14  Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15  For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16  Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive merc...

12  For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13  And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.     The Holy Bible: English Standard Version...

Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem to have failed to reach it. 2  For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened. 3  For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said,   “As I swore in my wrath,   ‘...

A Rest for the People of God 7  Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says,   “Today, if you hear his voice,   8  do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,   on the day of testing in the wilderness,   9  where your fathers put me to the test   and saw my works for forty years.   10  Therefore I was provoked with that generation,   and said, ‘They...

3  Therefore, holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession, 2  who was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God’s house. 3  For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself. 4  (For...

14  Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, 15  and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. 16  For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he helps the offspring of Abraham. 17  There...

10  For it was fitting that he, for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the founder of their salvation perfect through suffering. 11  For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one source. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brothers, 12  saying,   “I will tell of your name to my brothers;   in the midst of...

5  For it was not to angels that God subjected the world to come, of which we are speaking. 6  It has been testified somewhere,   “What is man, that you are mindful of him,   or the son of man, that you care for him?   7  You made him for a little while lower than the angels;   you have crowned him with glory and honor,   8  putting everything in subjec...

2  Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. 2  For since the message declared by angels proved to be reliable, and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution, 3  how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard, 4&nbsp...

5  For to which of the angels did God ever say,   “You are my Son,   today I have begotten you”?   Or again,   “I will be to him a father,   and he shall be to me a son”?   6  And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says,   “Let all God’s angels worship him.”   7  Of the angels he says,   “He makes his angels winds, &nb...

1  Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2  but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. 3  He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification...
