1:1 In previous times, God spoke to our ancestors in many and various ways through the Prophets,
1:2 but in these last days he has spoken to us through his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things and through whom he created the universe.
1:3 He is the reflection of God’s glory and the perfect expression of his very being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. Achieving purification from sins, he took his seat at the right hand of the Majesty on high.
1:4 So he became as far superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.
1:5 For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son; this day I have begotten you”? Or again, “I will be his Father, and he will be my Son”?
1:6 And again, when he brings his firstborn into the world, he says, “Let all the angels of God pay him homage.”
1:7 Of the angels he says, “He makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire.”
1:8 But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, and a righteous scepter is the scepter of your kingdom.
1:9 You have loved righteousness and detested wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness far above your companions.”
1:10 He also says, “In the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands
1:11 They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment.
1:12 You will roll them up like a cloak; like a garment they will be changed. But you are ever the same, and your years will have no end.”
1:13 But to which of the angels has he ever said, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool”?
1:14 Are not all angels ministering spirits sent forth to serve for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
