For not unto angels (ou gar aggelois). The author now proceeds to show (Heb 2:5-18) that the very humanity of Jesus, the Son of Man, likewise proves his superiority to angels.

The world to come (tēn oikoumenēn tēn mellousan). The new order, the salvation just described. See a like use of mellō (as participle) with sōtēria (Heb 1:14), aiōn (Heb 6:4.), agatha (Heb 9:11; Heb 10:1), polis (Heb 13:14).

Whereof we speak (peri hēs laloumen). The author is discussing this new order introduced by Christ which makes obsolete the old dispensation of rites and symbols. God did not put this new order in charge of angels.
