Hebrews 1
1 At sundry times and in diuers maners God spake in the olde time to our fathers by the Prophetes:
Long ago God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in many ways.
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)
But in these last days, he has spoken to us through a Son, whom he appointed to be the heir of all things. It is through him that God also 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,
He is the brightness of God's glory, the exact representation of his being. He even holds everything together by the word of his power. After he had made cleansing for sins, he sat down at 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.
He has become just as superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than their name.
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, today I have become your father”? Or to which of the angels did God ever say, “I will be a father to him, and he will be a son to me”?
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.
But again, when God brings the firstborn into the world, he says, “All God's angels must worship him.”
7 And of the Angels he saith, He maketh the spirites his messengers, and his ministers a flame of fire.
About the angels he says, “He is the one who makes his angels spirits, and his servants flames 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 to the Son he says, “Your throne, God, is forever and ever. The scepter of your kingdom is the scepter 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 have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of joy more than your companions.”
10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast established the earth, and the heauens are the workes of thine handes.
“In the beginning, Lord, you laid the earth's foundation. 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 will continue. They will all wear out like a piece of clothing.
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.
You will roll them up like a cloak, and they will be changed like a piece of clothing. But you are the same, and your years do not 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?
But to which of the angels has God said at any time, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies 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 angels spirits who serve, and who are sent to care for those who will inherit salvation?
