Hebrews 2:1-9 ▼

1 Because of this it is more abundantly necessary to take heed to the things heard, lest we may drift away,

2 for if the word being spoken through messengers became steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just repayment,

3 how will we escape, having neglected such great salvation? Which having received [that] spoken through the LORD [from] the beginning, was confirmed to us by those having heard,

4 God also bearing joint-witness both with signs and wonders, and manifold powers, and distributions of the Holy Spirit, according to His will.

5 For He did not subject the coming world to messengers, concerning which we speak,

6 and one in a certain place testified fully, saying, “What is man, that You are mindful of him, || Or a son of man, that You look after him?

7 You made him [a] little less than messengers, || You crowned him with glory and honor, || And set him over the works of Your hands,

8 You put all things in subjection under his feet,” for in the subjecting to Him all things, He left nothing to Him unsubjected, but now we do not yet see all things subjected to Him,

9 and we see Him who was made [a] little less than messengers—Jesus—because of the suffering of death, having been crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God He might taste of death for everyone.
