Hebrews 2

Warning to Pay Attention

2Therefore we must pay greater attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away from it.G1223G5124G2248G1163G4056G4337G191G3379G39012For if the message declared through angels was valid, and every transgression or disobedience received a just penalty,G1063G1487G3056G2980G1223G32G1096G949G2532G3956G3847G2532G3876G2983G1738G34053how 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,G4459G2249G1628G272G5082G4991G3748G746G2983G2980G1223G2962G950G1519G2248G5259G1914while God added his testimony by signs and wonders and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, distributed according to his will.G2316G4901G5037G4592G2532G5059G2532G4164G1411G2532G3311G40G4151G2596G846G2308

Exaltation through Abasement

5Now God did not subject the coming world, about which we are speaking, to angels.G1063G32G5293G3756G5293G3625G3195G4012G3739G29806But someone has testified somewhere, "What are human beings that you are mindful of them, or mortals, that you care for them?G1161G5100G4225G1263G3004G5101G2076G444G3754G3403G846G2228G5207G444G3754G1980G8467You have made them for a little while lower than the angels; you have crowned them with glory and honor,G1642G846G1024G5100G1642G3844G32G4737G846G1391G2532G5092G2532G2525G846G1909G2041G4675G54958subjecting 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,G5293G3956G5293G5270G846G4228G1063G1722G5293G3956G5293G846G863G3762G506G846G1161G3568G3708G3768G3956G5293G8469but 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.G1161G991G2424G3588G1642G1024G5100G1642G3844G32G1223G3804G2288G4737G1391G2532G5092G3704G1089G5485G2316G1089G2288G5228G395610It 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.G1063G4241G846G1223G3739G3956G2532G1223G3739G3956G71G4183G5207G1519G1391G5048G747G846G4991G5048G1223G380411For 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,G1063G5037G37G2532G37G3956G1537G1520G1223G3739G156G1870G3756G1870G2564G846G8012saying, "I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters, in the midst of the congregation I will praise you."G3004G518G4675G3686G3450G80G1722G3319G1577G5214G457113And again, "I will put my trust in him." And again, "Here am I and the children whom God has given me."G2532G3825G1473G2071G3982G1909G846G2532G3825G2400G1473G2532G3813G3739G2316G1325G342714Since, 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,G1893G3767G3813G2841G4561G2532G129G3348G2532G846G3898G3348G846G2443G1223G2288G2673G2192G2904G2288G5123G122815and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by the fear of death.G2532G525G5128G3745G1223G5401G2288G2258G3956G2198G1777G139716For it is clear that he did not come to help angels, but the descendants of Abraham.G1063G1222G1949G3756G1949G32G235G1949G4690G1117Therefore 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.G3606G2596G3956G3784G3666G80G2443G1096G1655G2532G4103G749G4314G2316G1519G2433G266G299218Because he himself was tested by what he suffered, he is able to help those who are being tested.G1063G1722G3739G3958G846G3958G3985G1410G997G3985
