Hebrews 1:3-8

View Full Chapter

3The 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.

4So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.

The Son Superior to Angels 5For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father” Psalm 2:7 ? Or again, “I will be his Father, and he will be my Son” 2 Samuel 7:14; 1 Chron. 17:13 ?

6And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, “Let all God’s angels worship him.” Deut. 32:43 (see Dead Sea Scrolls and Septuagint)

7In speaking of the angels he says, “He makes his angels spirits, and his servants flames of fire.” Psalm 104:4

8But about the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.
