Jesus, the Author of Salvation

For He did not subject to angels [a](A)the world to come, concerning which we are speaking. But one has testified (B)somewhere, saying,

(C)What is man, that You remember him?
Or the son of man, that You are concerned about him?
(D)You have made [b]him for a little while lower than the angels;
You have crowned him with glory and honor,
[c]And have appointed him over the works of Your hands;
(E)You have put all things 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.

God Put Everything Under His Control

For God did not place the coming world, about which we are speaking, under the control of angels. But there is a place where someone has testified:

What is man that you remember him,
or the Son of Man[a] that you look after him?
You made him lower than the angels for a little while.[b]
You crowned him with glory and honor.[c]
You put everything in subjection under his feet.[d]

Indeed, in putting everything in subjection to him, God left nothing that is not in subjection to him. At the present time, we do not yet see everything in subjection to him.
