having become as much superior to angels as the name (A)he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.

For to which of the angels did God ever say,

(B)“You are my Son,
    today I have begotten you”?

Or again,

(C)“I will be to him a father,
    and he shall be to me a son”?

And again, when he brings (D)the firstborn into the world, he says,

(E)“Let all God's angels worship him.”

Of the angels he says,

(F)“He makes his angels winds,
    and his ministers a flame of fire.”

But of the Son he says,

(G)“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,
    the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.
You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
therefore God, your God, (H)has anointed you
    with (I)the oil of gladness beyond your companions.”
