“You have put all things in subjection under his feet.” And in that He has put all things in subjection under him, He left nothing that should not be subject to him. But we still do not see all things subjected to him.

But we see Jesus, who was made little inferior to the angels, crowned with glory and honor through the suffering of death. That by God’s grace He might taste death for everyone.

10 For it became Him for Whom all these things are - and by Whom all these things are (seeing that He brought many children to glory) - that He should consecrate the Author of their salvation through afflictions.

11 For He Who sanctifies, and those who are sanctified, are all of one. Therefore, He is not ashamed to call them brothers,

12 saying, “I will declare Your Name to My brothers. In the midst of the Church I will sing praises to You.”

13 And again, “I will put My trust in Him.” And again, “Behold, here I am, and the children whom God has given Me.”

In putting everything under them,[c] God left nothing that is not subject to them.[d] Yet at present we do not see everything subject to them.[e] But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor(B) because he suffered death,(C) so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.(D)

10 In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists,(E) should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered.(F) 11 Both the one who makes people holy(G) and those who are made holy(H) are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters.[f](I) 12 He says,

“I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters;
    in the assembly I will sing your praises.”[g](J)

13 And again,

“I will put my trust in him.”[h](K)

And again he says,

“Here am I, and the children God has given me.”[i](L)
