while God added his testimony by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, distributed according to his will.(A)

Exaltation through Abasement

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

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

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

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]
