New Testament

Hebrews 2:2-10 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

2. For if the word spoken through angels was binding and every transgression and act of disobedience received a just penalty,

3. how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation which had its beginning when it was spoken through the Lord and was confirmed to us by those who heard,

4. while God was testifying at the same time by signs and wonders and various miracles and distributions of the Holy Spirit according to his will.

5. For he did not subject to angels the world to come, about which we are speaking.

6. But someone testified somewhere, saying, “What is man, that you remember him, or the son of man, that you care for him?

7. You made him for a short time lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and honor;

8. you subjected all things under his feet. For in subjecting all things, he left nothing that was not subject to him. But now we do not yet see all things subjected to him,

9. but we see Jesus, for a short time made lower than the angels, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, so that apart from God he might taste death on behalf of everyone.

10. For it was fitting for him for whom are all things and through whom are all things in bringing many sons to glory to perfect the originator of their salvation through sufferings.
