Hebrews 1

1 Long ago God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in many ways.

In times past the word of God came to our fathers through the prophets, in different parts and in different ways;

2 But in these last days, he has spoken to us through a Son, whom he appointed to be the heir of all things. It is through him that God also made the universe. (aiōn g165)

But now, at the end of these days, it has come to us through his Son, to whom he has given all things for a heritage, and through whom he made the order of the generations; (aiōn g165)

3 He is the brightness of God's glory, the exact representation of his being. He even holds everything together by the word of his power. After he had made cleansing for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.

Who, being the outshining of his glory, the true image of his substance, supporting all things by the word of his power, having given himself as an offering making clean from sins, took his seat at the right hand of God in heaven;

4 He has become just as superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than their name.

Having become by so much better than the angels, as the name which is his heritage is more noble than theirs.

5 For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my son, today I have become your father”? Or to which of the angels did God ever say, “I will be a father to him, and he will be a son to me”?

To which of the angels did God say at any time, You are my Son, this day I have given you being? or, I will be his Father, and he will be my Son?

6 But again, when God brings the firstborn into the world, he says, “All God's angels must worship him.”

And again, when he is sending his only Son into the world, he says, Let all the angels of God give him worship.

7 About the angels he says, “He is the one who makes his angels spirits, and his servants flames of fire.”

And of the angels he says, Who makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire:

8 But to the Son he says, “Your throne, God, is forever and ever. The scepter of your kingdom is the scepter of justice. (aiōn g165)

But of the Son he says, Your seat of power, O God, is for ever and ever; and the rod of your kingdom is a rod of righteousness. (aiōn g165)

9 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of joy more than your companions.”

You have been a lover of righteousness and a hater of evil; and so God, your God, has put the oil of joy on your head more than on the heads of those who are with you.

10 “In the beginning, Lord, you laid the earth's foundation. The heavens are the work of your hands.

You, Lord, at the first did put the earth on its base, and the heavens are the works of your hands:

11 They will perish, but you will continue. They will all wear out like a piece of clothing.

They will come to their end; but you are for ever; they will become old as a robe;

12 You will roll them up like a cloak, and they will be changed like a piece of clothing. But you are the same, and your years do not end.”

They will be rolled up like a cloth, even like a robe, and they will be changed: but you are the same and your years will have no end.

13 But to which of the angels has God said at any time, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a stool for your feet”?

But of which of the angels has he said at any time, Take your seat at my right hand till I put all those who are against you under your feet?

14 Are not all angels spirits who serve, and who are sent to care for those who will inherit salvation?

Are they not all helping spirits, who are sent out as servants to those whose heritage will be salvation?
