Hebrews 1

1 God, who formerly spoke in many portions and in many ways to the fathers by the prophets,

God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,

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 has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the ages. (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.

He 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 made purification for sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

4 Having become so much better than the agents, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they.

having become so much better than the angels, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they have.

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 did he say at any time, "You are my Son. Today I have become your Father"? And again, "I will be his Father, and he will be my 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 brings in the firstborn into the world he says, "Let all the angels of God worship him."

7 And indeed toward the agents he says, He who makes his agents spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.

Of the angels he says, "Who makes his angels winds, and his 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 of the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the righteous scepter is the scepter of your 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.

You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your companions."

10 And thou, Lord, at the beginnings founded the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands.

And, "In the beginning, Lord, you established the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.

11 They will perish, but thou are permanent. And they will all become old as a garment.

They will perish, but you remain; and they will all wear out like 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.

As a cloak, you will roll them up, and like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will have no 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?

But which of the angels has he told at any time, "Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your 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 ministering spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
