- In the past God spoke to our forefathers 
      through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
 
    - but 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.
 
    - The Son is the radiance of God's glory 
      and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his 
      powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down 
      at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
 
    - So he became as much superior to the angels 
      as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.
 
    - For to which of the angels did God ever 
      say, "You are my Son; today I have become your Father"? Or again, 
      "I will be his Father, and he will be my Son "?
 
    - And again, when God brings his firstborn 
      into the world, he says, "Let all God's angels worship him."
 
    - In speaking of the angels he says, "He 
      makes his angels winds, his servants flames of fire."
 
    - But about the Son he says, "Your throne, 
      O God, will last for ever and ever, and righteousness will be the scepter 
      of your kingdom.
 
    - You have loved righteousness and hated 
      wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by 
      anointing you with the oil of joy."
 
    - He also says, "In the beginning, O 
      Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work 
      of your hands.
 
    - They will perish, but you remain; they 
      will all wear out like a garment.
 
    - You will roll them up like a robe; like 
      a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years 
      will never end."
 
    - To which of the angels did God ever say, 
      "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your 
      feet "?
 
    - Are not all angels ministering spirits 
      sent to serve those who will inherit salvation ?
