Epistle to the Hebrews

But one has somewhere testified, saying, "What is man, that you think of him? Or the son of man, that you care for him?

You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor.

You have put all things in subjection under his feet." For in that he subjected all things to him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we don't see all things subjected to him, yet.

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.

For it became him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

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,

saying, "I will declare your name to my brothers. In the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise."

Again, "I will put my trust in him." Again, "Behold, here am I and the children whom God has given me."

Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,

and might deliver all of them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

For most assuredly, not to angels does he give help, but he gives help to the seed of Abraham.

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.

For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus;

who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house.

For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who built the house has more honor than the house.
