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 various ways, spake of old unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken to us by his Son,

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)

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 refulgence of his glory and the imprest image of his person, and sustaining all things by his powerful word, having by Himself performed the purging away of our sins, sat down at 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 as much superior to the angels, as He inheriteth a name more excellent 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 did He ever say, "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 introduceth the First-born 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 as to 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, "Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of righteousness: (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, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thine associates."

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

And in another place, "Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast founded 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 shall all grow old as 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 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 hath He ever said, "Sit thou at my right hand, till I make thine 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 ministring spirits, sent forth to attend on those who shall be heirs of salvation?
