Hebrews 1

1 God, who in ancient days spoke to our ancestors in the prophets, at many different times and by various methods,

God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,

2 has at the end of these days spoken to us in a Son whom he appointed heir of all things; through whom also he made the universe. (aiōn g165)

in these last days has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the ages. (aiōn g165)

3 He being an emanation of God’s glory and stamp of his substance, and upholding the universe by the utterances of his power, after by himself making purification of our sins, has taken his seat on the right hand of the Majesty on High.

He is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had made purification for sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

4 He is as much superior to the angels as the name that he has inherited surpasses theirs.

having become so much better than the angels, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they have.

5 For to what angel did God ever say, Thou art my son; this day have I become thy Father? and again, I will be a father to him, and he shall be to me a son?

For to which of the angels did he say at any time, "You are my Son. Today I have become your Father"? And again, "I will be his Father, and he will be my Son"?

6 And further, when he brought the firstborn into the habitable world, he said, Let all the angels of God worship him.

And again, when he brings in the firstborn into the world he says, "Let all the angels of God worship him."

7 While of the angels he said, He makes his angels into winds, His ministering servants into flames of fire.

Of the angels he says, "Who makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire."

8 But to the Son he says. Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever, And the scepter of thy kingdom is the scepter of justice. (aiōn g165)

But of the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the righteous scepter is the scepter of your Kingdom. (aiōn g165)

9 Thou hast loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore did God, thy God, anoint thee with the oil of gladness beyond thy comrades.

You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your companions."

10 And, Thou, O Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundations of the earth, And the heavens are the work of thy hands.

And, "In the beginning, Lord, you established the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.

11 They will perish, but thou remainest; They all will grow old like a garment,

They will perish, but you remain; and they will all wear out like a garment.

12 Like a mantle thou wilt fold them up, And like a garment they will be changed. But thou art the same, And thy years will never fail.

As a cloak, you will roll them up, and like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will have no end."

13 To which of the angels has he ever said, Sit at my right hand, Till I make thy foes a footstool for thy feet?

But which of the angels has he told at any time, "Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?"

14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth for service in behalf of those who are about to inherit salvation?

Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
