Hebrews 2:5–13

The Founder of Salvation

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

^m“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,¹

⁸putting everything in subjection under his feet.”

Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside his control. At present, ⁿwe do not yet see everything in subjection to him. ⁹But we see him ^owho for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, ^pcrowned with glory and honor ^qbecause of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might ^rtaste death ^sfor everyone.

¹⁰For it ^twas fitting that he, ^ufor whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons ^vto glory, should make the ^wfounder of their salvation ^xperfect through suffering. ¹¹For ^yhe who sanctifies and ^zthose who are sanctified ^aall have one source.² That is why he is not ashamed to call them ^bbrothers,^{3 12}saying,

^c“I will tell of your name to my brothers;

in the midst of the ^dcongregation I will sing your praise.”

¹³And again,

^e“I will put my trust in him.”

And again,

^f“Behold, I and the children ^gGod has given me.”
