Dual Panel1Therefore <1223> <5124> we <2248> must <1163> pay <4337> closer <4056> attention <4337> to what we have heard <191>, so that we do <3901> not <3379> drift away <3901>.
2For <1063> if <1487> the message <3056> spoken <2980> through <1223> angels <32> proved to be <1096> so firm <949> that every <3956> violation <3847> or <2532> disobedience <3876> received <2983> its just <1738> penalty <3405>,
3how <4459> will <1628> we <2249> escape <1628> if we neglect <272> such a great <5082> salvation <4991>? It was first <746> communicated <2980> through <1223> the Lord <2962> and was confirmed <950> to <1519> us <2248> by <5259> those who heard <191> him,
4while <4901> God <2316> confirmed <4901> their witness <4901> with signs <4592> and <5037> <2532> wonders <5059> and <2532> various <4164> miracles <1411> and <2532> gifts of the Holy <40> Spirit <4151> distributed <3311> according to <2596> his <846> will <2308>.
5For <1063> he did not <3756> put the world <3625> to come <3195>, about <4012> which <3739> we are speaking <2980>, under the control <5293> of angels <32>.
6Instead <1161> someone <5100> testified <1263> somewhere <4225>: “What <5101> is <1510> man <444> that <3754> you think <3403> of him <846> or <2228> the son <5207> of man <444> that <3754> you care <1980> for him <846>?
7You made <1642> him <846> lower <1642> than <3844> the angels <32> for a little while <1024>. You crowned <4737> him <846> with glory <1391> and <2532> honor <5092>.
8You put <5293> all things <3956> under <5270> his <846> control <4228>.” For <1063> when he put <5293> all things <3956> under <5293> his control <846>, he left <863> nothing <3762> outside of his <846> control <506>. At present <3568> we do <3708> not yet <3768> see <3708> all things <3956> under <5293> his <846> control <5293>,
9but <1161> we see <991> Jesus <2424>, who was made lower <1642> than <3844> the angels <32> for a little while <1024>, now crowned <4737> with glory <1391> and <2532> honor <5092> because he suffered <3804> death <2288>, so that <3704> by God’s <2316> grace <5485> he would experience <1089> death <2288> on behalf <5228> of everyone <3956>.
10For <1063> it was fitting <4241> for him <846>, for <1223> whom <3739> and <2532> through <1223> whom <3739> all things <3956> exist, in bringing <71> many <4183> sons <5207> to <1519> glory <1391>, to make <5048> the pioneer <747> of their <846> salvation <4991> perfect <5048> through <1223> sufferings <3804>.
11For <1063> indeed he who makes holy <37> and <2532> those being made holy <37> all <3956> have the same origin <1537> <1520>, and so <156> he is <1870> not <3756> ashamed <1870> to call <2564> them <846> brothers and sisters <80>,
12saying <3004>, “I will proclaim <518> your <4675> name <3686> to my <3450> brothers <80>; in <1722> the midst <3319> of <1577> the assembly <1577> I will praise <5214> you <4571>.”
13Again <3825> he says, “I <1473> will be <1510> confident <3982> in <1909> him <846>,” and <2532> again <3825>, “Here <2400> I <1473> am, with the children <3813> God <2316> has given <1325> me <3427>.”
14Therefore <3767>, since <1893> the children <3813> share <2841> in flesh <4561> and <2532> blood <129>, he <846> likewise <3898> shared in <3348> their <846> humanity <3348>, so that <2443> through <1223> death <2288> he could destroy <2673> the one who holds <2192> the power <2904> of death <2288> (that <5124> is <1510>, the devil <1228>),
15and <2532> set free <525> those <5128> who were <1510> held in slavery <1397> all <3956> their lives <2198> by <1223> their fear <5401> of death <2288>.
16For <1063> surely <1222> his concern <1949> is not <3756> for angels <32>, but <235> he is concerned <1949> for Abraham’s <11> descendants <4690>.
17Therefore <3606> he had <3784> to be made like <3666> his brothers and sisters <80> in <2596> every respect <3956>, so that <2443> he could become <1096> a merciful <1655> and <2532> faithful <4103> high priest <749> in things relating to <4314> God <2316>, to <1519> make atonement <2433> for the sins <266> of the people <2992>.
18For <1063> since he <3958> himself suffered <3958> when <3985> he <846> was tempted <3985>, he is able <1410> to help <997> those who are tempted <3985>.
