(ESV)
For I
think that
God has
exhibited us apostles as last of all, like men sentenced to
death,
because we have
become a
spectacle to the
world, to
angels,
and to
men.

descended is the one who
also ascended far above all the
heavens,
that he might
fill all things.)

but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe.

spoken to
us by his
Son,

appointed the
heir of
all things,
through whom also he
created the

radiance of the
glory of God
and the
exact imprint of
his nature,

his power.

making purification for
sins,
he
sat down at the
right hand of the
Majesty on high,

By
faith we
understand that the

created by the
word of
God,

not made out of things that are
visible.
