Heb 2
1
Therefore we ought to give the more earn heed to the things that were heard, lest
haply we drift away [from them].
2
For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and
disobedience received a just recompense of reward;
3
how shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation? which having at the first
been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by them that heard;
4
God also bearing witness with them, both by signs and wonders, and by manifold powers,
and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will.
5
For not to angels did he subject the world to come, whereof we speak.
6
But one has somewhere testified, saying, What is man, that you are mindful of him?
Or the son of man, that you visit him?
7
You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor,
And did set him over the works of your hands:
8
You did put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he subjected
all things to him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we see not
yet all things subjected to him.
9
But we behold him who has been made a little lower than the angels, [even] Jesus,
because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace
of God he should taste of death for every [man].
10
For it became him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing
many sons to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
11
For both he who sanctifies and they that are sanctified are all of one: for which
cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
12
saying, I will declare your name to my brethren, In the midst of the congregation
will I sing your praise.
13
And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold, I and the children whom
God has given me.
14
Since then the children are sharers in flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner
partook of the same; that through death he might bring to nothing him whom had the
power of death, that is, the devil;
15
and might deliver all them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject
to bondage.
16
For truly not to angels does he give help, but he gives help to the seed of Abraham.
17
Wherefore it behooved him in all things to be made like to his brethren, that he might
become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation
for the sins of the people.
18
For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to succor them that
are tempted.
