Hebrews 1:5–14

The Son Superior to Angels

⁵For 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

⁶And again, when God brings his firstborn^q into the world,^r he says,

“Let all God’s angels worship him.”^cs

⁷In speaking of the angels he says,

“He makes his angels spirits,

and his servants flames of fire.”^dt

⁸But about the Son he says,

“Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever;^u

a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.

⁹You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;

therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions^v

by anointing you with the oil^w of joy.”^ex

¹⁰He also says,

“In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth,

and the heavens are the work of your hands.^y

¹¹They will perish, but you remain;

they will all wear out like a garment.^z

¹²You will roll them up like a robe;

like a garment they will be changed.

But you remain the same,^a

and your years will never end.”^fb

¹³To which of the angels did God ever say,

“Sit at my right hand^c

until I make your enemies

a footstool^d for your feet”^g?^e

¹⁴Are not all angels ministering spirits^f sent to serve those who will inherit^g salvation?^h
