1:1 God having spoken in many parts and in many ways formerly to
 the fathers in the prophets,
1:2 at the end of these days has spoken to us in [the person of
 the] Son, whom he has established heir of all things, by whom
 also he made the worlds;
1:3 who being [the] effulgence of his glory and [the] expression
 of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his
 power, having made [by himself] the purification of sins, set
 himself down on the right hand of the greatness on high,
1:4 taking a place by so much better than the angels, as he
 inherits a name more excellent than they.
1:5 For to which of the angels said he ever, *Thou* art my Son:
 this day have *I* begotten thee? and again, *I* will be to him
 for father, and *he* shall be to me for son?
1:6 and again, when he brings in the firstborn into the
 habitable world, he says, And let all God's angels worship him.
1:7 And as to the angels he says, Who makes his angels spirits
 and his ministers a flame of fire;
1:8 but as to the Son, Thy throne, O God, [is] to the age of the
 age, and a sceptre of uprightness [is] the sceptre of thy
 kingdom.
1:9 Thou hast loved righteousness and hast hated lawlessness;
 therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with oil of gladness
 above thy companions.
1:10 And, *Thou* in the beginning, Lord, hast founded the earth,
 and works of thy hands are the heavens.
1:11 They shall perish, but *thou* continuest still; and they
 all shall grow old as a garment,
1:12 and as a covering shalt thou roll them up, and they shall
 be changed; but *thou* art the Same, and thy years shall not
 fail.
1:13 But as to which of the angels said he ever, Sit at my right
 hand until I put thine enemies [as] footstool of thy feet?
1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out for service
 on account of those who shall inherit salvation?
2:1 For this reason we should give heed more abundantly to the
 things [we have] heard, lest in any way we should slip away.
2:2 For if the word which was spoken by angels was firm, and
 every transgression and disobedience received just retribution,
2:3 how shall *we* escape if we have been negligent of so great
 salvation, which, having had its commencement in being spoken
 [of] by the Lord, has been confirmed to us by those who have
 heard;
2:4 God bearing, besides, witness with [them] to [it], both by
 signs and wonders, and various acts of power, and distributions
 of [the] Holy Spirit, according to his will?
2:5 For he has not subjected to angels the habitable world which
 is to come, of which we speak;
2:6 but one has testified somewhere, saying, What is man, that
 thou rememberest him, or son of man that thou visitest him?
2:7 Thou hast made him some little inferior to the angels; thou
 hast crowned him with glory and honour, [and hast set him over
 the works of thy hands;]
2:8 thou hast subjected all things under his feet. For in
 subjecting all things to him, he has left nothing unsubject to
 him. But now we see not yet all things subjected to *him*,
2:9 but we see Jesus, who [was] made some little inferior to
 angels on account of the suffering of death, crowned with glory
 and honour; so that by the grace of God he should taste death
 for every thing.
2:10 For it became him, for whom [are] all things, and by whom
 [are] all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make
 perfect the leader of their salvation through sufferings.
2:11 For both he that sanctifies and those sanctified [are] all
 of one; for which cause he is not ashamed to call them
 brethren,
2:12 saying, I will declare thy name to my brethren; in [the]
 midst of [the] assembly will I sing thy praises.
2:13 And again, I will trust in him. And again, Behold, I and
 the children which God has given me.
2:14 Since therefore the children partake of blood and flesh, he
 also, in like manner, took part in the same, that through death
 he might annul him who has the might of death, that is, the
 devil;
2:15 and might set free all those who through fear of death
 through the whole of their life were subject to bondage.
2:16 For he does not indeed take hold of angels [by the hand],
 but he takes hold of the seed of Abraham.
2:17 Wherefore it behoved him in all things to be made like to
 [his] brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high
 priest in things relating to God, to make propitiation for the
 sins of the people;
2:18 for, in that himself has suffered, being tempted, he is
 able to help those that are being tempted.
3:1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of [the] heavenly
 calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our
 confession, Jesus,
3:2 who is faithful to him that has constituted him, as Moses
 also in all his house.
3:3 For *he* has been counted worthy of greater glory than
 Moses, by how much he that has built it has more honour than
 the house.
3:4 For every house is built by some one; but he who has built
 all things [is] God.
3:5 And Moses indeed [was] faithful in all his house, as a
 ministering servant, for a testimony of the things to be spoken
 after;
3:6 but Christ, as Son over his house, whose house are *we*, if
 indeed we hold fast the boldness and the boast of hope firm to
 the end.
3:7 Wherefore, even as says the Holy Spirit, To-day if ye will
 hear his voice,
3:8 harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of
 temptation in the wilderness;
3:9 where your fathers tempted [me], by proving [me], and saw my
 works forty years.
3:10 Wherefore I was wroth with this generation, and said, They
 always err in heart; and *they* have not known my ways;
3:11 so I swore in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest.
3:12 See, brethren, lest there be in any one of you a wicked
 heart of unbelief, in turning away from [the] living God.
3:13 But encourage yourselves each day, as long as it is called
 To-day, that none of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of
 sin.
3:14 For we are become companions of the Christ if indeed we
 hold the beginning of the assurance firm to the end;
3:15 in that it is said, To-day if ye will hear his voice, do
 not harden your hearts, as in the provocation;
3:16 (for who was it, who, having heard, provoked? but [was it]
 not all who came out of Egypt by Moses?
3:17 And with whom was he wroth forty years? [Was it] not with
 those who had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
3:18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his
 rest, but to those who had not hearkened to the word?
3:19 And we see that they could not enter in on account of
 unbelief;)
4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left of
 entering into his rest, any one of you might seem to have
 failed [of it].
4:2 For indeed we have had glad tidings presented to us, even as
 they also; but the word of the report did not profit *them*,
 not being mixed with faith in those who heard.
4:3 For we enter into the rest who have believed; as he said, As
 I have sworn in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest;
 although the works had been completed from [the] foundation of
 [the] world.
4:4 For he has said somewhere of the seventh [day] thus, And God
 rested on the seventh day from all his works:
4:5 and in this again, If they shall enter into my rest.
4:6 Seeing therefore it remains that some enter into it, and
 those who first received the glad tidings did not enter in on
 account of not hearkening to the word,
4:7 again he determines a certain day, saying, in David,
 'To-day,' after so long a time; (according as it has been said
 before), To-day, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your
 hearts.
4:8 For if Jesus had brought them into rest, he would not have
 spoken afterwards about another day.
4:9 There remains then a sabbatism to the people of God.
4:10 For he that has entered into his rest, he also has rested
 from his works, as God did from his own.
4:11 Let us therefore use diligence to enter into that rest,
 that no one may fall after the same example of not hearkening
 to the word.
4:12 For the word of God [is] living and operative, and
