Hebrews 1

1 On many past occasions and in many different ways, God spoke to our fathers through the prophets.

Long ago God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many 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)

But in these last days, he has spoken to us through a Son, whom he appointed to be the heir of all things. It is through him that God also made the universe. (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.

He is the brightness of God's glory, the exact representation of his being. He even holds everything together by the word of his power. After he had made cleansing for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.

4 So He became as far superior to the angels as the name He has inherited is excellent beyond theirs.

He has become just as superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than their name.

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”?

For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my son, today I have become your father”? Or to which of the angels did God ever say, “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.”

But again, when God brings the firstborn into the world, he says, “All God's angels must worship him.”

7 Now about the angels He says: “He makes His angels winds, His servants flames of fire.”

About the angels he says, “He is the one who makes his angels spirits, 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 to the Son he says, “Your throne, God, is forever and ever. The scepter of your kingdom is the scepter of justice. (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 have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of joy more than your companions.”

10 And: “In the beginning, O Lord, You laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands.

“In the beginning, Lord, you laid the earth's foundation. The heavens are the work of your hands.

11 They will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out like a garment.

They will perish, but you will continue. They will all wear out like a piece of clothing.

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.”

You will roll them up like a cloak, and they will be changed like a piece of clothing. But you are the same, and your years do not end.”

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 to which of the angels has God said at any time, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a stool for your feet”?

14 Are not the angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?

Are not all angels spirits who serve, and who are sent to care for those who will inherit salvation?
