Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
