Hebrews 1

1 God, who at many times and in many ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,

GOD, who spake to the fathers of old at various times, and in different manners by the prophets,

2 Hath in these last days spoken to us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; (aiōn g165)

in these last days hath spoken to us by a Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; (aiōn g165)

3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

who being the splendour of his glory, and the very impress of his substance, and upholding all things with his powerful word, by himself having effected the cleansing of our sins, he sat down at the right hand of Majesty on high;

4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

made as much superior to the angels, as he hath inherited a more distinguished name than they.

5 For to which of the angels said he at any time, 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 ever said he, “My Son art thou, I have to-day begotten thee?” And again, “I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?”

6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

And again, when he introduces the first-begotten into the world, he saith, “Let all the angels of God also worship him.”

7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.

And concerning the angels indeed he thus speaks: “Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministering servants a flame of fire.”

8 But to the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. (aiōn g165)

But to the Son, “Thy throne, O God, is unto eternity; a sceptre of rectitude is the sceptre of thy kingdom. (aiōn g165)

9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy companions.

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of exultation above those who partake with thee.”

10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thy hands:

“And thou from the beginning, O Lord, hast founded the earth, and the heavens are the works of thine hands.

11 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall become old as doth a garment;

They will be destroyed, but thou remainest; and they all will grow old as a garment,

12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.

and as a cloak thou wilt wrap them up, and they will undergo a change: but thou art the same, and thy years will never end.”

13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool?

Unto which indeed of the angels said he ever, “Sit at my right hand until I put thine enemies for a footstool of thy feet?”

14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall inherit salvation?

Are they not all ministerial spirits, sent to perform service on account of those who are about to inherit salvation?
