Hebrews 2:3-9

English Standard Version

³^(A)how shall we escape if we ^(B)neglect such a great salvation? It was ^(C)declared at first by the Lord, and it was ^(D)attested to us ^(E)by those who heard, ⁴^(F)while God also bore witness ^(G)by signs and wonders and various miracles and by ^(H)gifts of the Holy Spirit ^(I)distributed according to his will.

The Founder of Salvation

⁵For it was not to angels that God subjected the world ^(J)to come, of which we are speaking. ⁶It has been testified somewhere,

^(K)“What is man, that you are mindful of him,
    or the son of man, that you care for him?
⁷You made him for a little while lower than the angels;
    you have crowned him with glory and honor,^[a]
⁸    putting everything in subjection under his feet.”

Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside his control. At present, ^(L)we do not yet see everything in subjection to him. ⁹But we see him ^(M)who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, ^(N)crowned with glory and honor ^(O)because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might ^(P)taste death ^(Q)for everyone.
