Hebrews 1:1-4
English Standard Version
The Supremacy of God's Son
1 Long ago, at many times and (A)in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2 but (B)in these last days (C)he has spoken to us by (D)his Son, whom he appointed (E)the heir of all things, (F)through whom also he created (G)the world. 3 He is the radiance of the glory of God and (H)the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. (I)After making purification for sins, (J)he sat down (K)at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become as much superior to angels as the name (L)he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.

Hebrews 2:9-15
English Standard Version
9 But we see him (A)who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, (B)crowned with glory and honor (C)because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might (D)taste death (E)for everyone.
10 For it (F)was fitting that he, (G)for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons (H)to glory, should make the (I)founder of their salvation (J)perfect through suffering. 11 For (K)he who sanctifies and (L)those who are sanctified (M)all have one source.[a] That is why he is not ashamed to call them (N)brothers,[b] 12 saying,
(O)“I will tell of your name to my brothers;
in the midst of the (P)congregation I will sing your praise.”
13 And again,
(Q)“I will put my trust in him.”
And again,
14 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise (T)partook of the same things, that (U)through death he might (V)destroy (W)the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and deliver all those who (X)through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery.
