Hebrews 1:4-12

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.

9You have loved what is right and hated what is wrong. That is why God, your God, anointed you, rather than your companions, with the oil of joy.”

10God also said, “Lord, in the beginning you laid the foundation of the earth. With your own hands you made the heavens.

11They will come to an end, but you will live forever. They will all wear out like clothes.

12They will be taken off like a coat. You will change them like clothes. But you remain the same, and your life will never end.
