Ibrani 2:9

2:9 but we see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, ¹  now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, ²  so that by God’s grace he would experience ³  death on behalf of everyone.

Ibrani 7:11

Jesus and the Priesthood of Melchizedek

7:11 So if perfection had in fact been possible through the Levitical priesthood – for on that basis ⁴  the people received the law – what further need would there have been for another priest to arise, said to be in the order of Melchizedek and not in Aaron’s order?

Ibrani 11:13

11:13 These all died in faith without receiving the things promised, ⁵  but they saw them in the distance and welcomed them and acknowledged that they were strangers and foreigners ⁶  on the earth.

Ibrani 12:25

12:25 Take care not to refuse the one who is speaking! For if they did not escape when they refused the one who warned them on earth, how much less shall we, if we reject the one who warns from heaven?

[2:9]  ¹ tn Or “who was made a little lower than the angels.”

[2:9]  ² tn Grk “because of the suffering of death.”

[2:9]  ³ tn Grk “would taste.” Here the Greek verb does not mean “sample a small amount” (as a typical English reader might infer from the word “taste”), but “experience something cognitively or emotionally; come to know something” (cf. BDAG 195 s.v. γεύομαι 2).

[7:11]  ⁴ tn Grk “based on it.”

[11:13]  ⁵ tn Grk “the promises,” referring to the things God promised, not to the pledges themselves.

[11:13]  ⁶ tn Or “sojourners.”
