Hebrews 1

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

Long ago God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many 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)

But in these last days, he has spoken to us through a Son, whom he appointed to be the heir of all things. It is through him that God also made the universe. (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.

He is the brightness of God's glory, the exact representation of his being. He even holds everything together by the word of his power. After he had made cleansing for sins, he sat down at 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.

He has become just as superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than their name.

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, “You are my son, today I have become your father”? Or to which of the angels did God ever say, “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.”

But again, when God brings the firstborn into the world, he says, “All God's angels must worship him.”

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

About the angels he says, “He is the one who makes his angels spirits, 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 to the Son he says, “Your throne, God, is forever and ever. The scepter of your kingdom is the scepter of justice. (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 have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of joy more than your companions.”

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

“In the beginning, Lord, you laid the earth's foundation. The heavens are the work of your hands.

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

They will perish, but you will continue. They will all wear out like a piece of clothing.

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.”

You will roll them up like a cloak, and they will be changed like a piece of clothing. But you are the same, and your years do not end.”

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

But to which of the angels has God said at any time, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a stool for 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?

Are not all angels spirits who serve, and who are sent to care for those who will inherit salvation?
