Hebrews 5 explains that every high priest is appointed from among men to offer sacrifices for sins, and Christ likewise did not take this honor on himself but was appointed by God. It then warns readers who have become dull of hearing that they need milk instead of solid food, urging them to grow in discernment.

Hebrews 3 contrasts Jesus, the faithful Apostle and High Priest, with Moses, showing Jesus deserves greater glory as the Son over God's house. It warns believers against hardening their hearts through unbelief, urging mutual encouragement and perseverance to the end.

Hebrews 2 urges greater attention to the salvation spoken by the Lord, warning that neglect brings no escape. It then shows Jesus, made lower than angels for a time, crowned with glory through suffering death, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest and help those who are tempted.

Hebrews 1 declares that God, who spoke through prophets in the past, has now spoken by His Son, who is heir of all things, creator, radiance of God's glory, and exact image of His substance. The Son purified sins, sat at God's right hand, and is superior to angels, who are serving spirits sent for those who will inherit salvation.
