Hebrews 1

1 God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,

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

2 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 worlds. (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 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,

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 having become as much better than the angels as the more excellent name he has inherited is better than theirs.

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 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?”

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 When he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, “Let all the angels of God 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 Of the angels he says, “He makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire.”

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

8 But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your Kingdom. (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 iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.”

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 And, “You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works 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 continue. They all will grow old like a garment does.

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 mantle, and they will be changed; but you are the same. Your years won’t fail.”

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 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?”

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 Aren’t they all serving spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?

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