< Hebrews 1 >

1 At sundry times and in diuers maners God spake in the olde time to our fathers by the Prophetes:
God, who formerly spoke in many portions and in many ways to the fathers by the prophets,
2 in these last dayes hee hath spoken vnto vs by his Sonne, Whom he hath made heire of al things, by whome also he made the worldes, (aiōn g165)
spoke to us in these last days by a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the ages. (aiōn g165)
3 Who being the brightnes of the glory, and the ingraued forme of his person, and bearing vp all things by his mightie worde, hath by himselfe purged our sinnes, and sitteth at the right hand of the Maiestie in the highest places,
Who, being the radiance of his glory, and the exact image of his essence, and upholding all things by the word of his power, having made purification of our sins through himself, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in the heights.
4 And is made so much more excellent then the Angels, in as much as hee hath obteined a more excellent Name then they.
Having become so much better than the agents, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they.
5 For vnto which of the Angels saide he at any time, Thou art my Sonne, this day begate I thee? and againe, I will be his Father, and he shalbe my Sonne?
For to which of the agents did he ever say, Thou are my Son, today I have begotten thee? And again, I will be to him for a Father, and he will be to me for a Son?
6 And againe, when he bringeth in his first begotten Sonne into the worlde, hee saith, And let all the Angels of God worship him.
And again when he brings the firstborn into the world he says, And let all the agents of God worship him.
7 And of the Angels he saith, He maketh the spirites his messengers, and his ministers a flame of fire.
And indeed toward the agents he says, He who makes his agents spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
8 But vnto the Sonne he saith, O God, thy throne is for euer and euer: the scepter of thy kingdome is a scepter of righteousnes. (aiōn g165)
But toward the Son, Thy throne, O God, is into the age of the age. The scepter of thy kingdom is a scepter of straightness. (aiōn g165)
9 Thou hast loued righteousnes and hated iniquitie. Wherefore God, eue thy God, hath anointed thee with the oyle of gladnes aboue thy fellowes.
Thou have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness. Because of this, God, thy God, anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy companions.
10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast established the earth, and the heauens are the workes of thine handes.
And thou, Lord, at the beginnings founded the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands.
11 They shall perish, but thou doest remaine: and they all shall waxe olde as doeth a garment.
They will perish, but thou are permanent. And they will all become old as a garment.
12 And as a vesture shalt thou folde them vp, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy yeeres shall not faile.
And thou will roll them up as a mantle, and they will be changed. But thou are the same, and thy years will not cease.
13 Vnto which also of the Angels saide he at any time, Sit at my right hand, til I make thine enemies thy footestoole?
But to which of the agents has he ever said, Sit thou by my right hand until I place thine enemies a footstool of thy feet?
14 Are they not al ministring spirits, sent forth to minister, for their sakes which shalbe heires of saluation?
Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth for service for the sake of those who are going to inherit salvation?
