Hebrews 1

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

God, who in many parts and in many ways spoke in ancient times to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by 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 has appointed heir of all things, by whom, also, he made 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 effulgence of his glory and the exact representation of his essence, and upholding all things by his own powerful word, when he had by himself made expiation for our sins, sat down at 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.

having become so far superior to the angels, as the name which he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.

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 of the angels did he at any time 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 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 the first-begotten 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 winds, 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 g165)

But to the Son: Thy throne, O God, is from age to age: a scepter of rectitude 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 fellows.

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

And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning, didst lay the foundation 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.

They shall perish; but thou remainest: and they all shall grow old as 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 mantle thou shalt fold them up, and they shall be changed; but thou art the same, and thy 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 has he said at any time: Sit on my right hand, till I make thy enemies thy 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, sent forth to minister to those who shall inherit salvation?
