Hebrews 2

1 We must pay closer attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.

2 For if the message spoken by angels was binding, and every transgression and disobedience received its just punishment,

3 how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? This salvation was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard Him,

4 and was affirmed by God through signs, wonders, various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to His will.

5 For it is not to angels that He has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking.

6 But somewhere it is testified in these words: “What is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him?

7 You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor,

8 and placed everything under his feet.” When God subjected all things to him, He left nothing outside of his control. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to him.

9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because He suffered death, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.

10 In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting for God, for whom and through whom all things exist, to make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering.

11 For both the One who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers.

12 He says: “I will proclaim Your name to My brothers; I will sing Your praises in the assembly.”

13 And again: “I will put My trust in Him.” And once again: “Here am I, and the children God has given Me.”

14 Now since the children have flesh and blood, He too shared in their humanity, so that by His death He might destroy him who holds the power of death, that is, the devil,

15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.

16 For surely it is not the angels He helps, but the descendants of Abraham.

17 For this reason He had to be made like His brothers in every way, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, in order to make atonement for the sins of the people.

18 Because He Himself suffered when He was tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted.

1 ¶ Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let [them] slip.

2 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;

3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard [him];

4 God also bearing [them] witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?

5 ¶ For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.

6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?

7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:

8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing [that is] not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.

9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

10 ¶ For it became him, for whom [are] all things, and by whom [are] all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified [are] all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.

13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.

14 ¶ Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

16 For verily he took not on [him the nature of] angels; but he took on [him] the seed of Abraham.

17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto [his] brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things [pertaining] to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

1 Therefore we ought the more to hearken unto the word which we hear, that we go not away.

2 For if the word which was spoken by angels be established, and every transgression and disobedience receive their due reward:

3 How shall we escape, if we regard not such blessedness? which, after it was first preached by the Lord, it came upon us by them that heard it.

4 And God bore witness to them with signs and wonders and various powers, and with the dispensation of the Holy Spirit according to His will.

5 For he hath not put the angels in charge of the world to come, whereof we speak.

6 And there is one that testifieth in one place, saying, What is man, that thou rememberest him? and the Son of man, that thou visitest him?

7 Thou hast made him lack a little time of angels: with glory and honour hast thou crowned him, and hast set him over the works of thy hands;

8 Thou hast put all things under his feet. In that he hath put all things under him, he hath left nothing that is not subject unto him: but now we see not yet that all things are subject unto him.

9 But the one who lacked a little time of angels, we see that it is JEsus, crowned with glory and honor through suffering of death, that by the grace of GOD he might taste death for all.

10 For it behoved him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, who hath brought many children unto glory, to make perfect the duke of their blessedness through sufferings.

11 For they all come of one, both he that sanctifieth, and they that are sanctified. Therefore he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, and will sing praise unto thee in the midst of the congregation.

13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold, I and the children which God hath given me.

14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he is likewise made partaker of them, that through death he might take away the power of him that had the power of death, that is, of the devil,

15 And redeemed them which through fear of death were servants all their days.

16 For nowhere doth he take the angels unto himself, but the seed of Abraham doth he take unto himself.

17 Therefore he had to become like his brethren in all things, that he might be merciful, and a faithful high priest before God, to make reconciliation for the sin of the people.

18 For in that he hath suffered, and is tempted, he is able to help them that are tempted.
