< Hebrews 1 >

1 In many parts and many ways, God, having spoken long ago to the fathers by the prophets,
At sundry times and in diuers maners God spake in the olde time to our fathers by the Prophetes:
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)
in these last dayes hee hath spoken vnto vs by his Sonne, Whom he hath made heire of al things, by whome also he made the worldes, (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 brightnes of the glory, and the ingraued forme of his person, and bearing vp all things by his mightie worde, hath by himselfe purged our sinnes, and sitteth at the right hand of the Maiestie in the highest places,
4 having become so much better than the messengers, as He inherited a more excellent name than them.
And is made so much more excellent then the Angels, in as much as hee hath obteined a more excellent Name then 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 vnto which of the Angels saide he at any time, Thou art my Sonne, this day begate I thee? and againe, I will be his Father, and he shalbe my Sonne?
6 And when again He may bring the firstborn into the world, He says, “And let them worship Him—all messengers of God”;
And againe, when he bringeth in his first begotten Sonne into the worlde, hee 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, He maketh the spirites his messengers, 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 vnto the Sonne he saith, O God, thy throne is for euer and euer: the scepter of thy kingdome is a scepter of righteousnes. (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 loued righteousnes and hated iniquitie. Wherefore God, eue thy God, hath anointed thee with the oyle of gladnes aboue thy fellowes.
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 established the earth, and the heauens are the workes of thine handes.
11 These will perish, but You remain, And all will become old as a garment,
They shall perish, but thou doest remaine: and they all shall waxe olde as doeth 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 vesture shalt thou folde them vp, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy yeeres shall not faile.
13 And to which of the messengers did He ever say, “Sit at My right hand, Until I may make Your enemies Your footstool?”
Vnto which also of the Angels saide he at any time, Sit at my right hand, til I make thine enemies thy footestoole?
14 Are they not all spirits of service—being sent forth for ministry because of those about to inherit salvation?
Are they not al ministring spirits, sent forth to minister, for their sakes which shalbe heires of saluation?
