Hebrews 1

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

God, who in ancient times, spoke often, and in various ways, 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)

has, in these last days, spoken to us by a Son, whom he has constituted Lord of all things, by whom, also, he made the universe: (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 in effulgence of his glory, and an exact representation of his character, and controlling all things by his own powerful word, after he had, by himself, made expiation for our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high;

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

being exalted as far above the angels, as the name he has inherited, is more excellent than theirs.

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 angels did he at any time say, "Thou art my Son: to-day I have begotten thee"? and again, "I will be his Father, and he shall be my Son"?

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

But when he brings again the First-born into the world, he says, "Let all the angels of God worship him."

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

Whereas, concerning angels, he says, "Who makes winds his angels, and flaming fire his ministers."

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, "Thy throne, O God, endures for ever. The scepter of thy kingdom is a scepter of rectitude. (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.

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore, God, thy God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness, above thy associates."

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

And, "Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands.

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

They shall perish, but thou dost remain; and they, as a garment, shall grow old;

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, as a vesture, thou wilt fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same; and they shall be changed; but thou art the same; and thy years shall never 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?

Moreover, to which of the angels did he say, at any time, "Sit thou at my right hand, till I make thy enemies thy footstool."

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

"Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall inherit salvation?"
