For we have great thankfulness and encouragement through thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.

for love's sake I rather exhort, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now also prisoner of Jesus Christ.

I exhort thee for *my* child, whom I have begotten in [my] bonds, Onesimus,

whom *I* was desirous of keeping with myself, that for thee he might minister to me in the bonds of the glad tidings;

for perhaps for this reason he has been separated [from thee] for a time, that thou mightest possess him fully for ever;

But withal prepare me also a lodging; for I hope that I shall be granted to you through your prayers.

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?

Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out for service on account of those who shall inherit salvation?

For this reason we should give heed more abundantly to the things [we have] heard, lest in any way we should slip away.

For if the word which was spoken by angels was firm, and every transgression and disobedience received just retribution,

For he has not subjected to angels the habitable world which is to come, of which we speak;

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*,

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.

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.

For both he that sanctifies and those sanctified [are] all of one; for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

For he does not indeed take hold of angels [by the hand], but he takes hold of the seed of Abraham.

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;

for, in that himself has suffered, being tempted, he is able to help those that are being tempted.

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.

For every house is built by some one; but he who has built all things [is] God.
