God, who
at sundry times and in divers manners spake in
time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
02 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his
Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things,
by whom also he made the worlds;
03 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the
express image of his person, and upholding all
things by the word of his power, when he had by
himself purged our sins, sat down on the right
hand of the Majesty on high:
04 Being made so much better than the angels, as
he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent
name than they.
05 For unto which of the angels said he at any
time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten
thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and
he shall be to me a Son?
06 And again, when he bringeth in the
firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let
all the angels of God worship him.
07 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his
angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of
fire.

08 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God,
is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness
is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
09 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated
iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath
anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy
fellows.
10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid
the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are
the works of thine hands:
11 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and
they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and
they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and
thy years shall not fail.
13 But to which of the angels said he at any
time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine
enemies thy footstool?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent
forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of
salvation?
