Hebrews 1

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

On many occasions and in many ways in the olden time, God having spoken to the fathers through the prophets, at the last of these days has spoken to us through his Son,

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 g165)

whom he put forth the heir of all things, and through whom he created the ages; (aiōn g165)

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 character of his person, and holding up all things by the word of his power, having made purgation of the 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 so much greater than the angels, that he has inherited a name so much more excellent 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 to which one of the angels at any time did he say, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? and again, I will be unto him a Father, and he shall be unto 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 may lead in the first begotten into the world, he says, Indeed 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 to the angels he says, he maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire: but to the Son he says,

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 g165)

Thy throne, O God, is unto the age of the age; and the scepter of righteousness is the scepter of thy kingdom. (aiōn g165)

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

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy comrades.

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

And thou, at the beginning, O Lord, didst lay the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands.

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

These shall perish; but thou dost remain: truly all these shall wax old like 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 thou shalt roll them up like a mantle, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail thee.

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?"

And to which one of the angels has he at any time said, Sit thou on my right hand, until I may make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet?

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

Are not all these ministering spirits, having been sent forth unto ministration for the sake of those who are about to inherit salvation?
