The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Hebrews

 1 Therefore we ought to give the more ^aearnest ^bheed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

 2 For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and ^adisobedience received a ^bjust recompence of reward;

 3 How shall we ^aescape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;

 4 God also bearing them witness, both with ^asigns and ^bwonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own ^cwill?

 5 For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.

 6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is ^aman, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?

 7 Thou madest him a little lower than the ^aangels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:

 8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his ^afeet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.

 9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little ^alower than the ^bangels ^cfor the suffering of ^ddeath, ^ecrowned with glory and honour; that he by the ^fgrace of God should taste ^gdeath for every man.

 10 For ^ait became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all ^bthings, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the ^ccaptain of their salvation ^dperfect through sufferings.

 11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are ^asanctified are all of ^bone: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them ^cbrethren,

 12 Saying, I will declare thy ^aname unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.

 13 And again, I will put my ^atrust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.

 14 ^aForasmuch then as the children are partakers of ^bflesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might ^cdestroy him that had the power of ^ddeath, that is, the ^edevil;

 15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to ^abondage.

 16 For verily he took not on him the nature of ^aangels; but he took on him the ^bseed of Abraham.

 17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make ^areconciliation for the sins of the people.

 18 For in that he himself hath suffered being ^atempted, he is able to ^bsuccour them that are tempted.
