< Hebrews 1 >

1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
God, having spoken to the fathers through the prophets in many parts and in various ways, in the past,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; (aiōn g165)
has at the end of these days spoken to us by Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the ages; (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;
who being the projection of His glory and the very image of His essence, and sustaining all things by the expression of His[S] own power, when He had by Himself provided purification for our sins He sat down on the highest Majesty's right,
4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
having become so much superior to the angels as He has inherited a more excellent name than they have.
5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
For to which of the angels did He[F] ever say, “You are my Son, today I begot you,” and again, “I will be ‘Father’ to Him, and He will be ‘Son’ to me?”
6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
Again, when He introduces the Firstborn into the inhabited earth He says, “Let all God's angels worship Him[S].”
7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
Further, about the angels He[F] says, “Who makes His angels winds, His servants flames of fire”;
8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. (aiōn g165)
while to the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; ‘Scepter of Uprightness’ is the scepter of Your kingdom. (aiōn g165)
9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness, therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of exultation beyond Your companions.”
10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
Also: “You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are works of Your hands;
11 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
they will perish but You continue on —they will all grow old like a garment;
12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
You will roll them up like a cloak and they will be changed, while You stay the same and Your years will never end.”
13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
On the other hand, to which of the angels did He ever say, “Sit on my right until I place your enemies as a stool under your 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 being sent to serve those who are going to inherit salvation?
