New International Reader's Version NIRV
New International Version NIV
5 God has not put angels in charge of the world that is going to come. We are talking about that world.
5
It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking.
6 There is a place where someone has given witness to it. He said, "What is a human being that you think about him? What is the son of man that you take care of him?
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 him a little lower than the angels. You placed on him a crown of glory and honor.
7
You made them a little lower than the angels; you crowned them with glory and honor
8 You have put everything under his control." (Psalm 8:4-6) So God has put everything under him. Everything is under his control. We do not now see everything under his control.
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 already given a crown of glory and honor. He was made a little lower than the angels. He suffered death. By the grace of God, he tasted death for everyone. That is why he was given his crown.
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.
