Common English Bible CEB
New Revised Standard NRS
5 God didn't put the world that is coming (the world we are talking about) under the angels' control.
5
Now God did not subject the coming world, about which we are speaking, to angels.
6 Instead, someone declared somewhere, What is humanity that you think about them? Or what are the human beings that you care about them?
6
But someone has testified somewhere, "What are human beings that you are mindful of them, or mortals, that you care for them?
7 For a while you made them lower than angels. You crowned the human beings with glory and honor.
7
You have made them for a little while lower than the angels; you have crowned them with glory and honor,
8 You put everything under their control. When he puts everything under their control, he doesn't leave anything out of control. But right now, we don't see everything under their control yet.
8
subjecting all things under their feet." Now in subjecting all things to them, God left nothing outside their control. As it is, we do not yet see everything in subjection to them,
9 However, we do see the one who was made lower in order than the angels for a little while—it's Jesus! He's the one who is now crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of his death. He suffered death so that he could taste death for everyone through God's grace.
9
but we do see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.
10 It was appropriate for God, for whom and through whom everything exists, to use experiences of suffering to make perfect the pioneer of salvation. This salvation belongs to many sons and daughters whom he's leading to glory.
10
It was fitting that God, for whom and through whom all things exist, in bringing many children to glory, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
11 This is because the one who makes people holy and the people who are being made holy all come from one source. That is why Jesus isn't ashamed to call them brothers and sisters when he says,
11
For the one who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one Father. For this reason Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters,
12 I will publicly announce your name to my brothers and sisters. I will praise you in the middle of the assembly.
12
saying, "I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters, in the midst of the congregation I will praise you."
