Beginning

1 In the past palai · ho God theos spoke laleō to our ho fathers patēr at different times polymerōs and kai in various ways polytropōs through en the ho prophets prophētēs, ² but in epi these houtos final eschatos · ho days hēmera he has spoken laleō to us hēmeis by en his Son hyios, whom hos he appointed tithēmi the heir klēronomos of all things pas, through dia whom hos he also kai created poieō the ho material universe aiōn. ³ This hos Son is eimi the radiance apaugasma of his ho glory doxa and kai the exact representation charaktēr of ho his autos nature hypostasis, and te although sustaining pherō · ho all there is pas by ho the word rhēma of ho his autos power dynamis, yet made poieō purification katharismos for ho sins hamartia, and then sat down kathizō at en the right hand dexios of the ho Majesty megalōsynē on en high hypsēlos, ⁴ having been ginomai exalted kreittōn as far above tosoutos the ho angels angelos as the name onoma he inherited klēronomeō is more hosos noble diaphoros than para theirs autos.

⁵ For gar to which tis of the ho angels angelos did God ever pote say legō, “ My egō Son hyios are eimi you sy! Today sēmeron I egō have fathered gennaō you sy”? Or kai again palin, “ I egō will be eimi to him autos a father patēr, and kai he autos shall be eimi to me egō a son hyios”? ⁶ And de again palin, when hotan he brings eisagō the ho firstborn prōtotokos into eis the ho world oikoumenē, he says legō, · kai “ Let all pas the angels angelos of God theos worship proskyneō him autos.” ⁷ · kai Regarding pros the ho angels angelos he says legō, “ He ho makes poieō · ho his autos angels angelos winds pneuma, and kai · ho his autos ministers leitourgos a flame phlox of fire pyr.” ⁸ But de regarding pros the ho Son hyios he says, · ho “ Your sy throne thronos, O ho God theos, is for eis all ho time aiōn ho, · ho and kai the ho scepter rhabdos of ho absolute justice euthutēs is the scepter rhabdos of ho your sy kingdom basileia. ⁹ You have loved agapaō righteousness dikaiosynē and kai hated miseō lawlessness anomia; therefore dia houtos · ho God theos, · ho your sy God theos, has anointed chriō you sy with the oil elaion of gladness agalliasis beyond para · ho your sy companions metochos.” ¹⁰ And kai, “ In kata the beginning archē, Lord kyrios, you sy laid the foundation themelioō of the ho earth gē, and kai the ho heavens ouranos are eimi the works ergon of ho your sy hands cheir. ¹¹ They autos will perish apollymi; but de you sy continue diamenō. And kai all pas of them like hōs a garment himation will wear out palaioō, ¹² · kai like hōsei a robe peribolaion you will fold helissō them autos up , like hōs a garment himation they will also kai be changed allassō. But de you sy are eimi the ho same autos, and kai · ho your sy years etos will never ou end ekleipō.” ¹³ And de to pros which tis of the ho angels angelos has he ever pote said legō, “ Sit kathēmai at ek my egō right hand dexios until heōs an I make tithēmi · ho your sy enemies echthros a footstool hypopodion for ho your sy feet pous”? ¹⁴ Are they eimi not ouchi all pas ministering leitourgikos spirits pneuma sent out apostellō to eis serve diakonia for dia the sake of those ho who are mellō to inherit klēronomeō salvation sōtēria?

2 Therefore dia houtos we hēmeis must dei pay much closer perissoterōs attention prosechō to what ho we have heard akouō, lest mēpote we drift away from pararreō it. ² For gar if ei the ho message logos spoken laleō through dia angels angelos became ginomai firmly established bebaios and kai every pas transgression parabasis and kai disobedience parakoē received lambanō a just endikos penalty misthapodosia, ³ how pōs will we hēmeis escape ekpheugō if we neglect ameleō such a great tēlikoutos salvation sōtēria? Which hostis at first archē was declared lambanō by dia the ho Lord kyrios, and it was attested bebaioō to eis us hēmeis by hypo those ho who heard akouō, ⁴ while God theos supported their testimony synepimartyreō · ho by signs sēmeion and kai wonders teras and kai various poikilos miracles dynamis, and kai by gifts of the Holy hagios Spirit pneuma distributed merismos according to kata · ho his autos will thelēsis.

⁵ Now gar it was not ou to angels angelos that God subjected hypotassō the ho world oikoumenē · ho to come mellō, about peri which hos we are speaking laleō. ⁶ But de someone tis has testified diamartyromai somewhere pou, “ What tis is eimi man anthrōpos that hoti you take thought mimnēskomai for him autos, or ē the son hyios of man anthrōpos, that hoti you care for episkeptomai him autos? ⁷ You made elattoō him autos for a tis little while brachus lower than para the angels angelos; you crowned stephanoō him autos with glory doxa and kai honor timē, ⁸ You put everything pas in subjection hypotassō under hypokatō · ho his autos feet pous.” Now gar in en putting everything pas in subjection hypotassō to him autos, · ho he left aphiēmi nothing oudeis outside his autos control anypotaktos. But de in fact nyn we do not yet oupō see horaō everything pas under his autos · ho control hypotassō. ⁹ But de we do see blepō Jesus Iēsous, who ho for a tis little while brachus was made lower elattoō than para the angels angelos, so that hopōs by charis the grace charis of God theos he might taste geuomai death thanatos for hyper everyone pas, because dia of the ho suffering pathēma of ho death thanatos crowned stephanoō with glory doxa and kai honor timē.

¹⁰ For gar it was appropriate prepō that God autos, for dia whom hos · ho and kai through dia whom hos · ho all pas things exist, in bringing agō many polys sons hyios to eis glory doxa, should make teleioō the ho champion archēgos of ho their autos salvation sōtēria perfect teleioō through dia suffering pathēma. ¹¹ For gar the ho one who sanctifies hagiazō and kai those ho who are sanctified hagiazō are all pas of ek one heis origin. That is why dia Jesus is not ou ashamed epaischunomai to call kaleō them autos brothers adelphos, ¹² when he says legō, “ I will proclaim apangellō · ho your sy name onoma to ho my egō brothers adelphos; in en the midst mesos of the congregation ekklēsia I will sing hymneō your sy praise .” ¹³ And kai again palin, “ I egō will eimi put my trust peithō in epi him autos.” And kai again palin, “ Here idou I egō am and kai the ho children paidion whom hos God theos has given didōmi me egō.” · ho

¹⁴ Therefore oun since epei the ho children paidion share koinōneō in blood haima and kai flesh sarx, he himself autos also kai, in the same way paraplēsiōs, shared metechō the ho same autos things so that hina by dia his ho death thanatos he might destroy katargeō the ho one who holds echō the ho power kratos of ho death thanatos ( that houtos is eimi, the ho devil diabolos), ¹⁵ and kai liberate apallassō those houtos who hosos through dia all pas their ho life zaō were eimi held enochos in slavery douleia by their fear phobos of death thanatos. ¹⁶ For gar surely dēpou he does epilambanomai not ou reach out to help epilambanomai angels angelos, but alla he reaches out to help epilambanomai the seed sperma of Abraham Abraam. ¹⁷ Therefore hothen he was obligated opheilō to become like homoioō his ho brothers adelphos in kata every pas respect , so that hina he could become ginomai a merciful eleēmōn and kai faithful pistos high priest archiereus · ho in the service pros of · ho God theos, to eis make propitiation hilaskomai for the ho sins hamartia of the ho people laos. ¹⁸ For gar because en hos he himself autos suffered paschō when tempted peirazō, he is able dynamai to come to the aid of boētheō those ho who are being tempted peirazō.

3 For this reason hothen, holy hagios brothers adelphos, you who share in metochos the heavenly epouranios calling klēsis, consider katanoeō that the ho apostle apostolos and kai high priest archiereus of whom ho our hēmeis confession homologia speaks, Jesus Iēsous, ² was eimi faithful pistos to the ho one who appointed poieō him autos in en all holos his autos house oikos, as hōs Moses Mōysēs also kai was. · ho ³ For gar Jesus houtos has been counted worthy axioō of greater polys glory doxa than para Moses Mōysēs, just kata as hosos the ho builder of a house kataskeuazō has echō greater polys honor timē than the ho house oikos itself autos. ⁴ For gar every pas house oikos is built kataskeuazō by hypo someone tis, but de the ho one who built kataskeuazō everything pas is God theos. ⁵ Now kai Moses Mōysēs was faithful pistos in en all holos · ho God’ s autos household oikos as hōs a servant therapōn, bearing eis witness martyrion to those things ho that would be spoken later laleō, ⁶ but de Christ Christos is faithful as hōs the Son hyios, presiding over epi · ho God’ s autos household oikos, and we hēmeis are eimi his hos household oikos if indeed eanper we hold firmly to katechō our ho confidence parrēsia and kai the ho hope elpis of which ho we boast kauchēma.

⁷ Therefore dio just as kathōs the ho Holy hagios Spirit pneuma says legō, · ho “ Today sēmeron, if ean you hear akouō · ho his autos voice phōnē, ⁸ do not mē harden sklērynō · ho your hymeis hearts kardia as hōs you did in en the ho rebellion parapikrasmos, on kata the ho day hēmera of ho testing peirasmos in en the ho wilderness erēmos ⁹ where hou your hymeis fathers patēr put peirazō · ho me to en the test dokimasia through their distrust, though kai they had seen · ho my egō works ergon ¹⁰ for forty tesserakonta years etos. Therefore dio I was angry prosochthizō with ho this houtos generation genea and kai said legō, ‘ They are always aei going astray planaō in their ho hearts kardia, and de they autos have not ou known ginōskō · ho my egō ways hodos.’ ¹¹ So hōs I swore omnyō in en · ho my egō anger orgē, ‘ They shall certainly not ei enter eiserchomai · ho my egō rest katapausis.’

¹² Be careful blepō, brothers adelphos, lest mēpote there be eimi in en any tis of you hymeis an evil ponēros, unbelieving apistia heart kardia that en turns away aphistēmi from apo the living zaō God theos. ¹³ But alla encourage parakaleō one another heautou every kata hekastos day hēmera, as long as achri it is called kaleō · ho “ today sēmeron,” that hina none mē of ek you hymeis may be hardened sklērynō by the deceitfulness apatē of ho sin hamartia. ¹⁴ For gar we have become ginomai partners metochos of ho Christ Christos, if in fact eanper we hold katechō the ho beginning archē of our ho confidence hypostasis firm bebaios to mechri the end telos. ¹⁵ As en it is said legō, “ Today sēmeron, if ean you hear akouō · ho his autos voice phōnē, do not mē harden sklērynō · ho your hymeis hearts kardia as hōs you did in en the ho rebellion parapikrasmos.”

¹⁶ For gar who tis were they who heard akouō and rebelled parapikrainō? Were they not ou really alla all pas those ho who came exerchomai out of ek Egypt Aigyptos led by dia Moses Mōysēs? ¹⁷ And de with whom tis was he angry prosochthizō for forty tesserakonta years etos? Was it not ouchi with those ho who sinned hamartanō, whose hos · ho bodies kōlon fell piptō in en the ho wilderness erēmos? ¹⁸ And de to whom tis did he swear omnyō that they would not mē enter eiserchomai · ho his autos rest katapausis, except ei mē those ho who had refused to obey apeitheō? ¹⁹ So then kai we see blepō that hoti they were unable ou to enter eiserchomai because of dia unbelief apistia.

4 Therefore oun while the promise epangelia of entering eiserchomai his autos rest katapausis is still open kataleipō, · ho let us fear phobeomai lest mēpote any tis one of ek you hymeis may seem dokeō to be excluded from hystereō it. ² For gar we also kai had eimi good news proclaimed euangelizō to us just as kathaper they kakeinos did; but alla the ho word logos they heard akoē did not ou benefit ōpheleō · ho those ekeinos who were not mē united synkerannymi with those ho who listened akouō in ho faith pistis ³ For gar we who ho have believed pisteuō do enter eiserchomai that ho rest katapausis, just as kathōs God has said legō, “ As hōs I swore omnyō in en · ho my egō anger orgē, ‘ They shall certainly not ei enter eiserchomai · ho my egō rest katapausis,’” and yet kaitoi his ho work ergon has been completed ginomai since apo the foundation katabolē of the world kosmos ⁴ For gar somewhere pou he has spoken legō of peri the ho seventh hebdomos day in this manner houtōs: “ And kai God theos rested katapauō · ho on en the ho seventh hebdomos day hēmera · ho from apo all pas · ho his autos works ergon.” ⁵ And kai furthermore palin in en this houtos context he said, “ They shall certainly not ei enter eiserchomai · ho my egō rest katapausis.”

⁶ Therefore oun since epei it remains apoleipō for some tis to enter eiserchomai it autos, and kai those ho who previously proteros had the good news proclaimed euangelizō to them failed ou to enter eiserchomai because dia of disobedience apeitheia, ⁷ God again palin ordains horizō a certain tis day hēmera—“ today sēmeron”— saying legō through en David Dauid, after meta so long tosoutos a time chronos, just as kathōs it has been said before, “ Today sēmeron, if ean you hear akouō · ho his autos voice phōnē, do not mē harden sklērynō · ho your hymeis hearts kardia.” ⁸ For gar if ei Joshua Iēsous had given them autos rest katapauō, God would an not ou have spoken laleō of peri another allos time hēmera after meta that houtos. ⁹ Consequently ara there remains apoleipō a Sabbath sabbatismos rest for the ho people laos of ho God theos. ¹⁰ For gar the ho one who enters eiserchomai · ho God’ s autos rest katapausis has also kai rested katapauō from apo · ho his autos works ergon, as hōsper God theos did from apo · ho his idios. · ho ¹¹ Let us , therefore oun, make every effort spoudazō to enter eiserchomai that ekeinos · ho rest katapausis; otherwise hina mē one tis of you might fall piptō by en the ho same autos sort hypodeigma of ho disobedience apeitheia.

¹² For gar the ho word logos of ho God theos is living zaō and kai effective energēs, · kai sharper tomos than hyper any pas two-edged distomos sword machaira, · kai cutting through diikneomai so as to achri divide merismos soul psychē from kai spirit pneuma, joints harmos from kai marrow myelos. It is even kai able to discern kritikos the thoughts enthumēsis and kai deliberations ennoia of the heart kardia. ¹³ And kai nothing ou in creation ktisis is eimi hidden aphanēs from God’ s autos sight enōpion, but de everything pas is uncovered gymnos and kai exposed trachēlizō to the ho eyes ophthalmos of the one autos to pros whom hos we hēmeis must give · ho account logos.

¹⁴ Therefore oun since we have echō a great megas high priest archiereus who has gone through dierchomai the ho heavens ouranos, Jesus Iēsous the ho Son hyios of ho God theos, let us continue to hold fast to krateō our ho confession homologia. ¹⁵ For gar we do not ou have echō a high priest archiereus who is unable mē to feel sympatheō · ho our hēmeis weaknesses astheneia, but de one who has been tempted peirazō in kata every way pas just as we are kata—yet without chōris sin hamartia. ¹⁶ Therefore oun let us approach proserchomai with meta confidence parrēsia the ho throne thronos of ho grace charis, so that hina we may receive lambanō mercy eleos and kai find heuriskō grace charis for eis help boētheia when we need eukairos it .

5 For gar every pas high priest archiereus, being chosen lambanō from among ek men anthrōpos, is appointed kathistēmi on behalf of hyper men anthrōpos to represent them in matters ho related to pros · ho God theos, to hina offer prospherō gifts dōron and kai sacrifices thusia for hyper sins hamartia. ² He is able dynamai to deal compassionately metriopatheō with the ho ignorant agnoeō and kai going astray planaō, since epei he autos too kai is subject to perikeimai weakness astheneia. ³ · kai That is why dia he is obligated opheilō to offer prospherō sacrifice for peri his own autos sins hamartia, just as kathōs he does for peri the sins of the ho people laos. · kai ⁴ And kai no ou one tis takes lambanō this ho honor timē on his own accord heautou, but alla receives it when called kaleō by hypo · ho God theos, just as kathōsper Aaron Aarōn also kai was.

⁵ So houtōs also kai · ho Christ Christos did doxazō not ou exalt doxazō himself heautou to become ginomai high priest archiereus, but alla was appointed by the ho one who said laleō to pros him autos, “ You sy are eimi my egō Son hyios, today sēmeron I egō have become your sy Father gennaō”; ⁶ as kathōs also kai in en another heteros place God says legō, “ You sy are a priest hiereus for eis all ho time aiōn according kata to the ho order taxis of Melchizedek Melchisedek.”

⁷ In en the ho days hēmera of ho his autos flesh sarx, Jesus hos offered up prospherō prayers deēsis and kai supplications hiketēria, with meta loud ischuros crying kraugē and kai tears dakryon, to pros the ho one who was able dynamai to save sōzō him autos from ek death thanatos, and kai he was heard eisakouō because of apo his ho godly fear eulabeia. ⁸ Although kaiper he was eimi a son hyios, he learned manthanō obedience hypakoē from apo what hos he suffered paschō. · ho ⁹ And kai once made perfect teleioō, he became ginomai for all pas those ho who obey hypakouō him autos the source aitios of eternal aiōnios salvation sōtēria, ¹⁰ having been designated prosagoreuō by hypo · ho God theos a high priest archiereus according to kata the ho order taxis of Melchizedek Melchisedek.

¹¹ On peri this hos subject we hēmeis have much polys · ho to say logos and kai it is hard dysermēneutos to explain legō, since epei you have become ginomai sluggish nōthros in ho understanding akoē. ¹² · kai For gar though by dia this ho time chronos you ought opheilō to be eimi teachers didaskalos, you have echō need chreia of someone tis to teach didaskō you hymeis again palin · ho the ho basic archē elements stoicheion · ho of ho God’ s theos revelation logion. · ho · kai You have become ginomai people having echō need chreia of milk gala, not ou solid stereos food trophē; ¹³ for gar everyone pas who ho lives on metechō milk gala is inexperienced apeiros with the teaching logos about righteousness dikaiosynē, since gar he is eimi still a child nēpios. ¹⁴ But de solid stereos food trophē is eimi for the mature teleios, · ho for those ho who by virtue of dia their ho maturity hexis have echō · ho senses aisthētērion that are trained gymnazō to pros distinguish diakrisis good kalos from kai evil kakos.

6 Therefore dio let us leave standing aphiēmi the ho · ho elementary archē teaching logos about ho Christ Christos and let us move on pherō to epi · ho maturity teleiotēs, not mē laying kataballō again palin a foundation themelios of repentance metanoia from apo dead nekros works ergon and kai of faith pistis in epi God theos, ² instruction didachē about cleansing rites baptismos and te laying on epithesis of hands cheir, the resurrection anastasis of the dead nekros, and kai eternal aiōnios judgment krima. ³ And kai we will do poieō this houtos, if eanper God theos permits epitrepō. · ho

⁴ For gar it is impossible adynatos when those ho who have once hapax been enlightened phōtizō and te have tasted geuomai the ho heavenly epouranios gift dōrea · ho and kai have become ginomai partakers metochos of the Holy hagios Spirit pneuma ⁵ and kai have tasted geuomai the goodness kalos of God’ s theos word rhēma and te the powers dynamis of the coming mellō age aiōn ⁶ and kai have committed apostasy parapiptō, to restore anakainizō them to eis repentance metanoia, since to their own heautou harm they are crucifying anastauroō the ho Son hyios of ho God theos again and kai exposing him to public shame paradeigmatizō. ⁷ For gar the field gē that ho soaks up pinō the ho frequent pollakis rain hyetos that falls erchomai on epi it autos and kai yields tiktō a crop botanē useful euthetos for those ekeinos for dia whom hos · kai it is cultivated geōrgeō, receives metalambanō a blessing eulogia from apo · ho God theos. ⁸ But de if it produces ekpherō thorns akantha and kai thistles tribolos, it is useless adokimos and kai about to be engys cursed katara; its hos · ho fate telos is to be eis burned kausis.

⁹ But de we are convinced peithō of better things kreittōn in peri your hymeis case, beloved agapētos · ho— · kai things that accompany echō salvation sōtēria— even kai though ei we speak laleō as houtōs we do. ¹⁰ For gar God theos is not ou so unjust adikos · ho as to forget epilanthanomai · ho your hymeis work ergon and kai the ho love agapē you have demonstrated endeiknymi for eis · ho his autos cause onoma, when you served diakoneō and kai continue to serve diakoneō · ho fellow believers hagios. ¹¹ But de we want epithumeō each one hekastos of you hymeis to demonstrate endeiknymi the ho same autos earnestness spoudē to achri the very end telos for pros the ho fulfillment plērophoria of your ho hope elpis, ¹² so that hina you will ginomai not mē be ginomai lazy nōthros, but de imitators mimētēs of those ho who by dia faith pistis and kai perseverance makrothumia inherit klēronomeō the ho promises epangelia.
