God's Final Word: His Son

1 In the past God spoke¹ to our ancestors through the prophets² at many times and in various ways,³ 2 but in these last days⁴ he has spoken to us by his Son,⁵ whom he appointed heir⁶ of all things, and through whom⁷ also he made the universe.⁸ 3 The Son is the radiance of God's glory⁹ and the exact representation of his being,¹⁰ sustaining all things¹¹ by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins,¹² he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.¹³ 4 So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.¹⁴

The Son Superior to Angels

5 For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my Son; today I have become your Father"^a ?¹⁵ Or again, "I will be his Father, and he will be my Son"^b ?¹⁶ 6 And again, when God brings his firstborn¹⁷ into the world,¹⁸ he says, "Let all God's angels worship him."^c¹⁹
