Hebrews 2 : King James Version

2 1Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed
to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let
them slip. 2For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast,
and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence
of reward; 3How 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; 4God also
bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers
miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?
5For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the
world to come, whereof we speak. 6But 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? 7Thou 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: 8Thou
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. 9But
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. 10For 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. 11For both he that
sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which
cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, 12Saying,
I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church
will I sing praise unto thee. 13And again, I will put my
trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath
given me. 14Forasmuch 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; 15And deliver them who through fear
of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16For
verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him
the seed of Abraham. 17Wherefore 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. 18For in that
he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them
that are tempted.
