2:1  Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it.
2:2  For if the message spoken through angels became firmly established and every transgression and disobedience received a just penalty,
2:3  how will we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? Which at first was declared by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard,
2:4  while God supported their testimony · by signs and wonders and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to · his will.
2:5  Now it was not to angels that God subjected the world · to come, about which we are speaking.
2:6  But someone has testified somewhere, “What is man that you take thought for him, or the son of man, that you care for him?
2:7  You made him for a little while lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and honor,
2:8  You put everything in subjection under · his feet.” Now in putting everything in subjection to him, · he left nothing outside his control. But in fact we do not yet see everything under his · control.
2:9  But we do see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor.
2:10  For it was appropriate that God, for whom · and through whom · all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the champion of their salvation perfect through suffering.
2:11  For the one who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all of one origin. That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers,
2:12  when he says, “I will proclaim · your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise.”
2:13  And again, “I will put my trust in him.” And again, “Here I am and the children whom God has given me.” ·
2:14  Therefore since the children share in blood and flesh, he himself also, in the same way, shared the same things so that by his death he might destroy the one who holds the power of death (that is, the devil),
2:15  and liberate those who through all their life were held in slavery by their fear of death.
2:16  For surely he does not reach out to help angels, but he reaches out to help the seed of Abraham.
2:17  Therefore he was obligated to become like his brothers in every respect, so that he could become a merciful and faithful high priest · in the service of · God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.
2:18  For because he himself suffered when tempted, he is able to come to the aid of those who are being tempted.
