J. N. Darby Translation

9

but we see Jesus, who was made some little inferior to angelsd on account of the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; so thate by the grace of God he should taste death for every thingf.

JND Translation Notes

+

d

Or "him who was made ... angels, [even] Jesus." see Ps. 8.5.

e

The "so that" is an appended sentence. "he was made lower ... so that." Ver. 10 justifies his being made lower for suffering death. The crowning is the accomplishment of the Psalm.

f

Or "every one."

W. Kelly Translation

+

9

but we behold Jesus that was made some little less than angelsa on account of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honour; so that by God’s grace he should taste of death for everythingb.

WK Translation Notes

+

a

We have no need to say "the" angels in verse 9 as in 7; it is not a question of the whole class, but of beings thus characterized. Our language allows of this corresponding precision.

b

Or, "every one." It is certain that hyper pantos means "for every man," Why not for every [thing]? It is not that there is the least dogmatic difficulty as to all mankind, at least for one who applies Christ’s death for all in {vi 28892}{/vi}, as His death through and for sin, rather than to it, which last is exclusively true of believers. It is a question only of what best suits the context.
