Hebrews 2 — WEBC
2Verse 1Therefore we ought to pay greater attention to the things that were heard, lest perhaps we drift away.Verse 2For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just penalty,Verse 3how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation—which at the first having been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard,Verse 4God also testifying with them, both by signs and wonders, by various works of power, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will?Verse 5For he didn’t subject the world to come, of which we speak, to angels.Verse 6But one has somewhere testified, saying,“What is man, that you think of him?Or the son of man, that you care for him?Verse 7You made him a little lower than the angels.You crowned him with glory and honor.+
Verse 8You have put all things in subjection under his feet.”For in that he subjected all things to him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we don’t yet see all things subjected to him.Verse 9But we see him who has been made a little lower than the angels, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for everyone.Verse 10For it became him, for whom are all things and through whom are all things, in bringing many children to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.Verse 11For both he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brothers,+Verse 12saying,“I will declare your name to my brothers.Among the congregation I will sing your praise.”Verse 13Again, “I will put my trust in him.” Again, “Behold, here I am with the children whom God has given me.”Verse 14Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in the same way partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,Verse 15and might deliver all of them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.Verse 16For most certainly, he doesn’t give help to angels, but he gives help to the offspring+of Abraham.Verse 17Therefore he was obligated in all things to be made like his brothers, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people.Verse 18For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.
