Hebrews 1:1–5

God’s Final Word: His Son

1 In the past God spokea to our ancestors through the prophetsb at many times and in various ways,c 2 but in these last daysd he has spoken to us by his Son,e whom he appointed heirf of all things, and through whomg also he made the universe.h 3 The Son is the radiance of God’s gloryi and the exact representation of his being,j sustaining all thingsk by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins,l he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.m 4 So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.n

The Son Superior to Angels

5 For to which of the angels did God ever say,

“You are my Son;

today I have become your Father”a?o

Or again,

“I will be his Father,

and he will be my Son”b?p
