1 Therefore we ought to give the more earn heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
Wherefore wee ought diligently to giue heede to the thinges which wee haue heard, lest at any time we runne out.
2 For if the word (logos) spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;
For if the worde spoken by Angels was stedfast, and euery transgression, and disobedience receiued a iust 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 Spirit, (pneuma) according to his own will?

6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that you are mindful of him? or the son of man that you visit him?

7 You made him a little lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and honour, and did set him over the works of your hands:
Thou madest him a litle inferiour to ye Angels: thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and hast set him aboue the workes of thine hands.
8 You have 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.
Thou hast put all things in subiection vnder his feete. And in that he hath put all things in subiection vnder him, he left nothing that should not be subiect vnto him. But we yet see not all things subdued vnto 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.
But we see Iesus crowned with glory and honour, which was made litle inferiour to the Angels, through the suffering of death, that by Gods grace he might taste death for all men.
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 santifies and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
For he that sanctifieth, and they which are sanctified, are all of one: wherefore he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
12 Saying, I will declare your name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto you.
Saying, I will declare thy Name vnto my brethren: in the middes of the Church will I sing praises to thee.
13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God has given me.
And againe, I will put my trust in him. And againe, Beholde, here am I, and the children which God hath giuen 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;
Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himselfe likewise tooke part with them, that hee might destroye through death, him that had the power of death, that is the deuil,
15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
And that he might deliuer all them, which for feare of death were all their life time subiect to bondage.
16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
