1Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things that were heard, lest we drift away from them. 2For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward; 3how shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation? which having at the first been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard; 4God also bearing witness with them, both by signs and wonders, and by manifold powers, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will. 5For it was not to angels that he subjected the world to come, of which we speak. 6But one has somewhere testified, saying, What is man, that you are mindful of him? Or the son of man, that you visit him? 7You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor, And set him over the works of your hands: 8You 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 we do not yet see all things subjected to him. 9But we behold him who has been made a little lower than the angels, even Yeshua, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for every man. 10For it was fitting for him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 11For both he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all of one: for which reason he is not ashamed to call them brothers, 12saying, I will declare your name to my brothers, In the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise. 13And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold, I and the children whom God has given me. 14Since then the children are sharers in flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same; that through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15and might deliver all those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16For truly not to angels does he give help, but he gives help to the seed of Abraham. 17Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in all things, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18For since he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.
