Hebrews 1:4-6

Contemporary English Version

⁴He had become much greater than the angels, and the name he was given is far greater than any of theirs.

God's Son Is Greater than Angels

⁵^(A) God has never said
    to any of the angels,
“You are my Son, because today
    I have become your Father!”
Neither has God said
    to any of them,
“I will be his Father,
    and he will be my Son!”

⁶^(B) When God brings his first-born Son^[a] into the world, he commands all of his angels to worship him.
