Hebrews 1
1 God, who, at sundry times and in divers manners, spoke in times past to the fathers by the prophets, last of all,
God, who in ancient days spoke to our ancestors in the prophets, at many different times and by various methods,
2 In these days hath spoken to us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the world. (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 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the figure of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, making purgation of sins, sitteth on 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 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they.
He is as much superior to the angels as the name that he has inherited surpasses theirs.
5 For to which of the angels hath he said at any time, Thou art my Son, today have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a 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 he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith: And let all the angels of God adore him.
And further, when he brought the firstborn into the habitable world, he said, Let all the angels of God worship him.
7 And to the angels indeed he saith: He that maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
While of the angels he said, He makes his angels into winds, His ministering servants into flames of fire.
8 But to the Son: Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of justice is the sceptre of thy 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 Thou hast loved justice, and hated iniquity: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
Thou hast loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore did God, thy God, anoint thee with the oil of gladness beyond thy comrades.
10 And: Thou in the beginning, O Lord, didst found the earth: and the works of thy hands are the heavens.
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 shall perish, but thou shalt continue: and they shall all grow old as a garment.
They will perish, but thou remainest; They all will grow old like a garment,
12 And as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: but thou art the selfsame, and thy years shall not fail.
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 But to which of the angels said he at any time: Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool?
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 they not all ministering spirits, sent to minister for them, who shall receive the inheritance of salvation?
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth for service in behalf of those who are about to inherit salvation?
