Hebrews 1:5-7
Contemporary English Version
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.
7 (C) And when God speaks about the angels, he says,
“I change my angels into wind
and my servants
into flaming fire.”
Footnotes
- 1.6 first-born Son: The first son born into a family had certain privileges that the other children did not have. In 12.23 (see note) “first-born” refers to God's special people.
