Hebrews 1:1-9

1Long ago God spoke to our ancestors by the prophets at different times and in different ways.

2In these last days, he has spoken to us by his Son. God has appointed him heir of all things and made the universe through him.

3The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact expression of his nature, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.

4So he became superior to the angels, just as the name he inherited is more excellent than theirs.

5For 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?

6Again, when he brings his firstborn into the world, he says, And let all God’s angels worship him.

7And about the angels he says: He makes his angels winds, and his servants a fiery flame,

8but to the Son: Your throne, God, is forever and ever, and the scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of justice.

9You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; this is why God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of joy beyond your companions.
