Hebrews 1

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

God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,

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)

in these last days has spoken to us by a 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;

He is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had made purification for sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

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 better than 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 say at any time, "You are my Son. Today I have become your Father"? And again, "I will be his Father, and he will be my Son"?

6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

And again, when he brings in the firstborn into the world he says, "Let all the angels of God worship him."

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

Of the angels he says, "Who makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame 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)

But of the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the righteous scepter 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 iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above 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:

And, "In the beginning, Lord, you established the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the 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 remain; and they will all wear out 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.

As a cloak, you will roll them up, and like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will have no 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?

But which of the angels has he told at any time, "Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of 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, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
