¹ Long ago on many occasions and in many ways God spoke to our fathers through the prophets. ² He has in these last days spoken to us by his Son, whom he has appointed heir of all things, through whom he made the ages (Greek: aion: ages of time, perpetuity, worlds, generations, human entities). ³ God’s Son is the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his being. He sustains all things by his powerful word. After Jesus purged our sins, he sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high. ⁴ He has become better than the angels and has inherited a more excellent name than theirs. ⁵ To which of the angels did God ever say at any time: »You are my son; this day I have begotten you«? And again: »I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son«? ⁶ And again: when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says: »Let all the angels of God pay him homage.«

God is the builder of all things. ⁵ Indeed Moses was faithful in His house, as a ministering servant, for a testimony of the things to be spoken afterwards. ⁶ Christ was faithful as a Son over God’s house. We are His house if we hold on to our courage (confidence) and rejoice (speak boldly) about our hope until the end.

He is holy, harmless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and higher than the heavens.

² Look to (consider without distractions) Jesus, the Leader (Predecessor) and Finisher (Perfecter) of our faith. He despised the shame. He endured the stake for the joy that was set before him. Then he sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
