Hebrews 1

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

In times past the word of God came to our fathers through the prophets, in different parts and in different ways;

2 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)

But now, at the end of these days, it has come to us through his Son, to whom he has given all things for a heritage, and through whom he made the order of the generations; (aiōn g165)

3 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,

Who, being the outshining of his glory, the true image of his substance, supporting all things by the word of his power, having given himself as an offering making clean from sins, took his seat at the right hand of God in heaven;

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

Having become by so much better than the angels, as the name which is his heritage is more noble than theirs.

5 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?”

To which of the angels did God say at any time, You are my Son, this day I have given you being? or, I will be his Father, and he will be my Son?

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

And again, when he is sending his only Son into the world, he says, Let all the angels of God give him worship.

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

And of the angels he says, Who makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire:

8 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)

But of the Son he says, Your seat of power, O God, is for ever and ever; and the rod of your kingdom is a rod of righteousness. (aiōn g165)

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

You have been a lover of righteousness and a hater of evil; and so God, your God, has put the oil of joy on your head more than on the heads of those who are with you.

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

You, Lord, at the first did put the earth on its base, and the heavens are the works of your hands:

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

They will come to their end; but you are for ever; they will become old as a robe;

12 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.”

They will be rolled up like a cloth, even like a robe, and they will be changed: but you are the same and your years will have no end.

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

But of which of the angels has he said at any time, Take your seat at my right hand till I put all those who are against you under your feet?

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

Are they not all helping spirits, who are sent out as servants to those whose heritage will be salvation?
