< Hebrews 1 >
1 In many portions and in many ways long ago God having spoken to the fathers in 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 in ([this] last *N(k)O*) of the days these has spoken to us in [His] Son whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the ages (aiōn )
whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds. (aiōn )
3 who being [the] radiance of [His] glory and [the] exact expression of the substance of Him, upholding then all things by the declaration of the power of Him (through himself *KO*) [the] purification of sins having made (of us *K*) 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 By so much superior having become to the angels, as much as more excellent beyond theirs He has inherited a name.
Being as much superior to the angels, as He inheriteth a name more excellent than they.
5 To which for did He say ever of the angels: Son of mine are You yourself, I myself today have begotten You? And again: I myself will be to Him for a Father, and He himself will be to Me for a 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 When then again He may bring the Firstborn into the world He says: And should worship Him all [the] angels of God.
and when He again introduceth the First-born into the world, he saith, "And let all the angels of God worship Him."
7 And as to indeed the angels He says: The [One] making the angels of Him winds and the ministers of Him of fire a flame;
And as to the angels He saith, "Who maketh his angels spirits and his ministers a flame of fire:"
8 Unto however the Son: The throne of You, O God [is] to the age of the age; (and *no*) the scepter (*no*) of righteousness [is] scepter of the kingdom (of You. *NK(O)*) (aiōn )
but to the Son, "Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of righteousness: (aiōn )
9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. because of this has anointed You God, the God of You, with [the] oil of exultation above the companions of You.
thou lovest righteousness and hatest iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thine associates."
10 And You yourself in [the] beginning, Lord, of the earth laid the foundation, and works of the hands of You are the heavens;
And in another place, "Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast founded the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands:
11 They themselves will perish, You yourself however remain; and all like a garment will grow old,
they shall perish, but thou remainest; and they shall all grow old as a garment,
12 and like a robe You will roll up them (like a garment *NO*) also they will be changed; You yourself however the same are, and the years of You not will never end.
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 To which now of the angels has He said ever: do sit at [the] right hand of Me until when I may place the enemies of You [as] a footstool for the feet of You?
But to which of the angels hath He ever said, "Sit thou at my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?"
14 Surely all they are ministering spirits for service being sent forth for the sake of those being about to inherit salvation?
Are they not all ministring spirits, sent forth to attend on those who shall be heirs of salvation?
