Hebrews 2:5-9

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.

Hebrews 2:14-16

New American Standard Bible

¹⁴Therefore, since the children share in ^[a]^(A)flesh and blood, ^(B)He Himself likewise also partook of the same, so that ^(C)through death He might destroy ^(D)the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, ¹⁵and free those who through ^(E)fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives. ¹⁶For clearly He does not ^[b]give help to angels, but He gives help to the ^[c]descendants of Abraham.
