Hebrews 1:5-7

⁵God never said this to any of the angels:

“You are my Son.
Today I have become your Father.” ^(A)

God also never said about an angel,

“I will be his Father,
and he will be my son.” ^(B)

⁶And then, when God presents his firstborn Son to the world,^[a] he says,

“Let all God’s angels worship him.”^[b]

⁷This is what God said about the angels:

“He changes his angels into winds^[c]
and his servants into flaming fire.” ^(C)

Hebrews 1:6 world This may mean the world into which Jesus was born (see Lk. 2:1-14), or it may have the same meaning as in Heb. 2:5—the world to come, to which the risen Christ is presented as king (see Php. 2:9-11).
Hebrews 1:6 “Let … him” These words are found in Deut. 32:43 in the ancient Greek version and in a Hebrew scroll from Qumran.
Hebrews 1:7 winds This can also mean “spirits.”
