For since he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

By his will we have been made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

But see how great he must be, if Abraham the patriarch gave him a tithe of his plunder.

In the same way God wanted to demonstrate more clearly to the heirs of the promise that his purpose was unchangeable, and so he intervened with an oath,

To him also Abraham apportioned a tithe of everything. His name first means king of righteousness, then king of Salem, that is, king of peace.

How much greater punishment do you think that person deserves who has contempt for the Son of God, and profanes the blood of the covenant that made him holy, and insults the Spirit of grace?

equip you with every good thing to do his will, working in us what is pleasing before him through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever. Amen.
