1:3 3 Which when also he is the brightness of glory, and [the] figure of his substance, and beareth all things [and bearing all things] by word of his virtue, he maketh purgation of sins, and sitteth on the right half of the majesty in heavens [sitteth on the right half of majesty in high things] ; 3 Which son being the brightness of his glory, and very image of his substance, bearing up all things with the word of his power, hath in his own person purged our sins, and is sitten on the right hand of the majesty on high, 3 Who being the brightness of the glory, and the engraved form of his person, and bearing up all things by his mighty word, hath by himself purged our sins, and sitteth at the right hand of the majesty in the highest places, 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;
1:4 4 and so much is made better than angels, by how much he hath inherited a more diverse name [a more different, or excellent, name] before them. 4 and is more excellent than the angels, inasmuch as he hath by inheritance obtained an excellenter {more excellent} name then have they. 4 And is made so much more excellent than the Angels, in as much as he hath obtained a more excellent Name than they. 4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
1:5 5 For to which of the angels said God any time, Thou art my Son, I have engendered thee to day [I have to day gendered thee] ? And again, I shall be to him into a Father, and he shall be to me into a Son? 5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time: Thou art my son, this day begat I {I begotten} thee? And again: I will be his father, and he shall be my son. 5 For unto which of the Angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day begat I thee? and again, I will be his Father, and he shall be my Son? 5 For to which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
1:6 6 And when again he bringeth in the first begotten Son into the world [And when again he bringeth in the first begotten into the roundness of the earth] , he saith, And all the angels of God worship him. 6 And again when he bringeth in the first begotten son in [to] the world, he saith: And all the angels of God shall worship him. 6 And again, when he bringeth in his first begotten Son into the world, he saith, And let all the Angels of God worship him. 6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. [again...: or, when he bringeth again]
1:7 7 But he saith to angels [And soothly to angels he saith] , He that maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers flame of fire. 7 And unto [of] the angels he saith: He maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers flames of fire. 7 And of the Angels he saith, He maketh the spirits his messengers, and his ministers a flame of fire. 7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. [And of: Gr. And unto]
1:8 8 But to the Son he saith, God, thy throne is into the world of world [into the world of worlds] ; a rod of equity is the rod of thy realm; 8 But unto the son he saith: God thy seat shall be {thy seat endureth} for ever, and ever. The sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. 8 But unto the Son he saith, O God, thy throne is forever and ever: the scepter of thy kingdom is a scepter of righteousness. 8 But to the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

1:9 9 thou hast loved rightwiseness, and hatedest wickedness; therefore the God, thy God, anointed thee with oil of joy [therefore God, thy God, anointed thee with oil of gladness, or joy] , more than thy fellows. 9 Thou hast loved righteousness and hated iniquity: Wherefore hath God, which is thy God, [hath] anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. 9 Thou hast loved righteousness and hated iniquity.

1:10 10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning foundedest the earth, and heavens be works of thine hands; 10 And thou Lord in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth: And the heavens are the works of thy hands. 10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast established the earth, and the heavens are the works of thine hands. 10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thy hands:

But thou art the same thyself, and thy years shall not fail. 12 and as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, [but thou arte all wayes] and thy years shall not fail. 12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail. 12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
1:13 13 But to which of the angels said God at any time, Sit thou on my right half, till I put thine enemies a stool of thy feet? 13 Unto which of the angels said he at any time?

1:14 14 Whether they all be not serving spirits, sent to serve for them [sent into ministry for them] that take the heritage of health? 14 Are they not all spirits to do service, {ministering spirits} sent for to minister for their sakes, which shall be heirs of health? [salvation?] 14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister, for their sakes which shall be heirs of salvation? 14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall inherit salvation?
2:1 1 Therefore more plenteously it behooveth us to keep those things [Therefore it behooveth us to keep more plenteously those things] , that we have heard, lest peradventure we float away. 1 Wherefore we ought much more to attend unto those [to give the more heed to the] things which we have heard, lest we perish. 1 Wherefore we ought diligently to give heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we run out. [we should let them slip.] 1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. [let...: Gr. run out as leaking vessels]
2:2 2 For if that word that was said by angels, was made firm, and each breaking of the law and unobedience [and each trespassing, or breaking of the law, and unobedience] took just retribution of meed, 2 For if the word which was spoken by angels was steadfast: and [so that] every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense to reward: 2 For if the word spoken by Angels was steadfast, and every transgression, and disobedience received a just recompense of reward, 2 For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;
2:3 3 how shall we escape, if we despise so great an health? Which, when it had taken beginning to be told out by the Lord, of them that heard is confirmed into us. 3 how shall we escape if we despise so great health? [salvation] which at the first began to be preached of {by} the Lord himself, and after ward was confirmed unto us ward, {upon us} by them that heard it; 3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation, which at the first began to be preached by the Lord, and afterward was confirmed unto us by them that heard him, 3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by them that heard him;
2:4 4 For God witnessed together by miracles, and wonders, and great marvels, and diverse works of power, and partings of the Holy Ghost, by his will. [God together witnessing by signs, and wonders, and great marvels, and diverse virtues, and distributions of the Holy Ghost, after his will.] 4 God bearing witness thereto, both with signs {tokens} and wonders also, and with divers miracles, {powers} and gifts of the holy ghost, according to his own will. 4 God bearing witness thereto, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the holy Ghost, according to his own will? 4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will?

2:5 5 But not to angels God subjected the world that is to coming [Forsooth not to angels God subjected the roundness of the earth to come] , of which we speak. 5 He hath not unto the angels put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak: 5 For he hath not put in subjection unto the Angels the world to come, whereof we speak. 5 For to the angels he hath not put in subjection the world to come, concerning which we speak.
2:6 6 But some man witnessed in a place, and said [Soothly some man witnessed in some place, saying] , What thing is man, that thou art mindful of him, or man's son, for thou visitest him? 6 but one in a certain place witnessed, saying: What is man, that thou art mindful of him: other the son of man, that thou visitest him? [What is man, that thou art mindful of him?] 6 But one in a certain place witnessed, saying, What is man, that thou shouldest be mindful of him? [!] or the son of man, that thou wouldest consider him? [!] 6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?
2:7 7 Thou hast made him a little less than angels [Thou madest him a little less from angels] ; thou hast crowned him with glory and honour; and thou hast ordained him on [upon] the works of thine hands. 7 After thou hadst for a season made him lower than the angels: thou crownedst him with honour and glory, and hast set him above the works of thy hands. 7 Thou madest him a little inferior to the Angels: thou crownedst him with glory and honor, and hast set him above the works of thine hands. 7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou didst crown him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: [lower...: or, while inferior to]
2:8 8 Thou hast made all things subject under his feet. And in that that he subjected all things to him, he left nothing unsubject to him [he left nothing unsubjected to him] . But now we see not yet all things subject to him; 8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. In that he put all things under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. 8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. And in that he hath put all things in subjection under him, he left nothing that should not be subject unto him. But we yet see not all things subdued unto him, 8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not made subject to him. But now we see not yet all things made subject to him.
2:9 9 but we see him that was made a little less than angels, Jesus, for the passion of death crowned with glory and honour, that he through [the] grace of God should taste death for all men. 9 Nevertheless we yet see not all things subdued unto him: but that Jesus which for a season was made less than the angels, we see thorow the punishment of death crowned with glory and honour: [but him that was made less than the angels: we see that it was Iesus, which is crowned with glory and honour for the suffering of death:] that he by the grace of God, should taste of death for all men. 9 But we see Jesus crowned with glory and honor, which was made a little inferior to the Angels, through the suffering of death, that by God's grace he might taste death for all men. 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. [for the: or, by the]
2:10 10 For it beseemed him, for whom all things, and by whom all things were made, which had brought many sons into glory, and was author of the health of them, that he had an end by passion. [+Forsooth it became him, for whom all things, and by all things, the which had led together many sons into glory, the maker of the health of them, to end, either make perfect, by passions.] 10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, after that he had brought many sons {children} unto glory, that he should make the Lord of their health [salvation] perfect thorow afflictions: [sufering.] 10 For it became him, for whom are all these things, and by whom are all these things, seeing that he brought many children unto glory, that he should consecrate the Prince of their salvation through afflictions. 10 For it was befitting for him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
2:11 11 For he that halloweth, and they that be hallowed, be all of one; for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, 11 Forasmuch as he which [that] sanctifieth, and they which are sanctified, are all of one. For which cause's sake he is not ashamed to call them brethren 11 For he that sanctifieth, and they which are sanctified, are all of one: wherefore he is not ashamed to call them brethren, 11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
2:12 12 saying, I shall tell thy name to my brethren; in the middle of the church I shall praise thee. 12 saying: I will declare thy name unto my brethren, and in the midst {middes} of the congregation will I praise thee. 12 Saying, I will declare thy Name unto my brethren: in the midst of the Church will I sing praises to thee. 12 Saying, I will declare thy name to my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise to thee.
2:13 13 And again, I shall be trusting into him; and again, Lo! I and my children, which God gave to me. 13 And again: I will put my trust in him.

And again, Behold, here am I, and the children which God hath given me. 13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.
2:14 14 Therefore for children communed to flesh and blood, and he also took part of the same, that by death he should destroy him that had lordship of death, that is to say, the devil, 14 Forasmuch then as the children were partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself like wise took part with them, for to put down thorow death him that {that he thorow death, might take away the power of him, which} had lordship over death that is to say the devil. 14 Forasmuch then as the children are [were] partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part with them, that he might destroy through death, him that had the power of death, that is the devil, 14 Since then 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;
2:15 15 and that he should deliver them that by dread of death [and should deliver them that by dread of death] , by all life were bound to servage. 15 And that he might deliver them which thorow fear of death all their life time were in danger of bondage. 15 And that he might deliver all them, which for fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
2:16 16 And he took [to] never angels, but he took [to] the seed of Abraham. 16 For he in no place taketh on him the angels: but the seed of Abraham taketh he on him. 16 For he in no sort took on him the Angel's nature, but he took on him the seed of Abraham. 16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. [took not...: Gr. taketh not hold of angels, but of the seed of Abraham he taketh hold]
2:17 17 Wherefore he ought to be likened to brethren by all things, that he should be made merciful and a faithful bishop to God, that he should be merciful to the trespasses of the people. 17 Wherefore in all things it became him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be merciful, and a faithful high priest in things concerning God, for to purge the people's sins. {to make agreement for the sins of the people} 17 Wherefore in all things it behooved [became] him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be merciful, and a faithful high Priest in things concerning God, that he might make reconciliation for the sins of the people. 17 Therefore in all things it behoved him to be made like his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
2:18 18 For in that thing in which he suffered, and was tempted, he is mighty to help also them that be tempted. 18 For in that he himself suffered, and was tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. 18 For in that he suffered, and was tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. 18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to help them that are tempted.

3:3 3 But this bishop [Forsooth this bishop] is had worthy of more glory than Moses, by as much as he hath more honour of the house, that made the house. 3 And [yet was] this man was counted worthy of more glory {greater honour} than Moses: Inasmuch as he which hath prepared the house, hath most honour in the house. {then the house it self} 3 For this man is counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he which hath builded the house, hath more honor than the house. 3 For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath built the house hath more honour than the house.
3:4 4 For each house is made of some man; [forsooth] he that made all things of nought is God. 4 Every house is prepared of some man. But he that ordained all things is God. 4 For every house is builded of some man, and he that hath built all things, is God. 4 For every house is built by some man; but he that built all things is God.
3:5 5 And [soothly] Moses was true in all his house, as a servant, into witnessing of those things that were to be said; 5 And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a minister, to bear witness of those things which should be spoken afterward. 5 Now Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a witness of the things which should be spoken after. 5 And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later;
3:6 6 but Christ as a son in his house. Which house we be, if we hold firm trust and glory of hope into [unto] the end. 6 But Christ as a son hath rule over the house, whose house we are, if we keep stedfast [so that we hold fast the] confidence and rejoicing in the faith unto the end. [and the rejoycing of that hope, unto the end.] 6 But Christ is as the Son, over his own house, whose house we are, if we hold fast that [the] confidence and that [the] rejoicing of that [the] hope unto the end. 6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.
3:7 7 Wherefore as the Holy Ghost saith, To day, if ye have heard his voice, 7 Wherefore as the holy ghost saith: today if ye shall hear his voice, 7 Wherefore, as the holy Ghost saith, Today if ye shall hear his voice, 7 Therefore (as the Holy Spirit saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,
3:8 8 do not ye harden your hearts, as in wrathing, like the day of temptation in desert [after the day of temptation in desert] ; 8 harden not your hearts, as when ye provoked in time [after the rebellion in the day] of temptation in the wilderness, 8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, according to the day of the temptation in the wilderness, 8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
3:9 9 where your fathers tempted me, and proved, and saw my works forty years. [where your fathers tempted me, proved, and saw my works.] 9 where your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty year long. 9 Where your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years long. 9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
3:10 10 Wherefore I was wroth [Wherefore I was offended, or wroth,] to this generation, and I said, Evermore they err in heart, for they knew not my ways; 10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation and said: They ever err in their hearts: they verily have not known my ways, 10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They err ever in their heart, neither have they known my ways. 10 Therefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do always err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
3:11 11 to which I swore in my wrath, they shall not enter into my rest. [to whom I swore in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest.] 11 so that I sware in my wrath, that they should not enter into my rest. 11 Therefore I sware in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest. 11 So I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) [They...: Gr. If they shall enter]
3:12 12 Brethren, see ye, lest peradventure in any of you be an evil heart of unbelief, to depart from the living God. 12 Take heed brethren that there be in none of you an evil heart, in unbelief, that he should depart from the living God: 12 Take heed, brethren, lest at any time there be in any of you an evil heart, and unfaithful, to depart away from the living God. 12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
3:13 13 But admonish yourselves by all days, the while to day is named, that none of you be hardened by fallacy of sin [that none of you be hardened by falseness of sin] . 13 but exhort one another daily, while it is called today, lest any of you wax hard hearted, and be deceived with sin.

3:14 14 For we be made partners of Christ, if nevertheless we hold the beginning of his substance firm into the end. 14 We are partakers of Christ, so that [if] we keep sure unto the end the beginning of the substance, [the first substance,] 14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we keep sure unto the end that [the] beginning, wherewith we are upholden, 14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end;
3:15 15 While it is said, to day, if ye have heard the voice of him, do not ye harden your hearts, as in that wrathing. 15 so long as it is said: today if ye hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as when ye provoked.

3:16 16 For some men hearing wrathed [Soothly some hearing wrathed] , but not all they that went out of Egypt by Moses. 16 For some, when they heard, provoked: [rebelled] but [howbeit] not all that came out of Egypt under Moses. 16 For some when they heard, provoked him to anger: howbeit, not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. 16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: yet not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
3:17 17 But to whom was he wrathed forty years? Whether not to them that sinned, whose carrions were cast down in desert [into desert] ? 17 But with whom was he displeased forty years? was he not displeased with them that sinned: whose bodies [carcasses] were overthrown in the desert? {wilderness} 17 But with whom was he displeased forty years? Was he not displeased with them that sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness? 17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?
3:18 18 And to whom swore he, that they should not enter into the rest of him [+To whom he swore soothly, to not enter into his rest] , no but to them that were unbelieveful? 18 To whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest: but unto them that believed not? 18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but unto them that obeyed not? 18 And to whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
3:19 19 And we see, that they might not enter into the rest of him for unbelief. 19 And we see that they could not enter in, because of unbelief. 19 So we see that they could not enter in, because of unbelief. 19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
4:1 1 Therefore dread we, least peradventure while the promise of entering into his rest is left, that any of us be guessed to be away [be guessed, or deemed, for to fail] . 1 Let us fear therefore lest any of us forsaking the promise of entering into his rest, should seem to come behind. 1 Let us fear therefore, lest at any time by forsaking the promise of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to be deprived. 1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
4:2 2 For it is told also to us, as to them [Forsooth it is told to us, as and to them] . And the word that was heard profited not to them, not mingled to faith of those things that they heard. 2 For unto us was it declared, as well as unto them. But it profited not {preaching helped not} them that they heard the word, because they which heard it coupled it not with faith. {believed it not} 2 For unto us was the Gospel preached as also unto them: but the word that they heard, profited not them, because it was not mixed with faith in those that heard it. 2 For to us was the gospel preached, as well as to them: but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. [the word...: Gr. the word of hearing] [not being...: or, because they were not united by faith to]
4:3 3 For we that have believed, shall enter into rest, as he said, As I swore in my wrath, they shall not enter into my rest. And when the works were made perfect at the ordinance of the world, [+Forsooth we that have believed shall enter into rest, as he said, As I swore in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest. And soothly the works were made perfect from the ordinance of the world,] 3 [But] We which have believed, do enter into his rest, as contrary wise [contrariwise] he said to the other: as I have sworn in my wrath, they shall not enter into my rest. And that spake he verily long after that the works were made, from [and] the foundation of the world laid. {works from the beginning of the world were made} 3 For we which have believed, do enter into rest, as he said to the other, As I have sworn in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 3 For we who have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4:4 4 he said thus in a place of the seventh day [he said thus in some place of the seventh day] , And God rested in the seventh day from all his works. 4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day, on this wise: And God did rest {rested on} the seventh day from all his works. 4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. 4 For he spoke in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God rested the seventh day from all his works.
4:5 5 And in this place again, They shall not enter into my rest. [+And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.] 5 And in this place again: They shall not come into my rest. 5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. 5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
4:6 6 Therefore for it followeth, that some men shall enter into it, and they to which it was told to before [and they first to whom it is told] , entered not for their unbelief. 6 Seeing therefore it followeth that some must enter thereinto, and they to whom it was first preached, entered not therein for unbelief's sake. 6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter thereinto, and they to whom it was first preached, entered not therein for unbelief's sake: 6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter into it, and they to whom it was first preached entered not because of unbelief: [it was: or, the gospel was]
4:7 7 Again, he determineth some day, and saith in David, To day, after so much time of time [Again, he termineth some day, saying in David, To day, after so much of time] , as it is before-said, To day if ye have heard his voice, do not ye harden your hearts. 7 Again he appointeth in David a certain present day after so long a time, saying as it is rehearsed: this day if ye hear his voice, be not hard hearted. 7 Again he appointed in David a certain day, by Today, after so long a time, saying, as it is said, This day, if ye hear his voice, harden not your hearts. 7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
4:8 8 For if Jesus had given rest to them, he should never speak of other after this day [after that day] . 8 For if Josue [Iosue] had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. 8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not after this have spoke of another day. [then would he not after this day have spoken of another.] 8 For if Joshua had given them rest, then he would not afterward have spoken of another day. [Jesus: that is, Ioshua]
4:9 9 Therefore the sabbath is left to the people of God. [Therefore rest is left to the people of God.] 9 There remaineth therefore yet a rest to the people of God. 9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. [rest: or, keeping of a sabbath]
4:10 10 For he that is entered into his rest, [and he] rested of his works, as also God of his. 10 For he that is entered into his rest doth cease from his own works, as God did from his. 10 For he that is entered into his rest, hath also ceased from his own works, as God did from his. 10 For he that hath entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
4:11 11 Therefore haste we to enter into that rest, that no man fall into the same ensample of unbelief [that no man fall into the same example of unbelief] . 11 Let us study {make haist} therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall [faule] into such an [after the same] ensample of [,into] unbelief: 11 Let us study therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same ensample of disobedience. 11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. [unbelief: or, disobedience]
4:12 12 For the word of God is quick, and speedy in working, and more able to pierce than any twain-edged sword [two-edged sword] , and stretcheth forth [till] to the parting of the soul and of the spirit, and of the jointures and marrows, and deemer of thoughts, and of intents of hearts [+and entering, or stretching, unto parting of soul and spirit, and of jointures and marrows, and it is the deemer of thoughts and intents of hearts] . 12 for the word of God is quick, and mighty in operation, and sharper than any two edged sword: and entereth through, even unto the dividing a sunder of the soul and the spirit and of the joints, and the mary: and judgeth the thoughts and the intents of the heart. 12 For the word of God is lively, and mighty in operation, and sharper than any two edged sword, and entereth through, even unto the dividing asunder of the soul and the spirit, and of the joints, and the marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts, and the intents of the heart. 12 For the word of God is living, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
4:13 13 And no creature is invisible in the sight of God. For all things be naked and open to his eyes, to whom a word to us. 13 Neither is there any creature invisible in the sight of it: but [.For] all things are naked and bare unto the eyes of him, of whom we speak. 13 Neither is there any creature, which is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and open unto his eyes, with whom we have to do. 13 Neither is there any creature that is hidden in his sight: but all things are naked and opened to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
4:14 14 Therefore we that have a great bishop, that pierced heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, hold we the acknowledging of our hope [hold we the confession, or acknowledging, of our faith] . 14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest which is entered into heaven (I mean Jesus the son of God) let us keep [hold] our profession. (of our hope) 14 Seeing then that we have a great high Priest, which is entered into heaven, even Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that hath passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
4:15 15 For we have not a bishop, that may not have compassion on our infirmities, but was tempted by all things by likeness, without sin. 15 For we have not an high priest, which cannot have compassion on our infirmities: but was in all points tempted, in like manner: [as we are:] but yet without sin. 15 For we have not an high Priest, which can not be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but was in all things tempted in like sort, yet without sin. 15 For we have not an high priest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but who was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.
4:16 16 Therefore go we with trust to the throne of his grace, that we get mercy, and find grace in opportune help [in covenable help] . 16 Let us therefore go boldly unto the seat of grace, that we may receive mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. 16 Let us therefore go boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. 16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
5:1 1 For each bishop taken of men, is ordained for men in these things that be to God [in those things that be to God] , that he offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. 1 For every high priest that is taken from among men, is ordained for men, in things pertaining to God: to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins: 1 For every high Priest is taken from among men, and is ordained for men, in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins, 1 For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
5:2 2 Which may together sorrow with them, that be unknowing and err [that know not and err] ; for also he is environed with infirmity. 2 which can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the high way, because that he himself also is compassed with infirmity: 2 Which is able sufficiently to have compassion on them that are ignorant, and that are out of the way, because that he also is compassed with infirmity, 2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is beset with infirmity. [can...: or, can reasonably bear with]
5:3 3 And therefore he oweth, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins. 3 For the which infirmities sake, he is bound [(bond)] to offer for sins, as well for his own part, as for the peoples. 3 And for the same's sake he is bound [bond] to offer for sins, as well for his own part, as for the people's. 3 And by reason of it he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
5:4 4 Neither any man taketh to him honour, but he that is called of God, as Aaron was. 4 [And] No man taketh honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron. 4 And no man taketh this honor unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron. 4 And no man taketh this honour to himself, but he that is called by God, as was Aaron.
5:5 5 So [and] Christ clarified not himself, that he were bishop, but he that spake to him, Thou art my Son, to day I engendered thee [to day I gendered thee] . 5 Even so likewise Christ honored not himself, that he might be the high priest: but he glorified him that said unto him: [Christ glorified not him self, to be made the hye prest: but he that said unto him] thou art my son, this day begat I thee. {have I begotten thee} 5 So likewise Christ took not to himself this honor, to be made the high Priest, but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, this day begat I thee, gave it him. 5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said to him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.
5:6 6 As [and] in another place he saith, Thou art a priest without end [Thou art a priest into without end] , after the order of Melchisedec. 6 As he also in another place speaketh: {sayeth} Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedech. 6 As he also in another place speaketh, Thou art a Priest forever, after the order of Melchisedec. 6 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
5:7 7 Which in the days of his flesh offered, with great cry and tears, prayers and beseechings to him that might make him safe from death, and was heard for his reverence. 7 Which in the days of his flesh, did offer up prayers and supplications, with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death: and was also heard, be cause he had God in reverence. {honour} [because of his godliness.] 7 Who [Which] in the days of his flesh did offer up prayers and supplications, with strong crying and tears unto him, that was able to save him from death, and was also heard in that which he feared. 7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears to him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; [in that...: or, for his piety]
5:8 8 And when he was God's Son, he learned obedience of these things that he suffered; 8 And though he were God's son, [sonne of God] yet learned he obedience, by those things which he suffered, 8 And though he were the Son, yet learned he obedience, by the things which he suffered. 8 Though he was a Son, yet he learned obedience by the things which he suffered;
5:9 9 and he brought to the end is made cause of everlasting health [and he led to perfection is made cause of everlasting health] to all that obey him, 9 and was made perfect, and the cause of eternal {everlasting} health [salvation] unto all them that obey him: 9 And being consecrate, was made the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him: 9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation to all them that obey him;
5:10 10 and is called of God a bishop, by the order of Melchisedec. [called of God a bishop, by the order of Melchisedec.] 10 and is called of God the [an] high priest, [hye priest] after the order of Melchisedech. 10 And is called of God an high Priest after the order of Melchisedec. 10 Called by God an high priest after the order of Melchizedek.
5:11 11 Of whom there is to us a great word for to say, and able to be expounded, for ye be made feeble to hear. 11 Whereof we have many things to say which are hard to be uttered: because ye are dull of hearing. 11 Of whom we have many things to say, which are hard to be uttered, because ye are dull of hearing. 11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.
5:12 12 For when ye ought to be masters for a time, again ye need that ye be taught, which be the letters of the beginning of God's words [which be the elements, or letters, of the beginning of God’s words] . And ye be made those, to whom is need of milk, and not [of] firm meat. 12 For when as concerning the time, ye ought to be teachers, yet have ye need again that we teach you the first principles {precepts} of the word of God: and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat: 12 For when as concerning the time ye ought to be teachers, yet have ye need again that we teach you what are the first principles of the word of God: and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. 12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need of one to teach you again which are the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
5:13 13 For each that is partner of milk, is without part of the word of rightwiseness, for he is a little child. 13 For every man that is fed with milk is inexpert in the word of righteousness: For he is but a babe. 13 For every one that useth milk, is inexpert in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 13 For every one that useth milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. [is unskillful: Gr. hath no experience]
5:14 14 But of perfect men is firm meat, of them that for custom have [their] wits exercised to discretion of good and of evil [of good and evil] . 14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are perfect, which thorow custom have their wits exercised, to judge both good and evil also. 14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of age, which through long custom have their wits exercised, to discern both good and evil. 14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. [of full age: or, perfect] [use: or, an habit, or, perfection]
6:1 1 Therefore we bringing in a word of the beginning of Christ, be we born to the perfection of him, not again laying the foundament of penance from dead works, and of the faith to God, [+Therefore we leaving a while the word of the beginning of Christ, be born to the perfection, not again laying the foundament of penance from dead works, and of faith to God,] 1 Wherefore let us leave the doctrine pertaining to the beginning of a Christian man, and let us go unto perfection, and now no more lay the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 1 Therefore, leaving the doctrine of the beginning of Christ, let us be led forward unto perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on to perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, [principles...: or, word of the beginning of]
6:2 2 and of teaching of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of rising again of dead men, and of everlasting doom. 2 of baptism, of doctrine, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection from death, {resurrection of the dead} and of eternal judgement. 2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and laying on of hands, and of the resurrection from the dead, and of eternal judgement. 2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
6:3 3 And this thing we shall do, if God shall suffer. 3 And so will we do, if God permit. 3 And this will we do if God permit. 3 And this will we do, if God permit.
6:4 4 But it is impossible, that they that be once lightened [them that once be illumined] , and have tasted also an heavenly gift, and be made partners of the Holy Ghost, 4 For it is not possible that they, which were once lighted, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were become partakers of the holy ghost, 4 For it is impossible that they which were once lightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the holy Ghost, 4 For it is impossible for those who have been once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit,
6:5 5 and nevertheless have tasted the good word of God, and the virtues of the world to coming [and virtues of the world to come] , 5 and have tasted of the good word of God, and of the power of the world to come: 5 And have tasted of the good word of God, and of the powers of the world to come, 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
6:6 6 and be slid far away, that they be renewed again to penance. Which again crucify to themselves the Son of God, and have him to scorn. 6 if they fall, [faule away] should be renewed again unto repentance: Forasmuch as they have (as concerning them selves) crucified the son of God afresh, making a mock of him. 6 If they fall away, should be renewed again by [unto] repentance: seeing they crucify again to themselves the Son of God, and make a mock of him. 6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again to repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
6:7 7 For the earth that drinketh rain oft coming on it, and bringeth forth suitable herb to them of which it is tilled [Forsooth the earth drinking rain oft coming upon it, and bringing forth covenable herb to them of whom it is tilled] , taketh blessing of God. 7 For that earth which drinketh in the rain which cometh often upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them that dress it, receiveth blessing of God: 7 For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing of God. 7 For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh often upon it, and bringeth forth herbs useful for them by whom it is tilled, receiveth blessing from God: [by: or, for]
6:8 8 But that that is bringing forth thorns and briers, is reprovable, and next to curse, whose ending shall be into burning. 8 but that ground, which beareth thorns and briars, is reproved, {and thistles, is nothing worth.} and is nye unto cursing: whose end is to be burned. 8 But that which beareth thorns and briars, is reproved, and is near unto cursing, whose end is to be burned. 8 But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is close to being cursed; whose end is to be burned.
6:9 9 But, ye most dear-worthy, we trust of you better things, and near(er) to health, though we speak so. 9 Nevertheless dear friends, {ye dearly beloved} we trust to see better of you, and things which accompany health, [salvation] {and that salvation is nyer} though we thus speak. 9 But beloved, we have persuaded ourselves better things of you, and such as accompany salvation, though we thus speak. 9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.
6:10 10 For God is not unjust, that he forget your work and love, which ye have showed in his name; for ye have ministered to saints, and minister. 10 For God is not unrighteous that he should forget your work, and labour that proceedeth of love, which love shewed in his name, which have ministered unto the saints, and yet minister. 10 For God is not unrighteous, that he should forget your work, and labor of love, which ye shewed toward his Name, in that ye have ministered unto the Saints, and yet minister. 10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shown toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
6:11 11 And we covet that each of you show the same busyness to the filling of hope [to the full-filling of hope] into the end; 11 Yea, and we desire that every one of you shew the same diligence, to the increase of the faith, [to the establishing of hope] even unto the end: 11 And we desire that every one of you shew the same diligence, to the full assurance of hope unto the end, 11 And we desire each one of you to show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope to the end:
6:12 12 that ye be not made slow, but also followers of them, which by faith and patience shall inherit the promises. 12 that ye faint not, but counterfeit [follow] them, which thorow faith and patience inherit the promises. 12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them, which through faith and patience, inherit the promises. 12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
6:13 13 For God promising to Abraham, for he had none greater, by whom he should swear, swore by himself, 13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he had no greater thing to swear by, he sware by himself, 13 For when God made the promise to Abraham, because he had no greater to swear by, he sware by himself, 13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he swore by himself,

6:15 15 and so he long abiding had the promise. [and so he long suffering got repromission.] 15 And so after that he had tarried a long time, he enjoyed {so he abode patiently, and obtained} the promises. 15 And so after that he had tarried patiently, he enjoyed the promise. 15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
6:16 16 For men swear by a greater than themselves, and the end of all their plea [and the end of all their controversy, or debate,] is an oath to confirmation. 16 Men verily swear by him that is greater than themselves; And an oath to confirm the thing, is among them an end of all strife. 16 For men verily swear by him that is greater than themselves, and an oath for confirmation is among them an end of all strife. 16 For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of every dispute.
6:17 17 In which thing God willing to show plenteouslier to the heirs of his promise the firmness of his counsel, put betwixt an oath, [+In which thing God willing to show plenteouslier to the heirs of his promise the unmoveableness, or firmness, of his counsel, put between an oath,] 17 So God willing very abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise, the stableness of his counsel, [counsayle] he added an oath, 17 So God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the stableness of his counsel, bound himself by an oath, 17 In the same way God, willing more abundantly to show to the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: [confirmed...: Gr. interposed himself by]
6:18 18 that by two things unmoveable, by which it is impossible that God lie, we have a strongest solace, that flee together to hold the hope that is put forth to us. [+that by two things unmoveable, by which it is impossible God for to lie, we have strongest solace, or comfort, which flee together to hold the hope put forth.] 18 that by two immutable things (in which it was unpossible that God should lie) we might have perfect {a strong} consolation, which have {even we which are} fled, for to hold fast the hope that is set before our faces, [before us] 18 That by two immutable things, wherein it is unpossible that God should lie, we might have strong consolation, which have our refuge to lay hold upon that [to hold fast the] hope that is set before us, 18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
6:19 19 Which hope as an anchor we have secure to the soul, and firm, and going into the inner things of hiding; 19 which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast.

6:20 20 where the before-goer, Jesus, that is made bishop without end by the order of Melchisedec, entered for us. [where the fore-goer for us entered in, Jesus, made bishop into without end after the order of Melchisedec.] 20 whither the forerunner is for us entered in, I mean Jesus that is made an high priest for ever, after the order of Melchisedech. 20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered in, even Jesus that is made an high Priest forever after the order of Melchisedec. 20 Where the forerunner hath for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
