Gottes Neue Offenbarungen

The Epistle to the Hebrews

Unlocked Literal Bible :: World English Bible Catholic

- Kapitel 2 -

1
Therefore, we must give far more attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away from it.
2
For if the message that was spoken through the angels is valid, and every transgression and disobedience receives just punishment,
3
how then can we escape if we ignore so great a salvation? This is salvation that was first announced by the Lord and confirmed to us by those who heard it.
4
At the same time God testified to it by signs, wonders, and various powerful deeds, and by distributing the gifts of the Holy Spirit according to his will.

Jesus like His Brothers

5
For it was not to the angels that God subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking.
6
Instead, someone has somewhere testified, saying, ”What is man, that you are mindful of him? Or a son of man, that you care for him?
7
You made man a little lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and honor.
8
You put everything in subjection under his feet.” For it was to him that God has subjected all things. He did not leave anything not subjected to him. But now we do not yet see everything subjected to him.
9
But we see the one who was made lower than the angels for a short amount of time: Jesus, who, because of his suffering and death, has been crowned with glory and honor. So now by God’s grace, he has tasted death for every man.
10
For it was proper for God, because everything exists for him and through him, to bring many sons to glory. It was proper for him to make the leader of their salvation complete through his sufferings.
11
For both the one who sanctifies and those who are sanctified have one source. So he is not ashamed to call them brothers.
12
He says, “I will proclaim your name to my brothers, I will sing about you from inside the assembly.”
13
And again, “I will trust in him.” And again, “See, here am I and the children whom God has given me.”
14
Therefore, since the children of God share flesh and blood, Jesus also shared the same things with them, so that through death he would do away with the one who had the power of death, that is, the devil.
15
This was so that he would free all those who through fear of death lived all their lives in slavery.
16
For of course it is not with angels that he is concerned; instead, it is with the seed of Abraham that he is concerned.
17
So it was necessary for him to become like his brothers in all ways, so that he would be a merciful and faithful high priest in relation to the things of God, and so that he would bring about the pardon of the people’s sins.
18
Because Jesus himself has suffered and was tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.
1
Therefore we ought to pay greater attention to the things that were heard, lest perhaps we drift away.
2
For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just penalty,
3
how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvationwhich at the first having been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard,
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?

Jesus like His Brothers

5
For he didn’t subject the world to come, of which we speak, to angels.
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?
7
You made him a little lower than the angels. You crowned him with glory and honor.(a)
8
You have put all things in subjection under his feet.”(b) 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.
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.
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.
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,(c)
12
saying,I will declare your name to my brothers. Among the congregation I will sing your praise.”(d)
13
Again, “I will put my trust in him.” Again, “Behold, here I am with the children whom God has given me.”(e)
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,
15
and might deliver all of them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
16
For most certainly, he doesn’t give help to angels, but he gives help to the offspring(f) of Abraham.
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.
18
For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.
