Hebrews 2
1 Therefore we are obligated to be more exceedingly heedful in what we have heard, that we fall not.2 For if the word which was uttered by angels was confirmed, and every one who heard it, and transgressed against it, received a just retribution [fn] , 3 how shall we escape if we despise those (words) which themselves are our salvation? Those [fn] which began by our Lord to be spoken, and by them who from him heard them in us were confirmed, 4 4 when Aloha witnessed concerning them by signs, and by miracles, and by various powers, and by distributed gifts [fn] of the Spirit of Holiness, that were bestowed according to his will.
5
10 14 Forasmuch as the sons have been made to participate in flesh and blood, he also likewise was made a partaker of these very things; that by his death he might abolish him who held the power of death, who is Satana,15 and set loose them who in the fear of death had been all their lives subjected to servitude.16 For not from the angels he took [fn] , but from the seed of Abraham he took. 17 Therefore it was right that in every thing he should be rendered like unto his brethren, that he might be compassionate, and a High Priest faithful in [fn] to Aloha, and become an expiation for the sins of the people. 18 For in this, that he hath suffered and been tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.
