Hebrews 1
1 IN many ways, and many forms, God anciently conversed with our fathers, by the prophets:
God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
2 But in these latter days, he hath conversed with us, by his Son; whom he hath constituted heir of all things, and by whom he made the worlds; (aiōn g165)
has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds. (aiōn g165)
3 who is the splendor of his glory, and the image of himself, and upholdeth all by the energy of his word; and by himself he made a purgation of sins, and sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.
His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,
4 And he is altogether superior to the angels, as he hath also inherited a name which excelleth theirs.
having become as much better than the angels as the more excellent name he has inherited is better than theirs.
5 For to which of the angels did God 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?
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 to him a Father, and he will be to me a Son?”
6 And again, when bringing the first begotten into the world, he said: Let all the angels of God worship him.
When he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, “Let all the angels of God worship him.”
7 But of the angels he thus said: Who made his angels a wind, and his ministers a flaming fire.
Of the angels he says, “He makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire.”
8 But of the Son he said: Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; a righteous sceptre is the sceptre of thy kingdom. (aiōn g165)
But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your Kingdom. (aiōn g165)
9 Thou hast loved rectitude, and hated iniquity; therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness more than thy associates.
You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.”
10 And again, Thou hast from the beginning laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of thy hands:
And, “You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.
11 they will pass away, but thou endurest; and they all, like a robe, wax old;
They will perish, but you continue. They all will grow old like a garment does.
12 and like a cloak, thou wilt fold them up. They will be changed; but thou wilt be as thou art, and thy years will not be finished.
You will roll them up like a mantle, and they will be changed; but you are the same. Your years won’t fail.”
13 And to which of the angels did he ever say: Sit thou at my right hand, until I shall place thy enemies a footstool under 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 spirits of ministration, who are sent to minister on account of them that are to inherit life?
Aren’t they all serving spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
