Hebrews 2:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 (A)God bearing witness thereto, both with [a]signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the holy Ghost, according to his own will?
5 [b]For he hath not put in subjection unto the Angels the [c]world to come, whereof we speak.
6 [d]But (B)one in a certain place witnessed, saying, [e]What is man, that thou shouldest be mindful of him? or the [f]son of man, that thou wouldest consider him?

- Hebrews 2:4 This is the true end of miracles. Now they are called signs, because they appear one thing, and represent another: and they are called wonders, because they represent some strange and unaccustomed things and virtues, because they give us a glimpse of God’s mighty power.
- Hebrews 2:5 If it were an heinous matter to contemn the Angels which are but servants, much more heinous is it to contemn that most mighty King of the restored world.
- Hebrews 2:5 The world to come, whereof Christ is Father, Isa. 9:6, or the Church, which as a new world, was to be gathered together by the Gospel.
- Hebrews 2:6 He showeth that the use of this kingly dignity consisteth herein, that men might not only [in] Christ recover that dignity which they have lost, but also might be through him advanced above all things, which dignity of men David describeth most excellently.
- Hebrews 2:6 What is there in man that thou shouldest have so great regard of him, and do him that honor?
- Hebrews 2:6 He calleth all the citizens of that heavenly kingdom as they are considered in themselves, before that God giveth them the liberty, of that city in Christ, Man, and Son of man.
