“God spoke to us in the last days by a son, after He had spoken of old by the prophets in many ways. This son, whom he appointed as heir of all things and through whom he made the ages, and who was the brightness of his glory and express image of his being, while he was upholding all things by his powerful word, himself purified our sins and sat down on the right hand of the highest majesty. In this way he became so much better than the angels, because he inherited a more excellent name than theirs.”
