1. God, having spoken many times and in many ways in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2. has in these last times spoken unto us by his Son, whom he has appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the ages;
3. who being the brightness of his glory and the express image of his substance and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
4. being made so much better than the angels, as he has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
5. For unto which of the angels did he say at any time, Thou art my Son, this day I have begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
