Hebrews 2:2-9

2For if the word 1spoken through 2angels proved 3unalterable, and 4every violation and act of disobedience received a just 5 6punishment, 3 7how will we escape if we neglect so great a 8salvation? 9After it was at first 10spoken through the Lord, it was 11confirmed to us by those who heard, 4God also testifying with them, both by 12signs and wonders, and by 13various 14miracles and by 15 16gifts of the Holy Spirit 17according to His own will.

5For He did not subject to angels 18 19the world to come, about which we are speaking. 6But someone has testified 20somewhere, saying, “21What is man, that You think of him? Or a son of man, that You are concerned about him?7 22You have made him 23for a little while lower than angels; You have crowned him with glory and honor24;8 25You have put everything in subjection under his feet.” For in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing that is not subject to him. But now 26we do not yet see all things subjected to him. 9But we do see Him who was 27made 28for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, 29because of His suffering death 30crowned with glory and honor, so that 31by the grace of God He might 32taste death 33for everyone.
