Hebrews 2

1 Therefore we ought to pay greater attention to the things that were heard, lest perhaps we drift away.

Therefore we ought to give the more earn heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

2 For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just penalty,

For if the word (logos) spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;

3 how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation—which at the first having been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard,

How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;

4 God also testifying with them, both by signs and wonders, by various works of power, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will?

God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) according to his own will?

5 For he didn’t subject the world to come, of which we speak, to angels.

For unto the angels has he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.

6 But one has somewhere testified, saying, “What is man, that you think of him? Or the son of man, that you care for him?

But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that you are mindful of him? or the son of man that you visit him?

7 You made him a little lower than the angels. You crowned him with glory and honor.

You made him a little lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and honour, and did set him over the works of your hands:

8 You have put all things in subjection under his feet.” For in that he subjected all things to him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we don’t yet see all things subjected to him.

You have put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put 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 him who has been made a little lower than the angels, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for everyone.

But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

10 For it became him, for whom are all things and through whom are all things, in bringing many children to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

11 For both he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brothers,

For both he that santifies and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

12 saying, “I will declare your name to my brothers. Among the congregation I will sing your praise.”

Saying, I will declare your name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto you.

13 Again, “I will put my trust in him.” Again, “Behold, here I am with the children whom God has given me.”

And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God has given me.

14 Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in the same way partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,

Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

15 and might deliver all of them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

16 For most certainly, he doesn’t give help to angels, but he gives help to the offspring of Abraham.

For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.

17 Therefore he was obligated in all things to be made like his brothers, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people.

Wherefore in all things it was essential for 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.

18 For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help them that are tempted.
