Epistle to the Hebrews

having become so much better than the angels, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they have.

For to which of the angels did he say at any time, "You are my Son, Today have I become your father?" and again, "I will be to him a Father, And he will be to me a Son?"

Again, when he brings in the firstborn into the world he says, "Let all the angels of God worship him."

Of the angels he says, "Who makes his angels winds, And his servants a flame of fire."

but of the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.

You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows."

And, "You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.

They will perish, but you continue. They all will grow old like a garment does.

As a mantle you will roll them up, And they will be changed; But you are the same. Your years will not fail."

But of which of the angels has he said at any time, "Sit at my right hand, Until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?"

Aren't they all ministering spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?

Therefore we ought to pay greater attention to the things that were heard, lest perhaps we drift away.

For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense;

how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation -- which at the first having been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard;

God also bearing witness with them, both by signs and wonders, and by various works of power, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will?

For he didn't subject the world to come, whereof we speak, to angels.
