For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.

But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:

11 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;

12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.

13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?

14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

For to which of the angels did God ever say,

(A)“You are my Son,
    today I have begotten you”?

Or again,

(B)“I will be to him a father,
    and he shall be to me a son”?

And again, when he brings (C)the firstborn into the world, he says,

(D)“Let all God's angels worship him.”

Of the angels he says,

(E)“He makes his angels winds,
    and his ministers a flame of fire.”

But of the Son he says,

(F)“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,
    the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.
You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
therefore God, your God, (G)has anointed you
    with (H)the oil of gladness beyond your companions.”

10 And,

(I)“You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning,
    and the heavens are the work of your hands;
11 they will perish, but you remain;
    they will all wear out like a garment,
12 like a robe you will roll them up,
    like a garment they will be changed.[a]
But you are (J)the same,
    and your years will have no end.”

13 And to which of the angels has he ever said,

(K)“Sit at my right hand
    (L)until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet”?

14 Are they not all ministering spirits (M)sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to (N)inherit salvation?
