< Hebrews 1 >
1 God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
God, who at several times and in divers manners spoke in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 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 )
Has in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he has appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; (aiōn )
3 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;
Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word (rhema) of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:
4 having become so much better than the angels, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they have.
Being made so much better than the angels, as he has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
5 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"?
For unto which of the angels said he at any time, You are my Son, this day have I begotten you? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
6 And again, when he brings in the firstborn into the world he says, "Let all the angels of God worship him."
And again, when he brings in the First-Born into the world, he says, And let all the angels of God worship him.
7 Of the angels he says, "Who makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire."
And of the angels he says, Who makes his angels spirits, (pneuma) and his ministers a flame of fire.
8 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 )
But unto the Son he says, Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of your kingdom. (aiōn )
9 You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your companions."
You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
10 And, "In the beginning, Lord, you established the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.
And, You, Lord, in the beginning have laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of your hands:
11 They will perish, but you remain; and they will all wear out like a garment.
They shall perish; but you remain; and they all shall wax old as does a garment;
12 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."
And as a vesture shall you fold them up, and they shall be changed: but you are the same, and your years shall not fail.
13 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?"
But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
Are they not all ministering spirits, (pneuma) sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
