, which is king of peace,

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

For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Judah, of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.

For truly there is a putting away of the commandment which went before, because of the weakness and unprofitableness of it.

For the Law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did, by which we draw near to God.

Now the sum of the things which we have spoken is this: We have such a High Priest, who has sat down on the right of the throne of the Majesty in Heaven,

a Minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.

But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by so much He is also the Mediator of a better covenant, which was built upon better promises.

In that He says, A new covenant, He has made the first one old. Now that which decays and becomes old is ready to vanish away.

For the first tabernacle was prepared, in which was both the lampstand, and the table, and the setting out of the loaves, which is called Holies.

And after the second veil was a tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies,

having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant overlaid all around with gold, in which was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant.

And over it were the cherubs of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat (about which we cannot now speak piece by piece.

But once in the year into the second the high priest goes alone, not without blood, which he offered for himself and for the errors of the people)

For it was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices that could not make him who did the service perfect as regards the conscience,

which stood only in meats and drinks, and different kinds of washings and fleshly ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.

From which we see that neither was the first covenant dedicated without blood.

saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God has enjoined to you."

For Christ has not entered into the Holy of Holies made with hands, which are the figures of the true, but into Heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.

For the Law which has a shadow of good things to come, not the very image of the things, appearing year by year with the same sacrifices, which they offer continually, they are never able to perfect those drawing near.

Above, when He said, "Sacrifice and offering, and burnt offerings and offering for sin You did not desire, neither did You have pleasure in them" (which are offered according to the Law),

And indeed every priest stands daily ministering and offering often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.

by a new and living way which He has consecrated for us through the veil, that is to say, His flesh;

but a certain fearful looking for judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy of punishment, the one who has trampled the Son of God, and who has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

But call to memory the former days, in which (after you were illuminated) you endured a great fight of afflictions,

Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great recompense of reward.

By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts. And by it he, being dead, yet speaks.

By faith Noah, having been warned by God of things not yet seen, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out into a place which he was afterward going to receive for an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he went.

For he looked for a city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

Because of this came into being from one, and that of one having died, even as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.

And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from which they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.

By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, which the Egyptians attempting to do were drowned.

Therefore since we also are surrounded with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily besets us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons, "My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are rebuked by Him;

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

Because of this, straighten up the hands which hang down and the enfeebled knees.

And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way, but let it rather be healed.

Follow peace with all, and holiness, without which no one shall see the Lord;

and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words (which voice they who heard begged that a word should not be spoken to them any more,

And this word, "Yet once more," signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, so that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear,

Do not be carried about with different and strange doctrines, for it is good for the heart to be established with grace, not with foods, in which those who have walked in them were not helped.

We have an altar of which they have no right to eat, those who serve the tabernacle.

make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is well pleasing in His sight through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
