Hebrews 1:5–14

⁵God never said to any of the angels,

“You are my Son.

Today I have become your Father.”

Or,

“I will be his Father.

And he will be my Son.”

⁶God’s first and only Son is over all things. When God brings him into the world, he says,

“Let all of God’s angels worship him.”

⁷Here is something else God says about the angels.

“God makes his angels to be like winds.

He makes those who serve him to be like flashes of lightning.”

⁸But here is what he says about the Son.

“You are God. Your throne will last for ever and ever.

Your kingdom will be ruled by what is right.

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

So your God has placed you above your companions.

He has filled you with joy by pouring the sacred oil on your head.”

¹⁰He also says,

“Lord, in the beginning you made the earth secure. You placed it on its foundations.

The heavens are the work of your hands.

¹¹They will pass away. But you remain.

They will all wear out like a piece of clothing.

¹²You will roll them up like a robe.

They will be changed as a person changes clothes.

But you remain the same.

Your years will never end.”

¹³God never said to an angel,

“Sit at my right hand

until I put your enemies

under your control.”

¹⁴All angels are spirits who serve. God sends them to serve those who will receive salvation.
