Hebrews 2:6-15 American Standard Version (ASV)

6. But one hath somewhere testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? Or the son of man, that thou visitest him?

7. Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; Thou crownedst him with glory and honor, And didst set him over the works of thy hands:

8. Thou didst put all things in subjection under his feet.

9. But we behold him who hath been made a little lower than the angels, even Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for every man.

10. For it became him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

11. For both he that sanctifieth and they that are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

12. saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, In the midst of the congregation will I sing thy praise.

13. And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold, I and the children whom God hath given me.

14. Since then the children are sharers in flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same; that through death he might bring to nought him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

15. and might deliver all them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
