Hebrews 2:7–15

7 You made them a littlea lower than the angels;

you crowned them with glory and honor

8 and put everything under their feet.”b,c u

In putting everything under them,d God left nothing that is not subject to them.e Yet at present we do not see everything subject to them.f 9 But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honorv because he suffered death,w so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.x

10 In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists,y should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered.z 11 Both the one who makes people holya and those who are made holyb are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters.g c 12 He says,

“I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters;

in the assembly I will sing your praises.”h d

13 And again,

“I will put my trust in him.”i e

And again he says,

“Here am I, and the children God has given me.”j f

14 Since the children have flesh and blood,g he too shared in their humanityh so that by his death he might break the poweri of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devilj—15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their feark of death.
