Hebreerbrevet 2
Svenska Folkbibeln
2 1 Därför måste vi så mycket mer ta fasta på det vi har hört, så att vi inte driver bort med strömmen. 2 Om redan det ord som talades genom änglar stod fast och varje överträdelse och olydnad fick sitt rättvisa straff, 3 hur skall då vi kunna fly undan, om vi inte bryr oss om en så stor frälsning? Den förkunnades först av Herren och bekräftades för oss av dem som hade hört honom. 4 Gud gav också sitt vittnesbörd genom tecken och under och många slags kraftgärningar och genom att dela ut den helige Andes gåvor efter sin vilja.
Guds Son i ringhet
5 Det är inte under änglar han har lagt den kommande världen som vi talar om. 6 På ett ställe har någon vittnat:
Vad är en människa, eftersom du tänker på henne,
eller en Människoson, eftersom du tar dig an honom?[a]
7 En liten tid gjorde du honom ringare än änglarna,
och du krönte honom med härlighet och ära.
8 Allt har du lagt under hans fötter.
När han lade allt under honom, utelämnades inget, allt skulle vara lagt under honom. Ännu ser vi inte allt vara lagt under honom. 9 Men Jesus, som för en liten tid gjordes ringare än änglarna, honom ser vi nu krönt med härlighet och ära därför att han led döden. Genom Guds nåd[b] skulle han smaka döden i allas ställe.
10 Ty när Gud, för vilken och genom vilken allting är till, skulle föra många söner till härlighet, måste han fullkomna honom genom lidanden, han som för dem till frälsning.[c] 11 Jesus som helgar och de som helgas är alla av en och samma släkt.[d] Därför blygs han inte för att kalla dem bröder, 12 då han säger: Jag skall förkunna ditt namn för mina bröder, mitt i församlingen skall jag lovsjunga dig. [e] 13 Han säger också: Jag skall förtrösta på honom, och vidare: Se, här är jag och barnen som Gud har gett mig. [f]
14 Eftersom nu barnen hade fått del av kött och blod, fick han på liknande sätt[g] del av kött och blod, för att han genom sin död skulle göra den maktlös som hade döden i sitt våld, det vill säga djävulen, 15 och befria alla dem som av fruktan för döden hade levt i slaveri hela sitt liv. 16 Det är ju inte änglar utan Abrahams barn han tar sig an. 17 Därför måste han i allt bli lik sina bröder för att bli en barmhärtig och trogen överstepräst inför Gud och sona folkets synder. 18 Eftersom han själv har lidit och blivit frestad, kan han hjälpa dem som frestas.

Hebrews 2
King James Version
2 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
2 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;
3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?
5 For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.
6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest him?
7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:
8 Thou 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 now we see not yet all things put under him.
9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.
14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like 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.
18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
Hebrews 2
New King James Version
Do Not Neglect Salvation
2 Therefore we must give [a]the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away. 2 For if the word (A)spoken through angels proved steadfast, and (B)every transgression and disobedience received a just [b]reward, 3 (C)how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, (D)which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was (E)confirmed to us by those who heard Him, 4 (F)God also bearing witness (G)both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and (H)gifts[c] of the Holy Spirit, (I)according to His own will?
The Son Made Lower than Angels(J)
5 For He has not put (K)the world to come, of which we speak, in subjection to angels. 6 But one testified in a certain place, saying:
(L)“What is man that You are mindful of him,
Or the son of man that You take care of him?
7 You have made him [d]a little lower than the angels;
You have crowned him with glory and honor,
[e]And set him over the works of Your hands.
8 (M)You 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 (N)we do not yet see all things put under him. 9 But we see Jesus, (O)who was made [f]a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death (P)crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death (Q)for everyone.
Bringing Many Sons to Glory
10 For it was fitting for Him, (R)for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation (S)perfect through sufferings. 11 For (T)both He who [g]sanctifies and those who are being sanctified (U)are all of one, for which reason (V)He is not ashamed to call them brethren, 12 saying:
(W)“I will declare Your name to My brethren;
In the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You.”
13 And again:
(X)“I will put My trust in Him.”
And again:
(Y)“Here am I and the children whom God has given Me.”
14 Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He (Z)Himself likewise shared in the same, (AA)that through death He might destroy him who had the power of (AB)death, that is, the devil, 15 and release those who (AC)through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16 For indeed He does not [h]give aid to angels, but He does [i]give aid to the seed of Abraham. 17 Therefore, in all things He had (AD)to be made like His brethren, that He might be (AE)a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18 (AF)For in that He Himself has suffered, being [j]tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.
