Hebrews 1

1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,

God, who in ancient days spoke to our ancestors in the prophets, at many different times and by various methods,

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

has at the end of these days spoken to us in a Son whom he appointed heir of all things; through whom also he made the universe. (aiōn g165)

3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:

He being an emanation of God’s glory and stamp of his substance, and upholding the universe by the utterances of his power, after by himself making purification of our sins, has taken his seat on the right hand of the Majesty on High.

4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

He is as much superior to the angels as the name that he has inherited surpasses theirs.

5 For to which of the angels said he at any time, You are my Son, this day have I begotten you? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

For to what angel did God ever say, Thou art my son; this day have I become thy Father? and again, I will be a father to him, and he shall be to me a son?

6 And again, when he brings in the first-begotten into the world, he says, And let all the angels of God worship him.

And further, when he brought the firstborn into the habitable world, he said, Let all the angels of God worship him.

7 And of the angels he says, Who makes his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.

While of the angels he said, He makes his angels into winds, His ministering servants into flames of fire.

8 But to the Son he says, Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your kingdom. (aiōn g165)

But to the Son he says. Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever, And the scepter of thy kingdom is the scepter of justice. (aiōn g165)

9 You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.

Thou hast loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore did God, thy God, anoint thee with the oil of gladness beyond thy comrades.

10 And, You, Lord, in the beginning have laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of your hands:

And, Thou, O Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundations of the earth, And the heavens are the work of thy hands.

11 They shall perish; but you remain; and they all shall wax old as does a garment;

They will perish, but thou remainest; They all will grow old like a garment,

12 And as a clothing shall you fold them up, and they shall be changed: but you are the same, and your years shall not fail.

Like a mantle thou wilt fold them up, And like a garment they will be changed. But thou art the same, And thy years will never fail.

13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool?

To which of the angels has he ever said, Sit at my right hand, Till I make thy foes a footstool for thy feet?

14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth for service in behalf of those who are about to inherit salvation?
