Hebrews 2:8

2:8 You put all things under his control.” ¹ 

For when he put all things under his control, he left nothing outside of his control. At present we do not yet see all things under his control, ² 

Hebrews 2:10

2:10 For it was fitting for him, for whom and through whom all things exist, ³  in bringing many sons to glory, to make the pioneer ⁴  of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

¹ tn Grk “you subjected all things under his feet.”

² sn The expression all things under his control occurs three times in 2:8. The latter two occurrences are not exactly identical to the Greek text of Ps 8:6 quoted at the beginning of the verse, but have been adapted by the writer of Hebrews to fit his argument.

³ tn Grk “for whom are all things and through whom are all things.”

⁴ sn The Greek word translated pioneer is used of a “prince” or leader, the representative head of a family. It also carries nuances of “trailblazer,” one who breaks through to new ground for those who follow him. It is used some thirty-five times in the Greek OT and four times in the NT, always of Christ (Acts 3:15; 5:31; Heb 2:10; 12:2).
