[Hebrews 2]

 

             ^2:1 Because of this, it is essential for us to take-heed even-more to the things which were heard, lest we might drift-away. ^2:2 For^* if the word which was spoken through the messengers became steadfast and every transgression and disobedience^* received a just reward, ^2:3 how will we flee away, after we neglected so-great a salvation, which we received at the beginning, a salvation being spoken through the Lord and it was confirmed to us by the ones who heard it? ^2:4 God was testifying together-with them, both with signs and with wonders and with various powers and with distributions of the Holy Spirit, according-to his own will.

 

             ^2:5 For^* he did not subject the future inhabited-earth to messengers, concerning what we are speaking. ^2:6 But some writer thoroughly testified somewhere, saying, ‘What is man, that you remember him? Or the son of man, that you visit him? ^2:7 You made him a bit of something inferior less than the messengers. You crowned him with glory and honor. ^{T} And stood him over the works of your hands. ^2:8 You subjected all things underneath his feet.’ {Psa 8:4-6} For^* while^* he was subjecting all things to him, he left nothing which is not subject to him. But we now do not yet see all things which have been subjected to him. ^2:9 But we see Jesus who has been made a bit of something inferior, less than the messengers, after he has been crowned with glory and honor, because of the suffering of the death he underwent,^*that in the grace from God, he should taste of death on behalf of everyone. ^2:10 For^* it was suitable for him, because of whom are all things and through whom are all things, after he led many sons to glory, to complete the author of their salvation through sufferings. ^2:11 For^* both the one making him holy and the ones being made holy are all from one. Because of which case, he is not ashamed to call them brethren, ^2:12 saying, ‘I will be proclaiming your name to my brethren, in the midst of the congregation^* I will be singing hymns to you.’ ^2:13 And again, ‘I will have confidence in him.’ And again, ‘Behold, here I am and the children whom God gave me.’ {Psa 22:22, Psa 18:2, 2Sam. 22. 3, Isa 8:17-18}

               ^2:14 Therefore, since the children have shared of flesh and blood, he himself partook of the same things in like-manner, in-order-that through death, he might do-away-with the one who has the dominion of death (this is the devil) ^2:15 and he might set-free these, as many as were in fear of death, who were liable to bondage throughout all of their time to live. ^2:16 For^* surely he is not helping messengers, but he is helping the seed of Abraham. ^2:17 Hence he was obligated to be similar to the brethren according-to all things, in-order-that he might become a merciful and faithful high-priest in the things pertaining to God, ^*that^* he should make atonement for the sins of the people. ^2:18 For^* in what he himself has suffered, in what he has been tempted, he is able to help with the ones being tempted.
