Hebrews 1:1-4

Common English Bible CEB

1 In the past, God spoke through the prophets to our ancestors in many times and many ways.

2 In these final days, though, he spoke to us through a Son. God made his Son the heir of everything and created the world through him.

3 The Son is the light of God's glory and the imprint of God's being. He maintains everything with his powerful message. After he carried out the cleansing of people from their sins, he sat down at the right side of the highest majesty.

4 And the Son became so much greater than the other messengers, such as angels, that he received a more important title than theirs.

New Revised Standard NRS

1 Long ago God spoke to our ancestors in many and various ways by the prophets,

2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom he also created the worlds.

3 He is the reflection of God's glory and the exact imprint of God's very being, and he sustains all things by his powerful word. When he had made purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

4 having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.

Hebrews 2:5-12

Common English Bible CEB

5 God didn't put the world that is coming (the world we are talking about) under the angels' control.

6 Instead, someone declared somewhere, What is humanity that you think about them? Or what are the human beings that you care about them?

7 For a while you made them lower than angels. You crowned the human beings with glory and honor.

8 You put everything under their control. When he puts everything under their control, he doesn't leave anything out of control. But right now, we don't see everything under their control yet.

9 However, we do see the one who was made lower in order than the angels for a little while—it's Jesus! He's the one who is now crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of his death. He suffered death so that he could taste death for everyone through God's grace.

10 It was appropriate for God, for whom and through whom everything exists, to use experiences of suffering to make perfect the pioneer of salvation. This salvation belongs to many sons and daughters whom he's leading to glory.

11 This is because the one who makes people holy and the people who are being made holy all come from one source. That is why Jesus isn't ashamed to call them brothers and sisters when he says,

12 I will publicly announce your name to my brothers and sisters. I will praise you in the middle of the assembly.

New Revised Standard NRS

5 Now God did not subject the coming world, about which we are speaking, to angels.

6 But someone has testified somewhere, "What are human beings that you are mindful of them, or mortals, that you care for them?

7 You have made them for a little while lower than the angels; you have crowned them with glory and honor,

8 subjecting all things under their feet." Now in subjecting all things to them, God left nothing outside their control. As it is, we do not yet see everything in subjection to them,

9 but we do see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.

10 It was fitting that God, for whom and through whom all things exist, in bringing many children to glory, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

11 For the one who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one Father. For this reason Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters,

12 saying, "I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters, in the midst of the congregation I will praise you."
