1Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let [them] slip. 2For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence (punishment for evil, reward) of reward; 3How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord - Kurios, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard [him]; 4God-The Father also bearing [them] witness, both with signs and wonders, and with different miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit [Ruach HaKodesh], according to his own will?

5For unto the angels has he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.

6But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that youⁱ are mindful of him? or the Son of Man, that youⁱ visit him?

7youⁱ made him a little lower than the angels; youⁱ crowned him with glory and honour, and did set him over the works of yourⁱ hands:

8youⁱ 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.

9But we see Yeshua [God is Salvation], 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-The Father should taste death for every man.

10For it became him (was fitting for; was exactly suited for), 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. 11For both he that sanctifies and they who are sanctified [are] all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

12Saying, I will declare yourⁱ name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto youⁱ.

13And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God-The Father has given me.

14Forasmuch 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; 15And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16For truly he took not on [him the nature of] angels; but he took on [him] the seed of Avraham [Exalted Father]. 17For what reason in all things it behoved him to be made like unto [his] brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things [pertaining] to God-The Father, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. 18For in that he himself has suffered being tried or tested, he is able to help (aid) them that are tried or tested.
