Hebrews 2 ©
1 The obligation we are under to give more earnest heed to the gospel doctrine. 5 The dominion of the world to come was not granted to angels, but to the Son of man, whom it behoved to undergo a previous course of humiliation and suffering.
For if the word spoken bby angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience creceived a just recompence of reward;
lThou madest him 3a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:
mThou hast 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 nnow we see not yet all things put under him.
But we see Jesus, who owas made a little lower than the angels 4for the suffering of death, pcrowned with glory and honour; that qhe by the grace of God should taste death rfor every man.
Saying, bI will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
*Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, fhe also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death ghe might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
hAnd deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
For *verily 5he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him ithe seed of Abraham.
Wherefore in all things it *behoved him to be made jlike unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
