¹ After God spoke long ago in various portions and in various ways to our ancestors through the prophets, ² in these last days he has spoken to us in a son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he created the world. ³ The Son is the radiance of his glory and the representation of his essence, and he sustains all things by his powerful word, and so when he had accomplished cleansing for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. ⁴ Thus he became so far better than the angels as he has inherited a name superior to theirs. ⁵ For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my son! Today I have fathered you"? And in another place he says, "I will be his father and he will be my son." ⁶ But when he again brings his firstborn into the world, he says, "Let all the angels of God worship him!" ⁷ And he says of the angels, " his angels spirits and his ministers a flame of fire," ⁸ but of the Son he says, "is the scepter of your kingdom. ⁹ with the oil of rejoicing." ¹⁰ And, " and the heavens are the works of your hands. ¹¹ And they will all grow old like a garment, ¹² but you are the same and your years will never run out." ¹³ But to which of the angels has he ever said, "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet"? ¹⁴ Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to serve those who will inherit salvation?
