Hebrews 2:2-9

2After all, the message that the angels brought was reliable, and every violation and act of disobedience was properly punished.

3So how will we escape punishment if we reject the important message, the message that God saved us? First, the Lord told this saving message. Then those who heard him confirmed that message.

4God verified what they said through miraculous signs, amazing things, other powerful acts, and with other gifts from the Holy Spirit as he wanted.

5He didn’t put the world that will come (about which we are talking) under the angels’ control.

6Instead, someone has declared this somewhere in Scripture: “What is a mortal that you should remember him, or the Son of Man  that you take care of him?

7You made him a little lower than the angels. You crowned him with glory and honor.

8You put everything under his control.” When God put everything under his Son’s control, nothing was left out. However, at the present time we still don’t see everything under his Son’s control.

9Jesus was made a little lower than the angels, but we see him crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death. Through God’s kindness  he died on behalf of everyone.
