s full of tender pity and steeled only
against pity for Himself by reason of His dauntless fidelity to others.

Thus is the Son better than the angels.

the Apostle and High-priest of our confession, _even_ Jesus; who was
faithful to Him that appointed Him as also was Moses in all his

Wherefore I was displeased with this generation,
And said, They do always err in their heart:
But they did not know My ways;
As I sware in My wrath,
They shall not enter into My rest.

Take heed, brethren, lest haply there shall be in any one of you an
evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God: but
