< Hebrews 1 >

1 At sundry times and in diuers maners God spake in the olde time to our fathers by the Prophetes:
God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
2 in these last dayes hee hath spoken vnto vs by his Sonne, Whom he hath made heire of al things, by whome also he made the worldes, (aiōn g165)
has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds. (aiōn g165)
3 Who being the brightnes of the glory, and the ingraued forme of his person, and bearing vp all things by his mightie worde, hath by himselfe purged our sinnes, and sitteth at the right hand of the Maiestie in the highest places,
His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,
4 And is made so much more excellent then the Angels, in as much as hee hath obteined a more excellent Name then they.
having become as much better than the angels as the more excellent name he has inherited is better than theirs.
5 For vnto which of the Angels saide he at any time, Thou art my Sonne, this day begate I thee? and againe, I will be his Father, and he shalbe my Sonne?
For to which of the angels did he say at any time, “You are my Son. Today I have become your father?” and again, “I will be to him a Father, and he will be to me a Son?”
6 And againe, when he bringeth in his first begotten Sonne into the worlde, hee saith, And let all the Angels of God worship him.
When he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, “Let all the angels of God worship him.”
7 And of the Angels he saith, He maketh the spirites his messengers, and his ministers a flame of fire.
Of the angels he says, “He makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire.”
8 But vnto the Sonne he saith, O God, thy throne is for euer and euer: the scepter of thy kingdome is a scepter of righteousnes. (aiōn g165)
But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your Kingdom. (aiōn g165)
9 Thou hast loued righteousnes and hated iniquitie. Wherefore God, eue thy God, hath anointed thee with the oyle of gladnes aboue thy fellowes.
You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.”
10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast established the earth, and the heauens are the workes of thine handes.
And, “You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.
11 They shall perish, but thou doest remaine: and they all shall waxe olde as doeth a garment.
They will perish, but you continue. They all will grow old like a garment does.
12 And as a vesture shalt thou folde them vp, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy yeeres shall not faile.
You will roll them up like a mantle, and they will be changed; but you are the same. Your years won’t fail.”
13 Vnto which also of the Angels saide he at any time, Sit at my right hand, til I make thine enemies thy footestoole?
But which of the angels has he told at any time, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?”
14 Are they not al ministring spirits, sent forth to minister, for their sakes which shalbe heires of saluation?
Aren’t they all serving spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
