The Supremacy of the Son
O1n many past occasions and in many different ways, God spoke to our fathers through the prophets. 2But 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. 3The 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. 4So He became as far superior to the angels as the name He has inherited is excellent beyond theirs. 5For to which of the angels did God ever say: 6And again, when God brings His firstborn into the world, He says: 7Now about the angels He says: 8But about the Son He says: 9You have loved righteousness 10And: 11They will perish, but You remain; 12You will roll them up like a robe; 13Yet to which of the angels did God ever say: 14Are not the angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?
