Warning Not to Neglect Salvation
2 Because of this, it is all the more necessary that we pay attention to the things we have heard, lest we drift away. 2 For if the word spoken through angels was binding and every transgression and act of disobedience received a just penalty, 3 how will we escape if we[a] neglect so great a salvation which had its beginning when it[b] was spoken through the Lord and was confirmed to us by those who heard, 4 while[c] God was testifying at the same time by signs and wonders and various miracles and distributions of the Holy Spirit according to his will.
The Son’s Humiliation and Suffering
5 For he did not subject to angels the world to come, about which we are speaking. 6 But someone testified somewhere, saying,
“What is man, that you remember him,
or the son of man, that you care for him?
7 You made him for a short time lower than the angels;
you crowned him with glory and honor;[d]
8 you subjected all things under his feet.[e]
For in subjecting all things,[f] he left nothing that was not subject to him. But now we do not yet see all things subjected to him, 9 but we see Jesus, for a short time made lower than the angels, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, so that apart from God[g] he might taste death on behalf of everyone. 10 For it was fitting for him for whom are all things and through whom are all things in bringing many sons to glory to perfect the originator of their salvation through sufferings. 11 For both the one who sanctifies and the ones who are sanctified are all from one, for which reason he is not ashamed to call them brothers, 12 saying,
“I will proclaim your name to my brothers;
in the midst of the assembly I will sing in praise of you.”[h]
13 And again,
“I will trust in him.”[i]
And again,
“Behold, I and the children God has given me.”[j]
14 Therefore, since the children share in blood and flesh, he also in like manner shared in these same things, in order that through death he could destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and could set free these who through fear of death were subject to slavery throughout all their lives. 16 For surely he is not concerned with angels, but he is concerned with the descendants of Abraham. 17 Therefore he was obligated to be made like his brothers in all respects, in order that he could become a merciful and faithful high priest in the things relating to God, in order to make atonement for the sins of the people. 18 For in that which he himself suffered when he[k] was tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

Ang Dakilang Kaligtasan
2 Kung gayo'y dapat nating mas bigyang pansin ang mga bagay na narinig natin upang hindi tayo maligaw. 2 Napatunayang totoo ang mensaheng ipinahayag ng mga anghel at sinumang lumabag dito ay tumanggap ng kaukulang parusa. 3 Kaya paano tayo makakaiwas sa parusa kung ipagwawalang-bahala natin ang ganito kadakilang kaligtasan? Ang Panginoon ang nagpahayag nito noong una, at pinatunayan din sa atin ng mga nakarinig sa kanya. 4 Lalo pa itong pinatunayan ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ng mga tanda, ng mga kababalaghan at iba't ibang himala gayundin sa pamamagitan ng mga kaloob ng Banal na Espiritu, na ipinamahagi ayon sa kanyang kapasyahan.
Ang Nagpasimula ng Kaligtasan
5 Sapagkat hindi sa mga anghel ipinasakop ng Diyos ang sanlibutang darating, na siyang tinutukoy namin. 6 Ngunit (A) may nagpatunay sa isang dako, na sinasabi,
“Ano ang tao upang siya'y iyong alalahanin?
O ang anak ng tao upang siya'y iyong kalingain?
7 Siya'y ginawa mong mababa kaysa mga anghel nang sandaling panahon;
siya'y pinutungan mo ng kaluwalhatian at ng karangalan,
at siya'y inilagay mo sa ibabaw ng mga gawa ng iyong mga kamay.[a]
8 Ipinasakop mo ang lahat ng bagay sa kanyang mga paanan.”
Nang masakop niya ang bawat bagay, wala siyang iniwan na hindi niya nasasakop. Ngunit ngayon ay hindi pa natin nakikitang nasasakop niya ang lahat ng mga bagay, 9 kundi nakikita natin si Jesus, na sa sandaling panahon ay ginawang mababa kaysa mga anghel, na dahil sa pagdurusa ng kamatayan ay pinutungan ng kaluwalhatian at karangalan, upang sa pamamagitan ng biyaya ng Diyos ay maranasan niya ang kamatayan alang-alang sa lahat.
10 Sapagkat nararapat na ang Diyos na lumikha sa lahat at siyang patutunguhan ng lahat ng mga bagay ay nagdadala ng maraming anak tungo sa kaluwalhatian, at gawing sakdal ang tagapagtatag ng kanilang kaligtasan sa pamamagitan ng mga pagdurusa. 11 Sapagkat iisa ang pinagmulan ng gumagawang banal at ng mga ginawang banal. Dahil dito'y hindi nahihiya si Jesus na tawagin silang mga kapatid. 12 Sinabi(B) niya,
“Ipahahayag ko sa aking mga kapatid ang iyong pangalan,
aawitan kita ng mga himno sa gitna ng kapulungan.”
13 At (C) muli,
“Ilalagak ko ang aking pagtitiwala sa kanya.”
Sinabi din niya,
“Narito ako at ang mga anak na ibinigay sa akin ng Diyos.”
14 Kaya, yamang nakikibahagi ang mga anak sa laman at dugo, at siya man ay nakibahagi rin sa mga bagay na ito, upang sa pamamagitan ng kamatayan ay kanyang mapuksa ang may kapangyarihan sa kamatayan, samakatuwid ay ang diyablo, 15 at mapalaya silang lahat na dahil sa takot sa kamatayan ay nasa ilalim ng pagkaalipin sa buong buhay nila. 16 Sapagkat (D) maliwanag na hindi ang mga anghel ang kanyang tinutulungan, kundi ang mga nagmula sa binhi ni Abraham. 17 Kaya't kailangang siya ay maging kagaya ng kanyang mga kapatid sa lahat ng mga bagay, upang siya ay maging isang maawain at tapat na Kataas-taasang Pari sa mga bagay na nauukol sa Diyos, upang gumawa ng handog na pantubos sa mga kasalanan ng mga tao. 18 Palibhasa'y naranasan niyang tuksuhin, siya'y may kakayahang tumulong sa mga tinutukso.

Warning to Pay Attention
2 We must pay the most careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.(A) 2 For since the message spoken(B) through angels(C) was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment,(D) 3 how shall we escape if we ignore so great a salvation?(E) This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord,(F) was confirmed to us by those who heard him.(G) 4 God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles,(H) and by gifts of the Holy Spirit(I) distributed according to his will.(J)
Jesus Made Fully Human
5 It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking. 6 But there is a place where someone(K) has testified:
“What is mankind that you are mindful of them,
a son of man that you care for him?(L)
7 You made them a little[a] lower than the angels;
you crowned them with glory and honor
8 and put everything under their feet.”[b][c](M)
In putting everything under them,[d] God left nothing that is not subject to them.[e] Yet at present we do not see everything subject to them.[f] 9 But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor(N) because he suffered death,(O) so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.(P)
10 In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists,(Q) should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered.(R) 11 Both the one who makes people holy(S) and those who are made holy(T) are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters.[g](U) 12 He says,
“I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters;
in the assembly I will sing your praises.”[h](V)
13 And again,
And again he says,
14 Since the children have flesh and blood,(Y) he too shared in their humanity(Z) so that by his death he might break the power(AA) of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil(AB)— 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear(AC) of death. 16 For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants.(AD) 17 For this reason he had to be made like them,[k](AE) fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful(AF) and faithful high priest(AG) in service to God,(AH) and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.(AI) 18 Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.(AJ)

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.

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.
