Hebrews 2:1–9

Give Heed

1 For this reason we must pay much closer attention to 1what we have heard, so that awe do not drift away from it.

2 For if the word aspoken through bangels proved 1unalterable, and cevery transgression and disobedience received a just 2dpenalty,

3 ahow will we escape if we neglect so great a bsalvation? 1After it was at the first cspoken through the Lord, it was dconfirmed to us by those who heard,

4 God also testifying with them, both by asigns and wonders and by bvarious 1miracles and by 2cgifts of the Holy Spirit daccording to His own will.

Earth Subject to Man

5 For He did not subject to angels 1athe world to come, concerning which we are speaking.

6 But one has testified asomewhere, saying,

“bWhat is man, that You remember him?

Or the son of man, that You are concerned about him?

7 “aYou have made him 1for a little while lower than the angels;

You have crowned him with glory and honor,

2And have appointed him over the works of Your hands;

8 aYou have put all things in subjection under his feet.”

For in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing that is not subject to him. But now bwe do not yet see all things subjected to him.

Jesus Briefly Humbled

9 But we do see Him who was amade 1for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, bbecause of the suffering of death ccrowned with glory and honor, so that dby the grace of God He might etaste death ffor everyone.
