Hebrews 1:4-14
Legacy Standard Bible
4 having become so much better than the angels, as He has inherited a more excellent (A)name than they.
5 For to which of the angels did He ever say,
“(B)You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You”?
And again,
“(C)I will be a Father to Him
And He shall be a Son to Me”?
6 And [a]when He again (D)brings the firstborn into [b](E)the world, He says,
“(F)And let all the angels of God worship Him.”
7 And of the angels He says,
“(G)Who makes His angels winds,
And His ministers flaming fire.”
8 But of the Son He says,
“(H)Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,
And the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of [c]Your kingdom.
9 (I)You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;
(J)Therefore God, Your God, has (K)anointed You
With the oil of gladness above Your companions.”
10 And,
“(L)You, Lord, in the beginning founded the earth,
And the heavens are the works of Your hands;
11 (M)They will perish, but You remain;
(N)And they all will wear out like a garment,
12 (O)And like a mantle You will roll them up;
Like a garment they will also be changed.
But You are (P)the same,
And Your years will not come to an end.”
13 But to which of the angels has He ever said,
14 Are they not all (S)ministering spirits, sent to render service for the sake of those who will (T)inherit (U)salvation?

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
4 having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.(A)
The Son Is Superior to Angels
5 For to which of the angels did God[a] ever say,
“You are my Son;
today I have begotten you”?
Or again,
“I will be his Father,
and he will be my Son”?(B)
6 And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says,
“Let all God’s angels worship him.”
7 Of the angels he says,
“He makes his angels winds
and his servants flames of fire.”(C)
8 But of the Son he says,
“Your throne, O God, is[b] forever and ever,
and the scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your[c] kingdom.(D)
9 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;[d]
therefore God, your God, has anointed you
with the oil of gladness beyond your companions.”(E)
10 And,
“In the beginning, Lord, you founded the earth,
and the heavens are the work of your hands;(F)
11 they will perish, but you remain;
they will all wear out like clothing;(G)
12 like a cloak you will roll them up,
and like clothing[e] they will be changed.
But you are the same,
and your years will never end.”
13 And to which of the angels has he ever said,
“Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet”?(H)
14 Are not all angels[f] spirits in the divine service, sent to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?(I)
