2 has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.

3 His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

4 having become so much better than the angels, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they have.

5 For to which of the angels did he say at any time, |You are my Son. Today have I become your father?| and again, |I will be to him a Father, and he will be to me a Son?|

6 Again, when he brings in the firstborn into the world he says, |Let all the angels of God worship him.|
