For this reason
we must
pay
much
closer
attention
to 1what we have heard
, so
that awe do not drift
away
from it.
For if the word
aspoken
through
bangels
proved
1unalterable
, and cevery
transgression
and disobedience
received
a just
2 dpenalty
,
ahow will we escape
if we neglect
so
great
a bsalvation
? 1After
it was at the first
cspoken
through
the Lord
, it was dconfirmed
to us by those
who heard
,
God also testifying
with them, both
by asigns
and wonders
and by bvarious
1miracles
and by 2 cgifts
of the Holy
Spirit
daccording
to His own will
.
For He did not subject to angels
1 athe world
to come
, concerning
which
we are speaking
.
But one has testified
asomewhere
, saying
, " bWHAT
IS MAN
, THAT YOU REMEMBER
HIM? OR
THE SON
OF MAN
, THAT YOU ARE CONCERNED
ABOUT
HIM?
" aYOU HAVE MADE HIM 1FOR A LITTLE
WHILE
LOWER
THAN
THE ANGELS
; YOU HAVE CROWNED
HIM WITH GLORY
AND HONOR
, 2AND HAVE APPOINTED
HIM OVER
THE WORKS
OF YOUR HANDS
;
aYOU 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
bwe do not yet
see
all
things
subjected
to him.
But we do see Him who was amade
1for a little
while
lower
than
the angels
, namely, Jesus
, bbecause
of the suffering
of death
ccrowned
with glory
and honor
, so
that dby the grace
of God
He might etaste
death
ffor everyone
.
For ait was fitting for Him, bfor whom
are all
things
, and through
whom
are all
things
, in bringing
many
sons
to glory
, to cperfect
the 1 dauthor
of their salvation
through
sufferings
.
For both He who asanctifies
and those
who bare 1sanctified
are all
cfrom one
Father; for which
reason
He is not ashamed
to call
them dbrethren
,
saying, " aI WILL PROCLAIM
YOUR NAME
TO MY BRETHREN
, IN THE MIDST
OF THE CONGREGATION
I WILL SING
YOUR PRAISE
."
And again, " aI WILL PUT
MY TRUST
IN HIM." And again
, " bBEHOLD
, I AND THE CHILDREN
WHOM
GOD
HAS GIVEN
ME."
Therefore, since
the children
share
in 1 aflesh
and blood
, bHe Himself
likewise
also
partook
of the same
, that cthrough
death
He might render
powerless
dhim who had
the power
of death
, that is, the devil
,
and might free those who
through afear
of death
were subject
to slavery
all
their lives
.
For assuredly He does not 1give
help
to angels
, but He gives
help
to the 2descendant
of Abraham
.
Therefore, He 1had
ato be made
like
His brethren
in all
things
, so
that He might bbecome
a merciful
and faithful
chigh
priest
in dthings pertaining
to God
, to emake
propitiation
for the sins
of the people
.
For since He Himself was atempted
in that which
He has suffered
, He is able
to come
to the aid
of those
who are tempted
.
