Hebrews 1

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

On many occasions and in many ways in the olden time, God having spoken to the fathers through the prophets, at the last of these days has spoken to us through his Son,

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)

whom he put forth the heir of all things, and through whom he created 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 his glory, and the character of his person, and holding up all things by the word of his power, having made purgation of the sins, sat down 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.

being so much greater than the angels, that he has inherited a name so much more excellent than they.

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 one of the angels at any time did he say, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? and again, I will be unto him a Father, and he shall be unto me 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 again when he may lead in the first begotten into the world, he says, Indeed let all the angels of God worship him.

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

And to the angels he says, he maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire: but to the Son he says,

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)

Thy throne, O God, is unto the age of the age; and the scepter of righteousness is the scepter of thy 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.

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness above 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, at the beginning, O Lord, didst lay the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands.

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

These shall perish; but thou dost remain: truly all these shall wax old like 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 thou shalt roll them up like a mantle, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail thee.

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 one of the angels has he at any time said, Sit thou on my right hand, until I may make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet?

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

Are not all these ministering spirits, having been sent forth unto ministration for the sake of those who are about to inherit salvation?
