² For if the word ^(A)spoken through ^(B)angels proved ^[a]unalterable, and ^(C)every trespass and disobedience received a just ^[b](D)penalty, ^3 (E)how will we escape if we neglect so great a ^(F)salvation? That salvation, first ^(G)spoken by the Lord, was ^(H)confirmed to us by those who heard, ⁴ God also testifying with them, both by ^(I)signs and wonders and by ^(J)various ^[c]miracles and by ^[d](K)gifts of the Holy Spirit ^(L)according to His own will.

Jesus, the Author of Salvation

⁵ For He did not subject to angels ^[e](M)the world to come, concerning which we are speaking. ⁶ But one has testified ^(N)somewhere, saying,

For in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing that is not subject to him. But now ^(R)we do not yet see all things subjected to him. ⁹ But we do see Him who was ^(S)made ^[h]for a little while lower than the angels—Jesus, ^(T)because of the suffering of death ^(U)crowned with glory and honor, so that ^(V)by the grace of God He might ^(W)taste death ^(X)for everyone.

¹⁰ For ^(Y)it was fitting for Him, ^(Z)for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to ^(AA)perfect the ^[i](AB)author of their salvation through sufferings. ¹¹ For both He who ^(AC)sanctifies and those who ^(AD)are being sanctified are all ^(AE)of One; for which reason He is not ashamed to call them ^(AF)brothers, ¹² saying,

¹³ And again,

And again,

¹⁴ Therefore, since the children share in ^[j](AJ)flesh and blood, ^(AK)He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that ^(AL)through death He might render powerless ^(AM)him who had the ^[k]power of death, that is, the devil, ¹⁵ and might free those who through ^(AN)fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives. ¹⁶ For assuredly He does not ^[l]give help to angels, but He gives help to the seed of Abraham. ¹⁷ Therefore, He ^[m]had ^(AO)to be made like His brothers in all things, so that He might ^(AP)become a merciful and faithful ^(AQ)high priest in ^(AR)things pertaining to God, to ^(AS)make propitiation for the sins of the people. ¹⁸ For since He Himself was ^(AT)tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to help those who are tempted.

^28 (A)Anyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy by the mouth of two or three witnesses. ^29 (B)How much worse punishment do you think he will deserve ^(C)who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has regarded as defiled ^(D)the blood of the covenant ^(E)by which he was sanctified, and has ^(F)insulted the Spirit of grace? ³⁰ For we know Him who said, “^(G)Vengeance is Mine, I will repay.” And again, “^(H)The ^[a]Lord will judge His people.” ³¹ It is a ^(I)terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the ^(J)living God.

³² But remember ^(K)the former days, ^[b]when, after being ^(L)enlightened, you endured a great ^(M)conflict of sufferings, ³³ partly by being ^(N)made a public spectacle through reproaches and afflictions, and partly by becoming ^(O)sharers with those who were so treated. ³⁴ For you also ^(P)showed sympathy to the prisoners and accepted with ^(Q)joy the seizure of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves ^(R)a better and lasting possession. ³⁵ Therefore, do not throw away that ^(S)confidence of yours, which has a great ^(T)reward. ³⁶ For you have need of ^(U)endurance, so that when you have ^(V)done the will of God, you may ^(W)receive the promise.

³⁹ But ^[c]we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the ^[d]preserving of the soul.
