4:11. Let us hasten therefore to enter into that rest: lest any man fall
into the same example of unbelief.

4:12. For the word of God is living and effectual and more piercing than
any two edged sword; and reaching unto the division of the soul and the
spirit, of the joints also and the marrow: and is a discerner of the
thoughts and intents of the heart.

4:13. Neither is there any creature invisible in his sight: but all
things are naked and open to his eyes, to whom our speech is.

4:14. Having therefore a great high priest that hath passed into the
heavens, Jesus the Son of God: let us hold fast our confession.

4:15. For we have not a high priest who cannot have compassion on our
infirmities: but one tempted in all things like as we are, without sin.

4:16. Let us go therefore with confidence to the throne of grace: that
we may obtain mercy and find grace in seasonable aid.

Hebrews Chapter 5

The office of a high priest. Christ is our high priest.

5:1. For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in
the things that appertain to God, that he may offer up gifts and
sacrifices for sins:

5:2. Who can have compassion on them that are ignorant and that err:
because he himself also is compassed with infirmity.

5:3. And therefore he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to
offer for sins.

5:4. Neither doth any man take the honour to himself, but he that is
called by God, as Aaron was.

5:5. So Christ also did not glorify himself, that he might be made a
high priest: but he that said unto him: Thou art my Son: this day have I
begotten thee.

5:6. As he saith also in another place: Thou art a priest for ever,
according to the order of Melchisedech.

5:7. Who in the days of his flesh, with a strong cry and tears, offering
up prayers and supplications to him that was able to save him from
death, was heard for his reverence.

5:8. And whereas indeed he was the Son of God, he learned obedience by
the things which he suffered.

5:9. And being consummated, he became, to all that obey him, the cause
of eternal salvation:

5:10. Called by God a high priest, according to the order of
Melchisedech.

5:11. Of whom we have much to say and hard to be intelligibly uttered:
because you are become weak to hear.

5:12. For whereas for the time you ought to be masters, you have need to
be taught again what are the first elements of the words of God: and you
are become such as have need of milk and not of strong meat.

5:13. For every one that is a partaker of milk is unskilful in the word
of justice: for he is a little child.

5:14. But strong meat is for the perfect: for them who by custom have
their senses exercised to the discerning of good and evil.

Hebrews Chapter 6

He warns them of the danger of falling by apostasy and exhorts them to
patience and perseverance.

6:1. Wherefore, leaving the word of the beginning of Christ, let us go
on to things more perfect: not laying again the foundation of penance
from dead works and of faith towards God,

The word of the beginning... The first rudiments of the Christian
doctrine.
