Hebrews 1:3-5
Lexham English Bible

3 who is the radiance of his glory and the representation of his essence, sustaining all things by the word of power.[a] When he[b] had made purification for sins through him, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become by so much better than the angels, by as much as he has inherited a more excellent name than theirs.

The Son Superior to the Angels

5 For to which of the angels did he ever say,

“You are my son,
    today I have begotten you,”[c]

and again,

“I will be his father[d],
    and he will be my son[e]”?[f]
