Hebrews 1

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

God, who, of old, at many times and in many ways, spoke to our ancestors, by the prophets,

2 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)

has in these latter days spoken to us by the Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. (aiōn g165)

3 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.

For he is the radiance of the glory of God and the expression of his being, upholding all creation by the power of his word; and, when he had made an expiation for the sins of humanity, he took his seat at the right hand of God’s Majesty on high,

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

having shown himself as much greater than the angels as the name that he has inherited surpasses theirs.

5 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.”

For to which of the angels did God ever say – “You are my Son; this day I have become your Father”? or again – “I will be to him a Father, and he will be to me a Son”?

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

And again, when God brought the firstborn into the world, he said – “Let all the angels of God bow down before him.”

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

Speaking of the angels, he said – “He makes the winds his angels and the flames of fire his servants”;

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

while of the Son he said – “God is your throne for ever and ever; the sceptre of his kingdom is the sceptre of Justice; (aiōn g165)

9 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.”

You love righteousness and hates iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the festal oil more abundantly than your peers.”

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

Again – “You, Lord, in the beginning did lay the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.

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

They will perish, but you remain; as a garment they will all grow old;

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

As a mantle you will fold them up, and as a garment they will be changed, but you are the same, and your years will know no end.”

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

To which of the angels has God ever said – “Sit you at my right hand until I put your enemies as a stool for your feet”?

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

Are not all the angels spirits in the service of God, sent out to minister for the sake of those who are destined to obtain salvation?
