[1] Therefore we ought to pay greater attention to the things that were heard, lest perhaps we drift away. [2] For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just penalty, [3] how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation—which at the first having been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard, [4] God also testifying with them, both by signs and wonders, by various works of power, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will? [5] For he didn’t subject the world to come, of which we speak, to angels. [6] But one has somewhere testified, saying,
“What is man, that you think of him?
Or the son of man, that you care for him?
[7] You made him a little lower than the angels.
You crowned him with glory and honor.‡
[8] You have put all things in subjection under his feet.”†For in that he subjected all things to him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we don’t yet see all things subjected to him. [9] But we see him who has been made a little lower than the angels, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for everyone. [10] For it became him, for whom are all things and through whom are all things, in bringing many children to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings. [11] For both he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brothers,§ [12] saying,
“I will declare your name to my brothers.
Among the congregation I will sing your praise.”† [13] Again, “I will put my trust in him.” Again, “Behold, here I am with the children whom God has given me.”† [14] Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in the same way partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, [15] and might deliver all of them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. [16] For most certainly, he doesn’t give help to angels, but he gives help to the offspring§ of Abraham. [17] Therefore he was obligated in all things to be made like his brothers, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people. [18] For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

King James Version
[1] ThereforeG1223 weG2248 oughtG1163(PresInd) to give the more earnestG4056 heedG4337(PresActInf) to the things which we have heard,G191(AorPasPtc) lest at any timeG3379 we should let [them] slip.G3901(Aor2ActSubj) [2] ForG1063 ifG1487 the wordG3056 spokenG2980(AorPasPtc) byG1223 angelsG32 wasG1096(Aor2MidDepInd) stedfast,G949 andG2532 everyG3956 transgressionG3847 andG2532 disobedienceG3876 receivedG2983(Aor2ActInd) a justG1738 recompence of reward;G3405 [3] HowG4459 shall weG2249 escape,G1628(FutMidDepInd) if we neglectG272(AorActPtc) so greatG5082 salvation;G4991 whichG3748 at the firstG746 beganG2983(Aor2ActPtc) to be spokenG2980(PresPasInf) byG1223 the Lord,G2962 and was confirmedG950(AorPasInd) untoG1519 usG2248 byG5259 them that heardG191(AorActPtc) [him]; [4] GodG2316 also bearing [them] witness,G4901(PresActPtc) bothG5037 with signsG4592 andG2532 wonders,G5059 andG2532 with diversG4164 miracles,G1411 andG2532 giftsG3311 of the HolyG40 Ghost,G4151 according toG2596 his ownG846 will?G2308 [5] ForG1063 unto the angelsG32 hath heG5293 notG3756 put in subjectionG5293(AorActInd) the worldG3625 to come,G3195(PresActPtc) whereofG4012 we speak.G2980(PresActInd) [6] ButG1161 oneG5100 in a certain placeG4225 testified,G1263(AorMidDepInd) saying,G3004(PresActPtc) WhatG5101 isG2076(PresInd) man,G444 thatG3754 thou art mindfulG3403(PresMidPasDepInd) of him?G846 orG2228 the sonG5207 of man,G444 thatG3754 thou visitestG1980(PresMidPasDepInd) him?G846 [7] Thou madestG1642 himG846 a littleG1024 lowerG1642(AorActInd) thanG3844 the angels;G32 thou crownedstG4737(AorActInd) himG846 with gloryG1391 andG2532 honour,G5092 andG2532 didst setG2525(AorActInd) himG846 overG1909 the worksG2041 of thyG4675 hands:G5495 [8] Thou hast putG5293 all thingsG3956 in subjectionG5293(AorActInd) underG5270 hisG846 feet.G4228 ForG1063 inG1722 that he putG5293 allG3956 in subjection underG5293(AorActInf) him,G846 he leftG863(AorActInd) nothing [that is] notG3762 put underG506 him.G846 ButG1161 nowG3568 we seeG3708(PresActInd) not yetG3768 all thingsG3956 put underG5293(PerfPasPtc) him.G846 [9] ButG1161 we seeG991(PresActInd) Jesus,G2424 whoG3588 was madeG1642 a littleG1024 lowerG1642(PerfPasPtc) thanG3844 the angelsG32 forG1223 the sufferingG3804 of death,G2288 crownedG4737(PerfPasPtc) with gloryG1391 andG2532 honour;G5092 thatG3704 heG1089 by the graceG5485 of GodG2316 should tasteG1089(AorMidDepSubj) deathG2288 forG5228 every man.G3956 [10] ForG1063 it becameG4241(ImpfActInd) him,G846 forG1223 whomG3739 [are] all things,G3956 andG2532 byG1223 whomG3739 [are] all things,G3956 in bringingG71(Aor2ActPtc) manyG4183 sonsG5207 untoG1519 glory,G1391 to makeG5048 the captainG747 of theirG846 salvationG4991 perfectG5048(AorActInf) throughG1223 sufferings.G3804 [11] ForG1063 bothG5037 he that sanctifiethG37(PresActPtc) andG2532 they who are sanctifiedG37(PresPasPtc) [are] allG3956 ofG1537 one:G1520 forG1223 whichG3739 causeG156 he isG1870 notG3756 ashamedG1870(PresMidPasDepInd) to callG2564(PresActInf) themG846 brethren,G80 [12] Saying,G3004(PresActPtc) I will declareG518(FutActInd) thyG4675 nameG3686 unto myG3450 brethren,G80 inG1722 the midstG3319 of the churchG1577 will I sing praiseG5214(FutActInd) unto thee.G4571 [13] AndG2532 again,G3825 IG1473 willG2071(FutInd) put my trustG3982(Perf2ActPtc) inG1909 him.G846 AndG2532 again,G3825 BeholdG2400(Aor2ActImpr) IG1473 andG2532 the childrenG3813 whichG3739 GodG2316 hath givenG1325(AorActInd) me.G3427 [14] ForasmuchG1893 thenG3767 as the childrenG3813 are partakersG2841(PerfActInd) of fleshG4561 andG2532 blood,G129 heG3348 alsoG2532 himselfG846 likewiseG3898 took partG3348(Aor2ActInd) of the same;G846 thatG2443 throughG1223 deathG2288 he might destroyG2673(AorActSubj) him that hadG2192(PresActPtc) the powerG2904 of death,G2288 that is,G5123(PresInd) the devil;G1228 [15] AndG2532 deliverG525(AorActSubj) themG5128 whoG3745 throughG1223 fearG5401 of deathG2288 wereG2258(ImpfInd) allG3956 their lifetimeG2198(PresActInf) subjectG1777 to bondage.G1397 [16] ForG1063 verilyG1222 he tookG1949 notG3756 onG1949(PresMidPasDepInd) [him the nature of] angels;G32 butG235 he took onG1949(PresMidPasDepInd) [him] the seedG4690 of Abraham.G11 [17] WhereforeG3606 inG2596 all thingsG3956 it behoved himG3784(ImpfActInd) to be made likeG3666(AorPasInf) unto [his] brethren,G80 thatG2443 he might beG1096(Aor2MidDepSubj) a mercifulG1655 andG2532 faithfulG4103 high priestG749 in things [pertaining] toG4314 God,G2316 toG1519 make reconciliation forG2433(PresPasInf) the sinsG266 of the people.G2992 [18] ForG1063 inG1722 thatG3739 heG3958 himselfG846 hath sufferedG3958(Perf2ActInd) being tempted,G3985(AorPasPtc) he is ableG1410(PresMidPasDepInd) to succourG997(AorActInf) them that are tempted.G3985(PresPasPtc)
