V 001 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things
which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
V 002 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every
transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;
V 003 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at
the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by
them that heard him;
V 004 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and
with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own
will?
V 005 For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to
come, whereof we speak.
V 006 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that
thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest him?
V 007 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him
with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:
V 008 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that
he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put
under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.
V 009 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for
the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the
grace of God should taste death for every man.
V 010 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all
things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their
salvation perfect through sufferings.
V 011 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all
of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
V 012 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of
the church will I sing praise unto thee.
V 013 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the
children which God hath given me.
V 014 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood,
he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he
might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
V 015 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime
subject to bondage.
V 016 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on
him the seed of Abraham.
V 017 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his
brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things
pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
V 018 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to
succour them that are tempted. |

الخلاص العظيم
1-
لذلِكَ يَجبُ أنْ نتَمَسَّكَ جيِّدًا بالتَّعاليمِ التي
سَمِعناها لِئلاّ نَضِلَ.
2-
فالكلامُ الذي جاءَنا على لِسانِ
المَلائكَةِ ثبَتَ صِدقُهُ، فنالَ كُلُّ مَنْ خالَفَهُ أو
عَصاهُ جَزاءَهُ العادِلَ.
3-
فكيفَ نَنجو نَحنُ إذا أهمَلْنا
مِثلَ هذا الخَلاصِ العَظيمِ؟ أعلَنَهُ الرَّبُّ نَفسُهُ
أوَّلاً، وأثبَتَهُ لنا الذينَ سَمِعوهُ،
4-
وأيَّدَ الله
شَهاداتِهِم بآياتٍ وعَجائِبَ ومُعجِزاتٍ مُختَلِفَةٍ،
وبهِباتِ الرُّوحِ القُدُسِ يُوَزِّعُها كما يَشاءُ.
قائدنا المسيح
5-
والله ما أخضَعَ لِلمَلائكَةِ العالَمَ المُقبِلَ الذي
نَتكَلَّمُ علَيهِ،
6-
فشَهِدَ بَعضُهُم في مكانٍ مِنَ الكُتُبِ المُقَدَّسَةِ: «ما
هوَ الإنسانُ يا الله حتى تَذكُرَه؟ وما هوَ اَبنُ آدَمَ حتى
تَفتقدَه؟
7-
نقَّصتَهُ حينًا عنِ المَلائكَةِ، وكَلَّلتَهُ بالمَجدِ
والكَرامَةِ،
8-
وأخضَعتَ كُلَ شيءٍ تَحتَ قَدمَيهِ«.
فإذا كانَ الله أخضَعَ لَه كُلَ شيءٍ فلا يكونُ تَرَكَ شيئًا
غَيرَ خاضِعِ لَه. ولكنَّنا لا نَرى الآنَ أنَّ كُلَ شيءٍ
أُخضِعَ لَه.
9-
ولكنَ ذاكَ الذي جعَلَهُ الله حينًا دونَ
المَلائِكَةِ، أَعني يَسوعَ، نَراهُ مُكَلَّلاً بِالمَجدِ
والكرامَةِ لأنَّهُ اَحتَمَلَ ألَمَ المَوتِ، وكانَ
علَيهِ أنْ يَذوقَ المَوتَ بنِعمَةِ الله لِخَيرِ
كُلِّ إنسانٍ.
10-
نعم، كانَ مِنَ الخَيرِ أنَّ الله الذي مِنْ
أجلِهِ كُلُّ شيءٍ وبِه كُلُّ شيءٍ، حينَ أرادَ أنْ
يَهديَ إلى المَجدِ كثيرًا مِنَ الأبناءِ، جعَلَ
قائِدَهُم إلى الخَلاصِ كامِلاً بالآلامِ،
11-
لأنَّ
الذي يُقدِّسُ والذينَ تَقَدَّسوا لهُم أصْلٌ واحدٌ،
فلا يَستَحي أنْ يَدعُوَهُم إخوَةً،
12-
فيَقولُ:
«سأُبشِّرُ بِاَسمِكَ إخوَتي وأُسَبِّحُكَ في
الجَماعَةِ«.
13-
ويَقولُ أيضًا: «على الله اَتِّكالي«،
وأيضًا: «ها أنا معَ الأبناءِ الذينَ وهَبَهُمُ الله
لي«.
14-
ولمَّا كانَ الأبناءُ شُركاءَ في اللَّحمِ
والدَّمِ، شاركَهُم يَسوعُ كذلِكَ في طَبيعتِهِم
هذِهِ لِيَقضيَ بِمَوتِهِ على الذي في يدِهِ سُلطانُ
المَوتِ، أي إبليسَ،
15-
ويُحَرِّرَ الذينَ كانوا
طَوالَ حَياتِهِم في العُبودِيَّةِ خَوفًا مِنَ
المَوتِ.
16-
جاءَ لا ليُساعِدَ المَلائكَةَ، بَل
ليُساعِدَ نَسلَ إبراهيمَ.
17-
فكانَ علَيهِ أنْ
يُشابِهَ إخوتَهُ في كُلِّ شيءٍ، حتَّى يكونَ رئيسَ
كهنةٍ، رَحيمًا أمينًا في خِدمَةِ الله، فيُكَفِّرَ
عَنْ خَطايا الشَّعبِ،
18-
لأنَّهُ هوَ نَفسُهُ
تألَّمَ بِالتَجرِبَةِ، فأمكنَهُ أنْ يُعينَ
المُجَرَّبينَ.
