Hebrews 1:4-14
Christian Standard Bible

4 So he became superior to the angels, just as the name he inherited is more excellent than theirs.(A)

The Son Superior to Angels

5 For to which of the angels did he ever say,

You are my Son;
today I have become your Father,[a][b]

or again,

I will be his Father,
and he will be my Son?[c](B)

6 Again, when he[d] brings his firstborn into the world,(C) he says,

And let all God’s angels worship him.[e](D)

7 And about the angels he says:

He makes his angels winds,[f]
and his servants[g] a fiery flame,[h](E)

8 but to[i] the Son:

Your throne, God,
is forever and ever,
and the scepter of your kingdom
is a scepter of justice.(F)
9 You have loved righteousness
and hated lawlessness;
this is why God, your God,
has anointed you
with the oil of joy(G)
beyond your companions.[j][k]

10 And:

In the beginning, Lord,
you established the earth,
and the heavens are the works of your hands;(H)
11 they will perish, but you remain.
They will all wear out like clothing;(I)
12 you will roll them up like a cloak,[l]
and they will be changed like clothing.
But you are the same,
and your years will never end.[m](J)

13 Now to which of the angels has he ever said:

Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies your footstool?[n](K)

14 Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve those who are going to inherit salvation?(L)

Hebrews 1:4-14
Lexham English Bible

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

The Son Superior to the Angels

5 For to which of the angels did he ever say,

“You are my son,
    today I have begotten you,”[a]

and again,

“I will be his father[b],
    and he will be my son[c]”?[d]

6 And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says,

“And let all the angels of God worship him.”[e]

7 And concerning the angels he says,

“The one who makes his angels winds,
and his servants a flame of fire,”[f]

8 but concerning the Son,

“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever[g],
and the scepter of righteous is the scepter of your kingdom.
9     You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;
because of this God, your God, has anointed you
    with the olive oil of joy more than your companions.[h]

10 And,

“You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning,
and the heavens are the works of your hands;
11 they will perish, but you continue,
    and they will all become old like a garment,
12 and like a robe you will roll them up,
and like a garment they will be changed;
but you are the same, and your years will not run out.”[i]

13 But to which of the angels has he ever said,

“Sit down at my right hand,
until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”[j]

14 Are they not all spirits engaged in special service, sent on assignment for the sake of those who are going to inherit salvation?
