| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1We must pay closer attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2For if the message spoken by angels was binding, and every transgression and disobedience received its just punishment, |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? This salvation was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard Him, |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4and was affirmed by God through signs, wonders, various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to His will. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5For it is not to angels that He has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6But somewhere it is testified in these words: “What is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him? |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8and placed everything under his feet.” When God subjected all things to him, He left nothing outside of his control. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to him. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because He suffered death, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting for God, for whom and through whom all things exist, to make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11For both the One who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12He says: “I will proclaim Your name to My brothers; I will sing Your praises in the assembly.” |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13And again: “I will put My trust in Him.” And once again: “Here am I, and the children God has given Me.” |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Now since the children have flesh and blood, He too shared in their humanity, so that by His death He might destroy him who holds the power of death, that is, the devil, |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16For surely it is not the angels He helps, but the descendants of Abraham. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17For this reason He had to be made like His brothers in every way, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, in order to make atonement for the sins of the people. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Because He Himself suffered when He was tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted. |
