[1] Therefore ought heed to the things which we have heard, we should let them slip. [2] For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; [3] How escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto by them that heard [4] God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will? [5] For unto the angels not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak. [6] But one in a certain place testified, saying, What man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him? [7] him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works hands: [8] all things in subjection under his feet. For in 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. [9] But we see Jesus, who a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that by the grace of God should taste death for every man. [10] For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. [11] For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause not ashamed to call them brethren, [12] Saying, I will declare name brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise [13] And again, I put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given [14] Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, the devil; [15] And deliver who through fear of death all their lifetime subject to bondage. [16] For not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. [17] Wherefore 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.
