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

3how 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,

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

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

8You 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.

9But 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.

10For 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.

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

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

14Since 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,

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

17Therefore 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.
