THE WORLD TO COME

 

5 It is not to Angels

That He has subjected the World To Come,

About which we are speaking.

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 a little lower than the Angels;

You Crowned them with Glory and Honor

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 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.

10 In Bringing many sons and daughters to Glory,

It was Fitting that God,

For Whom and through Whom Everything Exists,

Should make the Pioneer of their Salvation Perfect

Through what He Suffered.

11 Both the One who makes people Holy

And those who are made Holy

Are of the same Family.

So Jesus is not Ashamed

To call them brothers and sisters.

12 He says:

I will declare Your name to My brothers and sisters;

In the Assembly I will sing Your praises

13 And again:

I will put My Trust in Him.

And again:

Here am I and the Children God has given Me.

(Hebrews 2: 5-13, NIV)
