Hebrews 2:1-10

1Therefore we must pay closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.

2For if the message spoken through angels proved to be so firm that every violation or disobedience received its just penalty,

3how will we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was first communicated through the Lord and was confirmed to us by those who heard him,

4while God confirmed their witness with signs and wonders and various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.

5For he did not put the world to come, about which we are speaking, under the control of angels.

6Instead someone testified somewhere: “What is man that you think of him or the son of man that you care for him?

7You made him lower than the angels for a little while. You crowned him with glory and honor.

8You put all things under his control.” For when he put all things under his control, he left nothing outside of his control. At present we do not yet see all things under his control,

9but we see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by God’s grace he would experience death on behalf of everyone.

10For it was fitting for him, for whom and through whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
