2 but in these last days(A) he has spoken to us by his Son,(B) whom he appointed heir(C) of all things, and through whom(D) also he made the universe.(E) 3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory(F) and the exact representation of his being,(G) sustaining all things(H) by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins,(I) he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.(J) 4 So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.(K)
