Hebrews 2:1-9 ▼

1 Therefore it behooves us the more earnestly to give heed to the things which we have heard, lest at some time we may leak out.

2 For if the word having been spoken by angels was stedfast, and every disobedience and transgression received a just recompense of reward;

3 how shall we escape, having neglected so great a salvation? which having received the beginning to be spoken by the Lord, was confirmed unto us by those who heard it;

4 God at the same time witnessing, by signs and indeed by wonders, and various dynamites, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his will.

5 For he did not submit the world to come, concerning which we speak, to angels.

6 But somewhere one testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? Or the Son of man, that thou visitest him?

7 Thou didst humiliate him somewhat comparatively with the angels; thou didst crown him with glory and honor;

8 thou didst subordinate all things beneath his feet. For in subordinating all things beneath him, he left nothing which is not subordinated beneath him.

9 But we see Jesus humiliated somewhat in comparison with the angels, having been crowned with glory and honor on account of the suffering of death, in order that by the grace of God he might taste death for every one.
