Hebrews 1:5-14 - The Son Superior To The Angels

5 For to which of the angels did He ever say, You are My Son; today I have become Your Father, or again, I will be His Father, and He will be My Son? 6 When He again brings His firstborn into the world, He says, And all God’s angels must worship Him. 7 And about the angels He says:

He makes His angels winds,
and His servants a fiery flame,

8 but to the Son:

Your throne, God,
is forever and ever,
and the scepter of Your kingdom
is a scepter of justice.
9 You have loved righteousness
and hated lawlessness;
this is why God, Your God,
has anointed You
with the oil of joy
rather than Your companions.

10 And:

In the beginning, Lord,
You established the earth,
and the heavens are the works of Your hands;
11 they will perish, but You remain.
They will all wear out like clothing;
12 You will roll them up like a cloak,
and they will be changed like a robe.
But You are the same,
and Your years will never end.

13 Now to which of the angels has He ever said:

Sit at My right hand
until I make Your enemies Your footstool?

14 Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve those who are going to inherit salvation?
