Hebrews 1

The Supremacy of the Son

1 {On many} past occasions and in many different ways, God spoke to [our] fathers through the prophets. 2 But in these last days He has spoken to us by [His] Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the universe. 3 [The Son] is [the] radiance of [God’s] glory and [the] exact representation of His nature, upholding all things by His powerful word. [After] He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at [the] right hand of the Majesty on high. 4 [So] He became as far superior to the angels as [the] name He has inherited [is] excellent beyond theirs. 5 For to which of the angels did [God] ever say: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father”? ^{▼▼Psalm 2:7; literal today I have begotten You} [Or] again: “I will be His Father, and He will be My Son”? ^{▼▼2 Samuel 7:14; 1 Chronicles 17:13} 6 And again, when [God] brings [His] firstborn into the world, He says: “ {Let} all God’s angels worship Him.” ^{▼▼Deuteronomy 32:43; see DSS and LXX} 7 Now about the angels He says: “He makes His angels winds, His servants flames of fire.” ^{▼▼Psalm 104:4; see LXX} 8 But about the Son [He says] : “Your throne, O God, [endures] forever and ever, and justice [is] the scepter of Your kingdom. 9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, Your God, { has placed } You above Your companions by anointing [ You ] with [the] oil of joy.” ^{▼▼Psalm 45:6,7} 10 And: “In [the] beginning, O Lord, You laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are [the] work of Your hands. 11 They will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out like a garment. 12 You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment ^{▼▼BYZ and TR do not include like a garment} they will be changed; but You remain the same, and Your years will never end.” ^{▼▼Psalm 102:25-27} 13 Yet to which of the angels did [God] ever say: “Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet”? ^{▼▼Psalm 110:1} 14 Are not [the angels] ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?
