Chapter 1
1 God's Final Word in His Son
God 2316, after He spoke 2980 long 3819 ago 3819 to the fathers 3962 in the prophets 4396 in many 4181 portions 4181 and in many 4187 ways 4187,
2 in these 3778 last 2078 days 2250 has spoken 2980 to us in His Son 5207, whom 3739 He appointed 5087 heir 2818 of all 3956 things 3956, through 1223 whom 3739 also 2532 He made 4160 the world 165.
3 And He is the radiance 541 of His glory 1391 and the exact 5481 representation 5481 of His nature 5287, and upholds 5342 all 3956 things 3956 by the word 4487 of His power 1411. When He had made 4160 purification 2512 of sins 266, He sat 2523 down 2523 at the right 1188 hand 1188 of the Majesty 3172 on high 5308,
4 having become 1096 as much 5118 better 2909 than the angels 32, as He has inherited 2816 a more 1313 excellent 1313 name 3686 than 3844 they.
5 ¶ For to which 5101 of the angels 32 did He ever 4218 say 3004, "YOU ARE MY SON 5207, TODAY 4594 I HAVE BEGOTTEN 1080 YOU"? And again 3825, "I WILL BE A FATHER 3962 TO HIM AND HE SHALL BE A SON 5207 TO ME"?
6 And when 3752 He again 3825 brings 1521 the firstborn 4416 into the world 3625, He says 3004, "AND LET ALL 3956 THE ANGELS 32 OF GOD 2316 WORSHIP 4352 HIM."
7 And of the angels 32 He says 3004, "WHO MAKES 4160 HIS ANGELS 32 WINDS 4151, AND HIS MINISTERS 3011 A FLAME 5395 OF FIRE 4442."
8 But of the Son 5207 {He says,} "YOUR THRONE 2362, O GOD 2316, IS FOREVER 165 AND EVER 165, AND THE RIGHTEOUS 2118 SCEPTER 4464 IS THE SCEPTER 4464 OF HIS KINGDOM 932.
9 "YOU HAVE LOVED 25 RIGHTEOUSNESS 1343 AND HATED 3404 LAWLESSNESS 458; THEREFORE GOD 2316, YOUR GOD 2316, HAS ANOINTED 5548 YOU WITH THE OIL 1637 OF GLADNESS 20 ABOVE 3844 YOUR COMPANIONS 3353."
10 And, "YOU, LORD 2962, IN THE BEGINNING 746 LAID 2311 THE FOUNDATION 2311 OF THE EARTH 1093, AND THE HEAVENS 3772 ARE THE WORKS 2041 OF YOUR HANDS 5495;
11 THEY WILL PERISH 622, BUT YOU REMAIN 1265; AND THEY ALL 3956 WILL BECOME 3822 OLD 3822 LIKE 5613 A GARMENT 2440,
12 AND LIKE 5613 A MANTLE 4018 YOU WILL ROLL 1667 THEM UP; LIKE 5613 A GARMENT 2440 THEY WILL ALSO 2532 BE CHANGED 236. BUT YOU ARE THE SAME 846, AND YOUR YEARS 2094 WILL NOT COME 1587 TO AN END 1587."
13 But to which 5101 of the angels 32 has He ever 4218 said 3004, "SIT 2521 AT MY RIGHT 1188 HAND 1188, UNTIL 2193 I MAKE 5087 YOUR ENEMIES 2190 A FOOTSTOOL 5286 FOR YOUR FEET 4228"?
14 Are they not all 3956 ministering 3010 spirits 4151, sent 649 out to render service 1248 for the sake 1223 of those 3588 who will 3195 inherit 2816 salvation 4991?
Chapter 2
1 Give Heed
For this 3778 reason 1223 we must 1163 pay 4337 much 4057 closer 4057 attention 4337 to what we have heard 191, so 3379 that we do not drift 3901 away 3901 {from it.}
2 For if 1487 the word 3056 spoken 2980 through 1223 angels 32 proved 1096 unalterable 949, and every 3956 transgression 3847 and disobedience 3876 received 2983 a just 1738 penalty 3405,
3 how 4459 will we escape 1628 if we neglect 272 so 5082 great 5082 a salvation 4991? After 3748 it was at the first 746 spoken 2980 through 1223 the Lord 2962, it was confirmed 950 to us by those 3588 who heard 191,
4 God 2316 also testifying 3140 with them, both 5037 by signs 4592 and wonders 5059 and by various 4164 miracles 1411 and by gifts 3311 of the Holy 40 Spirit 4151 according 2596 to His own will 2308.
5 Earth Subject to Man
¶ For He did not subject 5293 to angels 32 the world 3625 to come 3195, concerning 4012 which 3739 we are speaking 2980.
6 But one 5100 has testified 1263 somewhere 4225, saying 3004, "WHAT 5101 IS MAN 444, THAT YOU REMEMBER 3403 HIM? OR 2228 THE SON 5207 OF MAN 444, THAT YOU ARE CONCERNED 1980 ABOUT 1980 HIM?
7 "YOU HAVE MADE 1642 HIM FOR A LITTLE 1024 WHILE 1024 LOWER 1642 THAN 3844 THE ANGELS 32; YOU HAVE CROWNED 4737 HIM WITH GLORY 1391 AND HONOR 5092, AND HAVE APPOINTED 2525 HIM OVER 1909 THE WORKS 2041 OF YOUR HANDS 5495;
8 YOU HAVE PUT 5293 ALL 3956 THINGS 3956 IN SUBJECTION 5293 UNDER 5270 HIS FEET 4228." For in subjecting 5293 all 3956 things 3956 to him, He left 863 nothing 3762 that is not subject 506 to him. But now 3568 we do not yet 3768 see 3708 all 3956 things 3956 subjected 5293 to him.
9 Jesus Briefly Humbled
But we do see 991 Him who was made 1642 for a little 1024 while 1024 lower 1642 than 3844 the angels 32, {namely,} Jesus 2424, because 1223 of the suffering 3804 of death 2288 crowned 4737 with glory 1391 and honor 5092, so 3704 that by the grace 5485 of God 2316 He might taste 1089 death 2288 for everyone 3956.
10 ¶ For it was fitting 4241 for Him, for whom 3739 are all 3956 things 3956, and through 1223 whom 3739 are all 3956 things 3956, in bringing 71 many 4183 sons 5207 to glory 1391, to perfect 5048 the author 747 of their salvation 4991 through 1223 sufferings 3804.
11 For both 5037 He who sanctifies 37 and those 3588 who are sanctified 37 are all 3956 from one 1520 {Father;} for which 3739 reason 156 He is not ashamed 1870 to call 2564 them brethren 80,
12 saying 3004, "I WILL PROCLAIM 518 YOUR NAME 3686 TO MY BRETHREN 80, IN THE MIDST 3319 OF THE CONGREGATION 1577 I WILL SING 5214 YOUR PRAISE 5214."
13 And again 3825, "I WILL PUT 3982 MY TRUST 3982 IN HIM." And again 3825, "BEHOLD 2400, I AND THE CHILDREN 3813 WHOM 3739 GOD 2316 HAS GIVEN 1325 ME."
14 ¶ Therefore 3767, since 1893 the children 3813 share 2841 in flesh 4561 and blood 129, He Himself 846 likewise 3898 also 2532 partook 3348 of the same 846, that through 1223 death 2288 He might render 2673 powerless 2673 him who had 2192 the power 2904 of death 2288, that is, the devil 1228,
15 and might free 525 those who 3745 through fear 5401 of death 2288 were subject 1777 to slavery 1397 all 3956 their lives 2198.
16 For assuredly 1222 He does not give 1949 help 1949 to angels 32, but He gives 1949 help 1949 to the descendant 4690 of Abraham 11.
17 Therefore 3606, He had 3784 to be made 3666 like 3666 His brethren 80 in all 3956 things 3956, so 2443 that He might become 1096 a merciful 1655 and faithful 4103 high 749 priest 749 in things pertaining 4314 to God 2316, to make 2433 propitiation 2433 for the sins 266 of the people 2992.
18 For since He Himself 846 was tempted 3985 in that which 3739 He has suffered 3958, He is able 1410 to come 997 to the aid 997 of those 3588 who are tempted 3985.
Chapter 3
1 Jesus Our High Priest
Therefore 3606, holy 40 brethren 80, partakers 3353 of a heavenly 2032 calling 2821, consider 2657 Jesus 2424, the Apostle 652 and High 749 Priest 749 of our confession 3671;
2 He was faithful 4103 to Him who appointed 4160 Him, as Moses 3475 also 2532 was in all 3650 His house 3624.
3 For He has been counted 515 worthy 515 of more 4183 glory 1391 than 3844 Moses 3475, by just 2596 so 3745 much 3745 as the builder 2680 of the house 3624 has 2192 more 4183 honor 5092 than the house 3624.
4 For every 3956 house 3624 is built 2680 by someone 5100, but the builder 2680 of all 3956 things 3956 is God 2316.
5 Now 2532 Moses 3475 was faithful 4103 in all 3650 His house 3624 as a servant 2324, for a testimony 3142 of those 3588 things which were to be spoken 2980 later;
6 but Christ 5547 {was faithful} as a Son 5207 over 1909 His house 3624--whose 3739 house 3624 we are, if 1437 we hold 2722 fast 2722 our confidence 3954 and the boast 2745 of our hope 1680 firm 949 until 3360 the end 5056.
7 ¶ Therefore 1352, just 2531 as the Holy 40 Spirit 4151 says 3004, "TODAY 4594 IF 1437 YOU HEAR 191 HIS VOICE 5456,
8 DO NOT HARDEN 4645 YOUR HEARTS 2588 AS WHEN 1722 THEY PROVOKED 3894 ME, AS IN THE DAY 2250 OF TRIAL 3986 IN THE WILDERNESS 2048,
9 WHERE 3757 YOUR FATHERS 3962 TRIED 3985 {Me} BY TESTING 1381 {Me,} AND SAW 3708 MY WORKS 2041 FOR FORTY 5065 YEARS 2094.
10 "THEREFORE 1352 I WAS ANGRY 4360 WITH THIS 3778 GENERATION 1074, AND SAID 3004, 'THEY ALWAYS 104 GO 4105 ASTRAY 4105 IN THEIR HEART 2588, AND THEY DID NOT KNOW 1097 MY WAYS 3598';
11 AS I SWORE 3660 IN MY WRATH 3709, 'THEY SHALL NOT ENTER 1525 MY REST 2663.'"
12 The Peril of Unbelief
Take 991 care 991, brethren 80, that there not be in any 5100 one 5100 of you an evil 4190, unbelieving 570 heart 2588 that falls 868 away 868 from the living 2198 God 2316.
13 But encourage 3870 one 1438 another 1438 day 2250 after 2596 day 2250, as long 891 as it is {still} called 2564 "Today 4594," so that none of you will be hardened 4645 by the deceitfulness 539 of sin 266.
14 For we have become 1096 partakers 3353 of Christ 5547, if we hold 2722 fast 2722 the beginning 746 of our assurance 5287 firm 949 until 3360 the end 5056,
15 while 1722 it is said 3004, "TODAY 4594 IF 1437 YOU HEAR 191 HIS VOICE 5456, DO NOT HARDEN 4645 YOUR HEARTS 2588, AS WHEN 1722 THEY PROVOKED 3894 ME."
16 For who 5101 provoked 3893 {Him} when they had heard 191? Indeed 235, did not all 3956 those 3588 who 5101 came 1831 out of Egypt 125 {led} by Moses 3475?
17 And with whom 5101 was He angry 4360 for forty 5065 years 2094? Was it not with those 3588 who 5101 sinned 264, whose 3739 bodies 2966 fell 4098 in the wilderness 2048?
18 And to whom 5101 did He swear 3660 that they would not enter 1525 His rest 2663, but to those 3588 who 5101 were disobedient 544?
19 {So} we see 991 that they were not able 1410 to enter 1525 because 1223 of unbelief 570.
Chapter 4
1 The Believer's Rest
Therefore 3767, let us fear 5399 if 3379, while a promise 1860 remains 2641 of entering 1525 His rest 2663, any 5100 one 5100 of you may seem 1380 to have come 5302 short 5302 of it.
2 For indeed 2532 we have had good 2097 news 2097 preached 2097 to us, just 2509 as they also 2548; but the word 3056 they heard 189 did not profit 5623 them, because it was not united 4786 by faith 4102 in those 3588 who 5101 heard 191.
3 For we who 5101 have believed 4100 enter 1525 that rest 2663, just 2531 as He has said 3004, "AS I SWORE 3660 IN MY WRATH 3709, THEY SHALL NOT ENTER 1525 MY REST 2663," although 2543 His works 2041 were finished 1096 from the foundation 2602 of the world 2889.
4 For He has said 3004 somewhere 4225 concerning 4012 the seventh 1442 {day:} "AND GOD 2316 RESTED 2664 ON THE SEVENTH 1442 DAY 2250 FROM ALL 3956 HIS WORKS 2041";
5 and again 3825 in this 3778 {passage,} "THEY SHALL NOT ENTER 1525 MY REST 2663."
6 Therefore 3767, since 1893 it remains 620 for some 5100 to enter 1525 it, and those 3588 who 5101 formerly 4387 had good 2097 news 2097 preached 2097 to them failed 3756 to enter 1525 because 1223 of disobedience 543,
7 He again 3825 fixes 3724 a certain 5100 day 2250, "Today 4594," saying 3004 through 1722 David 1160 after 3326 so 5118 long 5118 a time 5550 just 2531 as has been said 4275 before 4275, "TODAY 4594 IF 1437 YOU HEAR 191 HIS VOICE 5456, DO NOT HARDEN 4645 YOUR HEARTS 2588."
8 For if 1437 Joshua 2424 had given 2664 them rest 2664, He would not have spoken 2980 of another 243 day 2250 after 3326 that.
9 So 686 there remains 620 a Sabbath 4520 rest 4520 for the people 2992 of God 2316.
10 For the one who 5101 has entered 1525 His rest 2663 has himself 846 also 2532 rested 2664 from his works 2041, as God 2316 did from His.
11 Therefore 3767 let us be diligent 4704 to enter 1525 that rest 2663, so that no 3361 one 5100 will fall 4098, through 1722 {following} the same 846 example 5262 of disobedience 543.
12 For the word 3056 of God 2316 is living 2198 and active 1756 and sharper 5114 than 5228 any 3956 two-edged 1366 sword 3162, and piercing 1338 as far 891 as the division 3311 of soul 5590 and spirit 4151, of both 5037 joints 719 and marrow 3452, and able 2924 to judge 2924 the thoughts 1761 and intentions 1771 of the heart 2588.
13 And there is no 3756 creature 2937 hidden 852 from His sight 1799, but all 3956 things 3956 are open 1131 and laid 5136 bare 5136 to the eyes 3788 of Him with whom 3739 we have 3056 to do 3056.
14 ¶ Therefore 3767, since we have 2192 a great 3173 high 749 priest 749 who 5101 has passed 1330 through 1330 the heavens 3772, Jesus 2424 the Son 5207 of God 2316, let us hold 2902 fast 2902 our confession 3671.
15 For we do not have 2192 a high 749 priest 749 who 5101 cannot sympathize 4834 with our weaknesses 769, but One who 5101 has been tempted 3985 in all 3956 things 3956 as {we are, yet} without 5565 sin 266.
16 Therefore 3767 let us draw 4334 near 4334 with confidence 3954 to the throne 2362 of grace 5485, so 2443 that we may receive 2983 mercy 1656 and find 2147 grace 5485 to help 996 in time 2121 of need 2121.
Chapter 5
1 The Perfect High Priest
For every 3956 high 749 priest 749 taken 2983 from among 1537 men 444 is appointed 2525 on behalf 5228 of men 444 in things pertaining 4314 to God 2316, in order 2443 to offer 4374 both 5037 gifts 1435 and sacrifices 2378 for sins 266;
2 he can 1410 deal 3356 gently 3356 with the ignorant 50 and misguided 4105, since 1893 he himself 846 also 2532 is beset 4029 with weakness 769;
3 and because 1223 of it he is obligated 3784 to offer 4374 {sacrifices} for sins 266, as for the people 2992, so 3779 also 2532 for himself 1438.
4 And no 3756 one 5100 takes 2983 the honor 5092 to himself 1438, but {receives it} when he is called 2564 by God 2316, even 2531 as Aaron 2 was.
5 ¶ So 3779 also 2532 Christ 5547 did not glorify 1392 Himself 1438 so as to become 1096 a high 749 priest 749, but He who 5101 said 2980 to Him, "YOU ARE MY SON 5207, TODAY 4594 I HAVE BEGOTTEN 1080 YOU";
6 just 2531 as He says 3004 also 2532 in another 2087 {passage,} "YOU ARE A PRIEST 2409 FOREVER 165 ACCORDING 2596 TO THE ORDER 5010 OF MELCHIZEDEK 3198."
7 In the days 2250 of His flesh 4561, He offered 4374 up both 5037 prayers 1162 and supplications 2428 with loud 2478 crying 2906 and tears 1144 to the One able 1410 to save 4982 Him from death 2288, and He was heard 1522 because 575 of His piety 2124.
8 Although 2539 He was a Son 5207, He learned 3129 obedience 5218 from the things which 3739 He suffered 3958.
9 And having been made 5048 perfect 5048, He became 1096 to all 3956 those 3588 who obey 5219 Him the source 159 of eternal 166 salvation 4991,
10 being designated 4316 by God 2316 as a high 749 priest 749 according 2596 to the order 5010 of Melchizedek 3198.
11 ¶ Concerning 4012 him we have much 4183 to say 3056, and {it is} hard 1421 to explain 1421, since 1893 you have become 1096 dull 3576 of hearing 189.
12 For though 2532 by this 3588 time 5550 you ought 3784 to be teachers 1320, you have 2192 need 5532 again 3825 for someone 5100 to teach 1321 you the elementary principles 4747 of the oracles 3051 of God 2316, and you have come 1096 to need 5532 milk 1051 and not solid 4731 food 5160.
13 For everyone 3956 who partakes 3348 {only} of milk 1051 is not accustomed 552 to the word 3056 of righteousness 1343, for he is an infant 3516.
14 But solid 4731 food 5160 is for the mature 5046, who because 1223 of practice 1838 have 2192 their senses 145 trained 1128 to discern 1253 good 2570 and evil 2556.
Chapter 6
1 The Peril of Falling Away
Therefore 1352 leaving 863 the elementary 746 teaching 3056 about the Christ 5547, let us press 5342 on to maturity 5047, not laying 2598 again 3825 a foundation 2310 of repentance 3341 from dead 3498 works 2041 and of faith 4102 toward 1909 God 2316,
2 of instruction 1322 about washings 909 and laying 1936 on of hands 5495, and the
