   1) Hebrews 1, 2,3,4, 5,6   
      
   Hebrews 1   
      
   God Has Spoken by His Son   
      
   1 (Joel 2:28; Ge 3:15) God, who at various times and in diverse ways spoke   
   long ago to the fathers through the prophets,   
   2 (Mt 28:18; Jn 1:3) has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom   
   He has appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the world.   
   3 (Mk 16:19; 2Co 4:4) He is the brightness of His glory, the express image   
   of Himself, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had   
   by Himself purged our sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty   
   on high.   
   4 (Eph 1:21) He was made so much better than the angels as He has inherited   
   a more excellent name than they.   
      
   [1] God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto   
   the fathers by the prophets,   
   [2] Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath   
   appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;   
   [3] Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his   
   person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by   
   himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;   
   [4] Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance   
   obtained a more excellent name than they.   
      
   The Son Superior to Angels   
      
   5 (2Sa 7:14; Ps 2:7) For to which of the angels did He at any time say:   
   "You are My Son;   
   today I have become Your Father"(-6 Pr 3:11-12.)?   
   Or again,   
   "I will be a Father to Him,   
   and He shall be a Son to Me"(-7 Ps 40:18.)?   
   6 (Ps 97:7; Dt 32:43) And again, when He brings the firstborn   
   into the world, He says:   
   "Let all the angels of God worship Him."(Ps 110:4.)   
   7 (Ps 104:4) Of the angels He says:   
   "He makes His angels spirits,   
   and His servants a flame of fire."(-11 Ps 95:7-11.)   
   8 (Ps 45:6-7; Isa 7:14) But to the Son He says:   
   "Your throne, O God, lasts forever and ever;   
   a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.(Ps 45:6.)   
   9 (Isa 61:1; 61:3) You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;   
   therefore God, Your God, has anointed You   
   with the oil of gladness more than Your companions."(Ps 45:7; Isa 61:1, 3.)   
   10 (Ps 102:25-27) And,   
   "You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning,   
   and the heavens are the works of Your hands.   
   11 (Isa 34:4; 51:6) They will perish, but You remain;   
   and they all will wear out like a garment;   
   12 (Heb 13:8) as a cloak You will fold them up,   
   and they will be changed.   
   But You are the same,   
   and Your years will not end."   
   13 (Ps 110:1; Mt 22:44) But to which of the angels did He at any time say:   
   "Sit at My right hand,   
   until I make Your enemies   
   Your footstool"(Ps 110:1.)?   
   14 (Ps 34:7; Mt 18:10) Are they not all ministering spirits sent out   
   to minister to those who will inherit salvation?   
      
   [5] For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this   
   day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall   
   be to me a Son?   
   [6] And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he   
   saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.   
   [7] And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his   
   ministers a flame of fire.   
   [8] But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a   
   sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.   
   [9] Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even   
   thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.   
   [10] And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the   
   earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:   
   [11] They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as   
   doth a garment;   
   [12] 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.   
   [13] But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand,   
   until I make thine enemies thy footstool?   
   [14] Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them   
   who shall be heirs of salvation?   
      
   Hebrews 2   
      
   The Great Salvation   
      
   1 (Pr 3:21) Therefore we should be more attentive to what we have heard,   
   lest we drift away.   
   2 (Ac 7:53; Heb 10:28; 10:35) For if the word spoken by angels was true,   
   and every sin and disobedience received a just recompense,   
   3 (Lk 1:2; Heb 1:2) how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation,   
   which was first declared by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who   
   heard Him?   
   4 (Eph 1:5) God also bore them witness with signs and wonders and diverse   
   miracles and with gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to His own   
   will.   
      
   [1] Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we   
   have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.   
   [2] For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression   
   and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;   
   [3] How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the   
   first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that   
   heard him;   
   [4] God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with   
   divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?   
      
   The Pioneer of Salvation   
      
   5 (Heb 6:5) For it was not to the angels that He has subjected   
   the world to come, of which we are speaking.   
   6 (Heb 4:4) But someone in a certain place testified, saying:   
   "What is man that You are mindful of him,   
   or the son of man that You care for him?   
   7 You made him a little lower than the angels;   
   You crowned him with glory and honor,   
   and set him over the works of Your hands.   
   8 (1Co 15:27) You have put all things in subjection under his feet."   
   For in subjecting all things under him, He left nothing that is not   
   subjected to him. Yet now we do not see all things subject to him.   
   9 (Jn 3:16; Ac 2:33) But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than   
   the angels to suffer death, crowned with glory and honor, so that He,   
   by the grace of God, should experience death for everyone.   
   10 (Lk 24:26; Ro 11:36; Lk 24:46) For it was fitting for Him, for whom   
   and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, to make   
   the Author of their salvation perfect through suffering.   
   11 (Heb 10:10; Mt 25:40) For both He who sanctifies and those who are   
   sanctified are all of One. For this reason He is not ashamed to call   
   them brothers,   
   12 (Ps 22:22) saying:   
   "I will declare Your name to My brothers;   
   in the midst of the congregation I will sing praise to You."(Ps 22:22.)   
   13 (Ps 18:2; Isa 8:17-18) And again:   
   "I will put My trust in Him." (Isa 12:2.)   
   And again:   
   "Here am I and the children whom God has given Me."(Isa 8:18.)   
   14 (Jn 1:14; 2Ti 1:10; Ge 3:15) So then, as the children share in flesh
