Hebrews:2

* 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 . * For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast , and if every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward , * how shall we escape [if ] we neglect so great a salvation , which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord , and was confirmed unto us by those who heard [Him ]; * God [also ] bearing [them ] witness , both with signs and wonders , and with different kinds of miracles and gifts [of the ] Holy Spirit , according to His own will ? * For He has not put in subjection to the angels the world to come , of which we speak . * But one testified in a certain place , saying , What is man , that You are mindful of him ; or the son of man , that You visit him ? * You have made him a little lower than [the ] angels . You crowned him with glory and honor and set him over the works of Your hands . * You subjected all things under his feet . For in subjecting all things to Him , He did not leave anything not subjected to Him . But now we do not see all things having been subjected to 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 should taste death for every [son ]. * For it became Him , for whom [are ] all things and by whom [are ] all things , in bringing many sons into glory , to perfect the Captain of their salvation through sufferings . * For both He who sanctifies and they who are sanctified [are ] all of One , for which cause He is not ashamed to call them brothers , * saying , I will declare Your name to My brothers ; in the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You . * And again , I will put My trust in Him . And again , Behold Me and the children whom God has given Me . * Since then the children have partaken of flesh and blood , He also Himself likewise partook of the same ; that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death (that is , the Devil ), * and deliver those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage . * For truly He did not take [the nature of ] angels , but He took hold of [the ] seed of Abraham . * Therefore in all things it behoved him to be made like [His ] brothers , that He might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God , to make propitiation for the sins of [His ] people . * For in that He Himself has suffered , having been tempted , He is able to rescue those who are being tempted .
