| [1]Therefore we ought to be exceedingly cautious, in regard to what we have heard, lest we fall away. |
[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 word uttered by the medium of angels was confirmed, and every one who heard it, and transgressed it, received a just retribution; |
[2]For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward; |
| [3]how shall we escape, if we despise the things which are our life, things which began to be spoken by our Lord, and were confirmed to us by them who heard from him, |
[3]How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by them that heard him; |
| [4]while God gave testimony concerning them, by signs and wonders, and by various miracles and distributions of the Holy Spirit, which were given according to his pleasure? |
[4]God also bearing them testimony, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will? |
| [5]For to the angels he hath not subjected the world to come, of which we speak. |
[5]For to the angels he hath not put in subjection the world to come, concerning which we speak. |
| [6]But as the scripture testifieth, and saith: What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou attendest to him? |
[6]But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him? |
| [7]Thou hast depressed him somewhat lower than the angels: glory and honor hast thou put on his head; and thou hast invested him with authority over the work of thy hand. |
[7]Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honor, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: |
| [8]And all things hast thou subjected under his feet. And in this subjecting of all things to him, he omitted nothing, which he did not subject. But now, we do not yet see all things subjected to him. |
[8]Thou 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 made subject to him. But now we see not yet all things subjected to him. |
| [9]But we see him, who was depressed somewhat lower than the angels, to be this Jesus, because of the passion of his death; and glory and honor are placed on his head; for God himself, in his grace, ⓘ tasted death for all men. |
[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 grace of God should taste death for every man. |
| [10]For it became him, by whom are all things, and on account of whom are all things, and [who] bringeth many sons unto his glory, to perfect the prince of their life by suffering. |
[10]For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the Captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. |
| [11]For he that sanctifieth, and they who are sanctified, are all of one [nature]. Therefore he is not ashamed to call them brethren; |
[11]For both he that sanctifieth, and they who are sanctified, are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, |
| [12]as he saith, I will announce thy name to my brethren; in the midst of the assembly, I will praise thee. |
[12]Saying, I will declare thy name to my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise to thee. |
| [13]And again, I will confide in him. And again, Behold me, and the children whom thou, God, hast given to me. |
[13]And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold, I, and the children which God hath given me. |
| [14]For because the children participated in flesh and blood, he also, in like manner, took part in the same; that, by his death, he might bring to naught him who held the dominion of death, namely Satan; |
[14]Since then 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; |
| [15]and might release them, who, through fear of death, are all their lives subject to bondage. |
[15]And deliver them, who, through fear of death, were all their life-time subject to bondage. |
| [16]For he did not assume [a nature] from angels, but he assumed [a nature] from the seed of Abraham. |
[16]For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. |
| [17]Wherefore it was right, that he should be in all respects like his brethren; that he might be merciful, and a high priest faithful in the things of God, and might make expiation for the sins of the people. |
[17]Wherefore in all things it behooved him to be made like his brethren; that he might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. |
| [18]For, in that he himself hath suffered, and been tempted, he is able to succor them who are tempted. |
[18]For in that he himself hath suffered, being tempted, he is able to succor them that are tempted. |
