Hebrews 1

1 At sundry times and in diuers maners God spake in the olde time to our fathers by the Prophetes:

God, who, of old, at many times and in many ways, spoke to our ancestors, 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)

has in these latter days spoken to us by the Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. (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,

For he is the radiance of the glory of God and the expression of his being, upholding all creation by the power of his word; and, when he had made an expiation for the sins of humanity, he took his seat at the right hand of God’s 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.

having shown himself as much greater than the angels as the name that he has inherited surpasses theirs.

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 did God ever say – “You are my Son; this day I have become your Father”? or again – “I will be to him a Father, and he will 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 God brought the firstborn into the world, he said – “Let all the angels of God bow down before him.”

7 And of the Angels he saith, He maketh the spirites his messengers, and his ministers a flame of fire.

Speaking of the angels, he said – “He makes the winds his angels and the flames of fire his servants”;

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)

while of the Son he said – “God is your throne for ever and ever; the sceptre of his kingdom is the sceptre of Justice; (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.

You love righteousness and hates iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the festal oil more abundantly than your peers.”

10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast established the earth, and the heauens are the workes of thine handes.

Again – “You, Lord, in the beginning did lay the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.

11 They shall perish, but thou doest remaine: and they all shall waxe olde as doeth a garment.

They will perish, but you remain; as a garment they will all grow old;

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.

As a mantle you will fold them up, and as a garment they will be changed, but you are the same, and your years will know no end.”

13 Vnto which also of the Angels saide he at any time, Sit at my right hand, til I make thine enemies thy footestoole?

To which of the angels has God ever said – “Sit you at my right hand until I put your enemies as a stool for your feet”?

14 Are they not al ministring spirits, sent forth to minister, for their sakes which shalbe heires of saluation?

Are not all the angels spirits in the service of God, sent out to minister for the sake of those who are destined to obtain salvation?
