Hebrews 1:1-4
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
God Has Spoken by His Son
1 Long ago God spoke to our ancestors in many and various ways by the prophets, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son,[a] whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom he also created the worlds.(A) 3 He is the reflection of God’s glory and the exact imprint of God’s very being, and he sustains[b] all things by his powerful word.

Hebrews 1:8-12
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
8 But of the Son he says,
“Your throne, O God, is[a] forever and ever,
and the scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your[b] kingdom.(A)
9 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;[c]
therefore God, your God, has anointed you
with the oil of gladness beyond your companions.”(B)
10 And,
“In the beginning, Lord, you founded the earth,
and the heavens are the work of your hands;(C)
11 they will perish, but you remain;
they will all wear out like clothing;(D)
12 like a cloak you will roll them up,
and like clothing[d] they will be changed.
But you are the same,
and your years will never end.”
