But give comfort to one another every day as long as it is still Today; so that no one among you may be made hard by the deceit of sin:

So we see that they were not able to go in because they had no belief.

Let us then, though we still have God's word that we may come into his rest, go in fear that some of you may be unable to do so.

So that as it is clear that some have to go in, and that the first hearers of the good news were not able to go in because they went against God's orders,

So that there is still a Sabbath-keeping for the people of God.

Then let us come near to the seat of grace without fear, so that mercy may be given to us, and we may get grace for our help in time of need.

Every high priest who is taken from among men is given his position to take care of the interests of men in those things which have to do with God, so that he may make offerings for sins.

So that you may not be slow in heart, but may take as your example those to whom God has given their heritage, because of their faith and their long waiting.

And so, when he had been waiting calmly for a long time, God's word to him was put into effect.

So that when it was God's desire to make it specially clear to those who by his word were to have the heritage, that his purpose was fixed, he made it more certain with an oath;

So that we, who have gone in flight from danger to the hope which has been put before us, may have a strong comfort in two unchanging things, in which it is not possible for God to be false;

So the law which went before is put on one side, because it was feeble and without profit.

By so much is it a better agreement which we have through Jesus.

So that he is fully able to be the saviour of all who come to God through him, because he is ever living to make prayer to God for them.

Now every high priest is given authority to take to God the things which are given and to make offerings; so that it is necessary for this man, like them, to have something for an offering.

And for this cause it is through him that a new agreement has come into being, so that after the errors under the first agreement had been taken away by his death, the word of God might have effect for those who were marked out for an eternal heritage.

So that even the first agreement was not made without blood.

So Christ, having at his first coming taken on himself the sins of men, will be seen a second time, without sin, by those who are waiting for him, for their salvation.

So that when he comes into the world, he says, You had no desire for offerings, but you made a body ready for me;

Then he said, See, I have come to do your pleasure. He took away the old order, so that he might put the new order in its place.
