2:1 Therefore
we
must
pay
much
closer
attention
to
what
we
have
heard,
lest
we
drift
away
from
it.
2:2 For
since
the
message
declared
by
angels
proved
to
be
reliable,
and
every
transgression
or
disobedience
received
a
just
retribution,
2:3 how
shall
we
escape
if
we
neglect
such
a
great
salvation
It
was
declared
at
first
by
the
Lord,
and
it
was
attested
to
us
by
those
who
heard,
2:4 while
God
also
bore
witness
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,
of
which
we
are
speaking.
2:6 It
has
been
testified
somewhere,
"What
is
man,
that
you
are
mindful
of
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
have
crowned
him
with
glory
and
honor,
2:8 putting
everything
in
subjection
under
his
feet."
Now
in
putting
everything
in
subjection
to
him,
he
left
nothing
outside
his
control.
At
present,
we
do
not
yet
see
everything
in
subjection
to
him.
2:9 But
we
see
him
who
for
a
little
while
was
made
lower
than
the
angels,
namely
Jesus,
crowned
with
glory
and
honor
because
of
the
suffering
of
death,
so
that
by
the
grace
of
God
he
might
taste
death
for
everyone.
2:10 For
it
was
fitting
that
he,
for
whom
and
by
whom
all
things
exist,
in
bringing
many
sons
to
glory,
should
make
the
founder
of
their
salvation
perfect
through
suffering.
2:11 For
he
who
sanctifies
and
those
who
are
sanctified
all
have
one
source.
That
is
why
he
is
not
ashamed
to
call
them
brothers,
2:12 saying,
"I
will
tell
of
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,
"Behold,
I
and
the
children
God
has
given
me."
2:14 Since
therefore
the
children
share
in
flesh
and
blood,
he
himself
likewise
partook
of
the
same
things,
that
through
death
he
might
destroy
the
one
who
has
the
power
of
death,
that
is,
the
devil,
2:15 and
deliver
all
those
who
through
fear
of
death
were
subject
to
lifelong
slavery.
2:16 For
surely
it
is
not
angels
that
he
helps,
but
he
helps
the
offspring
of
Abraham.
2:17 Therefore
he
had
to
be
made
like
his
brothers
in
every
respect,
so
that
he
might
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
has
suffered
when
tempted,
he
is
able
to
help
those
who
are
being
tempted.
