For The Coming World Is Subject To Jesus, Who Tasted Death For All And Was Crowned

⁵ For He^[a] did not subject to angels the coming world concerning which we are speaking. ⁶ But one solemnly-testified somewhere saying, “What is man that You remember^[b] him, or the son^[c] of man that You look-after him? ⁷ You made him lower^[d] than angels for a little^[e] while. You crowned him with glory and honor. ⁸ You subjected all things under his feet” [Ps 8:4-6]. For^[f] in the subjecting all things to him, He left nothing not-subject to him. But now we do not yet see all things having been subjected to him. ⁹ But^[g] we see the One having been made lower than angels for a little while— Jesus— having been crowned with glory and honor because-of the suffering of the death, so-that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.

⁹ the true^[a] Light which gives-light-to^[b] every person was coming into the world.

The World Did Not Accept The Light, But All Who Did Became Children of God

¹⁰ He was in the world, and the world came-into-being through Him, and the world did not know^[c] Him. ¹¹ He came to His own things, and His own ones did not accept Him. ¹² But all who did receive Him, He gave them— the ones believing in His name— the right^[d] to become children of God, ¹³ who were born not of bloods^[e], nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of a husband, but of God^[f].
