< Hebrews 1 >
1 At sundry times and in diuers maners God spake in the olde time to our fathers by the Prophetes:
God, who, at sundry times and in divers manners, spoke in times past to the fathers by the prophets, last of all,
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 )
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 )
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 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.
4 And is made so much more excellent then the Angels, in as much as hee hath obteined a more excellent Name then they.
Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath 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 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?
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 bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith: And let all the angels of God adore him.
7 And of the Angels he saith, He maketh the spirites his messengers, and his ministers a flame of fire.
And to the angels indeed he saith: He that maketh his angels 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 )
But to the Son: Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of justice is the sceptre of thy kingdom. (aiōn )
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 hast loved justice, and hated iniquity: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast established the earth, and the heauens are the workes of thine handes.
And: Thou in the beginning, O Lord, didst found the earth: and the works of thy hands are the heavens.
11 They shall perish, but thou doest remaine: and they all shall waxe olde as doeth a garment.
They shall perish, but thou shalt continue: and they shall all grow 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 as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: but thou art the selfsame, and thy years shall not fail.
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 angels said he at any time: Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool?
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 to minister for them, who shall receive the inheritance of salvation?
