Hebrews 1:4-14
World English Bible
4 having become as much better than the angels as the more excellent name he has inherited is better than theirs. 5 For to which of the angels did he say at any time,
“You are my Son.
Today I have become your father?”
and again,
“I will be to him a Father,
and he will be to me a Son?”
6 When he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, “Let all the angels of God worship him.”
“He makes his angels winds,
and his servants a flame of fire.”
8 But of the Son he says,
“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever.
The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your Kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity;
therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.”
10 And,
“You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth.
The heavens are the works of your hands.
11 They will perish, but you continue.
They all will grow old like a garment does.
12 You will roll them up like a mantle,
and they will be changed;
but you are the same.
Your years won’t fail.”
13 But which of the angels has he told at any time,
“Sit at my right hand,
until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?”
14 Aren’t they all serving spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?

Hebrews 1:4-14
New American Standard Bible
4 having become so much better than the angels, to the extent that 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 fathered You”?
And again,
“(C)I will be a Father to Him
And He will 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 regarding the angels He says,
“(G)He makes His angels winds,
And His ministers a flame of fire.”
8 But regarding the Son He says,
“(H)Your throne, God, is forever and ever,
And the scepter of righteousness is the scepter of [c]His kingdom.
9 (I)You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;
(J)Therefore God, Your God, has (K)anointed You
With the oil of joy above Your companions.”
10 And,
“(L)You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth,
And the heavens are the works of Your hands;
11 (M)They will perish, but You remain;
(N)And they all will [d]wear out like a garment,
12 (O)And like a robe 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 out to provide service for the sake of those who will (T)inherit (U)salvation?
