Hebrews 1

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

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

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)

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

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

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?”

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 When he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, “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 Of the angels he says, “He makes his angels winds, and his servants 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 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 to the Son, “Thy throne, O God, is unto eternity; a sceptre of rectitude is the sceptre of thy kingdom. (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.”

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, “You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.

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

11 They will perish, but you continue. They all will grow old like a garment does.

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

12 You will roll them up like a mantle, and they will be changed; but you are the same. Your years won’t 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 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?”

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

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