The Son's Humiliation And Suffering

6 But a certain man has somewhere testified, saying, What is man, that thou remember him? Or a son of man, that thou help him? 7 Thou made him a little something less than the heavenly agents. Thou crowned him with glory and honor. 8 Thou subordinated all things under his feet. For in subordinating all things to him, he left nothing not subordinate to him. But now we do not yet see all things subordinated to him.
