Modern Literal Version
[Hebrews 2]


     2:1 Because of this, we ought to take-heed even-more to the things which were heard, lest we might drift away. 2:2 For* if the word spoken through the messengers became steadfast and every transgression and disobedience* received a just reward; 2:3 how will we escape, if we neglect so-great a salvation? Which was confirmed to us by those who heard, receiving it in the beginningas spoken through the Lord. 2:4 God was testifying together with them, both by signs and wonders and by various powers and by distributions of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will.


     2:5 For* he did not subject the future world* to messengers, concerning which we speak. 2:6 But someone has testified somewhere, saying, НWhat is man, that you remember him? Or the son of man, that you visit him? 2:7 You made him a little bit inferior than the messengers. You crowned him with glory and honor. 2:8 You made all things to be subject underneath his feet.М {Ps. 8:4-6}For* in that he subjected all things to him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. But we now do not yet see all things subjected to him. 2:9 But we see Jesus who has been made a little bit inferior than the messengers, because of the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor,*that by the grace of God he should taste of death on behalf of everyone. 2:10 For* it was suitable for him, because whom are all things and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to perfect him, who is the author of their salvation through sufferings. 2:11 For* both he who is sanctifying and those who are sanctified are all from one. Because of which cause, he is not ashamed to call them brethren, 2:12 saying, НI will proclaim your name to my brethren, in the midst of the congregation I will sing hymns to you.М {Ps. 22:22} 2:13 And again, НI will have confidence in him.М And again, НBehold, I and the children whom God has given me.М{Ps. 18:2, 2Sam. 22. 3, Is. 8:17, Is. 8:18} 2:14 Therefore since the children have shared in flesh and blood, in like-manner he partook of the same; that* he might do-away-with him, through death, who had the dominion of death, who is the Slanderer; 2:15 and might set-free those, as many as were in the fear of death liable to bondage all their life. 2:16 For* absolutely he does not help messengers, but he helps the seed of Abraham. 2:17 Hence it obligated him to have been similar in all things to his brethren, that* he might become a merciful and faithful high-priest in things pertaining to God, *that* he should make atonement for the sins of the people. 2:18 For* in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.
