Hebrews:2:5-18
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For He has not put the world to come ,
of which we speak ,
in subjection to angels .
*
But one testified in a certain place ,
saying : "
What is man that You are mindful of him ,
Or the son of man that You take care of him ?
*
You have made him a little lower than the angels ;
You have crowned him with glory and honor ,
And set him over the works of Your hands .
*
You have 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 do not yet see all things put under him .
*
But we see Jesus ,
who was made a little lower than the angels ,
for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor ,
that He ,
by the grace of God ,
might taste death for everyone .
*
For it was fitting for Him ,
for whom are all things and by whom are all things ,
in bringing many sons to glory ,
to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings .
*
For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one ,
for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren ,
*
saying : "
I will declare Your name to My brethren ;
In the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You ."
*
And again : "
I will put My trust in Him ."
And again : "
Here am I and the children whom God has given Me ."
*
Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood ,
He Himself likewise shared in the same ,
that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death ,
that is ,
the devil ,
*
and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage .
*
For indeed He does not give aid to angels ,
but He does give aid to the seed of Abraham .
*
Therefore ,
in all things He had to be made like His brethren ,
that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God ,
to make propitiation for the sins of the people .
*
For in that He Himself has suffered ,
being tempted ,
He is able to aid those who are tempted .
