Jesus | His People |

9but we see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honour because he suffered death, so that by God’s grace he would experience death | on behalf of everyone. |
10For it was fitting for him, for whom and through whom all things exist, to make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through sufferings. | in bringing many sons to glory, |
11For indeed he who makes holy | and those being made holy all have the same origin, |
and so he is not ashamed | to call them brothers and sisters, |
12saying, “I will proclaim your name I will praise you.” | to my brothers; in the midst of the assembly |
13Again he says, “I will be confident in him,” and again, “Here I am, | with the children God has given me.” |
he likewise shared in their humanity, | 14Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, |
so that through death he could destroy the one who holds the power of death (that is, the devil), | 15and set free those who were held in slavery all their lives by their fear of death. |
16For surely it is not for angels he is concerned, | but for Abraham’s descendants. |
17Therefore he had to be made | like his brothers and sisters in every respect, |
so that he could become a merciful and faithful high priest in things relating to God, | to make atonement for the sins of the people. |
18For since he himself suffered when he was tempted, | he is able to help those who are tempted. |
1Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, partakers in a heavenly calling, take note of Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess,
Jesus | Moses |
---|---|
2who is faithful to the one who appointed him, | as Moses was also in God’s house. |
3For he has come to deserve greater glory | than Moses, |
just as the builder of a house deserves greater honour | than the house itself! |
4For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God. | |
6But Christ is faithful as a son over God’s house. | 5Now Moses was faithful in all God’s house as a servant, to testify to the things that would be spoken. |
We are of his house, if in fact we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope we take pride in. |
