The Founder of Salvation

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

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

Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside his control. At present, (C)we do not yet see everything in subjection to him.

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]
