< Hebrews 1 >

1 At sundry times and in diuers maners God spake in the olde time to our fathers by the Prophetes:
In many parts, and many ways, God of old having spoken to the fathers in 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)
in these last days did speak to us in a Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He did make 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 brightness of the glory, and the impress of His subsistence, bearing up also the all things by the saying of his might — through himself having made a cleansing of our sins, sat down at the right hand of the greatness in the highest,
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 messengers, as he did inherit 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 messengers said He ever, 'My Son thou art — I to-day have begotten thee?' and again, 'I will be to him for a father, and he shall 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 when again He may bring in the first-born to the world, He saith, 'And let them bow before him — all messengers of God;'
7 And of the Angels he saith, He maketh the spirites his messengers, and his ministers a flame of fire.
and unto the messengers, indeed, He saith, 'Who is making His messengers 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)
and unto the Son: 'Thy throne, O God, [is] to the age of the age; a sceptre of righteousness [is] the sceptre of thy reign; (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 didst love righteousness, and didst hate lawlessness; because of this did He anoint thee — God, thy God — with oil of gladness above thy partners;'
10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast established the earth, and the heauens are the workes of thine handes.
and, 'Thou, at the beginning, Lord, the earth didst found, and a work of thy hands are the heavens;
11 They shall perish, but thou doest remaine: and they all shall waxe olde as doeth a garment.
these shall perish, and Thou dost remain, and all, as a garment, shall become 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.
and as a mantle Thou shall roll them together, and they shall be changed, and Thou art the same, 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?
And unto which of the messengers said He ever, 'Sit at My right hand, till I may make thine 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 spirits of service — for ministration being sent forth because of those about to inherit salvation?
