Jesus the Great High Priest

14 Since then we have (A)a great high priest (B)who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, (C)let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest (D)who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been (E)tempted as we are, (F)yet without sin. 16 (G)Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself. (For every house is built by someone, but (A)the builder of all things is God.) (B)Now Moses was faithful in all God's house (C)as a servant, (D)to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, but Christ is faithful over God's house as (E)a son. And (F)we are his house, if indeed we (G)hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.[a]

For we are (A)God's fellow workers. You are God's field, (B)God's building.

10 (C)According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled[a] master builder I laid a (D)foundation, and (E)someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. 11 For no one can lay a (F)foundation other (G)than that which is laid, (H)which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— 13 (I)each one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed (J)by fire, and (K)the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. 14 If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, (L)he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, (M)but only as through fire.
