Hebrews 1

1 God, who in the past spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at various times and in many ways,

God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,

2 has in these last days spoken to us through his Son. God appointed the Son heir of everything, and made the universe through him. (aiōn g165)

in these last days has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the ages. (aiōn g165)

3 The Son is the radiant glory of God, and the visible expression of his true character. He sustains everything by his powerful command. When he had provided cleansing for sin he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.

He is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had made purification for sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

4 He was placed much higher than the angels since he received a greater name than them.

having become so much better than the angels, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they have.

5 God never said to any angel, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father,” or “I will be a Father to him, and he will be a Son to me.”

For to which of the angels did he say at any time, "You are my Son. Today I have become your Father"? And again, "I will be his Father, and he will be my Son"?

6 Also, when he brought his firstborn Son into the world, he said, “Let all God's angels worship him.”

And again, when he brings in the firstborn into the world he says, "Let all the angels of God worship him."

7 Regarding the angels, he says, “He makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire,”

Of the angels he says, "Who makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire."

8 but about the Son he says, “Your throne, God, lasts forever and ever, and justice is the ruling scepter of your kingdom. (aiōn g165)

But of the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the righteous scepter is the scepter of your Kingdom. (aiōn g165)

9 You love what is right, and hate what is lawless. That is why God, your God, has placed you above everyone else by anointing you with the oil of joy.”

You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your companions."

10 “You, Lord, laid the foundations of the earth in the beginning. The heavens are the product of your hands.

And, "In the beginning, Lord, you established the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.

11 They will come to an end, but you will continue. They will wear out like clothes do,

They will perish, but you remain; and they will all wear out like a garment.

12 and you will roll them up like a cloak. Like clothes, they will be changed, but you never change, and your life never ends.”

As a cloak, you will roll them up, and like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will have no end."

13 But he never said to any angel, “Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies in subjection under your feet.”

But which of the angels has he told at any time, "Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?"

14 What are the angels? They are beings that serve, sent out to help those who will receive salvation.

Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
