where he is now waiting ¹  until his enemies are made a footstool for his feet. ² 

For by one offering he has perfected for all time those who are made holy.

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

For where there is a will, the death of the one who made it must be proven. ¹ 

For God had provided something better for us, so that they would be made perfect together with us. ¹ 

You made him lower than the angels for a little while. You crowned him with glory and honor. ¹ 

By his will ¹  we have been made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

for the law made nothing perfect. On the other hand a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.

For a will takes effect only at death, since it carries no force while the one who made it is alive.

And let us hold unwaveringly to the hope that we confess, for the one who made the promise is trustworthy.

For the law appoints as high priests men subject to weakness, ¹  but the word of solemn affirmation that came after the law appoints a son made perfect forever.

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

But now Christ has come ¹  as the high priest of the good things to come. He passed through the greater and more perfect tent not made with hands, that is, not of this creation,

and congregation of the firstborn, who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous, who have been made perfect,

but we see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, ¹  now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, ²  so that by God’s grace he would experience ³  death on behalf of everyone.

For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with hands – the representation ¹  of the true sanctuary ²  – but into heaven itself, and he appears now in God’s presence for us.

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

“It will not be like the covenant ¹  that I made with their fathers, on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they did not continue in my covenant and I had no regard for them, says the Lord.

How much greater punishment do you think that person deserves who has contempt for ¹  the Son of God, and profanes ²  the blood of the covenant that made him holy, ³  and insults the Spirit of grace?

By faith we understand that the worlds ¹  were set in order at God’s command, ²  so that the visible has its origin in the invisible. ³
