Hebrews 2
1¶ Therefore, it is necessary that we with more diligence keep the things which we have heard, so that we do not fall.
2For if the word spoken by the ministry of angels was steadfast and every rebellion and disobedience received a just recompense of reward,
3how shall we escape, if we belittle such great saving health? Which, having begun to be published by the Lord, has been confirmed unto us by those that heard him,
4God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders and with diverse miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit, distributing them according to his own will.
5¶ For unto the angels he has not subjected the world to come, of which we speak.
6But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou dost visit him?
7Thou didst make him a little lower than the angels; thou didst crown him with glory and honour and didst set him over the works of thy hands.
8Thou hast 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 do not see yet that all things are put under him.
9But we see this same Jesus, crowned with glory and honour, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
10¶ For it was expedient that he, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, preparing to bring forth many sons in his glory, should perfect the author of their saving health through sufferings.
11For both he that sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all of one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
12saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren; in the midst of the congregation I will praise thee.
13And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God has given me.
14¶ 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 empire of death, that is, the devil,
15and deliver those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to slavery.
16For verily he did not take the angels, but he took the seed of Abraham.
17Therefore in all things he should be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people.
18For in that he himself has suffered and was tempted, he is also powerful to help those that are tempted.

Hebrews 2
2
Warning against Neglect
1We must, therefore, pay even more attention to what we have heard, so that we will not drift away. # Jos 24:27; Mc 5:13; 1Co 9:27; 10:6; 11:34; Ti 3:14 2For if the message spoken through angels was legally binding # Or valid, or reliable # Dt 33:2; Ac 7:53; Heb 1:1 and every transgression and disobedience received a just punishment, # Nm 15:30; Heb 10:28 3how will we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? # Is 45:17 It was first spoken by the Lord and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him. # Lk 1:2; Heb 1:2; 10:29 4At the same time, God also testified by signs and wonders, various miracles, and distributions of gifts from the Holy Spirit according to His will. # Jn 4:48; Ac 2:22,43; 5:12; 8:13; 14:3; 15:12; Rm 12:3-8; 15:19; 1Co 12:4; 2Co 12:12; Eph 1:5; 4:8
Jesus and Humanity
5For He has not subjected to angels the world to come that we are talking about. 6But one has somewhere testified:
What is man that You remember him,
or the son of man that You care for him?
7You made him lower than the angels
for a short time;
You crowned him with glory and honor # Other mss add and set him over the works of your hands
8and subjected everything under his feet. # Ps 8:5-7 LXX
For in subjecting everything to him, He left nothing that is not subject to him. As it is, we do not yet see everything subjected to him. # Jb 7:17; Ps 8:4-6; Mt 22:44; Ac 2:35; 1Co 15:25-27; Eph 1:22; Heb 10:13 9But we do see Jesus — made lower than the angels for a short time so that by God’s grace He might taste death # Jn 8:52; 1Co 15:54-56; Php 2:8; Col 1:22; Heb 9:15; 1Pt 3:18 for everyone — crowned with glory and honor # Ac 2:33; 3:13 because of His suffering in death. # Jn 3:16; 2Co 5:15; Php 2:9
10For in bringing many sons to glory, it was entirely appropriate that God — all things exist for Him and through Him — should make the source # Or pioneer, or leader of their salvation perfect through sufferings. # Lk 13:32; 24:26; Rm 11:36; Heb 7:28 11For the One who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one Father. # Or father, or origin, or all are of one That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers, # Mt 28:10; Jn 20:17; Ac 17:28; Heb 10:10 12saying:
I will proclaim Your name to My brothers;
I will sing hymns to You in the congregation. # Ps 22:22; Heb 12:23 # Ps 22:22
13Again, I will trust in Him. # 2Sm 22:3 LXX; Is 8:17 LXX; 12:2 LXX And again, Here I am with the children God gave Me. # Ps 18:2; Is 8:17-18; 12:2; Jn 10:29; 17:6 # Is 8:18 LXX
14Now since the children have flesh and blood in common, Jesus also shared in these, so that through His death He might destroy the one holding the power of death — that is, the Devil # Jn 1:14; 1Co 15:54-56; Col 2:15; 2Tm 1:10; 1Jn 3:8 — 15and free those who were held in slavery all their lives by the fear of death. # Rm 8:15; 2Tm 1:7 16For it is clear that He does not reach out to help angels, but to help Abraham’s offspring. # Lk 19:9; Jn 8:39; Rm 4:16; Gl 3:7-9,29 17Therefore, He had to be like His brothers in every way, so that He could become a merciful and faithful high priest in service # Lit things to God, to make propitiation # 2Co 5:21 for the sins of the people. # Lk 18:13; Rm 3:25; Php 2:7; Heb 4:15; 5:1-2; 7:26-28; 1Jn 2:2; 4:10 18For since He Himself was tested and has suffered, He is able to help those who are tested.
