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.
02 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast,
and every transgression and disobedience received
a just recompence of reward;
03 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;
04 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?
05 For unto the angels hath he not put in
subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.
06 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?
07 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:
08 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.
09 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.
