Hebrews 1

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

God, who in many parts and in many ways spoke in ancient times to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by his Son,

2 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)

whom he has appointed heir of all things, by whom, also, he made the ages; (aiōn g165)

3 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;

who, being the effulgence of his glory and the exact representation of his essence, and upholding all things by his own powerful word, when he had by himself made expiation for our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

4 Having become by so much better than the angels, as the name which is his heritage is more noble than theirs.

having become so far superior to the angels, as the name which he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.

5 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?

For to which of the angels did he at any time 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?

6 And again, when he is sending his only Son into the world, he says, Let all the angels of God give him worship.

And again, when he brings the first-begotten into the world, he says: And let all the angels of God worship him.

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

And of the angels he says: Who makes his angels winds, and his ministers a flame of fire.

8 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)

But to the Son: Thy throne, O God, is from age to age: a scepter of rectitude is the scepter of thy kingdom. (aiōn g165)

9 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.

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore, God, thy God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

10 You, Lord, at the first did put the earth on its base, and the heavens are the works of your hands:

And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning, didst lay the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands.

11 They will come to their end; but you are for ever; they will become old as a robe;

They shall perish; but thou remainest: and they all shall grow old as a garment;

12 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.

and as a mantle thou shalt fold them up, and they shall be changed; but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.

13 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?

But to which of the angels has he said at any time: Sit on my right hand, till I make thy enemies thy footstool?

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

Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister to those who shall inherit salvation?
