Hebrews 2:8-13

New International Version

⁸ and put everything under their feet.”^[a]^[b]^(A)

In putting everything under them,^[c] God left nothing that is not subject to them.^[d] Yet at present we do not see everything subject to them.^[e] ⁹But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor^(B) because he suffered death,^(C) so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.^(D)

¹⁰In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists,^(E) should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered.^(F) ¹¹Both the one who makes people holy^(G) and those who are made holy^(H) are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters.^[f]^(I) ¹²He says,

“I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters;
in the assembly I will sing your praises.”^[g]^(J)

¹³And again,

“I will put my trust in him.”^[h]^(K)

And again he says,

“Here am I, and the children God has given me.”^[i]^(L)

International Standard Version

⁸and put everything under his feet.”^[a]

Now when God^[b] put everything under him, he left nothing outside his control. However, at the present time we do not yet see everything put under him. ⁹But we do see someone who was made a little lower than the angels. He is Jesus, who is crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of^[c] God he might experience^[d] death for everyone.

¹⁰It was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through suffering as part of his plan to glorify many children, ¹¹because both the one who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified all have the same Father.^[e] That is why Jesus^[f] is not ashamed to call them brothers ¹²when he says, “I will announce your name to my brothers. I will praise you within the congregation.”^[g] ¹³And again, “I will trust him.”^[h] And again, “I am here with the children God has given me.”^[i]
