Hebrews 2:1

Do Not Neglect Salvation

1 Therefore we must give1 the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.  
2 For if the word aspoken through angels proved steadfast, and bevery transgression and disobedience received a just1 reward,  
3 ahow shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, bwhich at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was cconfirmed to us by those who heard Him,  
4 aGod also bearing witness bboth with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and cgifts of the Holy Spirit, daccording to His own will?  

The Son Made Lower than Angels

5 For He has not put athe world to come, of which we speak, in subjection to angels.  
6 But one testified in a certain place, saying:
a“What is man that You are mindful of him,
Or the son of man that You take care of him? 
7 You have made him1 a little lower than the angels;
You have crowned him with glory and honor,
1And set him over the works of Your hands. 
8 aYou have put all things in subjection under his feet.” For in that He put all in subjection under him, He left nothing that is not put under him. But now bwe do not yet see all things put under him.  
9 But we see Jesus, awho was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death bcrowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death cfor everyone.  

Bringing Many Sons to Glory

10 For it was fitting for Him, afor whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation bperfect through sufferings.  
11 For aboth He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified bare all of one, for which reason cHe is not ashamed to call them brethren,  
12 saying:
a“I will declare Your name to My brethren;
In the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You.”  
13 And again:
a“I will put My trust in Him.” And again:
b“Here am I and the children whom God has given Me.”
