Hebrews 2:5-8

English Standard Version

The Founder of Salvation

⁵For it was not to angels that God subjected the world ^(A)to come, of which we are speaking. ⁶It has been testified somewhere,

^(B)“What is man, that you are mindful of him,
    or the son of man, that you care for him?
⁷You made him for a little while lower than the angels;
    you have crowned him with glory and honor,^[a]
⁸    putting everything in subjection under his feet.”

Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside his control. At present, ^(C)we do not yet see everything in subjection to him.
