Hebrews chapter 2

It was first announced by himself, then confirmed to us by those who heard him,while God himself backed it up with , , and all kinds of , along with exactly as he chose.Now, it’s not to angels that God has subjected — which is what we’re really talking about.Someone somewhere: “What are mere humans that you even think about them? What is a that you care for him?You made him than the angels for a short time. You crowned him with and honor.You put everything .” Now when it says God put “everything” under him, that means nothing was left outside his .

That’s why he’s not embarrassed to call them his .He says: “I will to my brothers and sisters.
