Hebrews 1:3-8

3His Son is the reflection of God’s glory and the exact likeness of God’s being. He holds everything together through his powerful words. After he had cleansed people from their sins, he now holds the honored position—the one next to the majestic God [the Father] on the heavenly throne.

4The Son has become greater than the angels since he has been given a name that is superior to theirs.

5God never said to any of his angels, “You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.” And God never said to any of his angels, “I will be his Father, and he will be my Son.”

6When God was about to send his firstborn Son into the world, he said, “All of God’s angels must worship him.”

7God said about the angels, “He makes his messengers winds. He makes his servants flames of fire.”

8But God said about his Son, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter in your kingdom is a scepter for justice.
