1 Therefore we ought to pay greater attention to the things that were heard, lest perhaps we drift away. 2 For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense; 3 how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation - which at the first having been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard; 4 God also bearing witness with them, both by signs and wonders, and by various works of power, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will? 5 For he didn't subject the world to come, whereof we speak, to angels. 6 But one has somewhere testified, saying,
"What is man, that you think of him?
7 You made him a little lower than the angels;
For in that he subjected all things to him, he left nothing that is not
subject to him. But now we don't see all things subjected to him, yet.
9 But we see him who has been made a little lower than the angels, Jesus,
because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the
grace of God he should taste of death for everyone. 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 those who are sanctified are
all from one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them
"I will declare your name to my brothers.
13 Again, "I will put my trust in him." Again, "Behold, here am I and the
children whom God has given me." 14 Since then the children have shared in
flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same, that
through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that
is, the devil, 15 and might deliver all of them who through fear of death
were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16 For most assuredly, not to
angels does he give help, but he gives help to the seed of Abraham.
17 Therefore he was obligated in all things to be made like his brothers,
that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining
to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people. 18 For in that he
himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help those who are
tempted.
