⁶ He had still one other, ^(A)a beloved son. ^(B)Finally he sent him to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

The Supremacy of God's Son

1 Long ago, at many times and ^(A)in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, ² but ^(B)in these last days ^(C)he has spoken to us by ^(D)his Son, whom he appointed ^(E)the heir of all things, ^(F)through whom also he created ^(G)the world.

³⁴ And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son^[a] of God.”

¹⁷ and behold, ^(A)a voice from heaven said, ^(B)“This is my beloved Son,^[a] with whom I am well pleased.”

⁹ And they sang ^(A)a new song, saying,

¹¹ Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering ^(F)myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, ¹² saying with a loud voice,

¹³ And I heard ^(H)every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying,

¹¹ And this is the testimony, that God gave us ^(A)eternal life, and ^(B)this life is in his Son. ^12 (C)Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

⁹ In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that ^(A)God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.

⁶ And again, when he brings ^(A)the firstborn into the world, he says,

²³ that all may honor the Son, just as they ^(A)honor the Father. ^(B)Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
