Hebrews 1
1 On many past occasions and in many different ways, God spoke to our fathers through the prophets.
God, who in the past spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at various times and in many ways,
2 But in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the universe. (aiōn g165)
has in these last days spoken to us through his Son. God appointed the Son heir of everything, and made the universe through him. (aiōn g165)
3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His nature, upholding all things by His powerful word. After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.
The Son is the radiant glory of God, and the visible expression of his true character. He sustains everything by his powerful command. When he had provided cleansing for sin he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
4 So He became as far superior to the angels as the name He has inherited is excellent beyond theirs.
He was placed much higher than the angels since he received a greater name than them.
5 For to which of the angels did God ever say: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father”? Or again: “I will be His Father, and He will be My Son”?
God never said to any angel, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father,” or “I will be a Father to him, and he will be a Son to me.”
6 And again, when God brings His firstborn into the world, He says: “Let all God’s angels worship Him.”
Also, when he brought his firstborn Son into the world, he said, “Let all God's angels worship him.”
7 Now about the angels He says: “He makes His angels winds, His servants flames of fire.”
Regarding the angels, he says, “He makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire,”
8 But about the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever, and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom. (aiōn g165)
but about the Son he says, “Your throne, God, lasts forever and ever, and justice is the ruling scepter of your kingdom. (aiōn g165)
9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, Your God, has anointed You above Your companions with the oil of joy.”
You love what is right, and hate what is lawless. That is why God, your God, has placed you above everyone else by anointing you with the oil of joy.”
10 And: “In the beginning, O Lord, You laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands.
“You, Lord, laid the foundations of the earth in the beginning. The heavens are the product of your hands.
11 They will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out like a garment.
They will come to an end, but you will continue. They will wear out like clothes do,
12 You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed; but You remain the same, and Your years will never end.”
and you will roll them up like a cloak. Like clothes, they will be changed, but you never change, and your life never ends.”
13 Yet to which of the angels did God ever say: “Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet”?
But he never said to any angel, “Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies in subjection under your feet.”
14 Are not the angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?
What are the angels? They are beings that serve, sent out to help those who will receive salvation.
