NASB Bible

Hebrews 2

Give Heed

1

For this reason we must pay much closer attention to  1what we have heard, so that  awe do not drift away from it.

2

For if the word  aspoken through  bangels proved  1unalterable, and  cevery transgression and disobedience received a just  2 dpenalty,

3

 ahow will we escape if we neglect so great a  bsalvation?  1After it was at the first  cspoken through the Lord, it was  dconfirmed to us by those who heard,

4

God also testifying with them, both by  asigns and wonders and by  bvarious  1miracles and by  2 cgifts of the Holy Spirit  daccording to His own will.

Earth Subject to Man

5

For He did not subject to angels  1 athe world to come, concerning which we are speaking.

6

But one has testified  asomewhere, saying, " bWHAT IS MAN, THAT YOU REMEMBER HIM? OR THE SON OF MAN, THAT YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT HIM?

7

aYOU HAVE MADE HIM  1FOR A LITTLE WHILE LOWER THAN THE ANGELS; YOU HAVE CROWNED HIM WITH GLORY AND HONOR,  2AND HAVE APPOINTED HIM OVER THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS;

8

 aYOU HAVE PUT ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET." For in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing that is not subject to him. But now  bwe do not yet see all things subjected to him.

Jesus Briefly Humbled

9

But we do see Him who was  amade  1for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus,  bbecause of the suffering of death  ccrowned with glory and honor, so that  dby the grace of God He might  etaste death  ffor everyone.

10

For  ait was fitting for Him,  bfor whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to  cperfect the  1 dauthor of their salvation through sufferings.

11

For both He who  asanctifies and those who  bare  1sanctified are all  cfrom one Father; for which reason He is not ashamed to call them  dbrethren,

12

saying, " aI WILL PROCLAIM YOUR NAME TO MY BRETHREN, IN THE MIDST OF THE CONGREGATION I WILL SING YOUR PRAISE."

13

And again, " aI WILL PUT MY TRUST IN HIM." And again, " bBEHOLD, I AND THE CHILDREN WHOM GOD HAS GIVEN ME."

14

Therefore, since the children share in  1 aflesh and blood,  bHe Himself likewise also partook of the same, that  cthrough death He might render powerless  dhim who had the power of death, that is, the devil,

15

and might free those who through  afear of death were subject to slavery all their lives.

16

For assuredly He does not  1give help to angels, but He gives help to the  2descendant of Abraham.

17

Therefore, He  1had  ato be made like His brethren in all things, so that He might  bbecome a merciful and faithful  chigh priest in  dthings pertaining to God, to  emake propitiation for the sins of the people.

18

For since He Himself was  atempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted.
