God’s Final Word in His Son
1 God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways,
2 in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world.
3 And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
4 having become as much better than the angels, as He has inherited a more excellent name than they.
5 For to which of the angels did He ever say, “You areMySon, TodayIhave begottenYou”?
And again, “Iwill be aFather toHimAndHe shall be aSon toMe”?
6 And when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says,
“And let all the angels ofGod worshipHim.”
7 And of the angels He says,
“Who makesHis angels winds,
AndHis ministers a flame of fire.”
8 But of the SonHe says,
“Yourthrone, OGod,is forever and ever,
# And the righteous scepter is the scepter ofHis kingdom.
9 “You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;
ThereforeGod, YourGod,hasanointedYou
With the oil of gladness aboveYour companions.”
10 And,
“You, Lord,in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth,
And the heavens are the works ofYour hands;
11 They will perish,butYou remain;
And they all will become old like a garment,
12 And like a mantleYou will roll them up;
Like a garment they will also be changed.
ButYou arethe same,
AndYour years will not come to an end.”
13 But to which of the angels has He ever said,
“Sit atMy right hand,
UntilImakeYour enemies
Afootstool forYour feet”?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
