Hebrews 2

1 Therefore it behooves us the more earnestly to give heed to the things which we have heard, lest at some time we may leak out.

For this reason we ought the more earnestly to attend to what we have heard, least by any means we should be found deficient.

2 For if the word having been spoken by angels was stedfast, and every disobedience and transgression received a just recompense of reward;

For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received it's just recompence;

3 how shall we escape, having neglected so great a salvation? which having received the beginning to be spoken by the Lord, was confirmed unto us by those who heard it;

how shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation? which began to be declared by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by them that heard Him;

4 God at the same time witnessing, by signs and indeed by wonders, and various dynamites, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his will.

God also testifying together with them by signs, and wonders, and divers miracles, and gifts of the holy Spirit, according to his own will.

5 For he did not submit the world to come, concerning which we speak, to angels.

For He hath not subjected to angels the world to come, of which we speak.

6 But somewhere one testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? Or the Son of man, that thou visitest him?

But one in a certain place hath testified, saying, "What is man that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest Him?

7 Thou didst humiliate him somewhat comparatively with the angels; thou didst crown him with glory and honor;

Thou madest Him for a little while inferior to the angels; with glory and honor hast thou crowned Him, and hast set Him over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet,"

8 thou didst subordinate all things beneath his feet. For in subordinating all things beneath him, he left nothing which is not subordinated beneath him.

For in putting all things under Him, He left nothing which was not to be in subjection to Him: though we do not yet see all things subjected to Him.

9 But we see Jesus humiliated somewhat in comparison with the angels, having been crowned with glory and honor on account of the suffering of death, in order that by the grace of God he might taste death for every one.

But we see Jesus, who was made for a little while lower than the angels, in order to suffer death, that by the grace of God He might taste death for every man, crowned with glory and honor.

10 For it became him, on account of whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in leading many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through suffering.

For it became Him for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect by sufferings:

11 For both the one sanctifying and they who are sanctified are all of one: on account of which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

since He that sanctifieth, and they that are sanctified, are all of one. For which cause He is not ashamed to call them brethren,

12 saying, I will proclaim thy name to thy brethren, in the midst of the church will sing praises to thee.

saying, "I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the congregation will I praise Thee."

13 And again, I will put my trust in him: and again; Behold, I and the children which God has given unto me.

And again, "I will trust in Him:" and again, "Behold, I, and the children which God hath given me."

14 Then since the children have inherited blood and flesh, he likewise also received the same, in order that through death he might set at nought him who has the power of death, that is, the devil;

Seeing then the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also himself in like manner partook of them; that by death He might destroy him that had the empire of death, that is, the devil:

15 and might reconcile them whosoever were subject to bondage all their life through the fear of death.

and deliver those who through fear of death were all their life-time subject to bondage.

16 For not yet does he take upon himself the nature of angels, but he takes upon himself the seed of Abraham.

For indeed He taketh not hold of angels to save them, but of the seed of Abraham.

17 Therefore he ought in all things to be made like unto his brethren, in order that he might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things appertaining to God, to the end that he may atone for the sins of the people.

Whence it behoved Him to be made in all things like unto his brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful high-priest in the things concerning God, to make atonement for the sins of the people:

18 For in that he himself suffered being tempted, he is able to succor those who are tempted.

for as He himself hath suffered, in being tempted, He is able to succour those that are tempted.
