1. Although God spoke long ago in many parts and in many ways to the fathers by the prophets,
2. in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the world,
3. who is the radiance of his glory and the representation of his essence, sustaining all things by the word of power. When he had made purification for sins through him, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
4. having become by so much better than the angels, by as much as he has inherited a more excellent name than theirs.
5. For to which of the angels did he ever say, “You are my son, today I have begotten you,” and again, “I will be his father, and he will be my son”?
