Hebrews 2:5-18

5For He did not subjectG5293 to angelsG32 12the worldG3625 to comeG3195, concerningG4012 whichG3739 we are speakingG2980. 6But oneG5100 has testifiedG1263 3somewhereG4225, sayingG3004, “4WhatG5101 is manG444, that You rememberG3403 him? OrG2228 the sonG5207 of manG444, that You are concernedG1980 aboutG1980 him?75You have madeG1642 him 6for a littleG1024 whileG1024 lowerG1642 thanG3844 the angelsG32; You have crownedG4737 him with gloryG1391 and honorG5092, 7And have appointedG2525 him overG1909 the worksG2041 of Your handsG5495;88You 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 9we do not yetG3768 seeG3708 allG3956 thingsG3956 subjectedG5293 to him. 9But we do seeG991 Him who was 10madeG1642 11for a littleG1024 whileG1024 lowerG1642 thanG3844 the angelsG32, namely, JesusG2424, 12becauseG1223 of the sufferingG3804 of deathG2288 13crownedG4737 with gloryG1391 and honorG5092, soG3704 that 14by the graceG5485 of GodG2316 He might 15tasteG1089 deathG2288 16for everyoneG3956.

10For 17it was fittingG4241 for Him, 18for whomG3739 are allG3956 thingsG3956, and throughG1223 whomG3739 are allG3956 thingsG3956, in bringingG71 manyG4183 sonsG5207 to gloryG1391, to 19perfectG5048 the 2021authorG747 of their salvationG4991 throughG1223 sufferingsG3804. 11For bothG5037 He who 22sanctifiesG37 and thoseG3588 who 23are 24sanctifiedG37 are allG3956 25from oneG1520 Father; for whichG3739 reasonG156 He is not ashamedG1870 to callG2564 them 26brethrenG80, 12sayingG3004, “27I will proclaimG518 Your nameG3686 to My brethrenG80, In the midstG3319 of the congregationG1577 I will singG5214 Your praiseG5214.” 13And againG3825, “28I will putG3982 My trustG3982 in Him.” And againG3825, “29BeholdG2400, I and the childrenG3813 whomG3739 GodG2316 has givenG1325 Me.”

14ThereforeG3767, sinceG1893 the childrenG3813 shareG2841 in 3031fleshG4561 and bloodG129, 32He HimselfG846 likewiseG3898 alsoG2532 partookG3348 of the sameG846, that 33throughG1223 deathG2288 He might renderG2673 powerlessG2673 34him who hadG2192 the powerG2904 of deathG2288, that is, the devilG1228, 15and might freeG525 those whoG3745 through 35fearG5401 of deathG2288 were subjectG1777 to slaveryG1397 allG3956 their livesG2198. 16For assuredlyG1222 He does not 36giveG1949 helpG1949 to angelsG32, but He givesG1949 helpG1949 to the 37descendantG4690 of AbrahamG11. 17ThereforeG3606, He 38hadG3784 39to be madeG3666 likeG3666 His brethrenG80 in allG3956 thingsG3956, soG2443 that He might 40becomeG1096 a mercifulG1655 and faithfulG4103 41highG749 priestG749 in 42things pertainingG4314 to GodG2316, to 43makeG2433 propitiationG2433 for the sinsG266 of the peopleG2992. 18For since He HimselfG846 was 44temptedG3985 in that whichG3739 He has sufferedG3958, He is ableG1410 to comeG997 to the aidG997 of thoseG3588 who are temptedG3985.
