And see to it that no one becomes<n id="1" /> an immoral or godless person like Esau, who <i>sold his own birthright for a single meali>.<n id="2" />

Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience and desire to conduct ourselves rightly in every respect.

The Son is<n id="1" /> the radiance of his glory and the representation of his essence, and he sustains all things by his powerful word,<n id="2" /> and so when he had accomplished cleansing for sins, <i>he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on highi>.<n id="3" />

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.

It contained the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered entirely with gold. In this ark<n id="1" /> were the golden urn containing the manna, Aaron&#8217;s rod that budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant.

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>

<p class="bodytext">And so he is the mediator<n id="1" /> of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the eternal inheritance he has promised,<n id="2" /> since he died<n id="3" /> to set them free from the violations committed under the first covenant.

These all died in faith without receiving the things promised,<n id="1" /> but they saw them in the distance and welcomed them and acknowledged that they were strangers and foreigners<n id="2" /> on the earth.

equip you with every good thing to do his will, working in us<n id="1" /> what is pleasing before him through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever.<n id="2" /> Amen.p>

<p class="bodytext">But to which of the angels<n id="1" /> has he ever said, &#8220;<b><i>Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feeti>b>&#8221;?<n id="2" />

For indeed he who makes holy and those being made holy all have the same origin,<n id="1" /> and so<n id="2" /> he is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters,<n id="3" />

For he has come to deserve greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house deserves greater honor than the house itself!

In the same way<n id="1" /> God wanted to demonstrate more clearly to the heirs of the promise that his purpose was unchangeable,<n id="2" /> and so he intervened with an oath,

To him<n id="1" /> also <b><i>Abraham apportioned a tithei>b><n id="2" /> <b><i>of everythingi>b>.<n id="3" /> His name first means<n id="4" /> king of righteousness, then <b><i>king of Salemi>b>, that is, king of peace.

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

For a tent was prepared, the outer one,<n id="1" /> which contained<n id="2" /> the lampstand, the table, and the presentation of the loaves; this<n id="3" /> is called the holy place.

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" />

So it was necessary for the sketches<n id="1" /> of the things in heaven to be purified with these sacrifices,<n id="2" /> but the heavenly things themselves required<n id="3" /> better sacrifices than these.

so also, after Christ was offered once to <i>bear the sins of manyi>,<n id="1" /> to those who eagerly await him he will appear a second time, not to bear sin<n id="2" /> but to bring salvation.<n id="3" />p>
