< Hebrews 1 >

1 God, having spoken to the fathers through the prophets in many parts and in various ways, in the past,
God, who in many parts and in many ways spoke in ancient times to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by his Son,
2 has at the end of these days spoken to us by Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the ages; (aiōn g165)
whom he has appointed heir of all things, by whom, also, he made the ages; (aiōn g165)
3 who being the projection of His glory and the very image of His essence, and sustaining all things by the expression of His[S] own power, when He had by Himself provided purification for our sins He sat down on the highest Majesty's right,
who, being the effulgence of his glory and the exact representation of his essence, and upholding all things by his own powerful word, when he had by himself made expiation for our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
4 having become so much superior to the angels as He has inherited a more excellent name than they have.
having become so far superior to the angels, as the name which he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.
5 For to which of the angels did He[F] ever say, “You are my Son, today I begot you,” and again, “I will be ‘Father’ to Him, and He will be ‘Son’ to me?”
For to which of the angels did he at any time say: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again: I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
6 Again, when He introduces the Firstborn into the inhabited earth He says, “Let all God's angels worship Him[S].”
And again, when he brings the first-begotten into the world, he says: And let all the angels of God worship him.
7 Further, about the angels He[F] says, “Who makes His angels winds, His servants flames of fire”;
And of the angels he says: Who makes his angels winds, and his ministers a flame of fire.
8 while to the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; ‘Scepter of Uprightness’ is the scepter of Your kingdom. (aiōn g165)
But to the Son: Thy throne, O God, is from age to age: a scepter of rectitude is the scepter of thy kingdom. (aiōn g165)
9 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness, therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of exultation beyond Your companions.”
Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore, God, thy God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
10 Also: “You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are works of Your hands;
And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning, didst lay the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands.
11 they will perish but You continue on —they will all grow old like a garment;
They shall perish; but thou remainest: and they all shall grow old as a garment;
12 You will roll them up like a cloak and they will be changed, while You stay the same and Your years will never end.”
and as a mantle thou shalt fold them up, and they shall be changed; but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
13 On the other hand, to which of the angels did He ever say, “Sit on my right until I place your enemies as a stool under your feet”?
But to which of the angels has he said at any time: Sit on my right hand, till I make thy enemies thy footstool?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits being sent to serve those who are going to inherit salvation?
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister to those who shall inherit salvation?
