To the Hebrews, 2

¹ That is why it is necessary for us to pay more than the usual attention to^*1 the things heard by us, that we may never drift away.

Lit., “more abundantly to be having [mind] toward.”

² For if the word spoken through angels proved to be firm, and every transgression and disobedient act received a retribution^*1 in harmony with justice;

Lit., “paying back of reward.”

³ how shall we escape if we have neglected^*1 a salvation of such greatness in that it began to be spoken through [our] Lord and was verified for us by those who heard him,

Lit., “having been unconcerned.”

⁴ while God joined in bearing witness with signs as well as portents and various powerful works^*1 and with distributions of holy spirit according to his will?

Or, “various miracles.”

⁵ For it is not to angels that he has subjected the inhabited earth^*1 to come, about which we are speaking.

Lit., “inhabited.” Gr., oi·kou·meʹnen, fem. sing., referring to the earth; Lat., orʹbem terʹrae, “circle of the earth.” Compare Isa 13:11 ftn, “Land.”

⁶ But a certain witness has given proof somewhere, saying: “What is man that you keep him in mind,^*1 or [the] son of man that you take care of him?

Lit., “you are remembering.”

⁷ You made him a little^*1 lower than angels; with glory and honor you crowned him, and appointed him over the works of your hands.^*2

Or, “for a little while.”
“And appointed him over the works of your hands,” אACD*VgSyp and Ps 8:6; P46BDc omit.

⁸ All things you subjected under his feet.” For in that he subjected all things to him [God]^*1 left nothing that is not subject to him. Now, though, we do not yet see all things in subjection to him;

Lit., “he.”

⁹ but we behold Jesus, who has been made a little^*1 lower than angels, crowned with glory and honor for having suffered death, that he by God’s undeserved kindness might taste death for every^*2 [man].

Or, “for a little while.”
Or, “every kind of.”

¹⁰ For it was fitting for the one for whose sake all things are and through whom all things are, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the Chief Agent^*1 of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

Lit., “Chief Leader.”

¹¹ For both he who is sanctifying and those who are being sanctified^*1 all [stem] from one, and for this cause he is not ashamed to call them “brothers,”^*2

Or, “those who are held sacred (treated as holy).” Gr., hoi ha·gi·a·zoʹme·noi; Lat., qui sanc·ti·fi·canʹtur; J17,22(Heb.), ham·qud·da·shimʹ.
“Brothers.” Gr., a·del·phousʹ; Lat., fraʹtres; J17,18,22(Heb.), ʼa·chimʹ.

¹² as he says: “I will declare your name to my brothers; in the middle of [the] congregation^*1 I will praise you with song.”

Lit., “of ecclesia.” Gr., ek·kle·siʹas; Lat., ec·cleʹsi·ae; J17,18,22(Heb.), qa·halʹ.

¹³ And again: “I will have my trust in him.” And again: “Look! I and the young children, whom Jehovah^*1 gave me.”

See App 1D.

¹⁴ Therefore, since the “young children” are sharers of blood and flesh, he also similarly partook of the same things, that through his death he might bring to nothing^*1 the one having the means to cause death, that is, the Devil;^*2

Or, “he might destroy (render inactive).”
“Devil,” אABVg; SypJ17,18,22, “Satan.”

¹⁵ and [that] he might emancipate all those who for fear of death were subject to slavery all through their lives.

¹⁶ For he is really not assisting angels at all, but he is assisting Abraham’s seed.

¹⁷ Consequently he was obliged to become like his “brothers” in all respects, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest^*1 in things pertaining to God, in order to offer propitiatory sacrifice^*2 for the sins of the people.

Lit., “chief priest.”
Lit., “to be making propitiation.”

¹⁸ For in that he himself has suffered when being put to the test, he is able to come to the aid of those who are being put to the test.
