The Son is in the express image of the person of the Father—Christ is the Only Begotten Son and thus above the angels.

 GOD, who ^aat^• sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the ^bfathers by the ^cprophets,

 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his ^aSon, whom he hath ^bappointed ^cheir^• of all things, by whom also he ^dmade the ^eworlds;

 Who being the brightness of his ^aglory^•, and the express image of his ^bperson, and upholding all things by the word of his ^cpower, when he had by himself ^dpurged^• our sins, sat down on the ^eright^• hand of the ^fMajesty^• on high;

 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent ^aname^• than they.

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

 And again, when he bringeth in the ^afirstbegotten into the world, he saith, ^bAnd^• let all the angels of God ^cworship 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 ^athrone, O God, is for ^bever^• and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

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

 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the ^afoundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine ^bhands^•:

 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall ^awax^• old as doth a garment;

 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.

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

 Are they not all ^aministering^{• b}spirits^•, sent forth ^cto^• minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
