Hebrews 1:2-10
New King James Version
2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the [a]worlds; 3 (A)who being the brightness of His glory and the express (B)image of His person, and (C)upholding all things by the word of His power, (D)when He had [b]by Himself [c]purged [d]our sins, (E)sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become so much better than the angels, as (F)He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
The Son Exalted Above Angels
5 For to which of the angels did He ever say:
(G)“You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You”?
And again:
(H)“I will be to Him a Father,
And He shall be to Me a Son”?
6 But when He again brings (I)the firstborn into the world, He says:
(J)“Let all the angels of God worship Him.”
7 And of the angels He says:
(K)“Who makes His angels spirits
And His ministers a flame of fire.”
8 But to the Son He says:
(L)“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;
A [e]scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;
Therefore God, Your God, (M)has anointed You
With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.”
10 And:
(N)“You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth,
And the heavens are the work of Your hands.
