Hebrews 2:5-14

New American Standard Bible

Earth Subject to Man

⁵For He did not subject to angels ^[a]^(A)the world to come, about which we are speaking. ⁶But someone has testified ^(B)somewhere, saying,

“^(C)What is man, that You think of him?
Or a son of man, that You are concerned about him?
⁷^(D)You have made him ^[b]for a little while lower than angels;
You have crowned him with glory and honor^[c];
⁸^(E)You have put everything in subjection under his feet.”

For in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing that is not subject to him. But now ^(F)we do not yet see all things subjected to him.

Jesus Briefly Humbled

⁹But we do see Him who was ^(G)made ^[d]for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, ^(H)because of His suffering death ^(I)crowned with glory and honor, so that ^(J)by the grace of God He might ^(K)taste death ^(L)for everyone.

¹⁰For ^(M)it was fitting for Him, ^(N)for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to ^(O)perfect the ^[e]^(P)originator of their salvation through sufferings. ¹¹For both He who ^(Q)sanctifies and those who ^(R)are ^[f]sanctified are all ^(S)from one Father; for this reason He is not ashamed to call them ^(T)brothers and sisters, ¹²saying,

“^(U)I will proclaim Your name to My brothers,
In the midst of the assembly I will sing Your praise.”

¹³And again,

“^(V)I will put My trust in Him.”

And again,

“^(W)Behold, I and the children whom God has given Me.”

¹⁴Therefore, since the children share in ^[g]^(X)flesh and blood, ^(Y)He Himself likewise also partook of the same, so that ^(Z)through death He might destroy ^(AA)the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil,
