In the past God spoke to our fathers by the prophets at many times and in various ways,

He is the radiance of his glory and the exact representation of his being, and upholds all things by the word of his power. When he had made purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the world.

But of the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever, and the righteous scepter is the scepter of your kingdom.

they will perish, but you remain; they will all grow old like a garment,

Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to serve for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?

And again, when God brings the first-born into the world, he says, "Let all God's angels worship him."

you will roll them up like a mantle; and like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will never end."

For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my son, today I have begotten you"? And again, "I will be a father to him and he shall be a son to me"?

And, "You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands;

having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.

Of the angels he says, "Who makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire."

But to which of the angels has he ever said, "Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies a stool for your feet"?

You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your companions."
