Therefore truly a necessity for the patterns of things in the heavens to be purified with these; and the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

And the Yet once more, makes manifest the transferring the things shaken, as of things made, that the things not being shaken might remain.

God having foreseen something better for us, that without us they should not be completed.







And I drawing near to God, it is good for me: I put in the Lord Jehovah my refuge, to recount all thy works.

And Saul will say, We will go down after the rovers by night, and we will plunder among them till the light of the morning, and we will not leave a man among them. And they will say, Do all the good in thine eyes. And the priest will say, We will draw near here to God.

Therefore now no condemnation to them in Christ Jesus, walking not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus freed me from the law of sin and death. For the impossibility of the law, in that it was weak by the flesh, God having sent his own Son in the likeness of the flesh of sin, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: read more.
That the justification of the law be filled up in us, not walking according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.



For this has God completed to us, their children, having raised up Jesus; as it has also been written in the second Psalms, Thou art my Son; to day have I begotten thee. And that he raised him from the dead, no more about to return to corruption, so he said, That I will give you the holy, faithful things of David. For also in another, he says, Thou shalt not give thy Holy one to see corruption. read more.
For David, truly having served his own generation by the will of God, was set to sleep, and was added to his fathers, and saw corruption: But whom God raised up, he saw no corruption. Be it known therefore to you, men, brethren, that for him remission of sins is announced to you. And from all which ye could not be justified by Moses' law, every one believing in him is justified.

As Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for justice. Know ye therefore that they of faith, these are sons of Abraham. And the writing, foreseeing that of faith God justifies the nations, announced beforehand the good news to Abraham, That in thee shall all nations be praised. read more.
So that they of faith are praised with faithful Abraham. For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it has been written, Cursed every one who remains not in all written in the book of the law to do them. And that none is justified in the law before God, is manifest: for, The just shall live of faith.

For the law having a shadow of good things about to be, not the same image of the things, with these sacrifices which they bring in yearly in continuance never can render perfect them coming thereto. For would they not have ceased to be brought in? because they serving have no more consciousness of sins, once purified. But in these, a reminding of sins yearly. read more.
For the blood of bulls and he-goats cannot take away sins. Wherefore coming into the world, he says, Sacrifice and offering then wouldest not, but a body hast thou adjusted to me: And with whole burnt offering for sin wast thou not contented. Then said I, Behold, I am here (in the head of the book it was written of me,) O God, to do thy will. Farther back, saying, That sacrifice and bringing in and whole burnt offerings and for sin thou wouldest not, neither wert contented with; which are brought in according to law; Then he said, Behold, I am here to do, O God, thy will. He takes away the first, that he might set up the second. In which will we are consecrated by the bringing in of the body of Jesus Christ once. And truly every priest has stood daily, serving and bringing in many times the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this, having brought in one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God; As to the rest, awaiting till his enemies be put a footstool of his feet. For by one offering has he perfected forever the consecrated. And also the Holy Spirit testifies to us: for after having said before,




The enmity in his flesh, the law of commands in enactments, having left unemployed; that he might create in himself one new man, making peace;

For I through the law died to the law, that. I might live to God.

And we know that whatever says the law, it speaks to them in the law: that every mouth be shut, and all the world be culpable to God.




Addressed by God the chief priest according to the order of Melchisedec.

For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, having met Abraham returning from the cutting off of the kings, and praised him; To whom also Abraham divided a tenth from all; (first truly interpreted King of justice, and then also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; Without father, without mother, of unknown origin, neither having beginning of days, nor end of life; and likened to the Son of God;) remains a priest perpetually. read more.
And behold how great this one, to whom also Abraham the patriarch gave the tenth of the first fruits. And they truly of the sons of Levi, receiving the office of priest, have a command to take a tenth part from the people according to the law, that is, from their brethren, although having come out of the loins of Abraham: And he not having his descent traced from them received a tenth from Abraham, and praised him having the promises. And without all controversy the less is praised of the better. And here truly dying men receive tenths; but there he, bearing witness that he lives. And as the word says, through Abraham, also Levi, receiving tenths, has paid a tenth. For yet was he in his father's loins, when Melchisedec met him. If truly therefore completion were by the Levitical priesthood, (for the people received legislation by it,) what further need according to the order of Melchisedec for another priest to be raised, and not according to the order of Aaron? For the priesthood being transferred, of necessity also is a transposition of law. For he of whom these things are said partook of another tribe, of which none held to the altar. For it is manifest that our Lord has sprung out of Judah; to which tribe Moses spake nothing of the priesthood. And it is yet more abundantly manifest: that according to the resemblance of Melchisedec has another priest risen, Who according to the law of a fleshly command was not born, but according to the power of an indestructible life. For he testifies, Thou a priest forever, according to the order of Melchisedec. For there is truly an annulling of the command going before by its weakness and unprofitableness. (For the law completed nothing,) but the bringing in of a better hope; by which we draw near to God. And as much as not without sacrifice sanctioned by solemn oath: (For they truly without sacrifice sanctioned by solemn oath became priests; but he with the sacrifice sanctioned by solemn oath by him, saying to him, The Lord sware, and will not repent, Thou priest forever, according to the order of Melchisedec:)

Addressed by God the chief priest according to the order of Melchisedec. Of whom great is the word to us, and difficult of interpretation to speak, since ye have been sluggish in the hearing.

For this, thus said the Lord. Jehovah, Behold me placing for a foundation in Zion a stone, a stone of trial, a corner precious, a foundation being founded: and he believing shall not hasten.
