Hebrews 2:6-9
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
6 But someone has testified somewhere,
“What are humans that you are mindful of them[a]
or mortals that you care for them?[b](A)
7 You have made them for a little while lower[c] than the angels;
you have crowned them with glory and honor,[d]
8 subjecting all things under their feet.”
Now in subjecting all things to them, God[e] left nothing outside their control. As it is, we do not yet see everything in subjection to them,(B) 9 but we do see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower[f] than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God[g] he might taste death for everyone.(C)
