Hebrews 1
1 God, who formerly spoke in many portions and in many ways to the fathers by the prophets,
GOD, who spake to the fathers of old at various times, and in different manners by the prophets,
2 spoke to us in these last days by a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the ages. (aiōn g165)
in these last days hath spoken to us by a Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; (aiōn g165)
3 Who, being the radiance of his glory, and the exact image of his essence, and upholding all things by the word of his power, having made purification of our sins through himself, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in the heights.
who being the splendour of his glory, and the very impress of his substance, and upholding all things with his powerful word, by himself having effected the cleansing of our sins, he sat down at the right hand of Majesty on high;
4 Having become so much better than the agents, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they.
made as much superior to the angels, as he hath inherited a more distinguished name than they.
5 For to which of the agents did he ever say, Thou are my Son, today I have begotten thee? And again, I will be to him for a Father, and he will be to me for a Son?
For to which of the angels ever said he, “My Son art thou, I have to-day begotten thee?” 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, And let all the agents of God worship him.
And again, when he introduces the first-begotten into the world, he saith, “Let all the angels of God also worship him.”
7 And indeed toward the agents he says, He who makes his agents spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
And concerning the angels indeed he thus speaks: “Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministering servants a flame of fire.”
8 But toward the Son, Thy throne, O God, is into the age of the age. The scepter of thy kingdom is a scepter of straightness. (aiōn g165)
But to the Son, “Thy throne, O God, is unto eternity; a sceptre of rectitude is the sceptre of thy kingdom. (aiōn g165)
9 Thou have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness. Because of this, God, thy God, anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy companions.
Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of exultation above those who partake with thee.”
10 And thou, Lord, at the beginnings founded the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands.
“And thou from the beginning, O Lord, hast founded the earth, and the heavens are the works of thine hands.
11 They will perish, but thou are permanent. And they will all become old as a garment.
They will be destroyed, but thou remainest; and they all will grow old as a garment,
12 And thou will roll them up as a mantle, and they will be changed. But thou are the same, and thy years will not cease.
and as a cloak thou wilt wrap them up, and they will undergo a change: but thou art the same, and thy years will never end.”
13 But to which of the agents has he ever said, Sit thou by my right hand until I place thine enemies a footstool of thy feet?
Unto which indeed of the angels said he ever, “Sit at my right hand until I put thine enemies for a footstool of thy feet?”
14 Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth for service for the sake of those who are going to inherit salvation?
Are they not all ministerial spirits, sent to perform service on account of those who are about to inherit salvation?
