Hebrews 2:2-9

2For the message God delivered through angels has always stood firm, and every violation of the law and every act of disobedience was punished.

3So what makes us think we can escape if we ignore this great salvation that was first announced by the Lord Jesus himself and then delivered to us by those who heard him speak?

4And God confirmed the message by giving signs and wonders and various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit whenever he chose.

5And furthermore, it is not angels who will control the future world we are talking about.

6For in one place the Scriptures say, “What are mere mortals that you should think about them, or a son of man that you should care for him?

7Yet for a little while you made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor.

8You gave them authority over all things.” Now when it says “all things,” it means nothing is left out. But we have not yet seen all things put under their authority.

9What we do see is Jesus, who for a little while was given a position “a little lower than the angels”; and because he suffered death for us, he is now “crowned with glory and honor.” Yes, by God’s grace, Jesus tasted death for everyone.
