CHAP. II.
The transgression of the precepts
of the Son of God is
far more condemnable, than
of those of the old testament
given by Angels.
1 Therefore ought
we more diligently to
observe the things which we
have heard: lest at any time
we should let them slip.
2 For if the word, spoken
by the Angels, became stedfast,
and every transgression
and disobedience received a
just recompence of reward:
3 How shall we escape if
we neglect so great salvation?
which having begun to be
declared by the Lord, was
confirmed to us, by them
that heard him.
4 God also bearing them
-- --
witness by signs and wonders,
and divers miracles, and gifts
of the Holy Ghost according
to his own will.
5 For God hath not put
in subjection to the Angels
the world to come, whereof
we speak.
6 But one in a certain place
hath testified, saying: What
is man, that thou art mindful
of him? or the son of man,
that thou visitest him?
7 Thou hast made him a
little lesser than the Angels:
thou hast crowned him with
glory and honour: and hast set
him over the works of thy
hands:
8 Thou hast put all things
in subjection under his feet.
For in that he subjected all
things to him, he left nothing
not subject to him. But
now we see not as yet all
things subject to him.
9 But we see Jesus, who
was made a little lesser than
the Angels, for the suffering
of death, crowned with glory
and honour: that through
the grace of God he might
taste death for all.
10 For it became him, for
whom are all things, and
by whom are all things, who
had brought many children
into glory, to make the author
of their salvation note
perfect by suffering.
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, saying:
12 I will declare thy name
to my brethren: in the midst
of the church will I praise
thee.
13 And again: I will put
my trust in him. And again:
Behold I, and my children,
whom God hath given me.
14 Forasmuch then as the
children were partakers of
flesh and blood, he also himself
in like manner partook
of the same: that, through
death, he might destroy him
who had the empire of death,
that is to say, the devil:
15 And might deliver them
who through the fear of death
were all their life-time subject
to bondage.
16 For note no where doth he
take hold of the Angels: but
of the seed of Abraham he
taketh hold.
17 Wherefore it behoved
him in all things to be made
like to his brethren, that he
-- --
might become a merciful and
faithful high-priest with God,
to make a reconciliation for
the sins of the people.
18 For in that, wherein
he himself hath suffered and
been tempted, he is able to
succour them also that are
tempted.
