And GOD, who at sundry times and in again, I will be to him a Father, and divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. 5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, he shall be to me a Son? 6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. 7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. 8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. 9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. 10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the Title: SVA To the Hebrews. 1,3 V* and manifesting all things; SVA when he had made a purification from sins 8 SVA and the sceptre of rectitude is the sceptre 9 SA and hated unrighteousness earth; and the heavens are the works art mindful of him? or the son of man, of thine hands: that thou visitest him?

CHAPTER II. 9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. THEREFORE we ought to give 10 For it became him, for whom the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. 2 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me. 14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 And deliver them who through 12 S as a vesture shalt thou change them, as a garment; VA add as a garment after up 2,7 V om. and didst set him over the works of thy hands 8 V om. under him after subjection 14 SVA of blood and flesh fear of death were all their liefetime saith, To day if ye will hear his subject to bondage. voice, 16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. 8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: 9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. 17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things 10 Wherefore I was grieved with pertaining to God, to make reconci- that generation, and said, They do liation for the sins of the people. 18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
