Good News Translation GNT
New International Version NIV
5 God has not placed the angels as rulers over the new world to come - the world of which we speak.
5
It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking.
6 Instead, as it is said somewhere in the Scriptures: "What are human beings, O God, that you should think of them; mere human beings, that you should care for them?
6
But there is a place where someone has testified: “What is mankind that you are mindful of them, a son of man that you care for him?
7 You made them for a little while lower than the angels; you crowned them with glory and honor,
7
You made them a little lower than the angels; you crowned them with glory and honor
8 and made them rulers over all things." It says that God made them "rulers over all things"; this clearly includes everything. We do not, however, see human beings ruling over all things now.
8
and put everything under their feet.”In putting everything under them, God left nothing that is not subject to them. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to them.
9 But we do see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels, so that through God's grace he should die for everyone. We see him now crowned with glory and honor because of the death he suffered.
9
But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.
