For if the word (A)spoken through (B)angels proved [a]unalterable, and (C)every violation and act of disobedience received a just [b](D)punishment, (E)how will we escape if we neglect so great a (F)salvation? [c]After it was at first (G)spoken through the Lord, it was (H)confirmed to us by those who heard, God also testifying with them, both by (I)signs and wonders, and by (J)various [d]miracles and by [e](K)gifts of the Holy Spirit (L)according to His own will.

Earth Subject to Man

For He did not subject to angels [f](M)the world to come, about which we are speaking. But someone has testified (N)somewhere, saying,

(O)What is man, that You think of him?
Or a son of man, that You are concerned about him?
(P)You have made him [g]for a little while lower than angels;
You have crowned him with glory and honor[h];
(Q)You have put everything in subjection under his feet.”

For in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing that is not subject to him. But now (R)we do not yet see all things subjected to him.

Jesus Briefly Humbled

But we do see Him who was (S)made [i]for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, (T)because of His suffering death (U)crowned with glory and honor, so that (V)by the grace of God He might (W)taste death (X)for everyone.

10 For (Y)it was fitting for Him, (Z)for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to (AA)perfect the [j](AB)originator of their salvation through sufferings. 11 For both He who (AC)sanctifies and those who (AD)are [k]sanctified are all (AE)from one Father; for this reason He is not ashamed to call them (AF)brothers and sisters, 12 saying,

(AG)I will proclaim Your name to My brothers,
In the midst of the assembly I will sing Your praise.”

13 And again,

(AH)I will put My trust in Him.”

And again,

(AI)Behold, I and the children whom God has given Me.”

14 Therefore, since the children share in [l](AJ)flesh and blood, (AK)He Himself likewise also partook of the same, so that (AL)through death He might destroy (AM)the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and free those who through (AN)fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives. 16 For clearly He does not [m]give help to angels, but He gives help to the [n]descendants of Abraham. 17 Therefore, in all things He [o]had (AO)to be made like His brothers so that He might (AP)become a merciful and faithful (AQ)high priest in (AR)things pertaining to God, to (AS)make [p]propitiation for the sins of the people. 18 For since He Himself was [q](AT)tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are [r]tempted.

For since the message spoken(A) through angels(B) was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment,(C) how shall we escape if we ignore so great a salvation?(D) This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord,(E) was confirmed to us by those who heard him.(F) God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles,(G) and by gifts of the Holy Spirit(H) distributed according to his will.(I)

Jesus Made Fully Human

It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking. But there is a place where someone(J) has testified:

“What is mankind that you are mindful of them,
    a son of man that you care for him?(K)
You made them a little[a] lower than the angels;
    you crowned them with glory and honor
    and put everything under their feet.”[b][c](L)

In putting everything under them,[d] God left nothing that is not subject to them.[e] Yet at present we do not see everything subject to them.[f] But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor(M) because he suffered death,(N) so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.(O)

10 In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists,(P) should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered.(Q) 11 Both the one who makes people holy(R) and those who are made holy(S) are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters.[g](T) 12 He says,

“I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters;
    in the assembly I will sing your praises.”[h](U)

13 And again,

“I will put my trust in him.”[i](V)

And again he says,

“Here am I, and the children God has given me.”[j](W)

14 Since the children have flesh and blood,(X) he too shared in their humanity(Y) so that by his death he might break the power(Z) of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil(AA) 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear(AB) of death. 16 For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants.(AC) 17 For this reason he had to be made like them,[k](AD) fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful(AE) and faithful high priest(AF) in service to God,(AG) and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.(AH) 18 Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.(AI)
