Hebrews:2:5-18
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For he has not subjected to angels the coming world of which we speak .
*
But somewhere one says , "
What is man that thou rememberest him ?
Or the son of man that thou carest for him ?
*
Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels .
With glory and honor thou hast crowned him .
*
All things thou hast put under his feet ."
When he put all things under him he left nothing that was not put under him .
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 that by the grace of God he might taste of death for every man ,
now crowned with glory and honor .
*
For it was fitting that he through whom are all things and for whom are all things ,
when leading many sons to glory ,
should make the great Leader of their salvation perfect through sufferings .
*
For he who makes holy and they who are made holy are all of one .
For this cause he is not ashamed to call them brothers ,
*
saying , "
I will tell thy name to my brothers .
In the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to thee ,"
*
and again , "
I will trust in him ,"
and again , "
Here am I and the children whom God has given me ."
*
Since then the children share in blood and flesh ,
he himself in the same way shared in them ,
in order that through death he might defeat him who had the power of death ,
that is ,
the Devil ,
*
and set free all those who through fear of death were all their lives doomed to slavery .
*
For he does not come to the help of angels ,
but he comes to the help of the descendants of Abraham .
*
And for that reason he had to be made like his brethren in everything ,
so as to be a compassionate and faithful high priest in things relating to God ,
to make propitiation for the sins of the people .
*
For since he himself has suffered when tempted he is able to help those who are tempted .
