Dual Panel1For this<3778> reason<1223> we must<1163> pay<4337> much<4057> closer<4057> attention<4337> to what we have heard<191>, so<3379> that we do not drift<3901> away<3901> from it.
2For if<1487> the word<3056> spoken<2980> through<1223> angels<32> proved<1096> unalterable<949>, and every<3956> transgression<3847> and disobedience<3876> received<2983> a just<1738> penalty<3405>,
3how<4459> will we escape<1628> if we neglect<272> so<5082> great<5082> a salvation<4991>? After<3748> it was at the first<746> spoken<2980> through<1223> the Lord<2962>, it was confirmed<950> to us by those<3588> who heard<191>,
4God<2316> also testifying<3140> with them, both<5037> by signs<4592> and wonders<5059> and by various<4164> miracles<1411> and by gifts<3311> of the Holy<40> Spirit<4151> according<2596> to His own will<2308>.
5For He did not subject<5293> to angels<32> the world<3625> to come<3195>, concerning<4012> which<3739> we are speaking<2980>.
6But one<5100> has testified<1263> somewhere<4225>, saying<3004>, "WHAT<5101> IS MAN<444>, THAT YOU REMEMBER<3403> HIM? OR<2228> THE SON<5207> OF MAN<444>, THAT YOU ARE CONCERNED<1980> ABOUT<1980> HIM?
7"YOU HAVE MADE<1642> HIM FOR A LITTLE<1024> WHILE<1024> LOWER<1642> THAN<3844> THE ANGELS<32>; YOU HAVE CROWNED<4737> HIM WITH GLORY<1391> AND HONOR<5092>, AND HAVE APPOINTED<2525> HIM OVER<1909> THE WORKS<2041> OF YOUR HANDS<5495>;
8YOU HAVE PUT<5293> ALL<3956> THINGS<3956> IN SUBJECTION<5293> UNDER<5270> HIS FEET<4228>." For in subjecting<5293> all<3956> things<3956> to him, He left<863> nothing<3762> that is not subject<506> to him. But now<3568> we do not yet<3768> see<3708> all<3956> things<3956> subjected<5293> to him.
9But we do see<991> Him who was made<1642> for a little<1024> while<1024> lower<1642> than<3844> the angels<32>, namely, Jesus<2424>, because<1223> of the suffering<3804> of death<2288> crowned<4737> with glory<1391> and honor<5092>, so<3704> that by the grace<5485> of God<2316> He might taste<1089> death<2288> for everyone<3956>.
10For it was fitting<4241> for Him, for whom<3739> are all<3956> things<3956>, and through<1223> whom<3739> are all<3956> things<3956>, in bringing<71> many<4183> sons<5207> to glory<1391>, to perfect<5048> the author<747> of their salvation<4991> through<1223> sufferings<3804>.
11For both<5037> He who sanctifies<37> and those<3588> who are sanctified<37> are all<3956> from one<1520> Father; for which<3739> reason<156> He is not ashamed<1870> to call<2564> them brethren<80>,
12saying<3004>, "I WILL PROCLAIM<518> YOUR NAME<3686> TO MY BRETHREN<80>, IN THE MIDST<3319> OF THE CONGREGATION<1577> I WILL SING<5214> YOUR PRAISE<5214>."
13And again<3825>, "I WILL PUT<3982> MY TRUST<3982> IN HIM." And again<3825>, "BEHOLD<2400>, I AND THE CHILDREN<3813> WHOM<3739> GOD<2316> HAS GIVEN<1325> ME."
14Therefore<3767>, since<1893> the children<3813> share<2841> in flesh<4561> and blood<129>, He Himself<846> likewise<3898> also<2532> partook<3348> of the same<846>, that through<1223> death<2288> He might render<2673> powerless<2673> him who had<2192> the power<2904> of death<2288>, that is, the devil<1228>,
15and might free<525> those who<3745> through fear<5401> of death<2288> were subject<1777> to slavery<1397> all<3956> their lives<2198>.
16For assuredly<1222> He does not give<1949> help<1949> to angels<32>, but He gives<1949> help<1949> to the descendant<4690> of Abraham<11>.
17Therefore<3606>, He had<3784> to be made<3666> like<3666> His brethren<80> in all<3956> things<3956>, so<2443> that He might become<1096> a merciful<1655> and faithful<4103> high<749> priest<749> in things pertaining<4314> to God<2316>, to make<2433> propitiation<2433> for the sins<266> of the people<2992>.
18For since He Himself<846> was tempted<3985> in that which<3739> He has suffered<3958>, He is able<1410> to come<997> to the aid<997> of those<3588> who are tempted<3985>.
