Hebrews 1

1 In many places and in many ways, in past times, God spoke to the fathers through the Prophets;

God, who in the past spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at various times and in many ways,

2 lastly, in these days, he has spoken to us through the Son, whom he appointed as the heir of all things, and through whom he made the world. (aiōn g165)

has in these last days spoken to us through his Son. God appointed the Son heir of everything, and made the universe through him. (aiōn g165)

3 And since the Son is the brightness of his glory, and the figure of his substance, and is carrying all things by the Word of his virtue, thereby accomplishing a purging of sins, he sits at the right hand of Majesty on high.

The Son is the radiant glory of God, and the visible expression of his true character. He sustains everything by his powerful command. When he had provided cleansing for sin he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.

4 And having been made so much better than the Angels, he has inherited a name so much greater than theirs.

He was placed much higher than the angels since he received a greater name than them.

5 For to which of the Angels has he ever said: “You are my Son; today have I begotten you?” Or again: “I will be a Father to him, and he shall be a Son to me?”

God never said to any angel, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father,” or “I will be a Father to him, and he will be a Son to me.”

6 And again, when he brings the only-begotten Son into the world, he says: “And let all the Angels of God adore him.”

Also, when he brought his firstborn Son into the world, he said, “Let all God's angels worship him.”

7 And about the Angels, certainly, he says: “He makes his Angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.”

Regarding the angels, he says, “He makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire,”

8 But about the Son: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of equity. (aiōn g165)

but about the Son he says, “Your throne, God, lasts forever and ever, and justice is the ruling scepter of your kingdom. (aiōn g165)

9 You have loved justice, and you have hated iniquity. Because of this, God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of exultation, above your companions.”

You love what is right, and hate what is lawless. That is why God, your God, has placed you above everyone else by anointing you with the oil of joy.”

10 And: “In the beginning, O Lord, you founded the earth. And the heavens are the work of your hands.

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

11 These shall pass away, but you will remain. And all will grow old like a garment.

They will come to an end, but you will continue. They will wear out like clothes do,

12 And you will change them like a cloak, and they shall be changed. Yet you are ever the same, and your years will not diminish.”

and you will roll them up like a cloak. Like clothes, they will be changed, but you never change, and your life never ends.”

13 But to which of the Angels has he ever said: “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool?”

But he never said to any angel, “Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies in subjection under your feet.”

14 Are they not all spirits of ministration, sent to minister for the sake of those who shall receive the inheritance of salvation?

What are the angels? They are beings that serve, sent out to help those who will receive salvation.
