in these last days spoke to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds,

who is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power; who, having accomplished cleansing for sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

And of the angels He says,"Who makes His angels winds,And His ministers flaming fire."

God also testifying with them, both by signs and wonders and by various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His own will.

You have put all things in subjection under his feet."For in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we do not yet see all things subjected to him.

Therefore, He had to be made like His brothers in all things, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was in all His house.

Now Moses was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later,

but Christ was faithful as a Son over His house—whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope.

Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says,"Today if you hear His voice,

while it is said,"Today if you hear His voice,Do not harden your hearts, as when they provoked Me."

And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who were disobedient?

Therefore, let us fear, lest, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have fallen short of it.

For we who have believed enter that rest, just as He has said,"As I swore in My wrath,They shall not enter My rest,"although His works were finished from the foundation of the world.

For He has spoken somewhere in this way concerning the seventh day: "And God rested on the seventh day from all His works";

He again determines a certain day, "Today," saying through David after so long a time just as has been said before,"Today if you hear His voice,Do not harden your hearts."

For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His.

And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are uncovered and laid bare to the eyes of Him to whom we have an account to give.

He, in the days of His flesh, offered up both prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to the One able to save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverence.

For God is not unrighteous so as to forget your work and the love which you have shown toward His name, in having ministered and continuing to minister to the saints.
