1God spoke to the fathers in the prophets little by little and in many ways of old.2In these last days he has spoken to us in a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom he also made the ages.3Who being the radiance of his glory and the reproduction of his essence, and bearing all things by the declaration of his power, after making cleansing of sins, sat down at the right of the Majesty on high.4Having become so much greater than the angels as he has inherited a more excellent name than they.5For to which of the angels did he ever say, 'You are my Son; today I have begotten you'? Or again, 'I will be his Father, and he will be my Son'?6And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says, 'And let all angels of God worship him.'7And of the angels he says, 'The one making his angels spirits and his ministers a flame of fire.'8But of the Son, 'Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.'9You loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; therefore God, your God, anointed you with oil of joy beyond your partakers.10And, 'You, Lord, founded the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the works of your hands.'11They will perish, but you remain, and all will grow old like clothing.12And like a cloak you will roll them up, like clothing, and they will be changed, but you are the same and your years will not fail.13But to which of the angels has he ever said, 'Sit at my right until I place your enemies as a footstool of your feet'?14Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to service for the sake of those about to inherit salvation?
