For the one who enters God&#8217;s<n id="1" /> rest has also rested from his works, just as God did from his own works.

Thus we must make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by following the same pattern of disobedience.

Therefore let us confidently approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and find grace whenever we need help.<n id="1" />p>

Without father, without mother, without genealogy, he has neither beginning of days nor end of life but is like the son of God, and he remains a priest for all time.

but Jesus<n id="1" /> did so<n id="2" /> with a sworn affirmation by the one who said to him, &#8220;<i><b>The Lord has sworn and will not change his mindb>,i> &#8216;<b><i>You are a priest foreveri>b>&#8217;&#8221;<n id="3" /> &#8211;

For the law appoints as high priests men subject to weakness,<n id="1" /> but the word of solemn affirmation that came after the law appoints a son made perfect forever.p>

For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. So this one too had to have something to offer.

But only the high priest enters once a year into the inner tent,<n id="1" /> and not without blood that he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance.<n id="2" />

This was a symbol for the time then present, when gifts and sacrifices were offered that could not perfect the conscience of the worshiper.

and he entered once for all into the most holy place not by the blood of goats and calves but by his own blood, and so he himself secured<n id="1" /> eternal redemption.

for then he would have had to suffer again and again since the foundation of the world. But now he has appeared once for all at the consummation of the ages to put away sin by his sacrifice.

By faith he lived as a foreigner<n id="1" /> in the promised land as though it were a foreign country, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, who were fellow heirs<n id="2" /> of the same promise.

By faith, even though Sarah herself was barren and he was too old,<n id="1" /> he received the ability to procreate,<n id="2" /> because he regarded the one who had given the promise to be trustworthy.

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

For they disciplined us for a little while as seemed good to them, but he does so for our benefit, that we may share his holiness.

For the bodies of those animals whose blood the high priest brings<n id="1" /> into the sanctuary as an offering for sin are burned outside the camp.

For it was fitting for him, for whom and through whom all things exist,<n id="1" /> in bringing many sons to glory, to make the pioneer<n id="2" /> of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

Therefore he had<n id="1" /> to be made like his brothers and sisters<n id="2" /> in every respect, so that he could become a merciful and faithful high priest in things relating to God, to make atonement<n id="3" /> for the sins of the people.

For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love you have demonstrated for his name, in having served and continuing to serve the saints.

how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our<n id="1" /> consciences from dead works to worship the living God.p>
