WEB·Hebrews 2

¹Therefore we ought to pay greater attention to the things that were heard, lest perhaps we drift away.

KJVTherefore^G1223^G5124 we^G2248 ought^G1163^(G5748) to give the more earnest^G4056 heed^G4337^(G5721) to the things which we have heard^G191^(G5685), lest at any time^G3379 we should let them slip^G3901^(G5632).

² For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just penalty,

KJVFor^G1063 if^G1487 the word^G3056 spoken^G2980^(G5685) by^G1223 angels^G32 was^G1096^(G5633) stedfast^G949, and^G2532 every^G3956 transgression^G3847 and^G2532 disobedience^G3876 received^G2983^(G5627) a just^G1738 recompence of reward^G3405;

³ how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation—which at the first having been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard,

KJVHow^G4459 shall we^G2249 escape^G1628^(G5695), if we neglect^G272^(G5660) so great^G5082 salvation^G4991; which^G3748 at the first^G746 began^G2983^(G5631) to be spoken^G2980^(G5745) by^G1223 the Lord^G2962, and was confirmed^G950^(G5681) unto^G1519 us^G2248 by^G5259 them that heard^G191^(G5660) him;

⁴ God also testifying with them, both by signs and wonders, by various works of power, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will?

KJVGod^G2316 also bearing them witness^G4901^(G5723), both^G5037 with signs^G4592 and^G2532 wonders^G5059, and^G2532 with divers^G4164 miracles^G1411, and^G2532 gifts^G3311 of the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151, according to^G2596 his own^G846 will^G2308?

⁵ For he didn’t subject the world to come, of which we speak, to angels.

KJVFor^G1063 unto the angels^G32 hath he^G5293 not^G3756 put in subjection^G5293^(G5656) the world^G3625 to come^G3195^(G5723), whereof^G4012^G3739 we speak^G2980^(G5719).

⁶ But one has somewhere testified, saying, “What is man, that you think of him? Or the son of man, that you care for him?

KJVBut^G1161 one^G5100 in a certain place^G4225 testified^G1263^(G5662), saying^G3004^(G5723), What^G5101 is^G2076^(G5748) man^G444, that^G3754 thou art mindful^G3403^(G5736) of him^G846? or^G2228 the son^G5207 of man^G444, that^G3754 thou visitest^G1980^(G5736) him^G846?

⁷ You made him a little lower than the angels. You crowned him with glory and honor.

KJVThou madest^G1642 him^G846 a little^G1024^G5100 lower^G1642^(G5656) than^G3844 the angels^G32; thou crownedst^G4737^(G5656) him^G846 with glory^G1391 and^G2532 honour^G5092, and^G2532 didst set^G2525^(G5656) him^G846 over^G1909 the works^G2041 of thy^G4675 hands^G5495:

⁸ You have put all things in subjection under his feet.” For in that he subjected all things to him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we don’t yet see all things subjected to him.

KJVThou hast put^G5293 all things^G3956 in subjection^G5293^(G5656) under^G5270 his^G846 feet^G4228. For^G1063 in^G1722 that he put^G5293 all^G3956 in subjection under^G5293^(G5658) him^G846, he left^G863^(G5656) nothing that is not^G3762 put under^G506 him^G846. But^G1161 now^G3568 we see^G3708^(G5719) not yet^G3768 all things^G3956 put under^G5293^(G5772) him^G846.

⁹ But we see him who has been made a little lower than the angels, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for everyone.

KJVBut^G1161 we see^G991^(G5719) Jesus^G2424, who^G3588 was made^G1642 a little^G1024^G5100 lower^G1642^(G5772) than^G3844 the angels^G32 for^G1223 the suffering^G3804 of death^G2288, crowned^G4737^(G5772) with glory^G1391 and^G2532 honour^G5092; that^G3704 he^G1089 by the grace^G5485 of God^G2316 should taste^G1089^(G5667) death^G2288 for^G5228 every man^G3956.

¹⁰ For it became him, for whom are all things and through whom are all things, in bringing many children to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

KJVFor^G1063 it became^G4241^(G5707) him^G846, for^G1223 whom^G3739 are all things^G3956, and^G2532 by^G1223 whom^G3739 are all things^G3956, in bringing^G71^(G5631) many^G4183 sons^G5207 unto^G1519 glory^G1391, to make^G5048 the captain^G747 of their^G846 salvation^G4991 perfect^G5048^(G5658) through^G1223 sufferings^G3804.

¹¹ For both he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brothers,

KJVFor^G1063 both^G5037 he that sanctifieth^G37^(G5723) and^G2532 they who are sanctified^G37^(G5746) are all^G3956 of^G1537 one^G1520: for^G1223 which^G3739 cause^G156 he is^G1870 not^G3756 ashamed^G1870^(G5736) to call^G2564^(G5721) them^G846 brethren^G80,

¹² saying, “I will declare your name to my brothers. Among the congregation I will sing your praise.”

KJVSaying^G3004^(G5723), I will declare^G518^(G5692) thy^G4675 name^G3686 unto my^G3450 brethren^G80, in^G1722 the midst^G3319 of the church^G1577 will I sing praise^G5214^(G5692) unto thee^G4571.

¹³ Again, “I will put my trust in him.” Again, “Behold, here I am with the children whom God has given me.”

KJVAnd^G2532 again^G3825, I^G1473 will^G2071^(G5704) put my trust^G3982^(G5756) in^G1909 him^G846. And^G2532 again^G3825, Behold^G2400^(G5628) I^G1473 and^G2532 the children^G3813 which^G3739 God^G2316 hath given^G1325^(G5656) me^G3427.

¹⁴ Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in the same way partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,

KJVForasmuch^G1893 then^G3767 as the children^G3813 are partakers^G2841^(G5758) of flesh^G4561 and^G2532 blood^G129, he^G3348 also^G2532 himself^G846 likewise^G3898 took part^G3348^(G5627) of the same^G846; that^G2443 through^G1223 death^G2288 he might destroy^G2673^(G5661) him that had^G2192^(G5723) the power^G2904 of death^G2288, that is^G5123^(G5748), the devil^G1228;

¹⁵ and might deliver all of them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

KJVAnd^G2532 deliver^G525^(G5661) them^G5128 who^G3745 through^G1223 fear^G5401 of death^G2288 were^G2258^(G5713) all^G3956 their lifetime^G2198^(G5721) subject^G1777 to bondage^G1397.

¹⁶ For most certainly, he doesn’t give help to angels, but he gives help to the offspring of Abraham.

KJVFor^G1063 verily^G1222 he took^G1949 not^G3756 on^G1949^(G5736) him the nature of angels^G32; but^G235 he took on^G1949^(G5736) him the seed^G4690 of Abraham^G11.

¹⁷ Therefore he was obligated in all things to be made like his brothers, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people.

KJVWherefore^G3606 in^G2596 all things^G3956 it behoved him^G3784^(G5707) to be made like^G3666^(G5683) unto his brethren^G80, that^G2443 he might be^G1096^(G5638) a merciful^G1655 and^G2532 faithful^G4103 high priest^G749 in things pertaining to^G4314 God^G2316, to^G1519 make reconciliation for^G2433^(G5745) the sins^G266 of the people^G2992.

¹⁸ For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

KJVFor^G1063 in^G1722 that^G3739 he^G3958 himself^G846 hath suffered^G3958^(G5754) being tempted^G3985^(G5685), he is able^G1410^(G5736) to succour^G997^(G5658) them that are tempted^G3985^(G5746).

WEB·Hebrews 1

¹God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,

KJVGod^G2316, who at sundry times^G4181 and^G2532 in divers manners^G4187 spake^G2980^(G5660) in time past^G3819 unto the fathers^G3962 by^G1722 the prophets^G4396,

² has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.

KJVHath^G2980 in^G1909 these^G5130 last^G2078 days^G2250 spoken^G2980^(G5656) unto us^G2254 by^G1722 his Son^G5207, whom^G3739 he hath appointed^G5087^(G5656) heir^G2818 of all things^G3956, by^G1223 whom^G3739 also^G2532 he made^G4160^(G5656) the worlds^G165;

³ His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,

KJVWho^G3739 being^G5607^(G5752) the brightness^G541 of his glory^G1391, and^G2532 the express image^G5481 of his^G846 person^G5287, and^G5037 upholding^G5342^(G5723) all things^G3956 by the word^G4487 of his^G846 power^G1411, when he had^G4160^G2512 by^G1223 himself^G1438 purged^G4160^(G5671)^G2512 our^G2257 sins^G266, sat down^G2523^(G5656) on^G1722 the right hand^G1188 of the Majesty^G3172 on^G1722 high^G5308;

⁴ having become as much better than the angels as the more excellent name he has inherited is better than theirs.

KJVBeing made^G1096^(G5637) so much^G5118 better than^G2909 the angels^G32, as^G3745 he hath by inheritance obtained^G2816^(G5758) a more excellent^G1313 name^G3686 than^G3844 they^G846.

⁵ For to which of the angels did he say at any time, “You are my Son. Today I have become your father?” and again, “I will be to him a Father, and he will be to me a Son?”

KJVFor^G1063 unto which^G5101 of the angels^G32 said he^G2036^(G5627) at any time^G4218, Thou^G4771 art^G1488^(G5748) my^G3450 Son^G5207, this day^G4594 have^G1080 I^G1473 begotten^G1080^(G5758) thee^G4571? And^G2532 again^G3825, I^G1473 will be^G2071^(G5704) to^G1519 him^G846 a Father^G3962, and^G2532 he^G846 shall be^G2071^(G5704) to^G1519 me^G3427 a Son^G5207?

⁶ When he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, “Let all the angels of God worship him.”

KJVAnd^G1161 again^G3825, when^G3752 he bringeth in^G1521^(G5632) the firstbegotten^G4416 into^G1519 the world^G3625, he saith^G3004^(G5719), And^G2532 let^G4352 all^G3956 the angels^G32 of God^G2316 worship^G4352^(G5657) him^G846.

⁷ Of the angels he says, “He makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire.”

KJVAnd^G2532 of^G4314^G3303 the angels^G32 he saith^G3004^(G5719), Who maketh^G4160^(G5723) his^G846 angels^G32 spirits^G4151, and^G2532 his^G846 ministers^G3011 a flame^G5395 of fire^G4442.

⁸ But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your Kingdom.

KJVBut^G1161 unto^G4314 the Son^G5207 he saith, Thy^G4675 throne^G2362, O God^G2316, is for^G1519 ever^G165 and ever^G165: a sceptre^G4464 of righteousness^G2118 is the sceptre^G4464 of thy^G4675 kingdom^G932.

⁹ You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.”

KJVThou hast loved^G25^(G5656) righteousness^G1343, and^G2532 hated^G3404^(G5656) iniquity^G458; therefore^G1223^G5124 God^G2316, even thy^G4675 God^G2316, hath anointed^G5548^(G5656) thee^G4571 with the oil^G1637 of gladness^G20 above^G3844 thy^G4675 fellows^G3353.

¹⁰ And, “You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.

KJVAnd^G2532, Thou^G4771, Lord^G2962, in^G2596 the beginning^G746 hast laid the foundation^G2311^(G5656) of the earth^G1093; and^G2532 the heavens^G3772 are^G1526^(G5748) the works^G2041 of thine^G4675 hands^G5495:

¹¹ They will perish, but you continue. They all will grow old like a garment does.

KJVThey^G846 shall perish^G622^(G5698); but^G1161 thou^G4771 remainest^G1265^(G5719); and^G2532 they all^G3956 shall wax old^G3822^(G5701) as^G5613 doth a garment^G2440;

¹² You will roll them up like a mantle, and they will be changed; but you are the same. Your years won’t fail.”

KJVAnd^G2532 as^G5616 a vesture^G4018 shalt thou fold^G1667 them^G846 up^G1667^(G5692), and^G2532 they shall be changed^G236^(G5691): but^G1161 thou^G4771 art^G1488^(G5748) the same^G846, and^G2532 thy^G4675 years^G2094 shall^G1587 not^G3756 fail^G1587^(G5692).

¹³ But which of the angels has he told at any time, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?”

KJVBut^G1161 to^G4314 which^G5101 of the angels^G32 said he^G2046^(G5758) at any time^G4218, Sit^G2521^(G5737) on^G1537 my^G3450 right hand^G1188, until^G302^G2193 I make^G5087^(G5632) thine^G4675 enemies^G2190 thy^G4675 footstool^G5286^G4228?

¹⁴ Aren’t they all serving spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?

KJVAre they^G1526^(G5748) not^G3780 all^G3956 ministering^G3010 spirits^G4151, sent forth^G649^(G5746) to^G1519 minister^G1248 for^G1223 them who shall^G3195^(G5723) be heirs of^G2816^(G5721) salvation^G4991?
