Jesus is the Source of Our Salvation

For he did not put the coming world we are talking about under the control of angels. Instead, someone has declared somewhere,

“What is man that you should remember him,
    or the son of man that you should care for him?
You made him a little lower than the angels,
    yet you crowned him with glory and honor
and put everything under his feet.”[a]

Now when God[b] put everything under him, he left nothing outside his control. However, at the present time we do not yet see everything put under him.

Jesus Made Fully Human

It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking. But there is a place where someone(A) has testified:

“What is mankind that you are mindful of them,
    a son of man that you care for him?(B)
You made them a little[a] lower than the angels;
    you crowned them with glory and honor
    and put everything under their feet.”[b][c](C)

In putting everything under them,[d] God left nothing that is not subject to them.[e] Yet at present we do not see everything subject to them.[f]
