Hebrews 2

King James Version KJV

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.

Lexham English Bible LEB

1 Because of this, [it is] all the more necessary [that] we pay attention to the [things] we have heard, lest we drift away.

2 For if the word spoken through angels was binding and every transgression and act of disobedience received a just penalty,

3 how will we escape [if we] neglect so great a salvation which had [its] beginning [when it] was spoken through the Lord [and] was confirmed to us by those who heard,

4 [while] God was testifying at the same time by signs and wonders and various miracles and distributions of the Holy Spirit according to his will.

5 For he did not subject to angels the world to come, about which we are speaking.

6 But someone testified somewhere, saying, "What is man, that you remember him, or the son of man, that you care for him?

7 You made him for a short [time] lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and honor;

8 you subjected all [things] under his feet. For in subjecting all [things],<note: Some manuscripts have "subjecting all things to him"> he left nothing [that was] not subject to him. But now we do not yet see all [things] subjected to him,

9 but we see Jesus, for a short [time] made lower than the angels, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, so that apart from God he might taste death on behalf of everyone.

10 For it was fitting for him for whom [are] all [things] and through whom [are] all [things] in bringing many sons to glory to perfect the originator of their salvation through sufferings.

11 For both the one who sanctifies and the ones who are sanctified [are] all from one, for which reason he is not ashamed to call them brothers,

12 saying, "I will proclaim your name to my brothers; in the midst of the assembly I will sing in praise of you."<note: A quotation from Ps 22:22>

13 And again, "I will trust in him."<note: A quotation from Isa 8:17> And again, "Behold, I and the children God has given me."<note: A quotation from Isa 8:18>

14 Therefore, since the children share in blood and flesh, he also in like manner shared in these [same things], in order that through death he could destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil,

15 and could set free these who through fear of death were subject to slavery throughout all their lives.

16 For surely he is not concerned with angels, but he is concerned with the descendants of Abraham.

17 Therefore he was obligated to be made like his brothers in all [respects], in order that he could become a merciful and faithful high priest in the things relating to God, in order to make atonement for the sins of the people.

18 For in that which he himself suffered [when he] was tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.
