And furthermore, it is not angels who will control the future world we are talking about. For in one place the Scriptures say,

    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]

You made him a little lower than the angels,
    yet you crowned him with glory and honor
