Hebrews 1

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

In many parts and many ways, God, having spoken long ago to the fathers by the prophets,

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

in these last days speaks to us in [His] Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom He also 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 (rhema) 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 brightness of the glory, and the impress of His subsistence, bearing up also all things by the saying of His might—having made a cleansing of our sins through Himself, sat down at the right hand of the Greatness in the highest,

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

having become so much better than the messengers, as He inherited a more excellent name than them.

5 For unto 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 which of the messengers did He ever say, “You are My Son—today I have begotten You?” And again, “I will be to Him for a Father, and He will be to Me for a Son?”

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

And when again He may bring the firstborn into the world, He says, “And let them worship Him—all messengers of God”;

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

and to the messengers, indeed, He says, “The [One] who is making His messengers spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire”;

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

but to the Son: “Your throne, O God, [is] throughout the age of the age; The scepter of righteousness [is the] scepter of Your kingdom; (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.

You loved righteousness, and hated lawlessness; Because of this He anointed You—God, Your God—With oil of gladness above Your partners”;

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

and, “You, LORD, founded the earth at the beginning, And the heavens are a work of Your hands.

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

These will perish, but You remain, And all will become old as a garment,

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

And You will roll them together as a mantle, and they will be changed, But You are the same, and Your years will not 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?

And to which of the messengers did He ever say, “Sit at My right hand, Until I may make Your enemies Your footstool?”

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

Are they not all spirits of service—being sent forth for ministry because of those about to inherit salvation?
