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.

    or a son of man[a] that you should care for him?
Yet for a little while you made them a little lower than the angels
    and crowned them with glory and honor.[b]
You gave them authority over all things.”[c]

Now when it says “all things,” it means nothing is left out. But we have not yet seen all things put under their authority.
