Hebrews 1
1 In many parts and many ways, God, having spoken long ago to the fathers by the prophets,
God, who in ancient days spoke to our ancestors in the prophets, at many different times and by various methods,
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)
has at the end of these days spoken to us in a Son whom he appointed heir of all things; through whom also he made the universe. (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,
He being an emanation of God’s glory and stamp of his substance, and upholding the universe by the utterances of his power, after by himself making purification of our sins, has taken his seat on the right hand of the Majesty on High.
4 having become so much better than the messengers, as He inherited a more excellent name than them.
He is as much superior to the angels as the name that he has inherited surpasses 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?”
For to what angel did God ever say, Thou art my son; this day have I become thy Father? and again, I will be a father to him, and he shall be to me a 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 further, when he brought the firstborn into the habitable world, he said, Let all the angels of God worship him.
7 and to the messengers, indeed, He says, “The [One] who is making His messengers spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire”;
While of the angels he said, He makes his angels into winds, His ministering servants into 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 to the Son he says. Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever, And the scepter of thy kingdom is the scepter of justice. (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”;
Thou hast loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore did God, thy God, anoint thee with the oil of gladness beyond thy comrades.
10 and, “You, LORD, founded the earth at the beginning, And the heavens are a work of Your hands.
And, Thou, O Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundations of the earth, And the heavens are the work of thy hands.
11 These will perish, but You remain, And all will become old as a garment,
They will perish, but thou remainest; They all will grow old like a garment,
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.”
Like a mantle thou wilt fold them up, And like a garment they will be changed. But thou art the same, And thy years will never fail.
13 And to which of the messengers did He ever say, “Sit at My right hand, Until I may make Your enemies Your footstool?”
To which of the angels has he ever said, Sit at my right hand, Till I make thy foes a footstool for thy 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 ministering spirits, sent forth for service in behalf of those who are about to inherit salvation?
