Hebrews 1
1 In many parts and many ways, God, having spoken long ago to the fathers by the prophets,
God, who, of old, at many times and in many ways, spoke to our ancestors, by the Prophets,
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 in these latter days spoken to us by the Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, and through whom 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,
For he is the radiance of the Glory of God and the very expression of his Being, upholding all creation by the power of his word; and, when he had made an expiation for the sins of men, he ‘took his seat at the right hand’ of God’s Majesty on high,
4 having become so much better than the messengers, as He inherited a more excellent name than them.
having shown himself as much greater than 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 which of the angels did God ever say — ‘Thou art my Son; this day I have become thy Father’? or 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 again, when God brought the First-born into the world, he said — ‘Let all the angels of God bow down before him.’
7 and to the messengers, indeed, He says, “The [One] who is making His messengers spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire”;
Speaking of the angels, he said — ‘He makes the winds his angels And the fiery flames his servants’;
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)
while of the Son he said — ‘God is thy throne for ever and ever; The sceptre of his Kingdom is the sceptre 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 lovest righteousness and hatest iniquity; Therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with the festal oil more abundantly than thy peers.’
10 and, “You, LORD, founded the earth at the beginning, And the heavens are a work of Your hands.
Again — ‘Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundation 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 shall perish, but thou remainest; As a garment they shall all grow old;
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.”
As a mantle thou wilt fold them up, And as a garment they shall be changed, But thou art the same, and thy years shall know 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?”
To which of the angels has God ever said — ‘Sit thou at my right hand Until I put thy enemies as a stool for thy feet’?
14 Are they not all spirits of service—being sent forth for ministry because of those about to inherit salvation?
Are not all the angels spirits in the service of God, sent out to minister for the sake of those who are destined to obtain Salvation?
