Hebrews 1:4 in context

  1. 2has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.
  2. 3His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,
  3. 4having become as much better than the angels as the more excellent name he has inherited is better than theirs.
  4. 5For to which of the angels did he say at any time,
    “You are my Son.
    Today I have become your father?”
    and again,
    “I will be to him a Father,
    and he will be to me a Son?”
  5. 6When he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, “Let all the angels of God worship him.”
