Hebrews 2
Give Heed
1For this reason we must pay much closer attention to ▼▼ Lit the things that have been heard
what we have heard, so that bwe do not drift away from it. 2For if the word cspoken through dangels proved ▼▼ Or steadfast
unalterable, and fevery transgression and disobedience received a just ▼▼ Or recompense
,
hpenalty, 3 ihow will we escape if we neglect so great a jsalvation? ▼▼ Lit Which was
After it was at the first lspoken through the Lord, it was mconfirmed to us by those who heard, 4God also testifying with them, both by nsigns and wonders and by ovarious ▼▼ Or works of power
miracles and by ▼▼ Lit distributions
,
rgifts of the Holy Spirit saccording to His own will. Earth Subject to Man
5For He did not subject to angels ▼▼ Lit the inhabited earth
,
uthe world to come, concerning which we are speaking. 6But one has testified vsomewhere, saying, w“What is man, that You remember him?Or the son of man, that You are concerned about him?
7 x“You have made him ▼
▼ Or ...him a little lower than...
for a little while lower than the angels;You have crowned him with glory and honor,
▼
▼ Two early mss do not contain And...hands
And have appointed him over the works of Your hands;8 aa You have put all things in subjection under his feet.”
For in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing that is not subject to him. But now abwe do not yet see all things subjected to him.
Jesus Briefly Humbled
9But we do see Him who was acmade ▼▼ Or a little lower
for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, aebecause of the suffering of death afcrowned with glory and honor, so that agby the grace of God He might ahtaste death aifor everyone. 10For ajit was fitting for Him, akfor whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to alperfect the ▼▼ Or leader
,
anauthor of their salvation through sufferings. 11For both He who aosanctifies and those who apare ▼▼ Or being sanctified
sanctified are all arfrom one Father; for which reason He is not ashamed to call them asbrethren, 12saying, at“I will proclaim Your name to My brethren,In the midst of the congregation I will sing Your praise.”
13And again, au“I will put My trust in Him.”
And again,
av“Behold, I and the children whom God has given Me.”
14Therefore, since the children share in ▼
▼ Lit blood and flesh
,
axflesh and blood, ayHe Himself likewise also partook of the same, that azthrough death He might render powerless bahim who had the power of death, that is, the devil, 15and might free those who through bbfear of death were subject to slavery all their lives. 16For assuredly He does not ▼▼ Lit take hold of angels, but He takes hold of
give help to angels, but He gives help to the ▼▼ Lit seed
descendant of Abraham. 17Therefore, He ▼▼ Lit was obligated to be
had bfto be made like His brethren in all things, so that He might bgbecome a merciful and faithful bhhigh priest in bithings pertaining to God, to bjmake propitiation for the sins of the people. 18For since He Himself was bktempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted.
