Hebrews 2:5-8
New International Version

Jesus Made Fully Human

5 It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking. 6 But there is a place where someone(A) has testified:

“What is mankind that you are mindful of them,
    a son of man that you care for him?(B)
7 You made them a little[a] lower than the angels;
    you crowned them with glory and honor
8     and put everything under their feet.”[b][c](C)

In putting everything under them,[d] God left nothing that is not subject to them.[e] Yet at present we do not see everything subject to them.[f]

Hebrews 2:5-8
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

Exaltation through Abasement

5 Now God[a] did not subject the coming world, about which we are speaking, to angels.(A) 6 But someone has testified somewhere,

“What are humans that you are mindful of them[b]
    or mortals that you care for them?[c](B)
7 You have made them for a little while lower[d] than the angels;
    you have crowned them with glory and honor,[e]
8     subjecting all things under their feet.”

Now in subjecting all things to them, God[f] left nothing outside their control. As it is, we do not yet see everything in subjection to them,(C)
