  • 1. ¶ FROM of old God spoke to our fathers by the prophets in every manner and in all ways; and in these latter days he has spoken to us by his Son,
  • 2. Whom he has appointed heir of all things, and by whom also he made the worlds;
  • 3. For he is the brightness of his glory and the express image of his being, upholding all things by the power of his word; and when he had through his person cleansed our sins, then he sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

  • 5. For to which of the angels has God at any time said, You are my Son, this day have I begotten you? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
  • 6. And again, when he brought the firstbegotten into the world, he said, Let all the angels of God worship him.

  • 12. And as a cloak thou shalt fold them up, and they shall be changed; but thou art the same, and thy years shall never end.
  • 13. For to which of the angels has he at any time said, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies the stool under thy feet?
  • 14. Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth in the service for those who shall inherit life everlasting?
