Hebrews
Heb.1
[1] God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
[2]
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom
also he made the worlds;
[3] Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person,
and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down
on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
[4] Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by
inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
[5] For unto which of the angels said he at any
time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall
be to me a Son?
[6] And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let
all the angels of God worship him.
[7] And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and
his ministers a flame of fire.
[8] But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a
sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
[9] Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated
iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
[10]
And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of
thine hands:
[11] They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
[12]
And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy
years shall not fail.
[13] But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make
thine enemies thy footstool?
[14] Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who
shall be heirs of salvation?
Heb.2
[1] Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any
time we should let them slip.
[2] For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression
and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;
[3] How shall we escape, if we neglect so great
salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that
heard him;
[4] God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles,
and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?
[5] For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection
the world to come, whereof we speak.
[6] But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that
thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?
[7] Thou madest him a little lower than
the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:
[8]
Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he
left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.
[9] But we see
Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and
honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
[10] For it became him, for whom
are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their
salvation perfect through sufferings.
[11] For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all
of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
[12] Saying, I will declare thy name
unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
[13] And again, I will put my
trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.
[14] Forasmuch then as the
children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through
death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
[15] And deliver them who
through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
[16] For verily he took not on him the
nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
[17] Wherefore in all things it behoved him
to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining
to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
[18] For in that he himself hath suffered being
tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
Heb.3
[1] Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of
our profession, Christ Jesus;
[2] Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful
in all his house.
[3] For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who
