| 1 | Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard , lest at any time we should let [them] slip . |
| 2 | For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast , and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward ; |
| 3 | How shall we escape , if we neglect so great salvation ; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord , and was confirmed unto us by them that heard [him]; |
| 4 | God also bearing [them] witness , both with signs and wonders , and with divers miracles , and gifts of the Holy Ghost , according to his own will ? |
| 5 | For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come , whereof we speak . |
| 6 | But one in a certain place testified , saying , What is man , that thou art mindful of him ? or the son of man , that thou visitest him ? |
| 7 | Thou madest him a little lower than the angels ; thou crownedst him with glory and honour , and didst set him over the works of thy hands : |
| 8 | Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet . For in that he put all in subjection under him , he left nothing [that is] not put under him . But now we see not yet all things put under him . |
| 9 | But we see Jesus , who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death , crowned with glory and honour ; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man . |
| 10 | For it became him , for whom [are] all things , and by whom [are] all things , in bringing many sons unto glory , to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings . |
| 11 | For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified [are] all of one : for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren , |
| 12 | Saying , I will declare thy name unto my brethren , in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee . |
| 13 | And again , I will put my trust in him . And again , Behold I and the children which God hath given me . |
| 14 | Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood , he also himself likewise took part of the same ; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death , that is , the devil ; |
| 15 | And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage . |
| 16 | For verily he took not on [him the nature of] angels ; but he took on [him] the seed of Abraham . |
| 17 | Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto [his] brethren , that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things [pertaining] to God , to make reconciliation for the sins of the people . |
| 18 | For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted , he is able to succour them that are tempted . |
