Hebrews 1

1 God, who, of old, at many times and in many ways, spoke to our ancestors, by 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 has in these latter days spoken to us by the Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. (aiōn g165)

whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds. (aiōn g165)

3 For he is the radiance of the Glory of God and the very expression of his Being, upholding all creation by the power of his word; and, when he had made an expiation for the sins of men, he ‘took his seat at the right hand’ of God’s 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 having shown himself as much greater than the angels as the Name that he has inherited surpasses theirs.

Being as much superior to the angels, as He inheriteth a name more excellent than they.

5 For to which of the angels did God ever say — ‘Thou art my Son; this day I have become thy Father’? or again — ‘I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me 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 And again, when God brought the First-born into the world, he said — ‘Let all the angels of God bow down before him.’

and when He again introduceth the First-born into the world, he saith, "And let all the angels of God worship Him."

7 Speaking of the angels, he said — ‘He makes the winds his angels And the fiery flames his servants’;

And as to the angels He saith, "Who maketh his angels spirits and his ministers a flame of fire:"

8 while of the Son he said — ‘God is thy throne for ever and ever; The sceptre of his Kingdom is the sceptre of Justice; (aiōn g165)

but to the Son, "Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of righteousness: (aiōn g165)

9 Thou lovest righteousness and hatest iniquity; Therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with the festal oil more abundantly than thy peers.’

thou lovest righteousness and hatest iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thine associates."

10 Again — ‘Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of thy hands.

And in another place, "Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast founded the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands:

11 They shall perish, but thou remainest; As a garment they shall all grow old;

they shall perish, but thou remainest; and they shall all grow old as a garment,

12 As a mantle thou wilt fold them up, And as a garment they shall be changed, But thou art the same, and thy years shall know no 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 of the angels has God ever said — ‘Sit thou at my right hand Until I put thy enemies as a stool for thy feet’?

But to which of the angels hath He ever said, "Sit thou at my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?"

14 Are not all the angels spirits in the service of God, sent out to minister for the sake of those who are destined to obtain Salvation?

Are they not all ministring spirits, sent forth to attend on those who shall be heirs of salvation?
