Hebrews 2

Common English Bible CEB

1 This is why it's necessary for us to pay more attention to what we have heard, or else we may drift away from it.

2 If the message that was spoken by angels was reliable, and every offense and act of disobedience received an appropriate consequence,

3 how will we escape if we ignore such a great salvation? It was first announced through the Lord, and then it was confirmed by those who heard him.

4 God also vouched for their message with signs, amazing things, various miracles, and gifts from the Holy Spirit, which were handed out the way he wanted.

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.

13 He also says, I will rely on him. And also, Here I am with the children whom God has given to me.

14 Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, he also shared the same things in the same way. He did this to destroy the one who holds the power over death—the devil—by dying.

15 He set free those who were held in slavery their entire lives by their fear of death.

16 Of course, he isn't trying to help angels, but rather he's helping Abraham's descendants.

17 Therefore, he had to be made like his brothers and sisters in every way. This was so that he could become a merciful and faithful high priest in things relating to God, in order to wipe away the sins of the people.

18 He's able to help those who are being tempted, since he himself experienced suffering when he was tempted.

New Revised Standard NRS

1 Therefore we must pay greater attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away from it.

2 For if the message declared through angels was valid, and every transgression or disobedience received a just penalty,

3 how can we escape if we neglect so great a salvation? It was declared at first through the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard him,

4 while God added his testimony by signs and wonders and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, distributed according to his will.

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."

13 And again, "I will put my trust in him." And again, "Here am I and the children whom God has given me."

14 Since, therefore, the children share flesh and blood, he himself likewise shared the same things, so that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil,

15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by the fear of death.

16 For it is clear that he did not come to help angels, but the descendants of Abraham.

17 Therefore he had to become like his brothers and sisters in every respect, so that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make a sacrifice of atonement for the sins of the people.

18 Because he himself was tested by what he suffered, he is able to help those who are being tested.
