Hebrews 1
1 God, who, of old, at many times and in many ways, spoke to our ancestors, by the Prophets,
God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
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)
has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the ages (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,
His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on 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.
having become as much better than the angels as the more excellent name he has inherited is better than theirs.
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 say at any time, “You are my Son. Today I have become your father?” and again, “I will be to him a Father, and he will 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.’
When he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, “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’;
Of the angels he says, “He makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire.”
9 Thou lovest righteousness and hatest iniquity; Therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with the festal oil more abundantly than thy peers.’
You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.”
10 Again — ‘Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of thy hands.
And, “You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.
11 They shall perish, but thou remainest; As a garment they shall all grow old;
They will perish, but you continue. They all will grow old like a garment does.
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.’
You will roll them up like a mantle, and they will be changed; but you are the same. Your years will 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 which of the angels has he told at any time, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?”
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 not they all serving spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
