For he did not put the coming world we are talking about under the control of angels.

and put everything under his feet."

Now when God put everything under him, he left nothing outside his control. However, at the present time we do not yet see everything put under him. But we do see someone who was made a little lower than the angels. He is Jesus, who is crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might experience death for everyone.

This is why the Messiah is the mediator of a new covenant; so that those who are called may receive the eternal inheritance promised them, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the offenses committed under the first covenant.

In fact, under the Law almost everything is cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of the blood there is no forgiveness.
