Hebrews 2:8-10
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
8 You subjected all things under his feet” [Ps 8:4-6]. For[a] in the subjecting all things to him, He left nothing not-subject to him. But now we do not yet see all things having been subjected to him. 9 But[b] we see the One having been made lower than angels for a little while— Jesus— having been crowned with glory and honor because-of the suffering of the death, so-that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.
For It Was Fitting For God To Perfect The Author of Salvation Through Sufferings
10 For it was fitting[c] for Him[d] for-the-sake-of Whom are all things and through Whom are all things, that in bringing many sons to glory He should perfect[e] the Author[f] of their salvation through sufferings.
