Hebrews 1

1 God having spoken in many parts and in many ways formerly to the fathers in the prophets,

In many parts and many ways, God, having spoken long ago to the fathers by the prophets,

2 at the end of these days has spoken to us in [the person of the] Son, whom he has established heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; (aiōn g165)

in these last days speaks to us in [His] Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom He also made the ages; (aiōn g165)

3 who being [the] effulgence of his glory and [the] expression of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, having made [by himself] the purification of sins, set himself down on the right hand of the greatness on high,

who being the brightness of the glory, and the impress of His subsistence, bearing up also all things by the saying of His might—having made a cleansing of our sins through Himself, sat down at the right hand of the Greatness in the highest,

4 taking a place by so much better than the angels, as he inherits a name more excellent than they.

having become so much better than the messengers, as He inherited a more excellent name than them.

5 For to which of the angels said he ever, Thou art my Son: this day have I begotten thee? and again, I will be to him for father, and he shall be to me for son?

For to which of the messengers did He ever say, “You are My Son—today I have begotten You?” And again, “I will be to Him for a Father, and He will be to Me for a Son?”

6 and again, when he brings in the firstborn into the habitable world, he says, And let all God's angels worship him.

And when again He may bring the firstborn into the world, He says, “And let them worship Him—all messengers of God”;

7 And as to the angels he says, Who makes his angels spirits and his ministers a flame of fire;

and to the messengers, indeed, He says, “The [One] who is making His messengers spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire”;

8 but as to the Son, Thy throne, O God, [is] to the age of the age, and a sceptre of uprightness [is] the sceptre of thy kingdom. (aiōn g165)

but to the Son: “Your throne, O God, [is] throughout the age of the age; The scepter of righteousness [is the] scepter of Your kingdom; (aiōn g165)

9 Thou hast loved righteousness and hast hated lawlessness; therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with oil of gladness above thy companions.

You loved righteousness, and hated lawlessness; Because of this He anointed You—God, Your God—With oil of gladness above Your partners”;

10 And, Thou in the beginning, Lord, hast founded the earth, and works of thy hands are the heavens.

and, “You, LORD, founded the earth at the beginning, And the heavens are a work of Your hands.

11 They shall perish, but thou continuest still; and they all shall grow old as a garment,

These will perish, but You remain, And all will become old as a garment,

12 and as a covering shalt thou roll them up, and they shall be changed; but thou art the Same, and thy years shall not fail.

And You will roll them together as a mantle, and they will be changed, But You are the same, and Your years will not fail.”

13 But as to which of the angels said he ever, Sit at my right hand until I put thine enemies [as] footstool of thy feet?

And to which of the messengers did He ever say, “Sit at My right hand, Until I may make Your enemies Your footstool?”

14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out for service on account of those who shall inherit salvation?

Are they not all spirits of service—being sent forth for ministry because of those about to inherit salvation?
