1 Because of this, it is necessary for us to give heed more abundantly to the things having been heard, lest ever we should drift away. VP
2 For if the word having been spoken by angels was firm, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense, VP
3 how will we escape, having neglected such a great salvation, which, having received a beginning to be spoken by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those having heard, VP
4 God testifying with [them] both by signs and wonders, and by various miracles, and distributions of [the] Holy Spirit according to His will. VP
5 For not to angels did He subject the world that is about to be, concerning which we are speaking, VP
6 but someone somewhere solemnly testified, saying, “What is man that You are mindful of him, or [the] son of man that You care for him? VP
7 You made him a little less than [the] angels; You crowned him with glory and honor; VP
8 You subjected all things under his feet.” For in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing unsubject to him. But now, not yet do we see all things having been subjected to him. VP
9 But the One having been made a little less than [the] angels we see—Jesus—because of the suffering of death, having been crowned with glory and with honor, so that by [the] grace of God He might taste death for everyone. VP
10 For it was fitting to Him, for whom [are] all things and through whom [are] all things, having brought many sons to glory, to make perfect the author of their salvation through sufferings. VP
11 For both the [One] sanctifying and those being sanctified [are] all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brothers, VP
12 saying: “I will declare Your name to My brothers; in [the] midst of [the] assembly I will sing Your praises.” VP
13 And again: “I will be trusting on Him.” And again: “Behold, I and the children whom God gave to Me.” VP
14 Therefore, since the children have shared in blood and flesh, He also likewise partook of the same things, so that through death He might render powerless the [one] having the power of death, that is, the devil, VP
15 and might set free those who all [their time] to live were subject to slavery through [the] fear of death. VP
16 For surely [it is] not [the] angels He lays hold of, but He lays hold of [the] seed of Abraham. VP
17 Hence it was necessary to be made like the brothers in all things, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest [in] the things relating to God, in order to make propitiation for the sins of the people. VP
18 For in that He Himself has suffered, having been tempted, He is able to help those being tempted. VP
