¹ Therefore we ought to giue the more earnest heede to the things which we haue heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

² For if the word spoken by Angels was stedfast, and euery transgression and disobedience receiued a iust recompense of reward:

³ How shall we escape, if we neglect so great saluation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed vnto vs by them that heard him,

⁴ God also bearing them witnesse, both with signes & wonders, and with diuers miracles, and gifts of the holy Ghost, according to his owne will?

⁵ For vnto the Angels hath he not put in subiection the world to come, whereof we speake.

⁶ But one in a certaine place testified, saying: What is man, that thou art mindfull of him: or the Sonne of man that thou visitest him?

⁷ Thou madest him a little lower then the Angels, thou crownedst him with glory and honor, and didst set him ouer the workes of thy hands.

⁸ Thou hast put all things in subiection vnder his feete. For in that he put all in subiection vnder him, hee left nothing that is not put vnder him. But now wee see not yet all things put vnder him.

⁹ But wee see Iesus, who was made a little lower then the Angels, for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour, that hee by the grace of God should taste death for euery man.

¹⁰ For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sonnes vnto glory, to make the Captaine of their saluation perfect through sufferings.

¹¹ For both hee that sanctifieth, and they who are sanctified, are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to cal them brethren,

¹² Saying, I will declare thy Name vnto my brethren, in the midst of the Church will I sing praise vnto thee.

¹³ And againe, I will put my trust in him: and againe, Behold, I, and the children which God hath giuen me.

¹⁴ Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himselfe likewise took part of the same, that through death hee might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the deuill:

¹⁵ And deliuer them, who through feare of death were all their life time subiect to bondage.

¹⁶ For verely he tooke not on him the nature of Angels: but he tooke on him the seed of Abraham.

¹⁷ Wherfore in all things it behooued him to bee made like vnto his brethren, that he might be a mercifull and faithfull high Priest, in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sinnes of the people.

¹⁸ For in that he himselfe hath suffered, being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

This scripture reminds me of who I am and who I belong to, and what Christ did for me. I cannot get lost in the things of this world and the lust of my flesh, but I must diligently seek him and put God first in every thing I do.

Cheri's Hebrews Chapter 2 comment on 2/14/2013, 1:36am...

How wonderful art thou, JESUS, THE LAMB OF GOD.

Magdalena's Hebrews Chapter 2 comment on 1/10/2013, 9:52pm...

Verse 18: I have a heartfelt gratitude to the Lord for this. He knows that we will be tried with temptations, yet he is right there beside us and even became as a man and was tempted as one of us. This is so powerful to me.

Nor Lagunay's Hebrews Chapter 2 comment on 12/30/2012, 2:48am...

About verse 9, yes indeed he was a little bit lowered than angels in physical form, only as he was a man (for all the fullness of the God head dwelleth in him). He was the word that became flesh and the word was God) to offer his life for my sins and all mankind’s. Thank you Lord Jesus for saving such a wretched like me.

Diane Spencer's Hebrews Chapter 2 comment about verse 9 on 11/23/2012, 10:43am...

"But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for suffering death." The whole reason He was made a little lower than the angels was for suffering of death. Only in bodily form, in the likeness of man, complete with a central nervous system and limited by mortality can one suffer, and die.

Timothy Wayne George's Hebrews Chapter 2 comment on 7/15/2012, 12:54pm...

Jesus became a man, so that he could taste death for every man by the grace of God. We must be careful not to drift away, because there is only one name given unto man where by we must be saved, and that name is Jesus. Jesus learned obedience by the things he suffered, even the death on the cross. He is our perfect, and merciful high priest who intercedes for us in heaven before the Father. We no longer have to fear death, because Jesus destroyed the devil who had the power of death when He rose from the dead the third day. Victory is ours, and one day Jesus will sing our name before his saints in heaven. Thank God for your suffering, for we too will be perfected by the things we suffer for Christ. We are blessed we are free to worship the Lord without fear. Yet persecution is coming, and we too may have to lay down our lives for the Gospel. May the Lord give us the grace when that time comes, and may we say into thy hands I commit my spirit.

Lamount's Hebrews Chapter 2 comment on 4/23/2012, 9:48am...

Hebrews chapter 2, spells out for us the significance God has placed on our being saved by the blood of the lamb. Given the obedience that Jesus confered to us in doing what he did not have to, knowing the cost and sacrifice that awaited him took on a task that no man could begin to understand; gave His life that we might live and not only live but in the by and by get to see not only He who made us but also the Father.

Anthony's Hebrews Chapter 2 comment on 3/20/2012, 1:48am...

By reading this Holy writ, it clearly defines the role of the Lamb of God which taketh away the sins of the World. JESUS was a man and He was a Lamb. It Was God or Jehovah manifested n the flesh. God n flesh.
