KJ3 Literal Translation
Hebrews 2
We ought to be obedient to Christ Jesus.
1Because of this it is needful for us more abundantly to take heed to the things having been heard that we should not slip away at any time.
2For if the word spoken by angels was confirmed, and every transgression and disobedience received a just repayment;
3how shall we escape while neglecting so great a salvation? Which having received a beginning to be spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by the ones having heard.
4God bearing witness with them, both by miraculous signs and wonders, and by various works of power, even by distributions of the Holy Spirit, according to His will.
5For He did not put the world, the one coming, under angels, about which we speak,
6but one fully testified somewhere, saying, “What is man, that You are mindful of him; or the son of man, that You look upon him?”
7You made him a little less than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor;” and, “You made him rule over the works of Your hands.”
8You subjected all things under his feet.” Psa. 8:4-6 For in order to subject all things under him, He left nothing not subjected to him. But now we do not yet see all things having been subjected to him;
9but the One for a little time, we do see Jesus, having been made less than the angels because of the suffering of death now, having been crowned with honor and glory so as by the grace of God He might taste of death for every son.
10For it was fitting for Him, because of whom are all things, and through whom are all things, bringing many sons into glory, to make complete Him as the Author of their salvation through sufferings.
11For both the One sanctifying and the ones being sanctified are all of One; for which cause He is not ashamed to call them brothers,
12saying, “I will announce Your name to My brothers; I will hymn to You in the midst of the Assembly.” Psa. 22:22
13And again, “I will be trusting on Him.” Isa. 8:17 And again, “Behold, I and the children whom God gave to Me.” Isa. 8:18
14Therefore since the children have partaken of flesh and blood, in like manner He Himself also shared the same things, that through death He might do away with the one having the power of death, this is, the devil;
15and might set these free, as many as by fear of death were subject to slavery through all the time to live.
16For indeed He does not take hold of angels, “but He takes hold of” “the Seed of Abraham”. Isa. 41:8, 9
17For which reason He is obligated in all things to become like His brothers, that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the things respecting God, in order to propitiate for the sins of His people.
18For in what He has suffered, being tried, He is able to help those being tried.
