Hebrews 1:3 shows a clear literary and linguistic dependence on Wisdom 7:26 for its description of the relationship of the Son to the Father. The use of the deuterocanonical Book of Wisdom to formulate such a precise and important Christological doctrine, which can be known only through divine revelation, shows that the author believed the Book of Wisdom to be capable of confirming Christian doctrine (i.e., inspired).
