Hebrews 2

New American Standard Bible 1995

Give Heed

1For thisG3778 reasonG1223 we mustG1163 payG4337 muchG4057 closerG4057 attentionG4337 to 1what we have heardG191, soG3379 that 2we do not driftG3901 awayG3901 from it. 2For ifG1487 the wordG3056 3spokenG2980 throughG1223 4angelsG32 provedG1096 5unalterableG949, and 6everyG3956 transgressionG3847 and disobedienceG3876 receivedG2983 a justG1738 78penaltyG3405, 39howG4459 will we escapeG1628 if we neglectG272 soG5082 greatG5082 a 10salvationG4991? 11AfterG3748 it was at the firstG746 12spokenG2980 throughG1223 the LordG2962, it was 13confirmedG950 to us by thoseG3588 who heardG191, 4GodG2316 also testifyingG3140 with them, bothG5037 by 14signsG4592 and wondersG5059 and by 15variousG4164 16miraclesG1411 and by 1718giftsG3311 of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 19accordingG2596 to His own willG2308.

Earth Subject to Man

5For He did not subjectG5293 to angelsG32 2021the worldG3625 to comeG3195, concerningG4012 whichG3739 we are speakingG2980. 6But oneG5100 has testifiedG1263 22somewhereG4225, sayingG3004, “23WhatG5101 is manG444, that You rememberG3403 him? OrG2228 the sonG5207 of manG444, that You are concernedG1980 aboutG1980 him?724You have madeG1642 him 25for a littleG1024 whileG1024 lowerG1642 thanG3844 the angelsG32; You have crownedG4737 him with gloryG1391 and honorG5092, 26And have appointedG2525 him overG1909 the worksG2041 of Your handsG5495;827You have putG5293 allG3956 thingsG3956 in subjectionG5293 underG5270 his feetG4228.” For in subjectingG5293 allG3956 thingsG3956 to him, He leftG863 nothingG3762 that is not subjectG506 to him. But nowG3568 28we do not yetG3768 seeG3708 allG3956 thingsG3956 subjectedG5293 to him.

Jesus Briefly Humbled

9But we do seeG991 Him who was 29madeG1642 30for a littleG1024 whileG1024 lowerG1642 thanG3844 the angelsG32, namely, JesusG2424, 31becauseG1223 of the sufferingG3804 of deathG2288 32crownedG4737 with gloryG1391 and honorG5092, soG3704 that 33by the graceG5485 of GodG2316 He might 34tasteG1089 deathG2288 35for everyoneG3956.

10For 36it was fittingG4241 for Him, 37for whomG3739 are allG3956 thingsG3956, and throughG1223 whomG3739 are allG3956 thingsG3956, in bringingG71 manyG4183 sonsG5207 to gloryG1391, to 38perfectG5048 the 3940authorG747 of their salvationG4991 throughG1223 sufferingsG3804. 11For bothG5037 He who 41sanctifiesG37 and thoseG3588 who 42are 43sanctifiedG37 are allG3956 44from oneG1520 Father; for whichG3739 reasonG156 He is not ashamedG1870 to callG2564 them 45brethrenG80, 12sayingG3004, “46I will proclaimG518 Your nameG3686 to My brethrenG80, In the midstG3319 of the congregationG1577 I will singG5214 Your praiseG5214.” 13And againG3825, “47I will putG3982 My trustG3982 in Him.” And againG3825, “48BeholdG2400, I and the childrenG3813 whomG3739 GodG2316 has givenG1325 Me.”

14ThereforeG3767, sinceG1893 the childrenG3813 shareG2841 in 4950fleshG4561 and bloodG129, 51He HimselfG846 likewiseG3898 alsoG2532 partookG3348 of the sameG846, that 52throughG1223 deathG2288 He might renderG2673 powerlessG2673 53him who hadG2192 the powerG2904 of deathG2288, that is, the devilG1228, 15and might freeG525 those whoG3745 through 54fearG5401 of deathG2288 were subjectG1777 to slaveryG1397 allG3956 their livesG2198. 16For assuredlyG1222 He does not 55giveG1949 helpG1949 to angelsG32, but He givesG1949 helpG1949 to the 56descendantG4690 of AbrahamG11. 17ThereforeG3606, He 57hadG3784 58to be madeG3666 likeG3666 His brethrenG80 in allG3956 thingsG3956, soG2443 that He might 59becomeG1096 a mercifulG1655 and faithfulG4103 60highG749 priestG749 in 61things pertainingG4314 to GodG2316, to 62makeG2433 propitiationG2433 for the sinsG266 of the peopleG2992. 18For since He HimselfG846 was 63temptedG3985 in that whichG3739 He has sufferedG3958, He is ableG1410 to comeG997 to the aidG997 of thoseG3588 who are temptedG3985.
