< Hebrews 1 >

1 In many places and in many ways, in past times, God spoke to the fathers through the Prophets;
IN many ways, and many forms, God anciently conversed with our fathers, by the prophets:
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)
But in these latter days, he hath conversed with us, by his Son; whom he hath constituted heir of all things, and by whom he made the worlds; (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.
who is the splendor of his glory, and the image of himself, and upholdeth all by the energy of his word; and by himself he made a purgation of sins, and sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.
4 And having been made so much better than the Angels, he has inherited a name so much greater than theirs.
And he is altogether superior to the angels, as he hath also inherited a name which excelleth theirs.
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?”
For to which of the angels did God ever 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 brings the only-begotten Son into the world, he says: “And let all the Angels of God adore him.”
And again, when bringing the first begotten into the world, he said: Let all the angels of God worship him.
7 And about the Angels, certainly, he says: “He makes his Angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.”
But of the angels he thus said: Who made his angels a wind, and his ministers a flaming 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 of the Son he said: Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; a righteous sceptre is the sceptre of thy 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.”
Thou hast loved rectitude, and hated iniquity; therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness more than thy associates.
10 And: “In the beginning, O Lord, you founded the earth. And the heavens are the work of your hands.
And again, Thou hast from the beginning laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of thy hands:
11 These shall pass away, but you will remain. And all will grow old like a garment.
they will pass away, but thou endurest; and they all, like a robe, wax old;
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 like a cloak, thou wilt fold them up. They will be changed; but thou wilt be as thou art, and thy years will not be finished.
13 But to which of the Angels has he ever said: “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool?”
And to which of the angels did he ever say: Sit thou at my right hand, until I shall place thy enemies a footstool under thy feet?
14 Are they not all spirits of ministration, sent to minister for the sake of those who shall receive the inheritance of salvation?
Are they not all spirits of ministration, who are sent to minister on account of them that are to inherit life?
