Hebrews 1:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 [a]Whom he hath made [b]heir of all things, by whom also he made the [c]worlds,
3 (A)Who being the [d]brightness of the glory, and the engraved form of his [e]person, and [f]bearing up all things by his mighty word: [g]hath by himself purged our sins: and [h]sitteth at the right hand of the Majesty in the highest places,
4 [i]And is made so much more excellent than the Angels, inasmuch as he hath obtained a more excellent [j]Name than they.
