Hebrews 1:4 in Context — Hebrews 1

2 Mas nestes últimos falou a nós por meio do [seu] Filho, a quem constituiu por herdeiro de todas as coisas, e pelo qual também fez o universo.

3 [O Filho] é o resplendor da [sua] glória, a expressa imagem da sua pessoa, e sustenta todas as coisas pela sua palavra de poder. E, depois de fazer por si mesmo a purificação dos nossos pecados, sentou-se à direita da Majestade nas alturas;

4 e se tornou muito superior aos anjos, assim como herdou um nome mais excelente que eles.

5 Pois a qual dos anjos [Deus] jamais disse: “Tu és meu Filho, eu hoje te gerei”, E em outra vez: “Eu lhe serei por Pai, e ele me será por Filho”?

6 E outra vez, quando introduz o primogênito ao mundo, diz: E todos os anjos de Deus o adorem.
