**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 spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; **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 unto us by them that heard *him*; **4 **God also bearing *them* witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?

**5 **For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.

**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 madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:

**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 put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.

**9 **But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

**10 **For it became him, for whom *are* all things, and by whom *are* all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. **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 **Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.

**13 **And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.

**14 **Forasmuch then as 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 deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. **16 **For verily he took not on *him the nature of* angels; but he took on *him* the seed of Abraham. **17 **Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto *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 being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
