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.

English Standard Version
Warning Against Neglecting Salvation
2 Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. 2 For since (A)the message declared by angels proved to be reliable, and (B)every transgression or disobedience received a just (C)retribution, 3 (D)how shall we escape if we (E)neglect such a great salvation? It was (F)declared at first by the Lord, and it was (G)attested to us (H)by those who heard, 4 (I)while God also bore witness (J)by signs and wonders and various miracles and by (K)gifts of the Holy Spirit (L)distributed according to his will.
The Founder of Salvation
5 For it was not to angels that God subjected the world (M)to come, of which we are speaking. 6 It has been testified somewhere,
(N)“What is man, that you are mindful of him,
or the son of man, that you care for him?
7 You made him for a little while lower than the angels;
you have crowned him with glory and honor,[a]
8 putting everything in subjection under his feet.”
Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside his control. At present, (O)we do not yet see everything in subjection to him. 9 But we see him (P)who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, (Q)crowned with glory and honor (R)because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might (S)taste death (T)for everyone.
10 For it (U)was fitting that he, (V)for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons (W)to glory, should make the (X)founder of their salvation (Y)perfect through suffering. 11 For (Z)he who sanctifies and (AA)those who are sanctified (AB)all have one source.[b] That is why he is not ashamed to call them (AC)brothers,[c] 12 saying,
(AD)“I will tell of your name to my brothers;
in the midst of the (AE)congregation I will sing your praise.”
13 And again,
(AF)“I will put my trust in him.”
And again,
14 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise (AI)partook of the same things, that (AJ)through death he might (AK)destroy (AL)the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and deliver all those who (AM)through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. 16 For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he (AN)helps the offspring of Abraham. 17 Therefore he had (AO)to be made like his brothers in every respect, (AP)so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest (AQ)in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18 For because he himself has suffered (AR)when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.

Ang Dakilang Kaligtasan
2 Kaya nga, dapat lalo nating panghawakang mabuti ang mga narinig natin upang hindi tayo maligaw. 2 Ang mensaheng ipinahayag sa pamamagitan
ng mga anghel ay napatunayang totoo, at sinumang lumabag o hindi sumunod dito ay tumanggap ng kaukulang parusa. 3 Gayundin naman, paano tayo makakaiwas sa parusa kung hindi natin pahahalagahan ang napakadakilang kaligtasang ito? Ang Panginoon ang unang nagpahayag ng kaligtasang ito, at ang mga nakarinig sa kanya ang nagpatunay sa atin na ito'y totoo. 4 Pinatunayan din ito ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ng mga kahanga-hangang tanda at ng iba't ibang himala, at sa pamamagitan ng mga kaloob ng Espiritu Santo na ipinamahagi niya ayon sa kanyang sariling kalooban.
Ang Nagsagawa ng Pagliligtas sa Atin
5 Hindi sa mga anghel ipinamahala ng Diyos ang daigdig na kanyang lilikhain—ang daigdig na aming tinutukoy. 6 Sa(A) halip ay ganito ang sinasabi ayon sa isang bahagi ng Kasulatan:
“Ano ba ang tao upang iyong pahalagahan,
o ang anak ng tao upang iyong pangalagaan?
7 Sandaling panahong siya'y ginawa mong mas mababa kaysa mga anghel,
pinuspos mo siya ng dangal at ng luwalhati, [ginawa mo siyang tagapamahala ng lahat ng iyong nilikha][a]
8 at ipinasakop mo sa kanyang kapangyarihan ang lahat ng bagay.”
Nang ipinasakop ng Diyos ang lahat ng bagay sa kapangyarihan ng tao,[b] walang bagay na di ipinailalim sa kanya. Sa kasalukuyan, hindi pa natin nakikitang napapailalim sa kanyang kapangyarihan ang lahat ng bagay. 9 Subalit alam nating si Jesus, kahit na sa kaunting panaho'y ginawang mas mababa kaysa mga anghel, ay binigyan ng karangalan at kaluwalhatian dahil sa pagdurusa niya sa kamatayan. Dahil sa kagandahang-loob ng Diyos sa atin, niloob niyang si Jesus ay makaranas ng kamatayan para sa lahat. 10 Sa pamamagitan ng kanyang pagdurusa, siya'y ginawang ganap ng Diyos at nang sa gayon ay makapagdala siya ng maraming anak patungo sa kaluwalhatian. Ito'y dapat lamang gawin ng Diyos na lumikha at nangangalaga sa lahat ng bagay, sapagkat si Jesus ang tagapanguna ng kanilang kaligtasan.
11 Si Jesus ang nagpapabanal sa mga tao. Ang kanyang Ama at ang Ama ng mga taong ito ay iisa, kaya't hindi niya ikinahihiyang tawagin silang mga kapatid. 12 Sinabi(B) niya sa Diyos,
“Ipapahayag ko sa aking mga kapatid ang iyong pangalan,
sa gitna ng kapulungan ika'y papupurihan.”
13 Sinabi(C) rin niya,
“Ako'y mananalig sa Diyos.”
At dugtong pa niya,
“Narito ako, at ang mga anak na kaloob sa akin ng Diyos.”
14 Dahil sa ang mga anak na tinutukoy niya ay tao, naging tao rin si Jesus at tulad nila'y may laman at dugo. Ginawa niya ito upang sa pamamagitan ng kanyang kamatayan ay mawasak niya ang diyablo na siyang may kapangyarihan sa kamatayan. 15 Sa pamamagitan din ng kanyang kamatayan ay pinalaya niya ang lahat ng tao na buong buhay nila'y inalipin ng takot sa kamatayan. 16 Hindi(D) ang mga anghel ang kanyang tinutulungan, sa halip ay ang mga anak ni Abraham. 17 Kaya't kinailangang matulad siya sa kanyang mga kapatid sa lahat ng paraan. Upang siya'y maging isang Pinakapunong Pari na mahabagin at tapat na naglilingkod sa Diyos at nag-aalay ng handog para mapatawad ang mga kasalanan ng tao. 18 At ngayo'y matutulungan niya ang mga tinutukso, sapagkat siya man ay tinukso at nagdusa.
