For he hath been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by so much as he that built the house hath more honor than the house.

Concerning whom we have much to say, and hard to be interpreted in speaking of it, since ye are become dull in hearing.

And by how much it was not without the swearing of an oath;

By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.

But I much more beseech you to do this, that I may the more quickly be restored to you.
