Hebrews 2:1-9 ▼

1 For this ought we to hold above measure to the things heard, lest we slip away.

2 For if the word spoken by angels was firm, and every transgression and bad instruction received the just payment of reward;

3 How shall we escape, having neglected such great salvation; which at the beginning taken to be spoken by the Lord, by them having heard was made firm to us;

4 God confirming the testimony, together with signs and wonders, and various powers, and partitions of the Holy Spirit, according to his will.

5 For not to the angels has he subjected the habitable globe about to be, of which we speak.

6 And somewhere a certain one testified, saying, What is man, that thou rememberest him? or the son of man, that thou reviewest him?

7 Thou didst render him some little while less than angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst place him over the work of thine hands:

8 All things didst thou place under his feet. For in placing all things under him, thou didst leave nothing not subjected to him. And now we see not yet all things placed under him.

9 But we see Jesus, made some little while less than angels by the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; so that by the grace of God he should taste of death for all.
