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

³ sn The phrase the world to come means “the coming inhabited earth,” using the Greek term which describes the world of people and their civilizations.

⁴ sn See the previous reference to the world in Heb 1:6.

⁵ tn Grk “the promises,” referring to the things God promised, not to the pledges themselves.
