The Son is Superior to Angels

5

For to which of the angels did God ever say: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father”? Or again: “I will be His Father, and He will be My Son”?

6

And again, when God brings His firstborn into the world, He says: “Let all God’s angels worship Him.”

7

Now about the angels He says: “He makes His angels winds, His servants flames of fire.”

8

But about the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever, and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom.

9

You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, Your God, has anointed You above Your companions with the oil of joy.”

10

And: “In the beginning, O Lord, You laid the foundations of the earth, 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

You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed; but You remain the same, and Your years will never end.”

13

Yet to which of the angels did God ever say: “Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet”?

14

Are not the angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?
