Hebrews 2

¹ Therefore we must more exceedingly be heeding what is being heard, lest at some time we may be drifting by. ² For if the word spoken through messengers came to be confirmed, and every transgression and disobedience obtained a fair reward, ³ how shall we be escaping when neglecting a salvation of such proportions which, obtaining a beginning through the speaking of the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who hear Him, ⁴ God corroborating, both by signs and miracles and by various powerful deeds and partings of holy spirit, according to His will? ⁵ For not to messengers does He subject the impending inhabited earth, concerning which we are speaking. ⁶ Yet somewhere someone certifies, saying, "What is man, that Thou art mindful of him, Or a son of mankind, that Thou art visiting him? ⁷ Thou makest him some bit inferior to messengers, With glory and honor Thou wreathest him, And dost place him over the works of Thy hands. ⁸ All dost Thou subject underneath his feet." For in the subjection of all to him, He leaves nothing unsubject to him. Yet now we are not as yet seeing all subject to him. ⁹ Yet we are observing Jesus, Who has been made some bit inferior to messengers (because of the suffering of death, wreathed with glory and honor), so that in the grace of God, He should be tasting death for the sake of everyone. ¹⁰ For it became Him, because of Whom all is, and through Whom all is, in leading many sons into glory, to perfect the Inaugurator of their salvation through sufferings. ¹¹ For both He Who is hallowing and those who are being hallowed are all of One, for which cause He is not ashamed to be calling them brethren, ¹² saying, "I shall be reporting Thy name to My brethren, In the midst of the ecclesia shall I be singing hymns to Thee." ¹³ And again, "I shall have confidence in Him." And again, "Lo! I and the little children who are given Me by God!" ¹⁴ Since, then, the little children have participated in blood and flesh, He also was very nigh by partaking of the same, that, through death, He should be discarding him who has the might of death, that is, the Adversary, ¹⁵ and should be clearing those whoever, in fear of death, were through their entire life liable to slavery. ¹⁶ For assuredly it is not taking hold of messengers, but it is taking hold of the seed of Abraham. ¹⁷ Whence He ought, in all things, to be made like the brethren, that He may be becoming a merciful and faithful Chief Priest in that which is toward God, to make a propitiatory shelter for the sins of the people. ¹⁸ For in what He has suffered, undergoing trial, He is able to help those who are being tried.
