Bible verse
So He became as far superior to the angels as the name He has inherited is excellent beyond theirs.
Hebrews 1:4 · BSB
The verses around it, from Hebrews 1.
1 On many past occasions and in many different ways, God spoke to our fathers through the prophets.
2 But in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the universe.
3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His nature, upholding all things by His powerful word. After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.
4 So He became as far superior to the angels as the name He has inherited is excellent beyond theirs.
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.
