Hebrews 1:5–14

⁵God never said to any of his angels, 

“You are my Son. 

Today I have become your Father.” 

And God never said to any of his angels, 

“I will be his Father, 

and he will be my Son.” 

⁶When God was about to send his firstborn Son into the world, he said, 

“All of God’s angels must worship him.” 

⁷God said about the angels, 

“He makes his messengers winds. 

He makes his servants flames of fire.” 

⁸But God said about his Son, 

“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. 

The scepter in your kingdom is a scepter for justice. 

⁹You have loved what is right and hated what is wrong. 

That is why God, your God, 

anointed you, rather than your companions, with the oil of joy.” 

¹⁰God also said, 

“Lord, in the beginning you laid the foundation of the earth. 

With your own hands you made the heavens. 

¹¹They will come to an end, but you will live forever. 

They will all wear out like clothes. 

¹²They will be taken off like a coat. 

You will change them like clothes. 

But you remain the same, and your life will never end. 

¹³But God never said to any of the angels, 

“Take the honored position—the one next to me on the heavenly throne 

until I put your enemies under your control.” 

¹⁴What are all the angels? They are spirits sent to serve those who are going to receive salvation.
