Hebrews 2 : 1 (ERVEN)
So we must be more careful to follow what we were taught. We must be careful so that we will not be pulled away from the true way.

The teaching that God spoke through angels was shown to be true. And every time his people did something against that teaching, they were punished for what they did. They were punished when they did not obey that teaching.

So surely we also will be punished if we don't pay attention to the salvation we have that is so great. It was the Lord Jesus who first told people about it. And those who heard him proved to us that it is true.

Hebrews 2 : 10 (ERVEN)
God�the one who made all things and for whose glory all things exist� wanted many people to be his children and share his glory. So he did what he needed to do. He made perfect the one who leads those people to salvation. He made Jesus a perfect Savior through his suffering.

Jesus, the one who makes people holy, and those who are made holy are from the same family. So he is not ashamed to call them his brothers and sisters.
Hebrews 2 : 12 (ERVEN)

Hebrews 2 : 13 (ERVEN)
He also says, "I will trust in God." And he says, "I am here, and with me are the children God has given me."
Hebrews 2 : 14 (ERVEN)
These children are people with physical bodies. So Jesus himself became like them and had the same experiences they have. Jesus did this so that, by dying, he could destroy the one who has the power of death�the devil.

And now he can help those who are tempted. He is able to help because he himself suffered and was tempted.
