1 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. 2 For if the word spo­ken by an­gels was sted­fast, and ev­ery trans­gres­sion and dis­obe­di­ence re­ceived a just rec­om­pence of re­ward; 3 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; 4 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? 5 For unto the an­gels hath he not put in sub­jec­tion the world to come, where­of we speak. 6 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? 7 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: 8 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. 9 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. 10 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. 11 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, 12 Say­ing, I will de­clare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee. 13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Be­hold I and the chil­dren which God hath giv­en me. 14 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; 15 And de­liv­er them who through fear of death were all their life­time sub­ject to bondage. 16 For ver­i­ly he took not on him the na­ture of an­gels; but he took on him the seed of Abra­ham. 17 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. 18 For in that he him­self hath suf­fered be­ing tempt­ed, he is able to suc­cour them that are tempt­ed.
