7. Hebrews 1, 1-6
1:1God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 1:2has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds. 1:3His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 1:4having become so much better than the angels, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they have. 1:5For to which of the angels did he say at any time,
 "You are my Son,       Today have I become your father?"
and again,
 "I will be to him a Father,       And he will be to me a Son?"
1:6Again, when he brings in the firstborn into the world he says, "Let all the angels of God worship him."

8. 1:1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 1:2The same was in the beginning with God. 1:3All things were made through him. Without him was not anything made that has been made. 1:4In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 1:5The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn't overcome it. 1:6There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John. 1:7The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him. 1:8He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light. 1:9The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
1:10He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn't recognize him. 1:11He came to his own, and those who were his own didn't receive him. 1:12But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God's children, to those who believe in his name: 1:13who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 1:14The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth. 1:15John testified about him. He cried out, saying, "This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.'" 1:16From his fullness we all received grace upon grace. 1:17For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 1:18No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him. John 1, 18
