夫終須廢棄之臨時制度、且產生於光榮之中、則其永久者之光榮、又為何如！

若那废掉的有荣光，这长存的就更有荣光了。

若是那逐渐褪色的有荣光，这长存的就更有荣光了。

若是那逐渐褪色的有荣光，这长存的就更有荣光了。

那渐渐消逝的尚且有荣耀，这永远长存的更是荣耀无比。

如果那短暂的有荣光，那长存的就更有荣光了。

这样，那渐渐消失的尚且带有荣光，何况这长存的，难道不更带有荣光吗？

若那廢掉的有榮光，這長存的就更有榮光了。

若是那逐漸褪色的有榮光，這長存的就更有榮光了。

若是那逐漸褪色的有榮光，這長存的就更有榮光了。

那漸漸消逝的尚且有榮耀，這永遠長存的更是榮耀無比。

如果那短暫的有榮光，那長存的就更有榮光了。

那漸漸消逝的制度若是通過榮光而立，這長存的就越發帶着榮光了。

這樣，那漸漸消失的尚且帶有榮光，何況這長存的，難道不更帶有榮光嗎？

蓋暫存者若榮、則永存者更榮矣、○

暫有者若榮、則永存者更榮、

若將廢者有榮、則永存者更有榮、○

And if what was transitory came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts!

The glory of the old lasts for only a short time. How much greater is the glory of the new! It will last forever.

For if what was being brought to an end came with glory, much more will what is permanent have glory.

So if the old way, which has been replaced, was glorious, how much more glorious is the new, which remains forever!

For if what was set aside was glorious, what endures will be even more glorious.

For if that which fades away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.

For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious.

For if that which passeth away was with glory, much more that which remaineth is in glory.

For if what was fading away was glorious, what endures will be even more glorious.

For if that which is done away[ was] glorious, much more that which remaineth[ is] glorious.

For if what was made ineffective came with glory, how much more has what remains come in glory!

For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.

夫法之所至罪之所彰也；而罪之所彰、恩亦彌盛。罪之彰在死亡之界而恩之盛則在永生之域。其所以然者、惟恃吾主耶穌而成義耳。

夫既曰新約、則舊者之見廢明矣。蓋天下之事、陳舊而呈衰老之象者、其離死亡不遠矣。

經云：『主既立誓豈能悔、爾為司祭永無替。』此即天主向耶穌所立之誓也。然則耶穌所為仲介之新約、視舊約豈不更美乎。昔日之為司祭者、不一而足；蓋以有死之身任之、其不能恆久固矣。惟耶穌則有生而無死、故其司祭職位、亦永世而弗替。因是凡賴彼而歸天主者、彼常能為其轉求、而拯救之也。

吾人既蒙洪恩、而負此使命、故中心不餒、

不寧惟是、使吾儕足以任新約之役者、亦惟天主而已。此約也、非本乎文字、乃本乎聖神。蓋文字乃肅殺之具、而聖神則生命之源也。夫以肅殺之文字、勒之於石、供其役者、且有盛極一時之殊榮、甚至摩西面上光采煥發、非義塞子孫所得而直視焉；

爾其慎旃、切勿輕忽其所發之言也。夫古人之不聽從地上施教之人者、尚不能免責矧於自天所訓而不聽從者、其能僥倖於萬一乎？當時厥音曾震動天地、而今吾人則有恩諾曰：『吾當更有一度、不僅動地、亦將驚天。』其言「更有一度、」何謂也？乃云凡屬可動搖者、將盡去之；而不可動搖者、將永存之耳。然則吾人既受有不可動搖之邦國、猶可不懷洪恩、小心翼翼、昭示天主、以取其悅乎？應知吾人之天主、乃燎原之火也。
