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

Now when God made his promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no one greater, he swore by himself,

And it could be said that Levi himself, who receives tithes, paid a tithe through Abraham.

and for this reason he is obligated to make sin offerings for himself as well as for the 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.

And he did not enter to offer ¹  himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the sanctuary year after year with blood that is not his own,

He has no need to do every day what those priests do, to offer sacrifices first for their own sins and then for the sins of the people, since he did this in offering himself once for all.

So also Christ did not glorify himself in becoming high priest, but the one who glorified him was God, ¹  who said to him, “You are my Son! Today I have fathered you,” ² 

how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our ¹  consciences from dead works to worship the living God.

Your conduct must be free from the love of money and you must be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you and I will never abandon you.” ¹ 

For the one who enters God’s ¹  rest has also rested from his works, just as God did from his own works.

The Son is ¹  the radiance of his glory and the representation of his essence, and he sustains all things by his powerful word, ²  and so when he had accomplished cleansing for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. ³ 

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