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?

Now to which of the angels has He ever said:

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

Watch out, brothers, so that there won’t be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart that departs from the living God.

so that through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to seize the hope set before us.

For the One these things are spoken about belonged to a different tribe. No one from it has served at the altar.
