Hebrews 1
1 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,
Whereas, in many parts and in many ways of old, God spake unto the fathers, in the prophets,
At the end of these days, He hath spoken unto us in his Son, —whom he hath appointed heir of all things, through whom also he hath made the ages; (aiōn g165)
3 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.
Who, being an eradiated brightness of his glory, and an exact representation of his very being, also bearing up all things by the utterance of his power, purification of sins, having achieved, sat down on the right hand of the majesty in high places:
4 Being as much superior to the angels, as He inheriteth a name more excellent than they.
By so much becoming superior to the messengers, by as much as, going beyond them, he hath inherited a more distinguished name.
5 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?"
For unto which of the messengers said he at any time—My Son, art, thou, I, this day have begotten thee? and again—I, will become, his father, and, he, shall become my Son?
6 and when He again introduceth the First-born into the world, he saith, "And let all the angels of God worship Him."
But, whensoever he again introduceth the first-begotten into the habitable earth, he saith—And let all God’s messengers worship him!
7 And as to the angels He saith, "Who maketh his angels spirits and his ministers a flame of fire:"
Even as to the messengers, indeed, he saith—Who maketh his messengers, winds, and his ministers of state, a fiery flame;
8 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)
but, as to the Son, —Thy throne, O God, is unto times age-abiding, and—A sceptre of equity, is the sceptre of his kingdom, (aiōn g165)
9 thou lovest righteousness and hatest iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thine associates."
Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated lawlessness, —For this cause, hath God, thy God, anointed thee with the oil of exultation, beyond thy partners;
10 And in another place, "Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast founded the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands:
and—Thou, by way of beginning, Lord, the earth, didst found, and, the works of thy hands, are the heavens, —
11 they shall perish, but thou remainest; and they shall all grow old as a garment,
They, shall perish, but, thou, abidest still, and, all, as a mantle, shall be worn out,
12 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."
And, as if a robe, wilt thou fold them up, —as a mantle, and they shall be changed; but, thou, art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
13 But to which of the angels hath He ever said, "Sit thou at my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?"
But, to which of the messengers, hath he said, at any time—Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thy foes thy footstool?
14 Are they not all ministring spirits, sent forth to attend on those who shall be heirs of salvation?
Are they not, all, spirits, doing public service, —for ministry, sent forth, for the sake of them who are about to inherit salvation?
