Hebrews 1
1 In many parts, and many ways, God of old having spoken to the fathers in the prophets,
God, who at different times and in different ways spoke of old to the fathers by the prophets,
2 in these last days did speak to us in a Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He did make the ages; (aiōn g165)
hath at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, by whom he also made the worlds, (aiōn g165)
3 who being the brightness of the glory, and the impress of His subsistence, bearing up also the all things by the saying of his might — through himself having made a cleansing of our sins, sat down at the right hand of the greatness in the highest,
who being a brightness from his glory and an image of his being, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself accomplished a cleansing of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
4 having become so much better than the messengers, as he did inherit a more excellent name than they.
having become so much superior to the angels, as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they.
5 For to which of the messengers said He ever, 'My Son thou art — I to-day have begotten thee?' and again, 'I will be to him for a father, and he shall be to Me for a son?'
For to which of the angels did he ever say: “Thou art my Son, I this day have begotten thee?” and again: “I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?”
6 and when again He may bring in the first-born to the world, He saith, 'And let them bow before him — all messengers of God;'
And again, when he hath brought in the first-begotten into the world, he saith: “And let all the angels of God pay him homage.”
7 and unto the messengers, indeed, He saith, 'Who is making His messengers spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire;'
And of the angels he saith: “Who maketh his angels winds, and his ministers a flame of fire;”
8 and unto the Son: 'Thy throne, O God, [is] to the age of the age; a sceptre of righteousness [is] the sceptre of thy reign; (aiōn g165)
but of the Son: “Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; and the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of righteousness. (aiōn g165)
9 thou didst love righteousness, and didst hate lawlessness; because of this did He anoint thee — God, thy God — with oil of gladness above thy partners;'
Thou lovedst righteousness, and hatedst iniquity; therefore God, thy God, anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.”
10 and, 'Thou, at the beginning, Lord, the earth didst found, and a work of thy hands are the heavens;
And: “Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst found the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands.
11 these shall perish, and Thou dost remain, and all, as a garment, shall become old,
They will perish, but thou remainest; and they will all become old as doth a garment,
12 and as a mantle Thou shall roll them together, and they shall be changed, and Thou art the same, and Thy years shall not fail.'
and thou wilt fold them up as a vesture, and they will be changed; but thou art the same, and thy years will not fail.”
13 And unto which of the messengers said He ever, 'Sit at My right hand, till I may make thine enemies thy footstool?'
But to which of the angels hath he ever said: “Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?”
14 are they not all spirits of service — for ministration being sent forth because of those about to inherit salvation?
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?
