LO - Hebrews - 2

2:1  (On this account, we ought to attend the more earnestly to the things which were heard; lest at any time we should left them slip.

2:2  For if the word spoken by angels was firm, and every transgression and disobedience received a just retribution;

2:3  how shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation? which, beginning to be spoken by the Lord, was confirmed to us by them who heard him;

2:4  God, also, bearing witness, both by signs and wonders, and divers miracles, and distributions of the Holy Spirit, according to his own pleasure.)

2:5  Moreover, he has not subjected to the angels the world to come, of which we are speaking.

2:6  But one in a certain place has testified, saying, "What is man that thou art mindful of him--or the son of man, that thou dost regard him?

2:7  Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels; thou hast crowned him with glory and honor,

2:8  thou hast put all things under his feet." Now, by putting all things in subjection to him, he left nothing that is not subject to him; but now, we do not yet see all things subjected to him;

2:9  but we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, that he, by the favor of God, might taste death for all; for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor!

2:10  For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, to make him, who leads many sons to glory--even the Captain of their Salvation--perfect through sufferings.

2:11  For both he who sanctifies, and they who are sanctified, are all of one Father ; for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren;

2:12  saying, "I will announce thy name to my brethren: in the midst of the congregation I will sing praises to thee."

2:13  And, again, "I will put my trust in him." And again, "Behold I, and the children whom God has given me."

2:14  Since, then, the children partook of flesh and blood; he, also, in like manner, partook of these; that, through death, he might vanquish him who had the power of death, that is, the devil;

2:15  and deliver them, who, through fear of death, were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

2:16  For, indeed, he has not at all assumed the nature of angels; but he has assumed the seed of Abraham.

2:17  Hence, it was necessary for him to be made like his brethren in all things; that he might be a merciful and faithful High Priest, in matters pertaining to God, in order to expiate the sins of the people;

2:18  for, by what he suffered himself, when tried; he is able to succor them who are tried.
