Hebrews

Hebrews 2:6–9

⁶But somewhere it is testified in these words:

“What is man that You are mindful of him,

or the son of man that You care for him?

⁷You made him a little lower^a than the angels;

You crowned him with glory and honor^b

⁸and placed everything under his feet.”^c

When God subjected all things to him, He left nothing outside of his control. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to him. ⁹But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because He suffered death, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.
