And again: I will put my trust in him. And again: Behold I and my children, whom God hath given me.

Wherefore, it behoved him in all things to be made like unto his brethren, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest before God, that he might be a propitiation for the sins of the people.

For every house is built by some man: but he that created all things is God.

Forty years: for which cause I was offended with this generation, and I said: They always err in heart. And they have not known my ways.

As I have sworn in my wrath: If they shall enter into my rest.

Take heed, brethren, lest perhaps there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, to depart from the living God.

For we, who have believed, shall enter into rest; as he said: As I have sworn in my wrath: If they shall enter into my rest; and this indeed when the works from the foundation of the world were finished.

For in a certain place he spoke of the seventh day thus: And God rested the seventh day from all his works.

There remaineth therefore a day of rest for the people of God.

For he that is entered into his rest, the same also hath rested from his works, as God did from his.

For the word of God is living and effectual and more piercing than any two edged sword; and reaching unto the division of the soul and the spirit, of the joints also and the marrow: and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Having therefore a great high priest that hath passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God: let us hold fast our confession.

For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in the things that appertain to God, that he may offer up gifts and sacrifices for sins:

Neither doth any man take the honour to himself, but he that is called by God, as Aaron was.

So Christ also did not glorify himself, that he might be made a high priest: but he that said unto him: Thou art my Son: this day have I begotten thee.

Called by God a high priest, according to the order of Melchisedech.

For whereas for the time you ought to be masters, you have need to be taught again what are the first elements of the words of God: and you are become such as have need of milk and not of strong meat.

Wherefore, leaving the word of the beginning of Christ, let us go on to things more perfect: not laying again the foundation of penance from dead works and of faith towards God,

And this will we do, if God permit.

Have moreover tasted the good word of God and the powers of the world to come,

And are fallen away: to be renewed again to penance, crucifying again to themselves the Son of God and making him a mockery.

For the earth, that drinketh in the rain which cometh often upon it and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is tilled, receiveth blessing from God.

For God is not unjust, that he should forget your work and the love which you have shewn in his name, you who have ministered and do minister to the saints.

For God making promises to Abraham, because he had no one greater by whom he might swear, swore by himself,

Saying: Unless blessing I shall bless thee and multiplying I shall multiply thee.
