1Long ago God spoke to our ancestors in many and various ways by the prophets,G2316G4181G2532G4187G2980G3819G3962G1722G43962but in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom he also created the worlds.G2980G1909G5130G2078G2250G2980G2254G1722G5207G3739G5087G2818G3956G1223G3739G2532G4160G1653He is the reflection of God's glory and the exact imprint of God's very being, and he sustains all things by his powerful word. When he had made purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,G3739G5607G541G1391G2532G5481G846G5287G5037G5342G3956G4487G846G1411G4160G2512G1223G1438G4160G2512G2257G266G2523G1722G1188G3172G1722G53084having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.G1096G5118G2909G32G3745G2816G1313G3686G3844G846
The Son Is Superior to Angels
5For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my Son; today I have begotten you"? Or again, "I will be his Father, and he will be my Son"?G1063G5101G32G2036G4218G4771G1488G3450G5207G4594G1080G1473G1080G4571G2532G3825G1473G2071G1519G846G3962G2532G846G2071G1519G3427G52076And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says, "Let all God's angels worship him."G1161G3825G3752G1521G4416G1519G3625G3004G2532G4352G3956G32G2316G4352G8467Of the angels he says, "He makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire."G2532G4314G3303G32G3004G4160G846G32G4151G2532G846G3011G5395G44428But of the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the righteous scepter is the scepter of your kingdom.G1161G4314G5207G4675G2362G2316G1519G165G165G4464G2118G4464G4675G9329You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions."G25G1343G2532G3404G458G1223G5124G2316G4675G2316G5548G4571G1637G20G3844G4675G335310And, "In the beginning, Lord, you founded the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands;G2532G4771G2962G2596G746G2311G1093G2532G3772G1526G2041G4675G549511they will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like clothing;G846G622G1161G4771G1265G2532G3956G3822G5613G244012like a cloak you will roll them up, and like clothing they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will never end."G2532G5616G4018G1667G846G1667G2532G236G1161G4771G1488G846G2532G4675G2094G1587G3756G158713But to which of the angels has he ever said, "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet"?G1161G4314G5101G32G2046G4218G2521G1537G3450G1188G302G2193G5087G4675G2190G4675G5286G422814Are not all angels spirits in the divine service, sent to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?G1526G3780G3956G3010G4151G649G1519G1248G1223G3195G2816G4991
