Hebrews 1:1-7

Worldwide English (New Testament)

1 Long ago, God talked to our fathers through the prophets. He talked many times and in many ways.

² In these last days, he talked to us through his Son. God chose him to be the one to whom he would give all things. God also made the world by this Son.

³ He shines as bright as God. He is just like God himself. He holds up the world by the power of his word. He made people clean from their wrong ways. Then he sat down beside God in heaven.

⁴ He is much greater than the angels because God has given him a much better name than theirs.

⁵ Did God ever say to any of the angels, `You are my Son, and I am your Father today'? Did God ever say to an angel, `I will be your Father and you will be my Son'?

⁶ When God brings his first-born Son into the world, he says, `All of God's angels must worship him.'

⁷ Here is what he says about the angels: `God makes his angels to be like the winds. He makes his helpers to be like flames of fire.'
