< Hebrews 1 >

1 In many parts and many ways, God, having spoken long ago to the fathers by the prophets,
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spoke in time past to the fathers 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)
Hath in these last days spoken to us by [his] Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by 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 brightness of [his] glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification of our 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.
Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained 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 to 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 again, when he bringeth in the first-begotten 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 spirits, 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 to the Son, [he saith], Thy throne, O God, [is] for ever and ever: a scepter of righteousness [is] the scepter 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, [even] 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 remainest: and they all shall become 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 vesture wilt thou fold them up, 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 to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool?
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 minister for them who shall inherit salvation?
