And again, when he is sending his only Son into the world, he says, Let all the angels of God give him worship.

And of the angels he says, Who makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire:

You have been a lover of righteousness and a hater of evil; and so God, your God, has put the oil of joy on your head more than on the heads of those who are with you.

But of which of the angels has he said at any time, Take your seat at my right hand till I put all those who are against you under your feet?

\w But|strong="G1161"\w* \w of|strong="G1537"\w* \w which|strong="G5101"\w* \w of|strong="G1537"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w angels|strong="G0032"\w* \w has|strong="G5101"\w* \w he|strong="G3004"\w* \w said|strong="G3004"\w* \w at|strong="G1537"\w* \w any|strong="G4218"\w* \w time|strong="G4218"\w*, \w Take|strong="G5087"\w* \w your|strong="G5087"\w* seat \w at|strong="G1537"\w* \w my|strong="G5087"\w* \w right|strong="G1188"\w* \w hand|strong="G1188"\w* till \w I|strong="G1473"\w* \w put|strong="G5087"\w* \w all|strong="G3588"\w* \w those|strong="G3588"\w* \w who|strong="G3588"\w* \w are|strong="G3588"\w* \w against|strong="G4314"\w* \w you|strong="G4771"\w* \w under|strong="G1537"\w* \w your|strong="G5087"\w* \w feet|strong="G4228"\w*? 

Are they not all helping spirits, who are sent out as servants to those whose heritage will be salvation?

For this reason there is the more need for us to give attention to the things which have come to our ears, for fear that by chance we might be slipping away.

\w For|strong="G1223"\w* \w this|strong="G3778"\w* \w reason|strong="G1223"\w* there \w is|strong="G3778"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w more|strong="G4056"\w* need \w for|strong="G1223"\w* \w us|strong="G0191"\w* \w to|strong="G1163"\w* \w give|strong="G0191"\w* \w attention|strong="G4337"\w* \w to|strong="G1163"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w things|strong="G3778"\w* \w which|strong="G3588"\w* \w have|strong="G1163"\w* \w come|strong="G0191"\w* \w to|strong="G1163"\w* \w our|strong="G1223"\w* \w ears|strong="G0191"\w*, \w for|strong="G1223"\w* fear \w that|strong="G0191"\w* \w by|strong="G1223"\w* chance \w we|strong="G2249"\w* \w might|strong="G1473"\w* \w be|strong="G1163"\w* slipping \w away|strong="G3901"\w*. 

Because if the word which came through the angels was fixed, and in the past every evil act against God's orders was given its full punishment;

\w Because|strong="G1223"\w* \w if|strong="G1487"\w* \w the|strong="G3956"\w* \w word|strong="G3056"\w* \w which|strong="G3588"\w* \w came|strong="G1096"\w* \w through|strong="G1223"\w* \w the|strong="G3956"\w* \w angels|strong="G0032"\w* \w was|strong="G3588"\w* fixed, \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w in|strong="G2532"\w* \w the|strong="G3956"\w* past \w every|strong="G3956"\w* evil act against God's \w orders|strong="G2983"\w* \w was|strong="G3588"\w* given \w its|strong="G3956"\w* \w full|strong="G3956"\w* punishment; 

What will come on us, if we do not give our minds to such a great salvation? a salvation of which our fathers first had knowledge through the words of the Lord, and which was made certain to us by those to whom his words came;

\w What|strong="G3588"\w* \w will|strong="G2962"\w* \w come|strong="G0191"\w* \w on|strong="G1519"\w* \w us|strong="G1519"\w*, \w if|strong="G3748"\w* \w we|strong="G2249"\w* \w do|strong="G2983"\w* \w not|strong="G1473"\w* \w give|strong="G0191"\w* \w our|strong="G1223"\w* minds \w to|strong="G1519"\w* such \w a|strong="G2983"\w* \w great|strong="G5082"\w* \w salvation|strong="G4991"\w*? \w a|strong="G2983"\w* \w salvation|strong="G4991"\w* \w of|strong="G1223"\w* \w which|strong="G3748"\w* \w our|strong="G1223"\w* fathers \w first|strong="G0746"\w* \w had|strong="G3748"\w* knowledge \w through|strong="G1223"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w words|strong="G0191"\w* \w of|strong="G1223"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w Lord|strong="G2962"\w*, \w and|strong="G2962"\w* \w which|strong="G3748"\w* \w was|strong="G3588"\w* \w made|strong="G2980"\w* certain \w to|strong="G1519"\w* \w us|strong="G1519"\w* \w by|strong="G5259"\w* \w those|strong="G3588"\w* \w to|strong="G1519"\w* \w whom|strong="G3588"\w* \w his|strong="G1223"\w* \w words|strong="G0191"\w* \w came|strong="G0191"\w*; 

And God was a witness with them, by signs and wonders, and by more than natural powers, and by his distribution of the Holy Spirit at his pleasure.

\w And|strong="G2532"\w* \w God|strong="G2316"\w* \w was|strong="G3588"\w* \w a|strong="G2532"\w* witness \w with|strong="G2316"\w* \w them|strong="G0846"\w*, \w by|strong="G2596"\w* \w signs|strong="G4592"\w* \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w wonders|strong="G5059"\w*, \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w by|strong="G2596"\w* \w more|strong="G2596"\w* \w than|strong="G2532"\w* natural \w powers|strong="G1411"\w*, \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w by|strong="G2596"\w* \w his|strong="G0846"\w* distribution \w of|strong="G4151"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w Holy|strong="G0040"\w* \w Spirit|strong="G4151"\w* \w at|strong="G2316"\w* \w his|strong="G0846"\w* pleasure. 

For he did not make the angels rulers over the world to come, of which I am writing.

\w For|strong="G1063"\w* \w he|strong="G3739"\w* did \w not|strong="G3756"\w* \w make|strong="G3756"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w angels|strong="G0032"\w* rulers \w over|strong="G4012"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w world|strong="G3625"\w* \w to|strong="G3195"\w* \w come|strong="G3195"\w*, \w of|strong="G4012"\w* \w which|strong="G3739"\w* \w I|strong="G3739"\w* \w am|strong="G3195"\w* writing. 

But a certain writer has given his witness, saying, What is man, that you keep him in mind? what is the son of man, that you take him into account?

\w But|strong="G1161"\w* \w a|strong="G1510"\w* \w certain|strong="G5100"\w* writer \w has|strong="G5101"\w* given \w his|strong="G0846"\w* witness, \w saying|strong="G3004"\w*, \w What|strong="G5101"\w* \w is|strong="G1510"\w* \w man|strong="G0444"\w*, \w that|strong="G3754"\w* \w you|strong="G3754"\w* keep \w him|strong="G0846"\w* \w in|strong="G3004"\w* mind? \w what|strong="G5101"\w* \w is|strong="G1510"\w* \w the|strong="G1161"\w* \w son|strong="G5207"\w* \w of|strong="G5207"\w* \w man|strong="G0444"\w*, \w that|strong="G3754"\w* \w you|strong="G3754"\w* take \w him|strong="G0846"\w* \w into|strong="G0444"\w* account? 

You made him a little lower than the angels; you gave him a crown of glory and honour, and made him ruler over all the works of your hands:

You put all things under his feet. For in making man the ruler over all things, God did not put anything outside his authority; though we do not see everything under him now.

\w You|strong="G1722"\w* \w put|strong="G5293"\w* \w all|strong="G3956"\w* \w things|strong="G3956"\w* \w under|strong="G5270"\w* \w his|strong="G0846"\w* \w feet|strong="G4228"\w*. \w For|strong="G1063"\w* \w in|strong="G1722"\w* making \w man|strong="G3762"\w* \w the|strong="G3956"\w* ruler \w over|strong="G1722"\w* \w all|strong="G3956"\w* \w things|strong="G3956"\w*, \w God|strong="G0846"\w* \w did|strong="G3708"\w* \w not|strong="G3762"\w* \w put|strong="G5293"\w* \w anything|strong="G3762"\w* outside \w his|strong="G0846"\w* authority; \w though|strong="G1161"\w* \w we|strong="G1161"\w* \w do|strong="G3708"\w* \w not|strong="G3762"\w* \w see|strong="G3708"\w* \w everything|strong="G3956"\w* \w under|strong="G5270"\w* \w him|strong="G0846"\w* \w now|strong="G1161"\w*. 

But we see him who was made a little lower than the angels, even Jesus, crowned with glory and honour, because he let himself be put to death so that by the grace of God he might undergo death for all men.

\w But|strong="G1161"\w* \w we|strong="G2532"\w* \w see|strong="G0991"\w* \w him|strong="G2532"\w* \w who|strong="G3588"\w* \w was|strong="G2424"\w* \w made|strong="G1642"\w* \w a|strong="G2532"\w* \w little|strong="G1024"\w* \w lower|strong="G1642"\w* \w than|strong="G3844"\w* \w the|strong="G3956"\w* \w angels|strong="G0032"\w*, \w even|strong="G2532"\w* \w Jesus|strong="G2424"\w*, \w crowned|strong="G4737"\w* \w with|strong="G3844"\w* \w glory|strong="G1391"\w* \w and|strong="G2532"\w* honour, \w because|strong="G1223"\w* \w he|strong="G2532"\w* let himself \w be|strong="G2532"\w* put \w to|strong="G2532"\w* \w death|strong="G2288"\w* \w so|strong="G2532"\w* \w that|strong="G3704"\w* \w by|strong="G1223"\w* \w the|strong="G3956"\w* \w grace|strong="G5485"\w* \w of|strong="G1223"\w* \w God|strong="G2316"\w* \w he|strong="G2532"\w* \w might|strong="G2532"\w* undergo \w death|strong="G2288"\w* \w for|strong="G5228"\w* \w all|strong="G3956"\w* \w men|strong="G3956"\w*. 

Because it was right for him, for whom and through whom all things have being, in guiding his sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation complete through pain.

For he who makes holy and those who are made holy are all of one family; and for this reason it is no shame for him to give them the name of brothers,

And again he says, I will put my faith in him. And again, See, I am here, and the children which God has given to me.

And because the children are flesh and blood, he took a body himself and became like them; so that by his death he might put an end to him who had the power of death, that is to say, the Evil One;

For, truly, he does not take on the life of angels, but that of the seed of Abraham.

Because of this it was necessary for him to be made like his brothers in every way, so that he might be a high priest full of mercy and keeping faith in everything to do with God, making offerings for the sins of the people.

\w Because|strong="G4314"\w* \w of|strong="G2316"\w* \w this|strong="G3588"\w* \w it|strong="G2532"\w* \w was|strong="G3588"\w* \w necessary|strong="G3784"\w* \w for|strong="G1519"\w* \w him|strong="G2532"\w* \w to|strong="G1519"\w* \w be|strong="G1096"\w* \w made|strong="G1096"\w* \w like|strong="G2596"\w* \w his|strong="G3956"\w* \w brothers|strong="G0080"\w* \w in|strong="G1519"\w* \w every|strong="G3956"\w* \w way|strong="G2596"\w*, \w so|strong="G2443"\w* \w that|strong="G2443"\w* \w he|strong="G2532"\w* \w might|strong="G2532"\w* \w be|strong="G1096"\w* \w a|strong="G1096"\w* \w high|strong="G0749"\w* \w priest|strong="G0749"\w* \w full|strong="G3956"\w* \w of|strong="G2316"\w* mercy \w and|strong="G2532"\w* keeping faith \w in|strong="G1519"\w* \w everything|strong="G3956"\w* \w to|strong="G1519"\w* \w do|strong="G1096"\w* \w with|strong="G4314"\w* \w God|strong="G2316"\w*, making offerings \w for|strong="G1519"\w* \w the|strong="G3956"\w* \w sins|strong="G0266"\w* \w of|strong="G2316"\w* \w the|strong="G3956"\w* \w people|strong="G2992"\w*. 

For having been put to the test himself, he is able to give help to others when they are tested.

\w For|strong="G1063"\w* having been \w put|strong="G3985"\w* \w to|strong="G1410"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w test|strong="G3985"\w* \w himself|strong="G0846"\w*, \w he|strong="G0846"\w* \w is|strong="G3739"\w* \w able|strong="G1410"\w* \w to|strong="G1410"\w* give \w help|strong="G0997"\w* \w to|strong="G1410"\w* \w others|strong="G3588"\w* \w when|strong="G1722"\w* \w they|strong="G0846"\w* \w are|strong="G3739"\w* \w tested|strong="G3985"\w*. 

For this reason, holy brothers, marked out to have a part in heaven, give thought to Jesus the representative and high priest of our faith;

\w For|strong="G2532"\w* \w this|strong="G3588"\w* reason, \w holy|strong="G0040"\w* \w brothers|strong="G0080"\w*, marked out \w to|strong="G2532"\w* \w have|strong="G2532"\w* \w a|strong="G2532"\w* \w part|strong="G1473"\w* \w in|strong="G2532"\w* \w heaven|strong="G2032"\w*, give thought \w to|strong="G2532"\w* \w Jesus|strong="G2424"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* representative \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w high|strong="G0749"\w* \w priest|strong="G0749"\w* \w of|strong="G0652"\w* \w our|strong="G2424"\w* faith; 

Who kept faith with God who gave him his place, even as Moses did in all his house.

\w Who|strong="G3588"\w* \w kept|strong="G4160"\w* faith \w with|strong="G1722"\w* \w God|strong="G0846"\w* \w who|strong="G3588"\w* \w gave|strong="G4160"\w* \w him|strong="G0846"\w* \w his|strong="G0846"\w* \w place|strong="G3624"\w*, \w even|strong="G2532"\w* \w as|strong="G5613"\w* \w Moses|strong="G3475"\w* \w did|strong="G4160"\w* \w in|strong="G1722"\w* \w all|strong="G3650"\w* \w his|strong="G0846"\w* \w house|strong="G3624"\w*. 

And it was right for this man to have more honour than Moses, even as the builder of a house has more honour than the house.

\w And|strong="G1391"\w* \w it|strong="G0846"\w* \w was|strong="G3588"\w* right \w for|strong="G1063"\w* \w this|strong="G3778"\w* \w man|strong="G3778"\w* \w to|strong="G2596"\w* \w have|strong="G2192"\w* \w more|strong="G4183"\w* honour \w than|strong="G3844"\w* \w Moses|strong="G3475"\w*, \w even|strong="G1063"\w* \w as|strong="G3745"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w builder|strong="G2680"\w* \w of|strong="G3624"\w* \w a|strong="G2192"\w* \w house|strong="G3624"\w* \w has|strong="G2192"\w* \w more|strong="G4183"\w* honour \w than|strong="G3844"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w house|strong="G3624"\w*. 

For every house has a builder; but the builder of all things is God.

\w For|strong="G1063"\w* \w every|strong="G3956"\w* \w house|strong="G3624"\w* \w has|strong="G2316"\w* \w a|strong="G5259"\w* \w builder|strong="G2680"\w*; \w but|strong="G1161"\w* \w the|strong="G3956"\w* \w builder|strong="G2680"\w* \w of|strong="G2316"\w* \w all|strong="G3956"\w* \w things|strong="G3956"\w* \w is|strong="G2316"\w* \w God|strong="G2316"\w*. 

And Moses certainly kept faith as a servant, in all his house, and as a witness of those things which were to be said later;

\w And|strong="G2532"\w* \w Moses|strong="G3475"\w* \w certainly|strong="G3303"\w* kept \w faith|strong="G2980"\w* \w as|strong="G5613"\w* \w a|strong="G5613"\w* \w servant|strong="G2324"\w*, \w in|strong="G1722"\w* \w all|strong="G3650"\w* \w his|strong="G0846"\w* \w house|strong="G3624"\w*, \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w as|strong="G5613"\w* \w a|strong="G5613"\w* \w witness|strong="G3142"\w* \w of|strong="G3624"\w* \w those|strong="G3588"\w* \w things|strong="G0846"\w* \w which|strong="G3588"\w* \w were|strong="G3588"\w* \w to|strong="G1519"\w* \w be|strong="G2532"\w* \w said|strong="G2980"\w* later; 

But Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we keep our hearts fixed in the glad and certain hope till the end.

\w But|strong="G1161"\w* \w Christ|strong="G5547"\w* \w as|strong="G5613"\w* \w a|strong="G5613"\w* \w son|strong="G5207"\w*, \w over|strong="G1909"\w* \w his|strong="G0846"\w* \w house|strong="G3624"\w*; \w whose|strong="G3739"\w* \w house|strong="G3624"\w* \w are|strong="G1510"\w* \w we|strong="G2249"\w*, \w if|strong="G1437"\w* \w we|strong="G2249"\w* \w keep|strong="G2722"\w* \w our|strong="G5547"\w* hearts fixed \w in|strong="G1909"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* glad \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w certain|strong="G0949"\w* \w hope|strong="G1680"\w* till \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w end|strong="G5056"\w*. 

And so, as the Holy Spirit says, Today if you let his voice come to your ears,

\w And|strong="G4151"\w* \w so|strong="G1352"\w*, \w as|strong="G2531"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w Holy|strong="G0040"\w* \w Spirit|strong="G4151"\w* \w says|strong="G3004"\w*, \w Today|strong="G4594"\w* \w if|strong="G1437"\w* \w you|strong="G1437"\w* \w let|strong="G3004"\w* \w his|strong="G0846"\w* \w voice|strong="G5456"\w* \w come|strong="G0191"\w* \w to|strong="G3004"\w* \w your|strong="G1437"\w* \w ears|strong="G0191"\w*,

So that I was angry with this generation, and I said, Their hearts are in error at all times, and they have no knowledge of my ways;

My brothers, take care that there is not by chance in any one of you an evil heart without belief, turning away from the living God:

But give comfort to one another every day as long as it is still Today; so that no one among you may be made hard by the deceit of sin:

\w But|strong="G0235"\w* \w give|strong="G2564"\w* \w comfort|strong="G3870"\w* \w to|strong="G2443"\w* \w one|strong="G5100"\w* \w another|strong="G1438"\w* \w every|strong="G2596"\w* \w day|strong="G2250"\w* \w as|strong="G2596"\w* \w long|strong="G2250"\w* \w as|strong="G2596"\w* \w it|strong="G3739"\w* \w is|strong="G3739"\w* still \w Today|strong="G4594"\w*; \w so|strong="G2443"\w* \w that|strong="G3739"\w* \w no|strong="G3361"\w* \w one|strong="G5100"\w* \w among|strong="G1537"\w* \w you|strong="G5210"\w* \w may|strong="G2443"\w* \w be|strong="G5100"\w* made hard \w by|strong="G1537"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w deceit|strong="G0539"\w* \w of|strong="G1537"\w* \w sin|strong="G0266"\w*:

As it is said, Today if you will let his voice come to your ears, be not hard of heart, as when you made him angry.

\w As|strong="G5613"\w* \w it|strong="G0846"\w* \w is|strong="G3588"\w* \w said|strong="G3004"\w*, \w Today|strong="G4594"\w* \w if|strong="G1437"\w* \w you|strong="G5210"\w* \w will|strong="G0191"\w* \w let|strong="G3004"\w* \w his|strong="G0846"\w* \w voice|strong="G5456"\w* \w come|strong="G0191"\w* \w to|strong="G3004"\w* \w your|strong="G1437"\w* \w ears|strong="G0191"\w*, \w be|strong="G2588"\w* \w not|strong="G3361"\w* hard \w of|strong="G5456"\w* \w heart|strong="G2588"\w*, \w as|strong="G5613"\w* \w when|strong="G5613"\w* \w you|strong="G5210"\w* \w made|strong="G3004"\w* \w him|strong="G0846"\w* angry. 

Who made him angry when his voice came to them? was it not all those who came out of Egypt with Moses?

\w Who|strong="G3588"\w* made \w him|strong="G0191"\w* angry \w when|strong="G0191"\w* \w his|strong="G3956"\w* voice \w came|strong="G1831"\w* \w to|strong="G5101"\w* \w them|strong="G0191"\w*? \w was|strong="G3588"\w* \w it|strong="G1223"\w* \w not|strong="G3756"\w* \w all|strong="G3956"\w* \w those|strong="G3588"\w* \w who|strong="G3588"\w* \w came|strong="G1831"\w* \w out|strong="G1831"\w* \w of|strong="G1537"\w* \w Egypt|strong="G0125"\w* \w with|strong="G1537"\w* \w Moses|strong="G3475"\w*? 

And with whom was he angry for forty years? was it not with those who did evil, who came to their deaths in the waste land?

\w And|strong="G1161"\w* \w with|strong="G1722"\w* \w whom|strong="G3739"\w* \w was|strong="G3739"\w* \w he|strong="G3739"\w* \w angry|strong="G4360"\w* \w for|strong="G1722"\w* \w forty|strong="G5062"\w* \w years|strong="G2094"\w*? \w was|strong="G3739"\w* \w it|strong="G1161"\w* \w not|strong="G3780"\w* \w with|strong="G1722"\w* \w those|strong="G3588"\w* \w who|strong="G3739"\w* \w did|strong="G5101"\w* evil, \w who|strong="G3739"\w* \w came|strong="G4098"\w* \w to|strong="G1722"\w* \w their|strong="G1722"\w* deaths \w in|strong="G1722"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* waste land? 

And to whom did he make an oath that they might not come into his rest? was it not to those who went against his orders?

\w And|strong="G1161"\w* \w to|strong="G1519"\w* \w whom|strong="G5101"\w* \w did|strong="G1525"\w* \w he|strong="G0846"\w* \w make|strong="G3660"\w* \w an|strong="G3660"\w* \w oath|strong="G3660"\w* \w that|strong="G0846"\w* \w they|strong="G0846"\w* might \w not|strong="G3361"\w* \w come|strong="G1525"\w* \w into|strong="G1519"\w* \w his|strong="G0846"\w* \w rest|strong="G2663"\w*? \w was|strong="G3588"\w* \w it|strong="G0846"\w* \w not|strong="G3361"\w* \w to|strong="G1519"\w* \w those|strong="G3588"\w* \w who|strong="G3588"\w* \w went|strong="G1525"\w* \w against|strong="G1519"\w* \w his|strong="G0846"\w* orders? 

So we see that they were not able to go in because they had no belief.

\w So|strong="G2532"\w* \w we|strong="G2532"\w* \w see|strong="G0991"\w* \w that|strong="G3754"\w* \w they|strong="G2532"\w* \w were|strong="G3748"\w* \w not|strong="G3756"\w* \w able|strong="G1410"\w* \w to|strong="G1410"\w* \w go|strong="G1525"\w* \w in|strong="G2532"\w* \w because|strong="G3754"\w* \w they|strong="G2532"\w* \w had|strong="G3748"\w* \w no|strong="G3756"\w* belief. 

Let us then, though we still have God's word that we may come into his rest, go in fear that some of you may be unable to do so.

\w Let|strong="G3767"\w* \w us|strong="G1519"\w* \w then|strong="G3767"\w*, though \w we|strong="G3767"\w* still \w have|strong="G5100"\w* God's word \w that|strong="G0846"\w* \w we|strong="G3767"\w* \w may|strong="G5100"\w* \w come|strong="G1525"\w* \w into|strong="G1519"\w* \w his|strong="G0846"\w* \w rest|strong="G2663"\w*, \w go|strong="G1525"\w* \w in|strong="G1519"\w* \w fear|strong="G5399"\w* \w that|strong="G0846"\w* \w some|strong="G5100"\w* \w of|strong="G1537"\w* \w you|strong="G5210"\w* \w may|strong="G5100"\w* \w be|strong="G3767"\w* unable \w to|strong="G1519"\w* \w do|strong="G5399"\w* \w so|strong="G3767"\w*. 

And, truly, the good news came to us, even as it did to them; but the hearing of the word did them no good, because they were not united in faith with the true hearers.

\w And|strong="G2532"\w*, truly, \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w good|strong="G2097"\w* \w news|strong="G2097"\w* \w came|strong="G0191"\w* \w to|strong="G2532"\w* \w us|strong="G2097"\w*, \w even|strong="G2532"\w* \w as|strong="G2509"\w* \w it|strong="G0191"\w* \w did|strong="G0191"\w* \w to|strong="G2532"\w* \w them|strong="G0191"\w*; \w but|strong="G0235"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w hearing|strong="G0191"\w* \w of|strong="G3056"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w word|strong="G3056"\w* \w did|strong="G0191"\w* \w them|strong="G0191"\w* \w no|strong="G3756"\w* \w good|strong="G2097"\w*, \w because|strong="G1063"\w* \w they|strong="G2532"\w* \w were|strong="G1510"\w* \w not|strong="G3756"\w* \w united|strong="G4786"\w* \w in|strong="G2532"\w* \w faith|strong="G4102"\w* \w with|strong="G2532"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* true \w hearers|strong="G0191"\w*. 

For those of us who have belief come into his rest; even as he has said, As I said in my oath when I was angry, They may not come into my rest: though the works were done from the time of the making of the world.

\w For|strong="G1063"\w* \w those|strong="G3588"\w* \w of|strong="G0575"\w* \w us|strong="G3004"\w* \w who|strong="G3588"\w* \w have|strong="G1473"\w* belief \w come|strong="G1096"\w* \w into|strong="G1519"\w* \w his|strong="G5613"\w* \w rest|strong="G2663"\w*; \w even|strong="G1063"\w* \w as|strong="G5613"\w* \w he|strong="G3004"\w* \w has|strong="G1096"\w* \w said|strong="G3004"\w*, \w As|strong="G5613"\w* \w I|strong="G1473"\w* \w said|strong="G3004"\w* \w in|strong="G1722"\w* \w my|strong="G1525"\w* \w oath|strong="G3660"\w* \w when|strong="G5613"\w* \w I|strong="G1473"\w* \w was|strong="G3588"\w* angry, \w They|strong="G3004"\w* \w may|strong="G2889"\w* \w not|strong="G1473"\w* \w come|strong="G1096"\w* \w into|strong="G1519"\w* \w my|strong="G1525"\w* \w rest|strong="G2663"\w*: \w though|strong="G5613"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w works|strong="G2041"\w* \w were|strong="G1096"\w* \w done|strong="G1096"\w* \w from|strong="G0575"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* time \w of|strong="G0575"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* making \w of|strong="G0575"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w world|strong="G2889"\w*. 

For in one place he has said of the seventh day, And God had rest from all his works on the seventh day;

\w For|strong="G1063"\w* \w in|strong="G1722"\w* \w one|strong="G3588"\w* \w place|strong="G4226"\w* \w he|strong="G2532"\w* \w has|strong="G2316"\w* \w said|strong="G3004"\w* \w of|strong="G2250"\w* \w the|strong="G3956"\w* \w seventh|strong="G1442"\w* \w day|strong="G2250"\w*, \w And|strong="G2532"\w* \w God|strong="G2316"\w* \w had|strong="G2316"\w* \w rest|strong="G2664"\w* \w from|strong="G0575"\w* \w all|strong="G3956"\w* \w his|strong="G0846"\w* \w works|strong="G2041"\w* \w on|strong="G1722"\w* \w the|strong="G3956"\w* \w seventh|strong="G1442"\w* \w day|strong="G2250"\w*; 

And in the same place he says again, They will not come into my rest.

\w And|strong="G2532"\w* \w in|strong="G1722"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w same|strong="G3778"\w* \w place|strong="G1722"\w* \w he|strong="G2532"\w* says \w again|strong="G3825"\w*, \w They|strong="G2532"\w* \w will|strong="G3778"\w* \w not|strong="G2532"\w* \w come|strong="G1525"\w* \w into|strong="G1519"\w* \w my|strong="G1525"\w* \w rest|strong="G2663"\w*. 

So that as it is clear that some have to go in, and that the first hearers of the good news were not able to go in because they went against God's orders,

\w So|strong="G3767"\w* \w that|strong="G0846"\w* \w as|strong="G1519"\w* \w it|strong="G0846"\w* \w is|strong="G5100"\w* clear \w that|strong="G0846"\w* \w some|strong="G5100"\w* \w have|strong="G2532"\w* \w to|strong="G1519"\w* \w go|strong="G1525"\w* \w in|strong="G1519"\w*, \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w that|strong="G0846"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w first|strong="G4387"\w* hearers \w of|strong="G1223"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w good|strong="G2097"\w* \w news|strong="G2097"\w* \w were|strong="G3588"\w* \w not|strong="G3756"\w* able \w to|strong="G1519"\w* \w go|strong="G1525"\w* \w in|strong="G1519"\w* \w because|strong="G1223"\w* \w they|strong="G0846"\w* \w went|strong="G1525"\w* \w against|strong="G1519"\w* God's orders, 

After a long time, again naming a certain day, he says in David, Today (as he had said before), Today if you will let his voice come to your ears, be not hard of heart,

\w After|strong="G3326"\w* \w a|strong="G1437"\w* \w long|strong="G5550"\w* \w time|strong="G5550"\w*, \w again|strong="G3825"\w* naming \w a|strong="G1437"\w* \w certain|strong="G5100"\w* \w day|strong="G2250"\w*, \w he|strong="G0846"\w* \w says|strong="G3004"\w* \w in|strong="G1722"\w* \w David|strong="G1138"\w*, \w Today|strong="G4594"\w* (\w as|strong="G2531"\w* \w he|strong="G0846"\w* \w had|strong="G3588"\w* \w said|strong="G3004"\w* \w before|strong="G1722"\w*), \w Today|strong="G4594"\w* \w if|strong="G1437"\w* \w you|strong="G5210"\w* \w will|strong="G2250"\w* \w let|strong="G3004"\w* \w his|strong="G0846"\w* \w voice|strong="G5456"\w* \w come|strong="G0191"\w* \w to|strong="G3004"\w* \w your|strong="G1437"\w* \w ears|strong="G0191"\w*, \w be|strong="G3326"\w* \w not|strong="G3361"\w* hard \w of|strong="G2250"\w* \w heart|strong="G2588"\w*, 

For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have said anything about another day.

\w For|strong="G1063"\w* \w if|strong="G1487"\w* \w Joshua|strong="G2424"\w* \w had|strong="G2424"\w* \w given|strong="G2664"\w* \w them|strong="G0846"\w* \w rest|strong="G2664"\w*, \w he|strong="G0846"\w* \w would|strong="G0302"\w* \w not|strong="G3756"\w* \w have|strong="G0243"\w* \w said|strong="G2980"\w* anything \w about|strong="G4012"\w* \w another|strong="G0243"\w* \w day|strong="G2250"\w*.

For the man who comes into his rest has had rest from his works, as God did from his.

\w For|strong="G1063"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w man|strong="G2316"\w* \w who|strong="G3588"\w* \w comes|strong="G1525"\w* \w into|strong="G1519"\w* \w his|strong="G0846"\w* \w rest|strong="G2663"\w* \w has|strong="G2316"\w* \w had|strong="G2316"\w* \w rest|strong="G2663"\w* \w from|strong="G0575"\w* \w his|strong="G0846"\w* \w works|strong="G2041"\w*, \w as|strong="G1519"\w* \w God|strong="G2316"\w* \w did|strong="G1525"\w* \w from|strong="G0575"\w* \w his|strong="G0846"\w*. 

Because of this, let us have a strong desire to come into that rest, and let no one go after the example of those who went against God's orders.

\w Because|strong="G1722"\w* \w of|strong="G5100"\w* \w this|strong="G3588"\w*, \w let|strong="G2443"\w* \w us|strong="G1519"\w* \w have|strong="G5100"\w* \w a|strong="G1525"\w* strong desire \w to|strong="G1519"\w* \w come|strong="G1525"\w* \w into|strong="G1519"\w* \w that|strong="G2443"\w* \w rest|strong="G2663"\w*, \w and|strong="G0846"\w* \w let|strong="G2443"\w* \w no|strong="G3361"\w* \w one|strong="G5100"\w* \w go|strong="G1525"\w* \w after|strong="G3767"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w example|strong="G5262"\w* \w of|strong="G5100"\w* \w those|strong="G3588"\w* \w who|strong="G3588"\w* \w went|strong="G1525"\w* \w against|strong="G1519"\w* God's \w orders|strong="G2443"\w*. 

For the word of God is living and full of power, and is sharper than any two-edged sword, cutting through and making a division even of the soul and the spirit, the bones and the muscles, and quick to see the thoughts and purposes of the heart.

\w For|strong="G1063"\w* \w the|strong="G3956"\w* \w word|strong="G3056"\w* \w of|strong="G3056"\w* \w God|strong="G2316"\w* \w is|strong="G2316"\w* \w living|strong="G2198"\w* \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w full|strong="G3956"\w* \w of|strong="G3056"\w* power, \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w is|strong="G2316"\w* \w sharper|strong="G5114"\w* \w than|strong="G5228"\w* \w any|strong="G3956"\w* \w two-edged|strong="G1366"\w* \w sword|strong="G3162"\w*, cutting through \w and|strong="G2532"\w* making \w a|strong="G2532"\w* \w division|strong="G3311"\w* \w even|strong="G2532"\w* \w of|strong="G3056"\w* \w the|strong="G3956"\w* \w soul|strong="G5590"\w* \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w the|strong="G3956"\w* \w spirit|strong="G4151"\w*, \w the|strong="G3956"\w* bones \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w the|strong="G3956"\w* muscles, \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w quick|strong="G2588"\w* \w to|strong="G2532"\w* see \w the|strong="G3956"\w* \w thoughts|strong="G1761"\w* \w and|strong="G2532"\w* purposes \w of|strong="G3056"\w* \w the|strong="G3956"\w* \w heart|strong="G2588"\w*. 

And there is nothing made which is not completely clear to him; there is nothing covered, but all things are open to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

For we have not a high priest who is not able to be touched by the feelings of our feeble flesh; but we have one who has been tested in all points as we ourselves are tested, but without sin.

Every high priest who is taken from among men is given his position to take care of the interests of men in those things which have to do with God, so that he may make offerings for sins.

He is able to have feeling for those who have no knowledge and for those who are wandering from the true way, because he himself is feeble;

\w He|strong="G2532"\w* \w is|strong="G3588"\w* \w able|strong="G1410"\w* \w to|strong="G1410"\w* \w have|strong="G2532"\w* feeling \w for|strong="G2532"\w* \w those|strong="G3588"\w* \w who|strong="G3588"\w* \w have|strong="G2532"\w* \w no|strong="G0050"\w* \w knowledge|strong="G0050"\w* \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w for|strong="G2532"\w* \w those|strong="G3588"\w* \w who|strong="G3588"\w* \w are|strong="G3588"\w* \w wandering|strong="G4105"\w* \w from|strong="G2532"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* true \w way|strong="G0846"\w*, \w because|strong="G1893"\w* \w he|strong="G2532"\w* \w himself|strong="G0846"\w* \w is|strong="G3588"\w* feeble; 

And being feeble, he has to make sin-offerings for himself as well as for the people.

And though by this time it would be right for you to be teachers, you still have need of someone to give you teaching about the first simple rules of God's revelation; you have become like babies who have need of milk, and not of solid food.

For God is true, and will not put away from him the memory of your work and of your love for his name, in the help which you gave and still give to the saints.

And it is our desire that you may all keep the same high purpose in certain hope to the end:

So that you may not be slow in heart, but may take as your example those to whom God has given their heritage, because of their faith and their long waiting.

\w So|strong="G2443"\w* \w that|strong="G2443"\w* \w you|strong="G2532"\w* \w may|strong="G2532"\w* \w not|strong="G3361"\w* \w be|strong="G1096"\w* slow \w in|strong="G2532"\w* heart, \w but|strong="G1161"\w* \w may|strong="G2532"\w* \w take|strong="G1096"\w* \w as|strong="G1096"\w* \w your|strong="G2532"\w* example \w those|strong="G3588"\w* \w to|strong="G2443"\w* \w whom|strong="G3588"\w* God \w has|strong="G4102"\w* given \w their|strong="G2532"\w* heritage, \w because|strong="G1223"\w* \w of|strong="G1223"\w* \w their|strong="G2532"\w* \w faith|strong="G4102"\w* \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w their|strong="G2532"\w* long waiting. 

For when God made his oath to Abraham, because there was no greater oath, he made it by himself,

\w For|strong="G1063"\w* \w when|strong="G2596"\w* \w God|strong="G2316"\w* \w made|strong="G1861"\w* \w his|strong="G1438"\w* \w oath|strong="G3660"\w* \w to|strong="G2596"\w* \w Abraham|strong="G0011"\w*, \w because|strong="G1063"\w* \w there|strong="G2596"\w* \w was|strong="G3588"\w* \w no|strong="G3762"\w* \w greater|strong="G3173"\w* \w oath|strong="G3660"\w*, \w he|strong="G2192"\w* \w made|strong="G1861"\w* \w it|strong="G1893"\w* \w by|strong="G2596"\w* \w himself|strong="G1438"\w*, 

Saying, Be certain that I will give you my blessing, and make your numbers very great.

\w Saying|strong="G3004"\w*, \w Be|strong="G2532"\w* certain \w that|strong="G3004"\w* \w I|strong="G2532"\w* \w will|strong="G2532"\w* \w give|strong="G3004"\w* \w you|strong="G4771"\w* \w my|strong="G3004"\w* \w blessing|strong="G2127"\w*, \w and|strong="G2532"\w* make \w your|strong="G1487"\w* numbers \w very|strong="G2532"\w* great. 

And so, when he had been waiting calmly for a long time, God's word to him was put into effect.

\w And|strong="G2532"\w* \w so|strong="G2532"\w*, \w when|strong="G2532"\w* \w he|strong="G2532"\w* \w had|strong="G3588"\w* \w been|strong="G2532"\w* waiting calmly \w for|strong="G2532"\w* \w a|strong="G3779"\w* \w long|strong="G3114"\w* time, God's word \w to|strong="G2532"\w* \w him|strong="G2532"\w* \w was|strong="G3588"\w* put into \w effect|strong="G3779"\w*. 

For men at all times make their oaths by what is greater; and any argument is ended by the decision of the oath.

\w For|strong="G1063"\w* \w men|strong="G0444"\w* \w at|strong="G1519"\w* \w all|strong="G3956"\w* times \w make|strong="G3660"\w* \w their|strong="G0846"\w* \w oaths|strong="G3727"\w* \w by|strong="G2596"\w* \w what|strong="G3588"\w* \w is|strong="G0444"\w* \w greater|strong="G3173"\w*; \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w any|strong="G3956"\w* argument \w is|strong="G0444"\w* ended \w by|strong="G2596"\w* \w the|strong="G3956"\w* decision \w of|strong="G3956"\w* \w the|strong="G3956"\w* \w oath|strong="G3727"\w*. 

So that when it was God's desire to make it specially clear to those who by his word were to have the heritage, that his purpose was fixed, he made it more certain with an oath;

\w So|strong="G3739"\w* \w that|strong="G3739"\w* \w when|strong="G1722"\w* \w it|strong="G0846"\w* \w was|strong="G3739"\w* God's \w desire|strong="G1014"\w* \w to|strong="G1722"\w* make \w it|strong="G0846"\w* specially clear \w to|strong="G1722"\w* \w those|strong="G3588"\w* \w who|strong="G3739"\w* \w by|strong="G1722"\w* \w his|strong="G0846"\w* word \w were|strong="G3739"\w* \w to|strong="G1722"\w* \w have|strong="G3588"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* heritage, \w that|strong="G3739"\w* \w his|strong="G0846"\w* \w purpose|strong="G1012"\w* \w was|strong="G3739"\w* fixed, \w he|strong="G0846"\w* made \w it|strong="G0846"\w* more certain \w with|strong="G1722"\w* \w an|strong="G3739"\w* \w oath|strong="G3727"\w*; 

So that we, who have gone in flight from danger to the hope which has been put before us, may have a strong comfort in two unchanging things, in which it is not possible for God to be false;

\w So|strong="G2443"\w* \w that|strong="G3739"\w* \w we|strong="G3739"\w*, \w who|strong="G3739"\w* \w have|strong="G2192"\w* gone \w in|strong="G1722"\w* flight \w from|strong="G1722"\w* danger \w to|strong="G2443"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w hope|strong="G1680"\w* \w which|strong="G3739"\w* \w has|strong="G2192"\w* \w been|strong="G2192"\w* put \w before|strong="G1722"\w* \w us|strong="G1722"\w*, \w may|strong="G2443"\w* \w have|strong="G2192"\w* \w a|strong="G2192"\w* \w strong|strong="G2478"\w* \w comfort|strong="G3874"\w* \w in|strong="G1722"\w* \w two|strong="G1417"\w* unchanging \w things|strong="G3739"\w*, \w in|strong="G1722"\w* \w which|strong="G3739"\w* \w it|strong="G1223"\w* \w is|strong="G2316"\w* \w not|strong="G3739"\w* possible \w for|strong="G1223"\w* \w God|strong="G2316"\w* \w to|strong="G2443"\w* \w be|strong="G2316"\w* false; 

And this hope is like a strong band for our souls, fixed and certain, and going in to that which is inside the veil;

\w And|strong="G2532"\w* \w this|strong="G3588"\w* hope \w is|strong="G3739"\w* \w like|strong="G5613"\w* \w a|strong="G2192"\w* strong band \w for|strong="G1519"\w* \w our|strong="G2532"\w* \w souls|strong="G5590"\w*, fixed \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w certain|strong="G0949"\w*, \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w going|strong="G1525"\w* \w in|strong="G1519"\w* \w to|strong="G1519"\w* \w that|strong="G3739"\w* \w which|strong="G3739"\w* \w is|strong="G3739"\w* inside \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w veil|strong="G2665"\w*; 

Where Jesus has gone before us, as a high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

\w Where|strong="G3699"\w* \w Jesus|strong="G2424"\w* \w has|strong="G1096"\w* \w gone|strong="G1525"\w* \w before|strong="G1519"\w* \w us|strong="G1519"\w*, \w as|strong="G1519"\w* \w a|strong="G1096"\w* \w high|strong="G0749"\w* \w priest|strong="G0749"\w* \w for|strong="G1519"\w* \w ever|strong="G0165"\w* \w after|strong="G2596"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w order|strong="G5010"\w* \w of|strong="G2596"\w* \w Melchizedek|strong="G3198"\w*. 

For this Melchizedek, the king of Salem, a priest of the Most High God, who gave Abraham his blessing, meeting him when he came back after putting the kings to death,

\w For|strong="G1063"\w* \w this|strong="G3778"\w* \w Melchizedek|strong="G3198"\w*, \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w king|strong="G0935"\w* \w of|strong="G0575"\w* \w Salem|strong="G4532"\w*, \w a|strong="G2532"\w* \w priest|strong="G2409"\w* \w of|strong="G0575"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w Most|strong="G5310"\w* \w High|strong="G5310"\w* \w God|strong="G2316"\w*, \w who|strong="G3588"\w* gave \w Abraham|strong="G0011"\w* \w his|strong="G0846"\w* \w blessing|strong="G2127"\w*, meeting \w him|strong="G0846"\w* \w when|strong="G2532"\w* \w he|strong="G2532"\w* came \w back|strong="G5290"\w* \w after|strong="G2532"\w* putting \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w kings|strong="G0935"\w* \w to|strong="G2532"\w* death, 

And to whom Abraham gave a tenth part of everything which he had, being first named King of righteousness, and then in addition, King of Salem, that is to say, King of peace;

\w And|strong="G2532"\w* \w to|strong="G2532"\w* \w whom|strong="G3739"\w* \w Abraham|strong="G0011"\w* gave \w a|strong="G1510"\w* \w tenth|strong="G1181"\w* \w part|strong="G1181"\w* \w of|strong="G0575"\w* \w everything|strong="G3956"\w* \w which|strong="G3739"\w* \w he|strong="G2532"\w* \w had|strong="G1510"\w*, \w being|strong="G1510"\w* \w first|strong="G4413"\w* named \w King|strong="G0935"\w* \w of|strong="G0575"\w* \w righteousness|strong="G1343"\w*, \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w then|strong="G2532"\w* \w in|strong="G2532"\w* addition, \w King|strong="G0935"\w* \w of|strong="G0575"\w* \w Salem|strong="G4532"\w*, \w that|strong="G3739"\w* \w is|strong="G1510"\w* \w to|strong="G2532"\w* say, \w King|strong="G0935"\w* \w of|strong="G0575"\w* \w peace|strong="G1515"\w*; 

Being without father or mother, or family, having no birth or end to his life, being made like the Son of God, is a priest for ever.

\w Being|strong="G2192"\w* \w without|strong="G0035"\w* \w father|strong="G0540"\w* \w or|strong="G3383"\w* \w mother|strong="G0282"\w*, \w or|strong="G3383"\w* family, \w having|strong="G2192"\w* \w no|strong="G3383"\w* birth \w or|strong="G3383"\w* \w end|strong="G5056"\w* \w to|strong="G1519"\w* \w his|strong="G2192"\w* \w life|strong="G2222"\w*, \w being|strong="G2192"\w* \w made|strong="G0871"\w* \w like|strong="G0871"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w Son|strong="G5207"\w* \w of|strong="G5207"\w* \w God|strong="G2316"\w*, \w is|strong="G2316"\w* \w a|strong="G2192"\w* \w priest|strong="G2409"\w* \w for|strong="G1519"\w* ever. 

Now see how great this man was, to whom our father Abraham gave a tenth part of what he had got in the fight.

\w Now|strong="G1161"\w* \w see|strong="G2334"\w* \w how|strong="G4080"\w* \w great|strong="G4080"\w* \w this|strong="G3778"\w* \w man|strong="G3778"\w* \w was|strong="G3739"\w*, \w to|strong="G2532"\w* \w whom|strong="G3739"\w* \w our|strong="G2532"\w* father \w Abraham|strong="G0011"\w* \w gave|strong="G1325"\w* \w a|strong="G1325"\w* \w tenth|strong="G1181"\w* \w part|strong="G1181"\w* \w of|strong="G1537"\w* \w what|strong="G3739"\w* \w he|strong="G2532"\w* \w had|strong="G3739"\w* got \w in|strong="G2532"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* fight. 

And it is true that by the law, those of the sons of Levi who have the position of priests may take a tenth part of the people's goods; that is to say, they take it from their brothers though these are the sons of Abraham.

\w And|strong="G2532"\w* \w it|strong="G0846"\w* \w is|strong="G1510"\w* true \w that|strong="G3778"\w* \w by|strong="G1537"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w law|strong="G3551"\w*, \w those|strong="G3588"\w* \w of|strong="G5207"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w sons|strong="G5207"\w* \w of|strong="G5207"\w* \w Levi|strong="G3017"\w* \w who|strong="G3588"\w* \w have|strong="G2192"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* position \w of|strong="G5207"\w* priests \w may|strong="G2532"\w* \w take|strong="G2983"\w* \w a|strong="G2192"\w* tenth \w part|strong="G0846"\w* \w of|strong="G5207"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* people's goods; \w that|strong="G3778"\w* \w is|strong="G1510"\w* \w to|strong="G2596"\w* say, \w they|strong="G0846"\w* \w take|strong="G2983"\w* \w it|strong="G0846"\w* \w from|strong="G1537"\w* \w their|strong="G0846"\w* \w brothers|strong="G0080"\w* \w though|strong="G2532"\w* \w these|strong="G3778"\w* \w are|strong="G1510"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w sons|strong="G5207"\w* \w of|strong="G5207"\w* \w Abraham|strong="G0011"\w*. 

But this man, who was not of their family, took the tenth from Abraham, and gave a blessing to him to whom God had given his undertaking.

\w But|strong="G1161"\w* \w this|strong="G3588"\w* \w man|strong="G3361"\w*, \w who|strong="G3588"\w* \w was|strong="G3588"\w* \w not|strong="G3361"\w* \w of|strong="G1537"\w* \w their|strong="G0846"\w* family, took \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w tenth|strong="G1183"\w* \w from|strong="G1537"\w* \w Abraham|strong="G0011"\w*, \w and|strong="G2532"\w* gave \w a|strong="G2192"\w* \w blessing|strong="G2127"\w* \w to|strong="G2532"\w* \w him|strong="G0846"\w* \w to|strong="G2532"\w* \w whom|strong="G3588"\w* \w God|strong="G0846"\w* \w had|strong="G2192"\w* given \w his|strong="G0846"\w* undertaking. 

But there is no doubt that the less gets his blessing from the greater.

\w But|strong="G1161"\w* \w there|strong="G1161"\w* \w is|strong="G3588"\w* no doubt \w that|strong="G3956"\w* \w the|strong="G3956"\w* \w less|strong="G1640"\w* gets \w his|strong="G3956"\w* \w blessing|strong="G2127"\w* \w from|strong="G5259"\w* \w the|strong="G3956"\w* \w greater|strong="G2909"\w*. 

Now at the present time, men over whom death has power take the tenth; but then it was taken by one of whom it is witnessed that he is living.

\w Now|strong="G1161"\w* \w at|strong="G1161"\w* \w the|strong="G2532"\w* present time, \w men|strong="G0444"\w* \w over|strong="G1563"\w* whom \w death|strong="G0599"\w* \w has|strong="G0444"\w* power \w take|strong="G2983"\w* \w the|strong="G2532"\w* \w tenth|strong="G1181"\w*; \w but|strong="G1161"\w* \w then|strong="G2532"\w* \w it|strong="G1161"\w* \w was|strong="G0444"\w* \w taken|strong="G2983"\w* \w by|strong="G2198"\w* \w one|strong="G0444"\w* \w of|strong="G0444"\w* whom \w it|strong="G1161"\w* \w is|strong="G0444"\w* \w witnessed|strong="G3140"\w* \w that|strong="G3754"\w* \w he|strong="G2532"\w* \w is|strong="G0444"\w* \w living|strong="G2198"\w*. 

And we may say that in Abraham, even Levi, who has a right to take the tenth part, gave it;

\w And|strong="G2532"\w* \w we|strong="G2532"\w* \w may|strong="G2532"\w* \w say|strong="G3004"\w* \w that|strong="G3004"\w* \w in|strong="G2532"\w* \w Abraham|strong="G0011"\w*, \w even|strong="G2532"\w* \w Levi|strong="G3018"\w*, \w who|strong="G3588"\w* \w has|strong="G2532"\w* \w a|strong="G5613"\w* right \w to|strong="G3004"\w* \w take|strong="G2983"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w tenth|strong="G1181"\w* \w part|strong="G1181"\w*, gave \w it|strong="G1223"\w*; 

Because he was still in his father's body when Melchizedek came to him.

\w Because|strong="G1063"\w* \w he|strong="G0846"\w* \w was|strong="G1510"\w* \w still|strong="G2089"\w* \w in|strong="G1722"\w* \w his|strong="G0846"\w* father's body \w when|strong="G3753"\w* \w Melchizedek|strong="G3198"\w* \w came|strong="G1510"\w* \w to|strong="G1722"\w* \w him|strong="G0846"\w*. 

Now if it was possible for things to be made complete through the priests of the house of Levi (for the law was given to the people in connection with them), what need was there for another priest who was of the order of Melchizedek and not of the order of Aaron?

\w Now|strong="G2532"\w* \w if|strong="G1487"\w* \w it|strong="G0846"\w* \w was|strong="G1510"\w* possible \w for|strong="G1063"\w* \w things|strong="G0846"\w* \w to|strong="G3004"\w* \w be|strong="G1510"\w* \w made|strong="G3004"\w* complete \w through|strong="G1223"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w priests|strong="G2409"\w* \w of|strong="G1223"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* house \w of|strong="G1223"\w* Levi (\w for|strong="G1063"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w law|strong="G3549"\w* \w was|strong="G1510"\w* given \w to|strong="G3004"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w people|strong="G2992"\w* \w in|strong="G1909"\w* \w connection|strong="G1909"\w* \w with|strong="G1909"\w* \w them|strong="G0846"\w*), \w what|strong="G5101"\w* \w need|strong="G5532"\w* \w was|strong="G1510"\w* \w there|strong="G1510"\w* \w for|strong="G1063"\w* \w another|strong="G2087"\w* \w priest|strong="G2409"\w* \w who|strong="G3588"\w* \w was|strong="G1510"\w* \w of|strong="G1223"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w order|strong="G5010"\w* \w of|strong="G1223"\w* \w Melchizedek|strong="G3198"\w* \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w not|strong="G3756"\w* \w of|strong="G1223"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w order|strong="G5010"\w* \w of|strong="G1223"\w* \w Aaron|strong="G0002"\w*? 

Because if the priests are changed, it is necessary to make a change in the law.

\w Because|strong="G1063"\w* \w if|strong="G2532"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* priests \w are|strong="G3588"\w* changed, \w it|strong="G2532"\w* \w is|strong="G3588"\w* \w necessary|strong="G0318"\w* \w to|strong="G2532"\w* make \w a|strong="G1096"\w* \w change|strong="G3331"\w* \w in|strong="G2532"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w law|strong="G3551"\w*. 

For he of whom these things are said comes of another tribe, of which no man has ever made offerings at the altar.

\w For|strong="G1063"\w* \w he|strong="G3739"\w* \w of|strong="G0575"\w* \w whom|strong="G3739"\w* \w these|strong="G3778"\w* \w things|strong="G3778"\w* \w are|strong="G3778"\w* \w said|strong="G3004"\w* comes \w of|strong="G0575"\w* \w another|strong="G2087"\w* \w tribe|strong="G5443"\w*, \w of|strong="G0575"\w* \w which|strong="G3739"\w* \w no|strong="G3762"\w* \w man|strong="G3778"\w* \w has|strong="G3739"\w* ever \w made|strong="G3004"\w* offerings \w at|strong="G1909"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w altar|strong="G2379"\w*. 

Because it is clear that our Lord comes out of Judah, and Moses said nothing about priests from that tribe.

\w Because|strong="G3754"\w* \w it|strong="G3739"\w* \w is|strong="G3739"\w* clear \w that|strong="G3754"\w* \w our|strong="G2962"\w* \w Lord|strong="G2962"\w* comes \w out|strong="G1537"\w* \w of|strong="G1537"\w* \w Judah|strong="G2455"\w*, \w and|strong="G2962"\w* \w Moses|strong="G3475"\w* \w said|strong="G2980"\w* \w nothing|strong="G3762"\w* \w about|strong="G4012"\w* \w priests|strong="G2409"\w* \w from|strong="G1537"\w* \w that|strong="G3754"\w* \w tribe|strong="G5443"\w*. 

And this is even more clear if a second priest has come up who is like Melchizedek,

\w And|strong="G2532"\w* \w this|strong="G3588"\w* \w is|strong="G1510"\w* \w even|strong="G2532"\w* \w more|strong="G2089"\w* clear \w if|strong="G1487"\w* \w a|strong="G1510"\w* second \w priest|strong="G2409"\w* \w has|strong="G1510"\w* \w come|strong="G1510"\w* \w up|strong="G0450"\w* \w who|strong="G3588"\w* \w is|strong="G1510"\w* \w like|strong="G2596"\w* \w Melchizedek|strong="G3198"\w*, 

That is to say, not made by a law based on the flesh, but by the power of a life without end:

\w That|strong="G3739"\w* \w is|strong="G3739"\w* \w to|strong="G2596"\w* say, \w not|strong="G3756"\w* \w made|strong="G1096"\w* \w by|strong="G2596"\w* \w a|strong="G1096"\w* \w law|strong="G3551"\w* based \w on|strong="G2596"\w* \w the|strong="G3739"\w* \w flesh|strong="G4560"\w*, \w but|strong="G0235"\w* \w by|strong="G2596"\w* \w the|strong="G3739"\w* \w power|strong="G1411"\w* \w of|strong="G3551"\w* \w a|strong="G1096"\w* \w life|strong="G2222"\w* \w without|strong="G3756"\w* end: 

For it has been witnessed of him, You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

\w For|strong="G1063"\w* \w it|strong="G3140"\w* \w has|strong="G3748"\w* been \w witnessed|strong="G3140"\w* \w of|strong="G2596"\w* \w him|strong="G1519"\w*, \w You|strong="G4771"\w* \w are|strong="G3588"\w* \w a|strong="G3140"\w* \w priest|strong="G2409"\w* \w for|strong="G1063"\w* \w ever|strong="G0165"\w* \w after|strong="G2596"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w order|strong="G5010"\w* \w of|strong="G2596"\w* \w Melchizedek|strong="G3198"\w*. 

So the law which went before is put on one side, because it was feeble and without profit.

\w So|strong="G2532"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* law \w which|strong="G3588"\w* \w went|strong="G4254"\w* \w before|strong="G4254"\w* \w is|strong="G3588"\w* \w put|strong="G1096"\w* \w on|strong="G4254"\w* \w one|strong="G3588"\w* side, \w because|strong="G1223"\w* \w it|strong="G0846"\w* \w was|strong="G3588"\w* feeble \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w without|strong="G2532"\w* profit. 

(Because the law made nothing complete), and in its place there is a better hope, through which we come near to God.

(\w Because|strong="G1223"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w law|strong="G3551"\w* \w made|strong="G5048"\w* \w nothing|strong="G3762"\w* \w complete|strong="G5048"\w*), \w and|strong="G1161"\w* \w in|strong="G2316"\w* \w its|strong="G1223"\w* place \w there|strong="G1161"\w* \w is|strong="G2316"\w* \w a|strong="G3739"\w* \w better|strong="G2909"\w* \w hope|strong="G1680"\w*, \w through|strong="G1223"\w* \w which|strong="G3739"\w* \w we|strong="G3739"\w* \w come|strong="G1448"\w* \w near|strong="G1448"\w* \w to|strong="G2316"\w* \w God|strong="G2316"\w*.

(For those were made priests without an oath, but this one was made a priest with an oath by him who says of him, The Lord gave his oath, which he will not take back, that you are a priest for ever);

(\w For|strong="G1519"\w* \w those|strong="G3588"\w* \w were|strong="G3588"\w* \w made|strong="G3004"\w* \w priests|strong="G2409"\w* \w without|strong="G3756"\w* \w an|strong="G2532"\w* \w oath|strong="G3728"\w*, \w but|strong="G1161"\w* \w this|strong="G3588"\w* \w one|strong="G3588"\w* \w was|strong="G3588"\w* \w made|strong="G3004"\w* \w a|strong="G3004"\w* \w priest|strong="G2409"\w* \w with|strong="G3326"\w* \w an|strong="G2532"\w* \w oath|strong="G3728"\w* \w by|strong="G1223"\w* \w him|strong="G0846"\w* \w who|strong="G3588"\w* \w says|strong="G3004"\w* \w of|strong="G1223"\w* \w him|strong="G0846"\w*, \w The|strong="G3588"\w* \w Lord|strong="G2962"\w* gave \w his|strong="G0846"\w* \w oath|strong="G3728"\w*, \w which|strong="G3588"\w* \w he|strong="G2532"\w* \w will|strong="G2962"\w* \w not|strong="G3756"\w* take \w back|strong="G1519"\w*, \w that|strong="G3004"\w* \w you|strong="G4771"\w* \w are|strong="G3588"\w* \w a|strong="G3004"\w* \w priest|strong="G2409"\w* \w for|strong="G1519"\w* \w ever|strong="G0165"\w*); 

By so much is it a better agreement which we have through Jesus.

\w By|strong="G2596"\w* \w so|strong="G2532"\w* \w much|strong="G5118"\w* \w is|strong="G2532"\w* \w it|strong="G2532"\w* \w a|strong="G1096"\w* \w better|strong="G2909"\w* agreement \w which|strong="G2424"\w* \w we|strong="G2532"\w* \w have|strong="G2532"\w* \w through|strong="G2596"\w* \w Jesus|strong="G2424"\w*. 

And it is true that there have been a great number of those priests, because death does not let them go on for ever;

\w And|strong="G2532"\w* \w it|strong="G1223"\w* \w is|strong="G1510"\w* true \w that|strong="G1096"\w* \w there|strong="G1510"\w* \w have|strong="G1510"\w* \w been|strong="G1510"\w* \w a|strong="G1096"\w* \w great|strong="G4183"\w* number \w of|strong="G1223"\w* \w those|strong="G3588"\w* \w priests|strong="G2409"\w*, \w because|strong="G1223"\w* \w death|strong="G2288"\w* \w does|strong="G1510"\w* \w not|strong="G1510"\w* \w let|strong="G1096"\w* \w them|strong="G1223"\w* go \w on|strong="G1096"\w* \w for|strong="G1223"\w* ever; 

But this priest, because his life goes on for ever, is unchanging.

\w But|strong="G1161"\w* \w this|strong="G3588"\w* priest, \w because|strong="G1223"\w* \w his|strong="G0846"\w* life goes \w on|strong="G1519"\w* \w for|strong="G1519"\w* \w ever|strong="G0165"\w*, \w is|strong="G3588"\w* unchanging. 

So that he is fully able to be the saviour of all who come to God through him, because he is ever living to make prayer to God for them.

\w So|strong="G2532"\w* \w that|strong="G0846"\w* \w he|strong="G2532"\w* \w is|strong="G2316"\w* fully \w able|strong="G1410"\w* \w to|strong="G1519"\w* \w be|strong="G2532"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* saviour \w of|strong="G1223"\w* \w all|strong="G3588"\w* \w who|strong="G3588"\w* \w come|strong="G4334"\w* \w to|strong="G1519"\w* \w God|strong="G2316"\w* \w through|strong="G1223"\w* \w him|strong="G0846"\w*, \w because|strong="G1223"\w* \w he|strong="G2532"\w* \w is|strong="G2316"\w* ever \w living|strong="G2198"\w* \w to|strong="G1519"\w* \w make|strong="G1793"\w* prayer \w to|strong="G1519"\w* \w God|strong="G2316"\w* \w for|strong="G1519"\w* \w them|strong="G0846"\w*. 

It was right for us to have such a high priest, one who is holy and without evil, doing no wrong, having no part with sinners, and made higher than the heavens:

\w It|strong="G2532"\w* \w was|strong="G3588"\w* right \w for|strong="G1063"\w* us \w to|strong="G2532"\w* \w have|strong="G2532"\w* \w such|strong="G5108"\w* \w a|strong="G1096"\w* \w high|strong="G0749"\w* \w priest|strong="G0749"\w*, \w one|strong="G3588"\w* \w who|strong="G3588"\w* \w is|strong="G3772"\w* \w holy|strong="G3741"\w* \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w without|strong="G2532"\w* evil, doing no wrong, having no \w part|strong="G1473"\w* \w with|strong="G0575"\w* \w sinners|strong="G0268"\w*, \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w made|strong="G1096"\w* higher \w than|strong="G2532"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w heavens|strong="G3772"\w*: 

Who has no need to make offerings for sins every day, like those high priests, first for himself, and then for the people; because he did this once and for ever when he made an offering of himself.

\w Who|strong="G3739"\w* \w has|strong="G2192"\w* \w no|strong="G3756"\w* \w need|strong="G2192"\w* \w to|strong="G2596"\w* \w make|strong="G4160"\w* \w offerings|strong="G4374"\w* \w for|strong="G1063"\w* \w sins|strong="G0266"\w* \w every|strong="G2596"\w* \w day|strong="G2250"\w*, \w like|strong="G5618"\w* \w those|strong="G3588"\w* \w high|strong="G0749"\w* \w priests|strong="G0749"\w*, \w first|strong="G4387"\w* \w for|strong="G1063"\w* \w himself|strong="G1438"\w*, \w and|strong="G2250"\w* \w then|strong="G1899"\w* \w for|strong="G1063"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w people|strong="G2992"\w*; \w because|strong="G1063"\w* \w he|strong="G3739"\w* \w did|strong="G4160"\w* \w this|strong="G3778"\w* \w once|strong="G2178"\w* \w and|strong="G2250"\w* \w for|strong="G1063"\w* ever \w when|strong="G3739"\w* \w he|strong="G3739"\w* \w made|strong="G4160"\w* \w an|strong="G2192"\w* \w offering|strong="G4374"\w* \w of|strong="G2250"\w* \w himself|strong="G1438"\w*. 

The law makes high priests of men who are feeble; but the word of the oath, which was made after the law, gives that position to a Son, in whom all good is for ever complete.

\w The|strong="G3588"\w* \w law|strong="G3551"\w* \w makes|strong="G2525"\w* \w high|strong="G0749"\w* \w priests|strong="G0749"\w* \w of|strong="G5207"\w* \w men|strong="G0444"\w* \w who|strong="G3588"\w* \w are|strong="G3588"\w* feeble; \w but|strong="G1161"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w word|strong="G3056"\w* \w of|strong="G5207"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w oath|strong="G3728"\w*, \w which|strong="G3588"\w* \w was|strong="G3588"\w* \w made|strong="G2525"\w* \w after|strong="G3326"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w law|strong="G3551"\w*, gives \w that|strong="G0749"\w* position \w to|strong="G1519"\w* \w a|strong="G2192"\w* \w Son|strong="G5207"\w*, \w in|strong="G1519"\w* \w whom|strong="G3588"\w* \w all|strong="G3588"\w* good \w is|strong="G0444"\w* \w for|strong="G1063"\w* \w ever|strong="G0165"\w* \w complete|strong="G5048"\w*. 

Now of the things we are saying this is the chief point: We have such a high priest, who has taken his place at the right hand of God's high seat of glory in heaven,

\w Now|strong="G1161"\w* \w of|strong="G1909"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w things|strong="G5108"\w* \w we|strong="G3739"\w* \w are|strong="G3739"\w* \w saying|strong="G3004"\w* \w this|strong="G3588"\w* \w is|strong="G3739"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w chief|strong="G0749"\w* \w point|strong="G2774"\w*: \w We|strong="G3739"\w* \w have|strong="G2192"\w* \w such|strong="G5108"\w* \w a|strong="G2192"\w* \w high|strong="G0749"\w* \w priest|strong="G0749"\w*, \w who|strong="G3739"\w* \w has|strong="G2192"\w* \w taken|strong="G2523"\w* \w his|strong="G1909"\w* \w place|strong="G1722"\w* \w at|strong="G1722"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w right|strong="G1188"\w* \w hand|strong="G1188"\w* \w of|strong="G1909"\w* God's \w high|strong="G0749"\w* \w seat|strong="G2523"\w* \w of|strong="G1909"\w* glory \w in|strong="G1722"\w* \w heaven|strong="G3772"\w*, 

As a servant of the holy things and of the true Tent, which was put up by God, not by man.

And for this cause it is through him that a new agreement has come into being, so that after the errors under the first agreement had been taken away by his death, the word of God might have effect for those who were marked out for an eternal heritage.

Because where there is a testament, there has to be the death of the man who made it.

\w Because|strong="G1063"\w* \w where|strong="G3699"\w* \w there|strong="G3699"\w* \w is|strong="G3588"\w* \w a|strong="G5342"\w* testament, \w there|strong="G3699"\w* \w has|strong="G2288"\w* \w to|strong="G0318"\w* be \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w death|strong="G2288"\w* \w of|strong="G3588"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* man \w who|strong="G3588"\w* \w made|strong="G1303"\w* \w it|strong="G3699"\w*. 

For a testament has effect after death; for what power has it while the man who made it is living?

\w For|strong="G1063"\w* \w a|strong="G1909"\w* testament \w has|strong="G2480"\w* effect \w after|strong="G3753"\w* \w death|strong="G3498"\w*; \w for|strong="G1063"\w* \w what|strong="G3588"\w* power \w has|strong="G2480"\w* \w it|strong="G1909"\w* \w while|strong="G3753"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w man|strong="G3498"\w* \w who|strong="G3588"\w* \w made|strong="G1303"\w* \w it|strong="G1909"\w* \w is|strong="G3588"\w* \w living|strong="G2198"\w*?

For when Moses had given all the rules of the law to the people, he took the blood of goats and young oxen, with water and red wool and hyssop, and put it on the book itself and on all the people,

\w For|strong="G1063"\w* \w when|strong="G2532"\w* \w Moses|strong="G3475"\w* \w had|strong="G3588"\w* given \w all|strong="G3956"\w* \w the|strong="G3956"\w* rules \w of|strong="G3551"\w* \w the|strong="G3956"\w* \w law|strong="G3551"\w* \w to|strong="G2596"\w* \w the|strong="G3956"\w* \w people|strong="G2992"\w*, \w he|strong="G2532"\w* \w took|strong="G2983"\w* \w the|strong="G3956"\w* \w blood|strong="G0129"\w* \w of|strong="G3551"\w* \w goats|strong="G5131"\w* \w and|strong="G2532"\w* young oxen, \w with|strong="G3326"\w* \w water|strong="G5204"\w* \w and|strong="G2532"\w* red \w wool|strong="G2053"\w* \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w hyssop|strong="G5301"\w*, \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w put|strong="G2983"\w* \w it|strong="G0846"\w* \w on|strong="G2596"\w* \w the|strong="G3956"\w* \w book|strong="G0975"\w* \w itself|strong="G0846"\w* \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w on|strong="G2596"\w* \w all|strong="G3956"\w* \w the|strong="G3956"\w* \w people|strong="G2992"\w*, 

Saying, This blood is the sign of the agreement which God has made with you.

\w Saying|strong="G3004"\w*, \w This|strong="G3778"\w* \w blood|strong="G0129"\w* \w is|strong="G2316"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* sign \w of|strong="G2316"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* agreement \w which|strong="G3739"\w* \w God|strong="G2316"\w* \w has|strong="G2316"\w* \w made|strong="G3004"\w* \w with|strong="G4314"\w* \w you|strong="G5210"\w*. 

And the blood was put on the Tent and all the holy vessels in the same way.

\w And|strong="G2532"\w* \w the|strong="G3956"\w* \w blood|strong="G0129"\w* \w was|strong="G3588"\w* put \w on|strong="G1161"\w* \w the|strong="G3956"\w* \w Tent|strong="G4633"\w* \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w all|strong="G3956"\w* \w the|strong="G3956"\w* holy \w vessels|strong="G4632"\w* \w in|strong="G2532"\w* \w the|strong="G3956"\w* \w same|strong="G3668"\w* \w way|strong="G3668"\w*. 

And by the law almost all things are made clean with blood, and without blood there is no forgiveness.

\w And|strong="G2532"\w* \w by|strong="G1722"\w* \w the|strong="G3956"\w* \w law|strong="G3551"\w* \w almost|strong="G4975"\w* \w all|strong="G3956"\w* \w things|strong="G3956"\w* \w are|strong="G3956"\w* \w made|strong="G1096"\w* \w clean|strong="G2511"\w* \w with|strong="G1722"\w* \w blood|strong="G0129"\w*, \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w without|strong="G5565"\w* \w blood|strong="G0129"\w* \w there|strong="G1722"\w* \w is|strong="G3588"\w* \w no|strong="G3756"\w* \w forgiveness|strong="G0859"\w*. 

For this cause it was necessary to make the copies of the things in heaven clean with these offerings; but the things themselves are made clean with better offerings than these.

\w For|strong="G1722"\w* \w this|strong="G3778"\w* cause \w it|strong="G0846"\w* \w was|strong="G3588"\w* \w necessary|strong="G0318"\w* \w to|strong="G1722"\w* \w make|strong="G2511"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w copies|strong="G5262"\w* \w of|strong="G1722"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w things|strong="G3778"\w* \w in|strong="G1722"\w* \w heaven|strong="G3772"\w* \w clean|strong="G2511"\w* \w with|strong="G1722"\w* \w these|strong="G3778"\w* offerings; \w but|strong="G1161"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w things|strong="G3778"\w* \w themselves|strong="G0846"\w* \w are|strong="G3778"\w* made \w clean|strong="G2511"\w* \w with|strong="G1722"\w* \w better|strong="G2909"\w* offerings \w than|strong="G3844"\w* \w these|strong="G3778"\w*. 

For Christ did not go into a holy place which had been made by men's hands as the copy of the true one; but he went into heaven itself, and now takes his place before the face of God for us.

\w For|strong="G1063"\w* \w Christ|strong="G5547"\w* \w did|strong="G1525"\w* \w not|strong="G3756"\w* \w go|strong="G1525"\w* \w into|strong="G1519"\w* \w a|strong="G1525"\w* \w holy|strong="G0040"\w* \w place|strong="G0040"\w* \w which|strong="G3588"\w* \w had|strong="G2316"\w* \w been|strong="G3568"\w* \w made|strong="G5499"\w* \w by|strong="G1519"\w* men's \w hands|strong="G5499"\w* \w as|strong="G1519"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w copy|strong="G0499"\w* \w of|strong="G2316"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w true|strong="G0228"\w* \w one|strong="G3588"\w*; \w but|strong="G0235"\w* \w he|strong="G0846"\w* \w went|strong="G1525"\w* \w into|strong="G1519"\w* \w heaven|strong="G3772"\w* \w itself|strong="G0846"\w*, \w and|strong="G2316"\w* \w now|strong="G3568"\w* takes \w his|strong="G0846"\w* \w place|strong="G0040"\w* \w before|strong="G1519"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w face|strong="G4383"\w* \w of|strong="G2316"\w* \w God|strong="G2316"\w* \w for|strong="G1063"\w* \w us|strong="G1519"\w*. 

And he did not have to make an offering of himself again and again, as the high priest goes into the holy place every year with blood which is not his;

\w And|strong="G0749"\w* \w he|strong="G1722"\w* \w did|strong="G1525"\w* \w not|strong="G3761"\w* \w have|strong="G3588"\w* \w to|strong="G1519"\w* \w make|strong="G4374"\w* \w an|strong="G4374"\w* \w offering|strong="G4374"\w* \w of|strong="G0129"\w* \w himself|strong="G1438"\w* \w again|strong="G1519"\w* \w and|strong="G0749"\w* \w again|strong="G1519"\w*, \w as|strong="G1519"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w high|strong="G0749"\w* \w priest|strong="G0749"\w* goes \w into|strong="G1519"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w holy|strong="G0040"\w* \w place|strong="G0040"\w* \w every|strong="G2596"\w* \w year|strong="G1763"\w* \w with|strong="G1722"\w* \w blood|strong="G0129"\w* \w which|strong="G3588"\w* \w is|strong="G3588"\w* \w not|strong="G3761"\w* \w his|strong="G1438"\w*; 

For then he would have undergone a number of deaths from the time of the making of the world: but now he has come to us at the end of the old order, to put away sin by the offering of himself.

\w For|strong="G1519"\w* \w then|strong="G1161"\w* \w he|strong="G0846"\w* \w would|strong="G0846"\w* \w have|strong="G1163"\w* undergone \w a|strong="G1909"\w* \w number|strong="G0846"\w* \w of|strong="G1223"\w* deaths \w from|strong="G0575"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w time|strong="G0165"\w* \w of|strong="G1223"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* making \w of|strong="G1223"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w world|strong="G2889"\w*: \w but|strong="G1161"\w* \w now|strong="G1161"\w* \w he|strong="G0846"\w* \w has|strong="G2889"\w* come \w to|strong="G1519"\w* \w us|strong="G1519"\w* \w at|strong="G1909"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w end|strong="G4930"\w* \w of|strong="G1223"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w old|strong="G0165"\w* order, \w to|strong="G1519"\w* \w put|strong="G0115"\w* \w away|strong="G0575"\w* \w sin|strong="G0266"\w* \w by|strong="G1223"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* offering \w of|strong="G1223"\w* \w himself|strong="G0846"\w*. 

And because by God's law death comes to men once, and after that they are judged;

\w And|strong="G2532"\w* \w because|strong="G1161"\w* \w by|strong="G2596"\w* God's law \w death|strong="G0599"\w* \w comes|strong="G2532"\w* \w to|strong="G2596"\w* \w men|strong="G0444"\w* \w once|strong="G0530"\w*, \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w after|strong="G3326"\w* \w that|strong="G3778"\w* \w they|strong="G2532"\w* \w are|strong="G3778"\w* judged; 

So Christ, having at his first coming taken on himself the sins of men, will be seen a second time, without sin, by those who are waiting for him, for their salvation.

For the law, being only a poor copy of the future good things, and not the true image of those things, is never able to make the people who come to the altar every year with the same offerings completely clean.

For if this had been possible, would there not have been an end of those offerings, because the worshippers would have been made completely clean and would have been no longer conscious of sins?

Because it is not possible for the blood of oxen and goats to take away sins.

So that when he comes into the world, he says, You had no desire for offerings, but you made a body ready for me;

\w So|strong="G2532"\w* \w that|strong="G3004"\w* \w when|strong="G2532"\w* \w he|strong="G2532"\w* \w comes|strong="G1525"\w* \w into|strong="G1519"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w world|strong="G2889"\w*, \w he|strong="G2532"\w* \w says|strong="G3004"\w*, \w You|strong="G3004"\w* \w had|strong="G3588"\w* \w no|strong="G3756"\w* \w desire|strong="G2309"\w* \w for|strong="G1519"\w* \w offerings|strong="G4376"\w*, \w but|strong="G1161"\w* \w you|strong="G3004"\w* \w made|strong="G2675"\w* \w a|strong="G1525"\w* \w body|strong="G4983"\w* ready \w for|strong="G1519"\w* \w me|strong="G3004"\w*;

Then I said, See, I have come to do your pleasure, O God (as it is said of me in the roll of the book).

\w Then|strong="G5119"\w* \w I|strong="G1473"\w* \w said|strong="G3004"\w*, \w See|strong="G3708"\w*, \w I|strong="G1473"\w* \w have|strong="G1473"\w* \w come|strong="G2240"\w* \w to|strong="G3004"\w* \w do|strong="G4160"\w* \w your|strong="G3708"\w* pleasure, O \w God|strong="G2316"\w* (\w as|strong="G1722"\w* \w it|strong="G4160"\w* \w is|strong="G2316"\w* \w said|strong="G3004"\w* \w of|strong="G2316"\w* \w me|strong="G3004"\w* \w in|strong="G1722"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* roll \w of|strong="G2316"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w book|strong="G0975"\w*). 

After saying, You had no desire for offerings, for burned offerings or offerings for sin (which are made by the law) and you had no pleasure in them,

\w After|strong="G2596"\w* \w saying|strong="G3004"\w*, \w You|strong="G3754"\w* \w had|strong="G3748"\w* \w no|strong="G3756"\w* \w desire|strong="G2309"\w* \w for|strong="G3754"\w* \w offerings|strong="G4376"\w*, \w for|strong="G3754"\w* burned \w offerings|strong="G4376"\w* \w or|strong="G3761"\w* \w offerings|strong="G4376"\w* \w for|strong="G3754"\w* \w sin|strong="G0266"\w* (\w which|strong="G3748"\w* \w are|strong="G2532"\w* \w made|strong="G3004"\w* \w by|strong="G2596"\w* \w the|strong="G2532"\w* \w law|strong="G3551"\w*) \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w you|strong="G3754"\w* \w had|strong="G3748"\w* \w no|strong="G3756"\w* \w pleasure|strong="G2106"\w* \w in|strong="G2596"\w* \w them|strong="G3004"\w*, 

Then he said, See, I have come to do your pleasure. He took away the old order, so that he might put the new order in its place.

\w Then|strong="G5119"\w* \w he|strong="G3004"\w* \w said|strong="G3004"\w*, \w See|strong="G3708"\w*, \w I|strong="G3004"\w* \w have|strong="G4160"\w* \w come|strong="G2240"\w* \w to|strong="G2443"\w* \w do|strong="G4160"\w* \w your|strong="G3708"\w* pleasure. \w He|strong="G3004"\w* \w took|strong="G0337"\w* \w away|strong="G0337"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* old \w order|strong="G2443"\w*, \w so|strong="G2443"\w* \w that|strong="G2443"\w* \w he|strong="G3004"\w* might \w put|strong="G0337"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* new \w order|strong="G2443"\w* \w in|strong="G4160"\w* its place. 

By that pleasure we have been made holy, by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once and for ever.

\w By|strong="G1722"\w* \w that|strong="G3739"\w* pleasure \w we|strong="G3739"\w* \w have|strong="G1510"\w* \w been|strong="G1510"\w* made \w holy|strong="G0037"\w*, \w by|strong="G1722"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w offering|strong="G4376"\w* \w of|strong="G1223"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w body|strong="G4983"\w* \w of|strong="G1223"\w* \w Jesus|strong="G2424"\w* \w Christ|strong="G5547"\w* \w once|strong="G2178"\w* \w and|strong="G2424"\w* \w for|strong="G1223"\w* ever. 

And every priest takes his place at the altar day by day, doing what is necessary, and making again and again the same offerings which are never able to take away sins.

\w And|strong="G2532"\w* \w every|strong="G3956"\w* \w priest|strong="G2409"\w* takes \w his|strong="G0846"\w* place \w at|strong="G2596"\w* \w the|strong="G3956"\w* altar \w day|strong="G2250"\w* \w by|strong="G2596"\w* \w day|strong="G2250"\w*, doing \w what|strong="G3588"\w* \w is|strong="G3588"\w* necessary, \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w making|strong="G2476"\w* \w again|strong="G2532"\w* \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w again|strong="G2532"\w* \w the|strong="G3956"\w* \w same|strong="G0846"\w* \w offerings|strong="G4374"\w* \w which|strong="G3748"\w* \w are|strong="G3956"\w* \w never|strong="G3763"\w* \w able|strong="G1410"\w* \w to|strong="G1410"\w* \w take|strong="G4014"\w* \w away|strong="G4014"\w* \w sins|strong="G0266"\w*. 

But when Jesus had made one offering for sins for ever, he took his place at the right hand of God;

\w But|strong="G1161"\w* \w when|strong="G1161"\w* \w Jesus|strong="G3778"\w* \w had|strong="G2316"\w* made \w one|strong="G1520"\w* \w offering|strong="G4374"\w* \w for|strong="G1519"\w* \w sins|strong="G0266"\w* \w for|strong="G1519"\w* ever, \w he|strong="G3778"\w* \w took|strong="G2523"\w* \w his|strong="G2523"\w* \w place|strong="G1722"\w* \w at|strong="G1722"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w right|strong="G1188"\w* \w hand|strong="G1188"\w* \w of|strong="G2316"\w* \w God|strong="G2316"\w*; 

And has been waiting there from that time, till all who are against him are made a foot-rest for his feet.

\w And|strong="G0846"\w* \w has|strong="G0846"\w* been \w waiting|strong="G1551"\w* there \w from|strong="G3588"\w* \w that|strong="G0846"\w* time, till \w all|strong="G3588"\w* \w who|strong="G3588"\w* \w are|strong="G3588"\w* \w against|strong="G0846"\w* \w him|strong="G0846"\w* \w are|strong="G3588"\w* \w made|strong="G5087"\w* \w a|strong="G5087"\w* foot-rest \w for|strong="G1551"\w* \w his|strong="G0846"\w* \w feet|strong="G4228"\w*. 

Because by one offering he has made complete for ever those who are made holy.

\w Because|strong="G1063"\w* \w by|strong="G1520"\w* \w one|strong="G1520"\w* \w offering|strong="G4376"\w* he \w has|strong="G5048"\w* \w made|strong="G5048"\w* \w complete|strong="G5048"\w* \w for|strong="G1063"\w* ever \w those|strong="G3588"\w* \w who|strong="G3588"\w* \w are|strong="G3588"\w* \w made|strong="G5048"\w* \w holy|strong="G0037"\w*. 

\w And|strong="G2532"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w Holy|strong="G0040"\w* \w Spirit|strong="G4151"\w* \w is|strong="G3588"\w* \w a|strong="G3004"\w* \w witness|strong="G3140"\w* \w for|strong="G1063"\w* \w us|strong="G3004"\w*: \w for|strong="G1063"\w* \w after|strong="G3326"\w* \w he|strong="G2532"\w* \w had|strong="G3588"\w* \w said|strong="G3004"\w*, 

This is the agreement which I will make with them after those days, says the Lord; I will put my laws in their hearts, writing them in their minds; he said,

\w This|strong="G3778"\w* \w is|strong="G3778"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* agreement \w which|strong="G3739"\w* \w I|strong="G1473"\w* \w will|strong="G3739"\w* \w make|strong="G1303"\w* \w with|strong="G3326"\w* \w them|strong="G0846"\w* \w after|strong="G3326"\w* \w those|strong="G3588"\w* \w days|strong="G2250"\w*, \w says|strong="G3004"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w Lord|strong="G2962"\w*; \w I|strong="G1473"\w* \w will|strong="G3739"\w* \w put|strong="G1325"\w* \w my|strong="G1325"\w* \w laws|strong="G3551"\w* \w in|strong="G1909"\w* \w their|strong="G0846"\w* \w hearts|strong="G2588"\w*, writing \w them|strong="G0846"\w* \w in|strong="G1909"\w* \w their|strong="G0846"\w* \w minds|strong="G1271"\w*; \w he|strong="G2532"\w* \w said|strong="G3004"\w*, 

And I will keep no more memory of their sins and of their evil-doings.

\w And|strong="G2532"\w* \w I|strong="G2532"\w* \w will|strong="G2532"\w* \w keep|strong="G3361"\w* \w no|strong="G3756"\w* \w more|strong="G2089"\w* memory \w of|strong="G0266"\w* \w their|strong="G0846"\w* \w sins|strong="G0266"\w* \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w of|strong="G0266"\w* \w their|strong="G0846"\w* evil-doings. 

Now where there is forgiveness of these, there is no more offering for sin.

\w Now|strong="G1161"\w* \w where|strong="G3699"\w* \w there|strong="G3699"\w* \w is|strong="G3778"\w* \w forgiveness|strong="G0859"\w* \w of|strong="G4012"\w* \w these|strong="G3778"\w*, \w there|strong="G3699"\w* \w is|strong="G3778"\w* \w no|strong="G3765"\w* \w more|strong="G3765"\w* \w offering|strong="G4376"\w* \w for|strong="G4012"\w* \w sin|strong="G0266"\w*. 

So then, my brothers, being able to go into the holy place without fear, because of the blood of Jesus,

\w So|strong="G3767"\w* \w then|strong="G3767"\w*, \w my|strong="G1722"\w* \w brothers|strong="G0080"\w*, \w being|strong="G2192"\w* \w able|strong="G2192"\w* \w to|strong="G1519"\w* go \w into|strong="G1519"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w holy|strong="G0040"\w* \w place|strong="G0040"\w* without fear, \w because|strong="G1722"\w* \w of|strong="G0129"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w blood|strong="G0129"\w* \w of|strong="G0129"\w* \w Jesus|strong="G2424"\w*,

Let us go in with true hearts, in certain faith, having our hearts made free from the sense of sin and our bodies washed with clean water:

Let \w us|strong="G1722"\w* \w go|strong="G4334"\w* \w in|strong="G1722"\w* \w with|strong="G3326"\w* \w true|strong="G0228"\w* \w hearts|strong="G2588"\w*, \w in|strong="G1722"\w* certain \w faith|strong="G4102"\w*, having \w our|strong="G2532"\w* \w hearts|strong="G2588"\w* made free \w from|strong="G0575"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* sense \w of|strong="G0575"\w* sin \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w our|strong="G2532"\w* \w bodies|strong="G4983"\w* \w washed|strong="G3068"\w* \w with|strong="G3326"\w* \w clean|strong="G2513"\w* water: 

Let us keep the witness of our hope strong and unshaking, for he is true who has given his word:

Let us \w keep|strong="G2722"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* witness \w of|strong="G4983"\w* \w our|strong="G2532"\w* \w hope|strong="G1680"\w* strong \w and|strong="G2532"\w* unshaking, \w for|strong="G1063"\w* \w he|strong="G2532"\w* \w is|strong="G3588"\w* true \w who|strong="G3588"\w* \w has|strong="G2532"\w* given \w his|strong="G2532"\w* word:

Not giving up our meetings, as is the way of some, but keeping one another strong in faith; and all the more because you see the day coming near.

\w Not|strong="G3361"\w* giving up \w our|strong="G2532"\w* \w meetings|strong="G1997"\w*, \w as|strong="G2531"\w* \w is|strong="G5100"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w way|strong="G5100"\w* \w of|strong="G2250"\w* \w some|strong="G5100"\w*, \w but|strong="G0235"\w* keeping \w one|strong="G5100"\w* \w another|strong="G1438"\w* strong \w in|strong="G2532"\w* faith; \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w all|strong="G3745"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w more|strong="G3123"\w* \w because|strong="G2531"\w* \w you|strong="G2532"\w* \w see|strong="G0991"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w day|strong="G2250"\w* \w coming|strong="G1448"\w* \w near|strong="G1448"\w*. 

For if we do evil on purpose after we have had the knowledge of what is true, there is no more offering for sins,

By faith Noah, being moved by the fear of God, made ready an ark for the salvation of his family, because God had given him news of things which were not seen at the time; and through it the world was judged by him, and he got for his heritage the righteousness which is by faith.

All these came to their end in faith, not having had the heritage; but having seen it with delight far away, they gave witness that they were wanderers and not of the earth.

Give ear to those who are rulers over you, and do as they say: for they keep watch over your souls, ready to give an account of them; let them be able to do this with joy and not with grief, because that would be of no profit to you.
