Hebrews 1

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

God, having of old time spoken unto the fathers in the prophets by divers portions and in divers manners,

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)

hath at the end of these days spoken unto us in [his] Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds; (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 effulgence of his glory, and the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had made purification of sins, sat down 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.

having become by so much better than the angels, as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they.

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 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?

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

And when he again bringeth in the firstborn into the world he saith, And 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”;

And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels winds, And his ministers a flame 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 saith], Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; And the sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. (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 iniquity; Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

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

And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the works of thy hands:

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

They shall perish; but thou continuest: And they all shall wax old as doth 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.”

And as a mantle shalt thou roll them up, As a garment, and they shall be changed: But thou art the same, And thy years shall not 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?”

But of which of the angels hath he said at any time, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies the footstool of 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 to do service for the sake of them that shall inherit salvation?
