Hebrews 1:4 in Context — Hebrews 1

2 Dieu, dans ces derniers temps, nous a parlé par le Fils, qu’il a établi héritier de toutes choses, par lequel il a aussi créé le monde,

3 et qui, étant le reflet de sa gloire et l’empreinte de sa personne, et soutenant toutes choses par sa parole puissante, a fait la purification des péchés et s’est assis à la droite de la majesté divine dans les lieux très hauts,

4 devenu d’autant supérieur aux anges qu’il a hérité d’un nom plus excellent que le leur.

5 Car auquel des anges Dieu a-t-il jamais dit: Tu es mon Fils, Je t’ai engendré aujourd’hui? Et encore: Je serai pour lui un père, et il sera pour moi un fils?

6 Et lorsqu’il introduit de nouveau dans le monde le premier-né, il dit: Que tous les anges de Dieu l’adorent!
