But Christ being come high priest of the good things to come, by the better and more perfect tabernacle not made with hand, (that is, not of this creation,)

nor by blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, has entered in once for all into the [holy of] holies, having found an eternal redemption.

[It was] necessary then that the figurative representations of the things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with sacrifices better than these.

For the Christ is not entered into holy places made with hand, figures of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear before the face of God for us:

since he had [then] been obliged often to suffer from the foundation of the world. But now once in the consummation of the ages he has been manifested for [the] putting away of sin by his sacrifice.

But in these [there is] a calling to mind of sins yearly.

Wherefore coming into the world he says, Sacrifice and offering thou willedst not; but thou hast prepared me a body.

But *he*, having offered one sacrifice for sins, sat down in perpetuity at [the] right hand of God,

But where there [is] remission of these, [there is] no longer a sacrifice for sin.

not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the custom [is] with some; but encouraging [one another], and by so much the more as ye see the day drawing near.

But call to mind the earlier days in which, having been enlightened, ye endured much conflict of sufferings;

But the just shall live by faith; and, if he draw back, my soul does not take pleasure in him.

But *we* are not drawers back to perdition, but of faith to saving [the] soul.

But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]. For he that draws near to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them who seek him out.

All these died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them from afar off and embraced [them], and confessed that they were strangers and sojourners on the earth.

but now they seek a better, that is, a heavenly; wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God; for he has prepared for them a city.

But if ye are without chastening, of which all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

For they indeed chastened for a few days, as seemed good to them; but he for profit, in order to the partaking of his holiness.

But no chastening at the time seems to be [matter] of joy, but of grief; but afterwards yields [the] peaceful fruit of righteousness to those exercised by it.
