< Hebrews 1 >

1 At sundry times and in diuers maners God spake in the olde time to our fathers by the Prophetes:
God, who at several times and in divers manners spoke in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
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 in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he has appointed heir of all things, by 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,
Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word (rhema) of his power, when he had by himself purged 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.
Being made so much better than the angels, as he has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
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 unto which of the angels said he at any time, You are my Son, this day have I begotten you? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall 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.
And again, when he brings in the First-Born into the world, he says, And 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.
And of the angels he says, Who makes his angels spirits, (pneuma) and his ministers 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 unto the Son he says, Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre 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, even 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 have laid the foundation of the earth; and 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 shall perish; but you remain; and they all shall wax old as does a garment;
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.
And as a vesture shall you fold them up, and they shall be changed: but you are the same, and your years shall not 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 to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool?
14 Are they not al ministring spirits, sent forth to minister, for their sakes which shalbe heires of saluation?
Are they not all ministering spirits, (pneuma) sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
