I think he meant Heb. 1:3. Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; (Hebrews 1:3 KJV) But see the NASB on this one: And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power.
