Hebrews 1

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

On many occasions and in many ways in the olden time, God having spoken to the fathers through the prophets, at the last of these days has spoken to us through his Son,

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)

whom he put forth the heir of all things, and through whom he created 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 his glory, and the character of his person, and holding up all things by the word of his power, having made purgation of the sins, sat down on 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 so much greater than the angels, that he has inherited a name so much more excellent than they.

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 one of the angels at any time did he say, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? and again, I will be unto him a Father, and he shall be unto me 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 again when he may lead in the first begotten into the world, he says, Indeed 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;

And to the angels he says, he maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire: but to the Son he says,

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)

Thy throne, O God, is unto the age of the age; and the scepter of righteousness is the scepter of thy 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.

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

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

And thou, at the beginning, O Lord, 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,

These shall perish; but thou dost remain: truly all these shall wax old like 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 thou shalt roll them up like a mantle, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail thee.

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 one of the angels has he at any time said, Sit thou on my right hand, until I may make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet?

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

Are not all these ministering spirits, having been sent forth unto ministration for the sake of those who are about to inherit salvation?
