Hebrews 1
1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
God spoke to our fathers long ago at many times and in many ways through the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us through his Son,
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)
whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom 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 is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his nature, sustaining all things by his powerful word. When he had made purification for our sins by giving his own life, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in high places,
4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
having become as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.
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 God ever say, “Yoʋ are my Son; today I have begotten yoʋ”? Or 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 his 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, “He 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, “Yoʋr throne, O God, endures forever and ever; the scepter of yoʋr kingdom is a scepter of uprightness. (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.
Yoʋ have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; therefore God, yoʋr God, has anointed yoʋ with the oil of gladness beyond yoʋr 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 yoʋ, O Lord, laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the works of yoʋr hands.
11 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
They will perish, but yoʋ remain; 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.
Yoʋ will roll them up like a robe, and they will be changed. But yoʋ remain the same, and yoʋr years will never come to an 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?
To which of the angels did God ever say, “Sit at my right hand until I make yoʋr enemies a footstool for yoʋr 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 serve those who will inherit salvation?
