Hebrews 1

1 GOD, who spake to the fathers of old at various times, and in different manners by the prophets,

In times past the word of God came to our fathers through the prophets, in different parts and in different ways;

2 in these last days hath spoken to us by a Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; (aiōn g165)

But now, at the end of these days, it has come to us through his Son, to whom he has given all things for a heritage, and through whom he made the order of the generations; (aiōn g165)

3 who being the splendour of his glory, and the very impress of his substance, and upholding all things with his powerful word, by himself having effected the cleansing of our sins, he sat down at the right hand of Majesty on high;

Who, being the outshining of his glory, the true image of his substance, supporting all things by the word of his power, having given himself as an offering making clean from sins, took his seat at the right hand of God in heaven;

4 made as much superior to the angels, as he hath inherited a more distinguished name than they.

Having become by so much better than the angels, as the name which is his heritage is more noble than theirs.

5 For to which of the angels ever said he, “My Son art thou, I have to-day begotten thee?” And again, “I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?”

To which of the angels did God say at any time, You are my Son, this day I have given you being? or, I will be his Father, and he will be my Son?

6 And again, when he introduces the first-begotten into the world, he saith, “Let all the angels of God also worship him.”

And again, when he is sending his only Son into the world, he says, Let all the angels of God give him worship.

7 And concerning the angels indeed he thus speaks: “Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministering servants a flame of fire.”

And of the angels he says, Who makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire:

8 But to the Son, “Thy throne, O God, is unto eternity; a sceptre of rectitude is the sceptre of thy kingdom. (aiōn g165)

But of the Son he says, Your seat of power, O God, is for ever and ever; and the rod of your kingdom is a rod of righteousness. (aiōn g165)

9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of exultation above those who partake with thee.”

You have been a lover of righteousness and a hater of evil; and so God, your God, has put the oil of joy on your head more than on the heads of those who are with you.

10 “And thou from the beginning, O Lord, hast founded the earth, and the heavens are the works of thine hands.

You, Lord, at the first did put the earth on its base, and the heavens are the works of your hands:

11 They will be destroyed, but thou remainest; and they all will grow old as a garment,

They will come to their end; but you are for ever; they will become old as a robe;

12 and as a cloak thou wilt wrap them up, and they will undergo a change: but thou art the same, and thy years will never end.”

They will be rolled up like a cloth, even like a robe, and they will be changed: but you are the same and your years will have no end.

13 Unto which indeed of the angels said he ever, “Sit at my right hand until I put thine enemies for a footstool of thy feet?”

But of which of the angels has he said at any time, Take your seat at my right hand till I put all those who are against you under your feet?

14 Are they not all ministerial spirits, sent to perform service on account of those who are about to inherit salvation?

Are they not all helping spirits, who are sent out as servants to those whose heritage will be salvation?
