Hebrews
2:1-18
[1]
Because of this we have to pay more attention to what we have heard,
lest we drift away.
[2] For if
the word spoken through messengers proved to be firm, and every transgression
and disobedience received a right reward,
[3] how
shall we escape if we neglect so great a deliverance, which first began to be
spoken by the Master, and was confirmed to us by those that heard,
[4] Elohim
also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and
gifts of the Set-apart Spirit, distributed according to His own desire?
[5] For it
is not to messengers that He has subjected the world to come, concerning which
we speak.
[6] But
somewhere one has witnessed, saying, “What is man that You remember him, or the
son of man that You look after him?
[7] “You
have made him a little lower than the messengers.1
You have crowned him with esteem and respect, and set him over the works of
Your hands. Footnote: 1According to the
Greek text. However, this is quoted from Ps. 8:5 which reads Elohim,
which makes more sense.
[8] “You
have put all in subjection under his feet.” For in that He put all in
subjection under him, He left none that is not subjected to him. But now we do
not yet see all subjected to him.
[9] But we
do see Him who was made for a little while lower than the messengers, יהושע, because of
the suffering of death crowned with esteem and respect, that by the favour of
Elohim He should taste death for everyone.
[10] For it was
fitting for Him, because of whom all are and through whom all are, in bringing
many sons to esteem, to make the Princely Leader of their deliverance perfect
through sufferings.
[11] For both He who
sets apart and those who are being set apart are all of One, for which reason
He is not ashamed to call them brothers,
[12] saying, “I shall announce Your Name to My brothers,1
in the midst of the congregation I shall sing praise to You.” Footnote: 1Ps. 22:22, Ps. 45:17, John 17:6 &
26.
[13] And again, “I
shall put My trust in Him.” And again, “See, I and the children whom Elohim
gave Me.”
[14] Therefore, since
the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself similarly shared in the same,
so that by means of His death He might destroy him having the power of death,
that is, the devil,
[15] and deliver those
who throughout life were held in slavery by fear of death.
[16] For, doubtless,
He does not take hold of messengers, but He does take hold of the seed of Aḇraham.
[17] So in every way
He had to be made like His brothers, in order to become a compassionate and
trustworthy High Priest in matters related to Elohim, to make atonement for the
sins of the people.
[18] For in what He
had suffered, Himself being tried, He is able to help those who are tried.
Colossians
2:6-10
[6]
Therefore, as you accepted Messiah יהושע the Master, walk in Him,
[7] having been
rooted and built up in Him, and established in the belief, as you were taught,
overflowing in it with thanksgiving.
[8] See to it that no
one makes a prey of you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the
tradition of men, according to the elementary matters
of the world,1 and not according to Messiah. Footnote: 1See v. 20, and Gal. 4:3 & 9.
[9] Because in Him
dwells all the completeness of the Mightiness bodily,
[10] and you have been
made complete in Him, who is the Head of all principality and authority.
Ephesians
3:19-21
[19] to
know the love of Messiah which surpasses knowledge, in order that you might be
filled to all the completeness of Elohim.
[20] And to
Him who is able to do exceedingly above what we ask or think, according to the
power that is working in us,
[21] to Him
be esteem in the assembly by Messiah יהושע unto all generations, for ever and
ever. Amĕn.
