< Hebrews 1 >

1 God, who in ancient times, spoke often, and in various ways, 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 has, in these last days, spoken to us by a Son, whom he has constituted Lord of all things, by whom, also, he made the universe: (aiōn g165)
whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds. (aiōn g165)
3 who, being in effulgence of his glory, and an exact representation of his character, and controlling all things by his own powerful word, after he had, by himself, made expiation for our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high;
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 being exalted as far above the angels, as the name he has inherited, is more excellent than theirs.
Being as much superior to the angels, as He inheriteth a name more excellent than they.
5 For, to which of the angels did he at any time say, "Thou art my Son: to-day I have begotten thee"? and again, "I will be his Father, and he shall be my 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 But when he brings again the First-born into the world, he says, "Let all the angels of God worship him."
and when He again introduceth the First-born into the world, he saith, "And let all the angels of God worship Him."
7 Whereas, concerning angels, he says, "Who makes winds his angels, and flaming fire his ministers."
And as to the angels He saith, "Who maketh his angels spirits and his ministers a flame of fire:"
8 But to the Son, "Thy throne, O God, endures for ever. The scepter of thy kingdom is a scepter of rectitude. (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 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore, God, thy God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness, above thy associates."
thou lovest righteousness and hatest iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thine associates."
10 And, "Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands.
And in another place, "Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast founded the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands:
11 They shall perish, but thou dost remain; and they, as a garment, shall grow old;
they shall perish, but thou remainest; and they shall all grow old as a garment,
12 and, as a vesture, thou wilt fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same; and they shall be changed; but thou art the same; and thy years shall never 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 Moreover, to which of the angels did he say, at any time, "Sit thou at my right hand, till I make thy enemies thy 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 ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall inherit salvation?"
Are they not all ministring spirits, sent forth to attend on those who shall be heirs of salvation?
