| [1]Therefore we are obligated to be more exceedingly heedful in what we have heard, that we fall not. |
[No book] |
| [2]For if the word which was uttered by angels was confirmed, and every one who heard it, and transgressed against it, received a just retribution,ⓘ |
[No book] |
| [3]How shall we escape if we despise those [words] which themselves are our salvation? those [namely] which began by our Lord to be spoken, and by them who from him heard them in us were confirmed, |
[No book] |
| [4]When Aloha witnessed concerning them by signs, and by miracles, and by various powers, and by distributed giftsⓘ of the Spirit of Holiness, that were bestowed according to his will. |
[No book] |
| [5]FOR it was not to the angels he subjected the world which is future,ⓘ of which we discourse. |
[No book] |
| [6]But, as the scripture testifieth and saith, What is man, that thou rememberedst him, and the Son of man, that thou didst visit him? |
[No book] |
| [7]Thou didst humble him [to be] less than the angels; glory and honour hast thou placed upon his head, and hast empowered him over the work of thy hands, and every thing hast thou put in subjection under his feet. |
[No book] |
| [8][Now] in this, that he subjected every thing to him, he hath left nothing which he hath not subjected. Yet hitherto we see not that every thing is subjected to him. |
[No book] |
| [9]But him who was humbled to be less than the angels, we see to be JESHU himself, for the sake of the passion of his death; and glory and honour set upon his head; for He Aloha,ⓘ in his grace, for every man hath tasted death! |
[No book] |
| [10]For it was proper to him by whose hand are all, and on account of whom all are, [and who] would lead many sons to his glory, that the Princeⓘ of their salvation by sufferings should be perfected. |
[No book] |
| [11]For he who sanctified, and they who are sanctified, are all from one: wherefore he has not been ashamed to call them his brethren. |

| [12][As] when he saith, I will announce thy name unto my brethren, and in the midst of the church I will praise thee. |
[No book] |
| [13]And again, I will put my confidence in him. And again, Behold me, and the sons whom thou hast given me, Aloha. |
[No book] |
| [14]FORASMUCH as the sons have been made to participate in flesh and blood, he also likewise was made a partaker of these very things; that by his death he might abolish him who held the power of death, who is Satana, |
[No book] |
| [15]And set loose them who in the fear of death had been all their lives subjected to servitude. |
[No book] |
| [16]For not from the angels he took,ⓘ but from the seed of Abraham he took. |
[No book] |
| [17]Therefore it was right that in every thing he should be rendered like unto his brethren, that he might be compassionate, and a High Priest faithful in [things pertaining] to Aloha, and become an expiation for the sins of the people. |
[No book] |
| [18]For in this, that he hath suffered and been tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted. |
