*God, who at sundry times and ain divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath bin these last days cspoken unto us by dhis Son, whom he hath eappointed fheir of all things, gby whom also he made hthe worlds; 3 Who being ithe brightness jof his glory, and kthe express image of his person, and lupholding all things by the word of his power, mwhen he had by himself purged our sins, nsat down oon the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained pa more excellent name than they. 5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, qThou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, rI will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? 6 And ||sagain, twhen he bringeth in uthe firstbegotten into vthe world, he saith, wAnd let all the angels of God worship him. 7 And †xof the angels he saith, yWho maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. 8 But unto dthe Son he saith, zThy throne, O God, is afor ever and ever: a sceptre of †righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. 9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, bhath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. 10 And, cThou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: 11 dThey shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall ewax old as doth a garment; 12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art ethe same, and thy years shall not fail. 13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, fSit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? 14 Are they not all gministering spirits, hsent forth to minister for them who shall be iheirs of salvation?

2 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should †let them slip. 2 For if the word aspoken by angels was stedfast, and bevery transgression and disobedience received a just crecompence of reward; 3 dHow shall we escape, if we neglect so great esalvation; which fat the first began to be spoken by gthe Lord, and was gconfirmed unto us hby them that heard him; 4 God also bearing them witness, both with gisigns and iwonders, and with divers klmiracles, and ||kgifts of the Holy Ghost, maccording to his own will?

5 For nunto the angels hath he not put in subjection othe world to come, whereof we speak. 6 But pone in a certain place qtestified, saying, rWhat is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him? 7 Thou madest him ||a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: 8 sThou 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 tnow we see not yet all things put under him. 9 But we see Jesus, uvwho was made a little lower than the angels ||vwfor the suffering of death, ucrowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should xtaste death yfor every man. 10 zFor it became him, afor whom are all things, and bby whom are all things, in bringing cmany sons unto glory, to make dthe captain of their salvation eperfect through sufferings.
