Hebrews 2 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Pay Attention

1 For this ^G3778 reason ^G1223 we must ^G1163 pay ^G4337 much ^G4056 closer ^G4056 attention ^G4337 to [fn]what we have heard ^G191, so ^G3379 that ^G3379 we do not ^G3379 drift ^G3901 away ^G3901 from it.

2 For if ^G1487 the word ^G3056 spoken ^G2980 through ^G1223 angels ^G32 proved ^G1096 [fn]unalterable ^G949, and every ^G3956 violation ^G3847 and act ^G3876 of ^G3876 disobedience ^G3876 received ^G2983 a just ^G1738 [fn]punishment ^G3405, 3 how ^G4459 will we escape ^G1628 if we neglect ^G272 so ^G5082 great ^G5082 a salvation ^G4991? [fn]After it was at first ^G746 spoken ^G2980 through ^G1223 the Lord ^G2962, it was confirmed ^G950 to us by those ^G3588 who heard ^G191, 4 God ^G2316 also testifying ^G3140 with them, both ^G5037 by signs ^G4592 and wonders ^G5059, and by various ^G4164 [fn]miracles ^G1411 and by [fn]gifts ^G3311 of the Holy ^G40 Spirit ^G4151 according ^G2596 to His own will ^G2308.

Earth Subject to Man

5 For He did not subject ^G5293 to angels ^G32 [fn]the world ^G3625 to ^G3195 come ^G3195, about ^G4012 which ^G3739 we are speaking ^G2980.

6 But someone ^G5100 has testified ^G1263 somewhere ^G4225, saying ^G3004,

“WHAT ^G5101 IS MAN ^G444, THAT YOU THINK ^G3403 OF HIM?

OR ^G2228 A SON ^G5207 OF MAN ^G444, THAT YOU ARE ^G1980 CONCERNED ^G1980 ABOUT ^G1980 HIM?

7 “YOU HAVE MADE ^G1642 HIM [fn]FOR A LITTLE ^G1024 WHILE ^G1024 LOWER ^G1642 THAN ^G3844 ANGELS ^G32;

YOU HAVE CROWNED ^G4737 HIM WITH GLORY ^G1391 AND HONOR ^G5092[fn];

8 YOU HAVE PUT ^G5293 EVERYTHING ^G3956 IN ^G5293 SUBJECTION ^G5293 UNDER ^G5270 HIS FEET ^G4228.”

For in subjecting ^G5293 all ^G3956 things ^G3956 to him, He left ^G863 nothing ^G3762 that is not ^G506 subject ^G506 to him. But now ^G3568 we do not yet ^G3768 see ^G3708 all ^G3956 things ^G3956 subjected ^G5293 to him.

Jesus Briefly Humbled

9 But we do see ^G991 Him who was made ^G1642 [fn]for a little ^G1024 while ^G1024 lower ^G1642 than ^G3844 the angels ^G32, namely, Jesus ^G2424, because ^G1223 of His suffering ^G3804 death ^G2288 crowned ^G4737 with glory ^G1391 and honor ^G5092, so ^G3704 that ^G3379 by the grace ^G5485 of God ^G2316 He might taste ^G1089 death ^G2288 for everyone ^G3956.

10 For it was fitting ^G4241 for Him, for whom ^G3739 are all ^G3956 things ^G3956, and through ^G1223 whom ^G3739 are all ^G3956 things ^G3956, in bringing ^G71 many ^G4183 sons ^G5207 to glory ^G1391, to perfect ^G5048 the [fn]originator ^G747 of their salvation ^G4991 through ^G1223 sufferings ^G3804. 11 For both ^G5037 He who sanctifies ^G37 and those ^G3588 who are [fn]sanctified ^G37 are all ^G3956 from one ^G1520 Father; for this ^G3739 reason ^G156 He is ^G1870 not ashamed ^G1870 to call ^G2564 them brothers ^G80 and sisters, 12 saying ^G3004,

“I WILL PROCLAIM ^G518 YOUR NAME ^G3686 TO MY BROTHERS ^G80,

IN THE MIDST ^G3319 OF THE ASSEMBLY ^G1577 I WILL SING ^G5214 YOUR PRAISE ^G5214.”

13 And again ^G3825,

“I WILL PUT ^G3982 MY TRUST ^G3982 IN HIM.”

And again ^G3825,

“BEHOLD ^G2400, I AND THE CHILDREN ^G3813 WHOM ^G3739 GOD ^G2316 HAS GIVEN ^G1325 ME.”

14 Therefore ^G3767, since ^G1893 the children ^G3813 share ^G2841 in [fn]flesh ^G4561 and blood ^G129, He Himself ^G846 likewise ^G3898 also ^G2532 partook ^G3348 of the same ^G846, so ^G2443 that ^G2443 through ^G1223 death ^G2288 He might destroy ^G2673 the one who has ^G2192 the power ^G2904 of death ^G2288, that is, the devil ^G1228, 15 and free ^G525 those who ^G3745 through fear ^G5401 of death ^G2288 were subject ^G1777 to slavery ^G1397 all ^G3956 their lives ^G2198. 16 For clearly ^G1222 He does not [fn]give ^G1949 help ^G1949 to angels ^G32, but He gives ^G1949 help ^G1949 to the [fn]descendants ^G4690 of Abraham ^G11. 17 Therefore ^G3606, in all ^G3956 things ^G3956 He [fn]had ^G3784 to be made ^G3666 like ^G3666 His brothers ^G80 so ^G2443 that ^G2443 He might become ^G1096 a merciful ^G1655 and faithful ^G4103 high ^G749 priest ^G749 in things pertaining ^G4314 to God ^G2316, to make ^G2433 [fn]propitiation ^G2433 for ^G2433 the sins ^G266 of the people ^G2992. 18 For since He Himself ^G846 was [fn]tempted ^G3985 in that which ^G3739 He has suffered ^G3958, He is able ^G1410 to come ^G997 to ^G997 the ^G997 aid ^G997 of those ^G3588 who are [fn]tempted ^G3985.
