rs, [2:12]saying, I will declare
thy name to my brothers, in the midst of the assembly will I sing to
thee. [2:13]And again, I will trust in him. And again, Behold me and
the children which God gave me. [2:14]Since then the children have
partaken of blood and flesh, he in like manner also partook of them,
that through death he might destroy him that has the power of death,
that is the devil, [2:15]and liberate those who all their life were
subjects of servitude to the fear of death. [2:16]For indeed he helped
not angels, but he helped the descendants of Abraham. [2:17]Whence he
ought in all things to be assimilated to the brothers, that he may be a
merciful and faithful chief priest as to things relating to God, to
make propitiation for the sins of the people. [2:18]For because he has
himself suffered, having been tried, he is able to help the tried.

4 [3:1]Whence, holy brothers, partakers of the heavenly call, consider
the apostle and chief priest of our profession, Jesus, [3:2]who is
faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was in his house.
[3:3]For this man is judged worthy of more glory than Moses, as much as

of the hope.

voice, [3:8]harden not your hearts as in the provocation, in the day of
the trial in the wilderness, [3:9]where your fathers fully proved and
saw my works forty years. [3:10]Wherefore I was displeased with that
generation and said, They always err in mind, and they did not know my
ways, [3:11]so I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.
[3:12]See, brothers, that there be not at any time in any one of you an
evil mind of unbelief in departing from the living God; [3:13]but
exhort one another daily, while it is called to-day, that no one of you
may be hardened by the deception of sin; [3:14]for we have been made
partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of the confidence firm to
the end. [3:15]It was said, To-day if you will hear his voice, harden
not your hearts as in the provocation; [3:16]for who having heard
