Hebrews 2 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Pay Attention

2 For this reason we must pay much closer attention to ^[a]what we have heard, so that ^(A)we do not drift away from it. ²For if the word ^(B)spoken through ^(C)angels proved ^[b]unalterable, and ^(D)every violation and act of disobedience received a just ^[c]^(E)punishment, ³^(F)how will we escape if we neglect so great a ^(G)salvation? ^[d]After it was at first ^(H)spoken through the Lord, it was ^(I)confirmed to us by those who heard, ⁴God also testifying with them, both by ^(J)signs and wonders, and by ^(K)various ^[e]miracles and by ^[f]^(L)gifts of the Holy Spirit ^(M)according to His own will.

Earth Subject to Man

⁵For He did not subject to angels ^[g]^(N)the world to come, about which we are speaking. ⁶But someone has testified ^(O)somewhere, saying,

“^(P)What is man, that You think of him?
Or a son of man, that You are concerned about him?
⁷^(Q)You have made him ^[h]for a little while lower than angels;
You have crowned him with glory and honor^[i];
⁸^(R)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 ^(S)we do not yet see all things subjected to him.

Jesus Briefly Humbled

⁹But we do see Him who was ^(T)made ^[j]for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, ^(U)because of His suffering death ^(V)crowned with glory and honor, so that ^(W)by the grace of God He might ^(X)taste death ^(Y)for everyone.

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

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

¹³And again,

“^(AI)I will put My trust in Him.”

And again,

“^(AJ)Behold, I and the children whom God has given Me.”

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