1 In many portions and in many ways long ago, God, having spoken to the fathers in the prophets, VP
2 in these last days spoke to us in [His] Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the ages, VP
3 who, being [the] radiance of [His] glory and [the] exact imprint of His substance and bearing all things by the word of power—through His having made purification of sins—sat down at [the] right hand of the Majesty on high, VP
4 having become so much better than the angels, as much as He has inherited a name more excellent beyond theirs. VP
5 For to which of the angels did He ever say: “You are My Son; today I have begotten You”? And again: “I will be to Him for a Father, and He will be to Me for a Son”? VP
6 And again, when He brings the firstborn into the world, He says: “And let all angels of God worship Him.” VP
7 And indeed to the angels He says: “The [One] making His angels winds, and His ministers a flame of fire.” VP
8 But to the Son: “Your throne, O God, [is] to the age of the age, and the scepter of uprightness [is] [the] scepter of Your kingdom. VP
9 You loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; because of this, God, Your God, anointed You with [the] oil of exultation beyond Your companions.” VP
10 And: “You, in [the] beginning, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are works of Your hands. VP
11 They will perish, but You remain; and all will grow old like a garment; VP
12 and like a robe You will roll them up, and like a garment they will be changed; but You are the same, and Your years will not come to an end.” VP
13 Now to which of the angels has He ever said: “Sit at My right hand until I shall place Your enemies [as] a footstool for Your feet”? VP
14 Are they not all ministering spirits being sent forth for service for the sake of those being about to inherit salvation? VP
