Hebrews:2
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 stedfast ,
and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward ;
*
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 ;
*
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 ?
*
For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come ,
whereof we speak .
*
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 ?
*
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 :
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 ,
*
Saying ,
I will declare thy name unto my brethren ,
in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee .
*
And again ,
I will put my trust in him .
And again ,
Behold I and the children which God hath given me .
*
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 ;
*
And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage .
*
For verily he took not on him the nature of angels ;
but he took on him the seed of Abraham .
*
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 .
*
For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted ,
he is able to succour them that are tempted .
