Hebrews 1
1 On many past occasions and in many different ways, God spoke to our fathers through the prophets.
God, who in ancient days spoke to our ancestors in the prophets, at many different times and by various methods,
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 at the end of these days spoken to us in a Son whom he appointed heir of all things; through whom also he 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 being an emanation of God’s glory and stamp of his substance, and upholding the universe by the utterances of his power, after by himself making purification of our sins, has taken his seat on 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 is as much superior to the angels as the name that he has inherited surpasses theirs.
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 what angel did God ever say, Thou art my son; this day have I become thy Father? and again, I will be a father to him, and he shall be to me a son?
6 And again, when God brings His firstborn into the world, He says: “Let all God’s angels worship Him.”
And further, when he brought the firstborn into the habitable world, he said, Let all the angels of God worship him.
7 Now about the angels He says: “He makes His angels winds, His servants flames of fire.”
While of the angels he said, He makes his angels into winds, His ministering servants into 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. Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever, And the scepter of thy 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.”
Thou hast loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore did God, thy God, anoint thee with the oil of gladness beyond thy comrades.
10 And: “In the beginning, O Lord, You laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands.
And, Thou, O Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundations of the earth, And the heavens are the work of thy hands.
11 They will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out like a garment.
They will perish, but thou remainest; They all will grow old like a garment,
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.”
Like a mantle thou wilt fold them up, And like a garment they will be changed. But thou art the same, And thy years will never fail.
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”?
To which of the angels has he ever said, Sit at my right hand, Till I make thy foes a footstool for thy feet?
14 Are not the angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth for service in behalf of those who are about to inherit salvation?
