And every priest stands day after day serving and offering the same sacrifices again and again – sacrifices that can never take away sins.

For we know the one who said, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge his people.”

Think of him who endured such opposition against himself by sinners, so that you may not grow weary in your souls and give up.

Endure your suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is there that a father does not discipline?

And see to it that no one becomes an immoral or godless person like Esau, who sold his own birthright for a single meal.
