1 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 utterance spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;
3 How shall we escape, if we neglect such a great salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord and was confirmed into us by those who heard Him,
4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders and with various miracles and gifts of the Holy Ghost according to His Own will?
5 For He has not put the world to come in subjection to the angels, of which we speak.
6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, "What is man, that You are mindful of him? Or the Mature Son of man, that you visit Him?
7 You made Him a little lower than the angels; You crowned Him with glory and honor, and did set Him over the works of Your Hands:
8 You 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 don't  yet see all things put under Him.
9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that He by the divine power for righteousness, holiness, and redemption of God should taste death for every man.
10 For it became Him, for Whom are all things, and by Whom are all things, in bringing many mature sons into glory, to make the Captain of their salvation complete through sufferings.
11 For both He Who sanctifies and they who are sanctified are all of one; for this reason He is not ashamed to call them brothers,
12 Saying, I will declare Your Name to my brothers, in the midst of the church I will sing praise to You.
13 And again, I will put My trust in Him. And again, Look, I and the children which God has given Me.
14 For as much, then, as the children have come Into fellowship with flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same so that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil;
15 And deliver thos who, through fear of death, were subject to bondage all their lifetime.
16 For truly He did not take on Himself the nature of angels, but He took on Himself the seed of Abraham.
17 Therefore in all things it behooved Him to be made like His brothers to become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation to God and appeasement of the wrath of God for the sins of the people.
18 For, in that He Himself has suffered and been tempted, He is able to help those who are tempted.
