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) 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) So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.(K)

The Son Superior to Angels

For to which of the angels did God ever say,

“You are my Son;
    today I have become your Father”[a]?(L)

Or again,

“I will be his Father,
    and he will be my Son”[b]?(M)

And again, when God brings his firstborn(N) into the world,(O) he says,

“Let all God’s angels worship him.”[c](P)

In speaking of the angels he says,

“He makes his angels spirits,
    and his servants flames of fire.”[d](Q)

But about the Son he says,

“Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever;(R)
    a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.

21 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life,(A) even so the Son gives life(B) to whom he is pleased to give it. 22 Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son,(C) 23 that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.(D)

24 “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me(E) has eternal life(F) and will not be judged(G) but has crossed over from death to life.(H) 25 Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come(I) when the dead will hear(J) the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life(K) in himself. 27 And he has given him authority to judge(L) because he is the Son of Man.

28 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming(M) when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned.(N)
